that perhaps, after all, the Judge had not
assumed any very great financial re-

He can't pe a coward, though, Han

that the risk Of personal violence which
he ran was genuine. She had formed
her own unsympathetic estimate of him

Betty gave a sigh of relief. She had
been reproaching herself for her neg

so much for him and had done nothing.
Now it was too late for her personally

The structure itself, an oak trimmed

1t is attractive in appearance, and fits
in well with the two handsome buildings
not far away in Seventeenth street.-the
Pan-American Union Building and Con-
tinental Memorial Hall The new build
ing is severely simple, except for an or
namental cement doorway with an iron
grilled oak door, in the front. The large
circular-headed windows are in stained
oak, and the heavy overhanging cornice
is of the same material, standing out in
strong contrast against the pure white
stucco walls.
The first floor contains a clerical room
and directors room adjoining, in the
southeast corner. A large chemical lab
oratory, % by IS feet, occupies the north
east corner. and the remainder of the
floor is taken up with another labora-

room.
In the cellar is a paint laboratory, and

WORK ON BIG CONDUIT
TO SAVE HISTORIC BRIDGE

December / will see the completion Of
the repair work on the Cabin Johr
Bridge, made necessary by the heavy
leakage from the conduit the bridge sup
ports. The leakage from the big conduit
amounted to about 100000 gallons day
and had quite an appreciable effect upon
Washington's water supply.
The bridge and the conduit were con.
structed in the early SOS, and have re-
ceived practically no attention since. AS
a result, the leakage from the brick
conduit, increasing year by year. con-
stituted a serious menace to the historic
bridge itself
The trouble has been remedied by iron
piping, 50 feet long and about eight
feet in diameter. This piping, in three
foot sections, has been formed into a
single tube. Before the work is finally
completed the tube will have been care
fully cemented inside and the entire tube
imbedded in grote, a composition of
cement, sand, and water. For the work.
$4,000 was appropriated at the last ses-
sion Of Congress.

Same Old Bunco Game.

The people generally, and the vot-
ers in Nebraska in particular, should
be advised that the democrats are
again this year attempting to play
the same old bunco game by mis-
branding democratic candidates with.
the populist label Every candidate
on the democratic state ticket is to
have his name on the official ballot
twice. once as a democrat and again
as a populist In this way they ex-
pect to purloin the votes of old-line
populists which would not otherwise
be cast for democrats who never had
anything in common with the popu-
lists except to use them to ride
into office. There is a serious ques-
ton whether the election law con-
templates or permits this sort of i'm
position on the voter, but even
though 1t be regarded as lawful, the
unfairness of it is plain and palpable.
The incorporation of the populist
name by candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket is the theft of something
that does not belong to them, no less
reprehensible because cunningly done
in evasion of the law.
