MIR. Justis Says More Apply for Baths
Than Any Other Glass.

1.-The only solution of difficult prob

secretary of the Provident association
Sunday night, in speaking before the
young people of the First Congregs.-
tional church on Social Conditions in
Topeka" sis to pension the mothers.
THE greatest trouble we have is in
connection with the mother who of
necessity must work in the daytime
and allow her children to run on the
streets. Sixty per cent of the reform
school children are of this class.
Comparatively speaking, we have
not a great many foreigners in Topeka,
but in the last two or three years a
large number of Russians have come
to the city. In what is called Little
Russia on the North side there are
about sixty families of this type
There are good many Germans in
the shops district, and they are char
acterized by their industry, but there is
one bad feature about them-t1ey seem
to think they must have their beer and
even whisky, and they often become in
toxicated.
Another foreign element is coming
in in increasing numbers-the Mexi-
cans. have found that they are
clearly as a whole, and more of them
apply at the Provident association for
baths than any other class of people.
On Saturday nights they line up for
baths about six or seven deep. Their
great failure is, however, that they
seem to want to live several families i'll

tive work among the colored people.

MUST REBUILD THE BRIDGE.
City VIII Now Repair Blunder of En-
gineer's Department.

The city engineer is drawing up plans
and Specifications for the reconstruc-
ton of the Fillmore street bridge. This
is the bridge built by the city and con-
demned by bridge experts. The courts
decided that the city was responsible
for the errors in the bridge eonstruc-
ton and now it is up to the taxpayers
to rebuild the structure.
When the plans are drawn up and APP
proved a new contract will be let for
the work. The taxpayers are praying
that this time the city engineers force
will make plans for a bridge that will
stand up.
The work will be done as soon as pos
sible on account of the present incon-
venience to people living south of the
bridge across the Shunganunga creek.
Mayor Billiard. president of the Mutual
Ice company, has arranged to have ice
delivered across the creek-before ice
companies refused to make the round
about trip on account of the condemned
bridge. Grocers also have been per-
suaded to make deliveries.

CHASED BY A BUFFALO.
Tom Lowe Has a Narrow Escape at
Gage Park.

Tom Lowe, an assistant at the Gage
Park zoo, narrowly escaped serious in
jury Sunday afternoon when he was feed
ing the buffalo.
Lowe entered The big pen with a bucket
of water and a bucket of feed, as was mis-
custom. One CT the COWS was about to
give birth to d LADY buffalo and the herd
was in a peev.sh mood.
When he had walked half way across
the pen COW took after aim. Lowe
lodged to the edge of the senco with the
COW close on his heels. 1t was too 10 tie
to leap on the fence to safety and Lowe
started on a Marathon around the pen.
Round and round they went-Lowe
running as fast as he could stretch his
legs and the old COW snorting and kick
ing up the mud. Finally Lowe rcmem-
bered that he was still carrying the
bucket of water and feed. Turning quick
ly he dashed the water in the face OF the
oncoming COW and threw the bucket of
feed at her. This dumfounded the aniInal
for a minute and Lowe reached the fence
and vaulted over it to safety.
1t was a narrow escape ann for few
days Lowe VIII feed the buffalo from the
outside of the fence.

SIX HOUSES m A ROW RATDED.
Police Find Liquor i'm Only Three of
Them.

Six little houses all in a row were
visited by six coppers and a sergeant
Saturday night just to see how things
were going under the Billiard admins
tration of the prGhibitory law. The row
was 304, BOG. 3OS, 312, 316, 31S, all on
East First street. The coppers were
Summers. Anderson, Hicks, Palmer,
Duncan, Maze. Sergeant Sauls was in
command of the expedition.
Three of the places were found to
harbor the stuff sought. At Dick Heit-
mans place, 316 a case of beer and
case of whisky were unearthed. A
half ton of hay had to be moved to
get to the whisky in the barn loft but
a cop can do anything armed with a
search warrant. Two barrels of beer
were found under the parlor floor of
D. Beasely's house at 306. A rug con-
cealed the trap door but the copper
knows all about those things. At Green
Watson's 319, 20 cold bottles were jerk
ed right off the ice.
Beasely and Watson were both taken
to the police station where they gave
bond. Hoffman was sick in bed so the
police allowed him to remain there. He
is on parole for a. previous offense and
likely will get the direct route behind
the bars.
