AUTO HITS CHILD NORTH SIDE NEWS
Six Year-OId Darts in Front of
Machine From Behind Wagon.
Head Struck, Shoulder Broken
May Not Live.

The 6-year-old daughter of Frank
.Farher, 404 Larch street, was struck
by an auto truck owned by Frank
Cope and driven by Girls Neal, late
yesterday afternoon, near the corner
of First and Branner streets Her
shoulder was broken, hand was
crushed and a blow on the head rem
dered the child unconscious.
She was taken to her home and
DR.. G. B. Van Horn was called. Re
covery is doubtful.
Sheriff Kiene has made an inVes-
tigation of the accident and is salts
fed that it is one of those in which
apparently no one is to blame.
The little girl and brother were
swinging on the end of delivery
wagon, when an automobile ap-
preached from the rear, and being
close to the wagon, the little girl be-
came frightened and dropped off ana
lodged out from behind the wagon
and from in front of the automoblle.
Just as she did so the auto truck,
coming. in an opposite direction,
struck her. AS the child darted out
from behind the wagon, there was
no opportunity for Neal, driving the
truck, to see her until too late he
did everything he could to render as
sistance to the injured child, and per
sons who saw the accident hold MN
entirely blameless.
Frank Farher. father OF the NIUE
Girl. is a machinist employed at the
Santa E'e shops.

LOTS OF SICKNESS.
But People Themselves to Blame, Not
the Heat.

There is a good deal more sickness in
Topeka just now than there has been for
quite awhile, according to local physi-
clans The not weather, of course, is
blamed for the condition. But the hot
weather alone is not responsible, the
physicians declare. Most of the sickness
Is due to dissipation in eating. and drink
much to eat, particularly 100 mucn
heat producing food, and too many ice
cold drinks, ale held responsible. At an
other time of the year with the tempera-
ture well down the heat producing FOODS
are needed, and at that time of the year
there is no temptation to drink ice cold
stuff of various Kinds. So it is the COM
binatIOn of hot weather with excessive in
diligence in food and cold drinks that IS
causing the trouble.
Most OF the sickness is indigestion and
attending ills. The stomach cannot stand
repeated doses of ice cold drinks, par
ticuIarIy when many of the drinks in
themselves none too healthful. Neither
can it stand the burden of excessive feed
ing when the human machine is fighting
to its capacity to keep down its heat, and
producing food at such a time is worse
Jnan waste-it adds an additional burden
the system to dispose of it without
raising the temperature of the body.
he amount of sickness in the city is
very real The fact that people are to
blame for the major part of it by excess
siVe eating and drinking does not lessen
the amount of illness. But it is keeping
the physicians busy for the time being,
cooler weather will permit those who will
not be careful of their eating. and drink
ing to eat with impunity what Is now
causing so much trouble.

BEWARE OF WELLS.
Sanitary Sergeant Says They Are in
Bad Condition.

beware OIL Wells
With the water low just now, and
the danger that surface water will
flow in with the first rain, the wells
in the city are believed to be in bad
condition, and most of them proba bly,
are not fit to be used for domestic
purposes.
This is the warning that is being
sent out by Sanitary Sergeant J. A
Ramsey.
One danger lies in the fact that fis-
sures in the earth, occasioned by the
persistent dry weather, would allow
surface water to enter the wells with
the first rain and carry with it all the
accumulated impurities on the ground,
according to Ramsey.
L turned hose into one of those
assures last night Ramsey said. Il
let the water run until I was tired of
show any signs of doing so. l don't
1 know the fissure must have been
pretty deep
At low water. and especially in the
summer time, the water in most wells
is none too good at the best. Com
missioner Porter is picking up sam
pies from a number of wells to send
to Lawrence for tests by the univer-
sity of Kansas. One sample smells so
badly he has to keep it closely stopped
or it would drive everybody out of
his office.
Beware the wells. 1t might mean
typhoid fever at least to use water
from many of them at this time of
the year.

result is that each takes its turn and the
important message is apt to be delayed
for several minutes. If the circumstances
were such that we could expect this rush

1t will be utterly impossible for the fire

to Chief Wilmarth. The department line
has to be kept open for department bust

Mayor Cofran believes the telephone
company ought to furnish the informal
ton. and urges that it is paid for the
service it renders. and paid well for it
But it is argued that most of the calls
come from people who have no business
knowing where the fire is-only idle
curiosity-and that many inquirers are
children. Thus the telephone officials feel
justified in denying the information hith-
ertO furnished.

WATER IS SCARCE
Rock Island Hauling Big Daily
Supply Topeka to Horton.
Necessary to Operate Shops by
Water From KaW River.

A train of 20 tank cars carrying
10000 gallons of water, left the To-
peka yards of the Rock Island Lines
today for Horton. Five days of the
week this train load of water from the
Kaw river is rushed to Horton, SO
miles distant. for the purpose of oper-
ating the boilers in the shops at that
point. The drouth suffered in the town
supported by the Rock Island shops
has given rise to the old rumOr that
the Rock Island is considering moving
the repair plant to Topeka.
The Rock Island has been sending
this train of water to the shops ever
since the drouth opened up some time
ago. No relief is in sight and the road
at a considerable cost is finding it
necessary to keep water moving to
their Kansas shop headquarters. For
years the water situation at Horton
has vexed the officials of the road
Last year with additional wells and a
promised water supply it was thought
that the problem was solved. But the
road has found it difficult to procure
enough water to keep the locomotives
