A FAMOUS LAWSUIT.

The town of Bidwell, up in the New

had been founded just 40 years when
its first real sensation came. One day
Deacon Goodhue borrowed Deacon
Hardman's garden hoe, and after US
ing it a few minutes he broke it off
at the shank. While he contended
that it was old and rusty and ready
to break, he offered to buy a new one
to replace it. Much to his surprise, he
was allowed to do so, and he went
home to say to his wife:

morning Deacon Goodhue set out to
drive five hogs over to the weighing
scales. He had to pass the other
deacon's house, and as he came along
the gate was open and all hogs made
a rush for it. He was trying to drive
them out of Deacon Hardman's yard
when the latter came out and said

William F. McCombs, Edward E.

leaders.
The governor has made up his
mind, he said, as to whom he will Sc

make no announcement of his choice
except to the committee. Callers con-
unued to flock to the little white
house" today. Edward F. Goltra, ma
tional committeeman from Missouri,
came over from Spring Lake with
Colonel Ewing and Representative
BrouSSard of Louisiana.
Senators Watson and Chiffon had APP
pointments to call and the usual num-
Der of Democrat leaders is expected.
AS soon as it can be arranged Governor
wilson expects to meet and consult
with his running mate, Governor Mar

Col. Ewing said he had stopped by

Col Ewing said he believed it UouIo
be advisable to appoint a small cam

PAVING CAUSED DELAY
Asylum and West Eighth Avenue Car
Service Delays Thus Explained.

Numerous complaints are being made
relative to street car service in Topeka
particularly in respect to the Potwin-
West Eighth and Asylum South To-
peka lines. A delegation of eight per-
sons called at the State Journal office
and com planned that West Eighth
street car was held up near the trans
Ter station for a half hour.
City Superintendent Howard Patten
explained today that the reason that
tic service is not ideal at present on
the lines mentioned is because the COM
pany is paving from Horn to Willow
streets in Potwin. This necessitates
running double-end cars as far as Pot
vim. Passengers going to the Asylum
ind it necessary to transfer to another
car which runs from the Asylum to
Potwin. This, according to Superiu-
tCndent Patten, makes it practically
impossible to run the cars on schedule
time. The paving will be completed by
next week, Saturday.
superintendent Patten denied the as
sertion that cars are not running ac-
cording to schedule on other lines.
Nevertheless. for a year past, -eitizens
have complained to the State Journal
with regularity about the irreguIarity
of the service to and from certain parts
of the city.
