HUNTING TRIP

Wednesday afternoon, armed with
an air gun and few shot as imple-
ments of the chase, several Chanute
girls started out on a hike. They
went north on the Katy tracks and
after many varied and comical mis-
adventures, they reached a point,
which some of the number claim
must haye been as far north as Kan
sas City, at least, They returned
from their promenade on the ties
about six thirty, bitterly disappointed
that they had seen no birds or ducks,
and had been compelled to shoot the
tin cans strewed by the roadside, to
console themselves. Those In the
party were Mesdames Harry Williams
Gordon Moore, w. C. ", Kuehner,
Dean Davis and Miss Mary Fortney.

No Extra Money for Sewer

The claim of B J. Schultz, fors.s300
for extra work done on main sewer
No. 3 in the excavation Of rock, was
rejected at Tuesdays commissioners
meeting.
Mr., Schultz took the contract at so
much per lineal foot, but claims that
there was more rock to be excavated
than he expected or than the profile
of the estimate o. the city engineer
showed. Mr.. Pratt, the city engineer
then submitted a commune alton in
which he states that all contractors
according to the contract are expected
to make their own sounding for rock
and that he had made simply for his
own use, not that cf any one who
bid on the sewer contract.
Work has not been progressing
very rapidly on the sewer ately.
After discussing the subject, Johnson
made the mott N, seconded by Sans
that Stephen Schultz, B. j. Schultz
and their bondsmen be n1tified at
the lack of work done and to COM
mence work on the sewer again with
at least 10 men, within so days, other
wise the Mayor would be instructed
to declare the contract forfeited and
the city would finish the sewer and
charge up the expense to contractor
or bondsmen.
Tuesday claim for amage.caused
by dynamite was presented ifor $IO.75
against the sewer by Abraham Cox
and it was moved that,the fifteen per
cent retainer should not be paid until
all damages were settled The con-
tract holds the city blameless in all
cases of damage resulting from sewer
construction.

Variety Is the
Spice Of Life
Theirs Nothing Like a Change
Of Weather to Change
Peoples Opinions.

Those who have been standing
around on the street corners fol-
the past week saying how very
warm it was and how the weather
was mighty fine but then it is not
good for fall business you know and
we certainly do need rain and a
spell of good cool weather.
When the mercury began to
chase itself Monday down the Their
mometer and the north wind blew
disagreeably chilly, few began to
change their opinion slightly and
wish for the warm, pleasant weather
back again. AT this time of last
year another radical change was
made in the temperature. On the
2and of October the minimum
temperature was 20 and the maxi
mum &c, making range OF temp
eralure in twenty four hours 81 de-
grees. 1t is an unusual amount
and accompanied as it was by a
north wind and cloudy sky, must
have been felt as severely as yester-
days abrupt change was.
