Next Tuesday E|ec:
lion Day.

Next Tuesday the voters OF
Jaeper will elect two new trus-
tees, there are candidates, two
who voted to burden the laborlng
man and poor widows with the
cost of a so called Sanitary sew
err Two who would not have vot-
ed for the sewer, and who II
elected will see that grating is
cut out and the engineer and con-
tractor compelled to toe the
mark. There is such a thing as
firing incompetent engineers and
contractors. The voters are call
ed up on to decide between the
two sets of candidates. II they
approve of the letting OF thesew-
er contract they will vote to re-
elect the present holders. if they
are opposed to the Sewer bust
ness they will vote to put new
men in place of those who voted
to place an extra tax on thcn
Personally we shall net weep
either way, if the rest can stand
for it we will have b. But we
do not like the idea Of the reck-
less taxing of people for unneces
sary things, and the sanitary
sewer rat bole fake is unneces-
sary. Go to the polls Tuesday
and let your vote be governed
by what you believe to be the
best interest of the town and
yourself as a citizen thereof.
If you are in favor of high ex-
pense for the benefit of the few,
order the purchase of the North
Side of the square for 1O,OOO.OO
dollars and the erection thereon
of a new town hall at an expense
of half a Million. A building
that will make the new court
house look like a counterfeit dime
with whole in it. 1t is up to
voters; we have said our last say.

other, finding only temporary
benefit. This is discouraging.
but there is Ole special kidney
medicine that cures permanently

right here IN Jasper
Here is the testimony of one
who used Doan's Kidney Pills
years ago, and now states that
the cure was lasting.
Mrs. E. Parker, Smoky Row,
Jasper, Ind, says: My little
boy was afflicted with a kidney
weakness and his trouble caused
me no end of annoyance. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Flick
e Pfau's Drug Store, effected a
cure and had no bad after effects,
I heartily recommend this rene
dy and advise its in similar cases.
Statement given April "a, 1907

NOT FOR ART DANCING.
TheanO's Engagement Cancelled Be
cause of Small Audience.

Topeka people do not appreciate aes-
thetic dancing. Theano, who was to
appear at the Grand Wednesday after
noon and evening as an interpretative
dancer of Greek art dancing learned
the truth of this statement She made
a jump here from Albuquerque, N. NJ,
and had been on the train SO hours. The
long ride and the disappointment be-
cause only a handful of people were at
the Grand Tuesday afternoon made her
ILL., Because of this and the small audi
ence, and the delay caused by a late
train, the matinee was cancelled When
time for the evening performance came,
only about a dozen people were pres
ent. The engagement was again can
ceIed. However, it is not improbable
that she will return to Topeka in the
future.
The papers in the cities where she has
danced give her good notices. Accord
ing to these Topeka people missed
something worth while.
Francis Hendricks, Theanos hus-
band, has composed the music which
the young woman interprets in motion.
Both are good looking and Madam
Theano is worth going miles to see.
She came to the United States from
Paris Mr.. Hendricks has studied piano
in Berlin. They left for Denver this
afternoon, cancelling Kansas City
engagement.

believes that people are trying to kill
him and last night he ran away from

Miss Lulu Haffner received a letter
recently in which Martinson told her
of the brothers condition. Haffner' s
father is a wealthy Iowa farmer and
the young mans sister came to To-
peka last week with the hope that she
could induce her brother to return to
Iowa. Young Haffner consented to
return to his parents and his sister
prepared to take him home this aft

morning when she found that her
brother had run away.

came to Topeka and appealed to Pro-

CITY GETS BRIDGE
Street Railway Gives Away Clay
Street Structure.
StOtts Dared Patten to Do 1t
and He Did.

The street railway has given the
city bridge. 1t wasn't bride or a
reward for any special favor. 1t was
just a little remen brance from Albert
city administration.
The bridge is the present street car
structure across the Shunganunga
creek on Clay street The city will
take possession of the bridge when
the street car company builds it's new
bridge over the creek on Buchanan
street.
It was through a dare on the part
of Commissioner Stotts that the bridge
was presented to the city.
Wednesday afternoon the city COM
missioners and Superintendent Patten
were out near the proposed site of the
new street car bridge on Buchanan
street, figuring on combination
What are you going to do with
your old bridge?" Commissioner Stotts
asked Superintendent Patten.
Il don't know" answered Patten-
I'VE might be able to sell it to the
city,"
%sen it nothing" retorted stotts.
BE a good sport now, and give it to
u.s. We win make a foot bridge out
'1u just do that" laughed Patten.
Commissioner Stotts repeated the
conversation to the rest of the COM
nissionerS who were standing on the
creek bank. Then Mayor BLIZZARD
mounted a tree stump, removed his
hat and said:
commissioners, come to order"
The commissioners who were on
the scene removed their hats and lis
tened to the mayor. Mr.. Billiard told
them of the proposition made by Supt.
Patten.
"AI in favor of accepting this
bridge. say l." dictated the mayor.
IT, came the commissioner chorus.
Mr.. Patten, we accept this bridge
with thanks" said the mayor turning
to the astonished superintendent
And today before the board of city
commissioners the emergency meeting
was accepted as official.
The street railway company viii be-
gin Immediately to build its line down
Buchanan street from Seventeenth to
the end of the line. 1t is situated now
on Clay street. This change IS the
result of the stormy sessions of the old
council a few years ago when the
street railway asked for new ordin-
ance franchise.
The railway company has paid into
the city treasury enough money to
pay for an eight foot strip of pave
ment on Buchanan street from Seven
teenth street south This money will
be refunded to the taxpayers.
