Lively Runaway

The Steam Laundry delivery team
ran away at noon today, running
from the laundry barn up onto
Litchfeld avenue. Here they first
collided with Henry Bjelkengren's
team that was tied at the side of
the avenue, injuring one of the
horses on a leg to some extent. At
the G. o. Sand corner they ran into
the show window, completely de-
molishing one Of the large plate
glass windows. Here they were
stopped. The tongue of the deliv-
cry wagon was broken and the hor-
SEES were cut up some by the shiv-
cred glass, but apparently not seri-
ously so. The cost of the pane of
glass is about $40, with no insur-
ance.

The Festival of Minerva,

The most notable festival at Athens
was in honor of Minerva. All classes
of citizens on this day marched in pro-
cession. The oldest went first, then
the young men, the children, the
young women, the matrons and the
people of the lower orders The most
prominent object in the parade was
ship propelled by hidden machinery
and bearing at it's masthead the sa-
cred banner of the goddess.

NEW THINGS.

l am not sure in this era Of
new laws, new standards and
new morals whether the fact
that a thing is old is q recon-
mendatiOn or an indictment.
There is evidence both ways.
But my conviction is that age
may have it's benefits and even
things that have passed away
may perhaps have been respecta-
BILE. We live too much in the
present, too little in the past,
and l am apprehensive that we
live too little in the future. Our
eyes get centered on single OBJ
ject, and we pursue it with an
eagerness that seems like fren-

neglect to preserve and forget
that there have been and will be
other times than now.-Frank s.

VACATION OF 80 DAYS.
Will Be Allowed Rural Mail Carriers
Each Year.

Washington, March POSTMASTER
General Hitchcock occupied a seat
in the chamber while the postoffice
appropriation bill was under cOnSid
Grafton today and made occasional
suggestions to senators regarding
changes. Among amendments adopt
ed was one by Senator Swanson grant
ing 80 days leave of absence annual
ly to rural free delivery letter carriers.
When the provision reasing to four
cents a pound the rate of postage on
the advertising sections of the large
magazines was reached, Senator Cum
minis took the floor. He said he was
prepared to and would discuss the
measure on its merits, '.for a longer
time than would suit the convenience
of the senate at this time n
Senator Penrose announced that the
committee had decided not to urge the
amendment now, but rather to sug-
gest a substitute providing for COM
mission to consider the subject. SEN
ator Carter then gave detailed his
tory of the investigation regarding the
weighing of the mails, which was in
tended to show that second class mail
matter cost far more for the trans
portation than its postage.
Senator Bristow took exceptions to
his figures
II challenge every statement made
regarding the cost of handling second
class matter" he said. 1.-THE state
ments are all greatly exaggerated" o

DATE IS ADVANCED.
Extra Session VIII Be Called to Begin
March is.

Washington, March 3.-From admin
istration circles today comes the I'M
equivocal statement that an extra ses-
sion of congress is inevitable unless
the senate before noon tomorrow
adopts the pending bill providing for
reciprocity with Canada.
This statement was called forth by
the circulation of a rumor last night
that the president was to consult with
Consul General John G. Foster, just ar
rived from Ottawa, and with a member
of the Canadian cabinet regarding the
feasibility of deferring final action
upon the reciprocity agreement until
next winter.
Eleven VS. after congress adjourns
tomorrow it probably will be called to-
gether in extra session. March Is was
the date given today at the White
House as the time which President
Taft in all probability would select All
hope has been abandoned by the adj
ministration of getting reciprocity be-
fore congress adJourns.
Republican leaders have urged on the
president the advisability of calling
the session as. early as possible SO thai
it will not be necessary to sit during
the heat of the summer as was the
case during the debate on the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill.

LITTLE GIRL BITTEN.
bog With Rabies Attacked Unknown
Child.

With the hope of saving her life,
Topeka doctors are today looking for
the little girl who was bitten by dog
Thursday afternoon, while running
along West street, near Eleventh.
The dog has been proven to have
had hydrophobia.
A number of dogs which were Bit
ten by this same dog are being sought,
that they may be muzZled or locked
up until shown to be safe.
The mad dog was a pet belonging
to Mrs. G. o. Mason at 1912 West
street. Someone who saw it bite 9TH
er dogs and the little girl, telephoned
to DR.. s. J. Crumbine of the state
board of health and he in turn tele-
phoned Dr. H. B. Hogeboom, to go
to the neighborhood and ascertain the
facts.
When DIR. Hogeboom reached the
vicinity he learned that the supposed
mad dog had finally been killed in a
fight with a bull dog. Mrs. Mason
had taken the carcass to the barn and
refused to allow the doctor to have its
head. In spite of her protests, he
broke in the barn door, took the head

this morning that the head contained
the feared bacteria.
The doctors and others who have
been advised are now conducting a
search for the little girl hoping to
secure treatment for her before she
reaches a critical stage.
