Men employed by the street depart
ment returned to work on the excava-

morning. This work was stopped sew
eral weeks ago by the stormy weather
and snow. 1t is believed that it will
| be completed in a week or ten days.
! Peach Crop Injured.
| Men in the vicinity of North Topeka
announce that the peach crop has been
killed but believe that all other fruit
has escaped injury. They believe that
the peach buds were killed during one
of the cold weather periods about Feb
| ruary l. The buds were swelled at that
time and the temperature, which was
| below zero, was sufficient to blight
| them. A good crop of all other kinds
| of fruit is expected unless they are
| killed later.
