he encountered a wet place due to
leak from a water main. His horse
fell and broke his wagon. Newland re-
ported no liability on the part of the
city, declaring he has found no water
main exists in the alley.
No effort will be made to have the
freight tracks of the Topeka Railway
company on Jackson street placed at
one side of the street to avoid being
directly over the city'S water main, ac-
cording to a decision of the city COM
mission this morning. In a report filed
by Jesse Shaw some time ago it was
suggested that the presence of the
track Immediately over the main would
make it hard to reach the main in case
of necessity and also might jar the
main and cause leaks and damage. The
commission this morning decided the
new situation will be better than it was
when two tracks so close together that
workmen could not get down between
them were laid along the street

REFUSAL IN DISGUISE.
Printing Plant Bridge" Held Up in
Word Only.

Permission to build a bridge over
the alley between the new addition to
the state printing plant and the pres
ent building was refused at the meet
ing of the city commission. But
while the city has no authority to
grant the permission, it probably will
not make any serious objection TO
the building. 1t is planned to build
heavy fire walls on both sides of the
alley and connect on the bridge with
heavy fire DOORS thus amply protect
ing both the states property and the
adjacent property from fire.
1t was evident from the interview
between the commission and State
Architect c. H. Chandler that the
bridge will be built unless an injunc-
ton is secured. and nobody believed
that an injunction would be granted.
Such an action is likely to be started,
however, c. P. Bolmar declaring that
his property will be damaged by the
erection of the bridge.
During the interview the construc-
ton of the Crosby Brothers bridge
connecting the Kansas avenue and
Jackson street buildings was queS-
toned as also was the construction of
the bridge connecting the Warren NJ.
Crosby buildings. In neither case, it
is charged, were fire walls erected to
cut off the bridge, both being open
for the full width of the bridge.
Chief George o. Wilmarth of the
fire department, when called upon for
an explanation, declared that he re-
fused permission in both cases. but
that permission was secured from the
mayor over his head.
Work on the addition to the state
printing plant will be continued as
called for in the plans. The city also
refused to vacate the alley between
the present plant and the new addi-
ton. there being a sewer in the alley
over which the city wants to keep
jurisdiction, and being objection from

MILK COST HIGHER
Dry Weather Will Boost Prices
This Winter.
Charge Now Ranges From s to
10 Cents Quart.
LACK OF WATER is SERIOUS
Many Dairymen Haul Cows
Drink for Miles.
Cost of Feed Will Nearly Be
Doubled Soon.

Will the price of milk be increased
this winter?
This is the question that has been
puzzling many Topekans lately, and
they have good reason to worry. On
account of the poor corn crop this
year and the lack of good grazing
grounds, it will make it a serious
proposition to furnish milk at the
same rate as usual. When the silage
runs out this fall there will be moth
ing for the milk COWS except grain,
shipped in at a high price. This will
probably increase the cost to the con-
sumner as we'll as to the dairymen.
1t is the opinion of many parties
that the price will be advanced
Immediately on account of the lack of
water on many dairy farms. A few
OF the milk dealers are selling their
milk at 10 cents a quart, some at 9
cents and greater number at 8 cents.
Milk for less than cents a quart can
not be found in Topeka and the ten
dency is to sell the best milk for 10
cents and the remainder at cents.
j. F. Haskell, president of the Con-
unental Creamery company, said this
morning that the price may be raised
but that he did not think that there
was any danger for some time. He
said he did not know what the price
would be this winter.
L do not think it possible to keep
the price of milk this winter as low
as it is now" one dairyman said this
morning. I'VE will have to pay nearly
double for food for the cows. How
ever, I do not believe that there will
be great advance
The milk that sold for 5 cents a
quart five years ago now sells for s.
II the increase continues at that rate
milk will not be a necessity but lux
ury. Every winter in the past the
ceding summer and now it may soar
up to high figure.
When the dairymen have to have
fodder shipped in from other states,
they will have to make up for it by a
corresponding increase of the price
of milk. tickets. In Kansas City the
price of milk has been advanced one
cent a quart and many people are
expecting the same in Topeka within a
short time
The only answer to the milk ques-
ton concerning the increase, is to
wait patiently until the silos are
empty

HUTCHINSON NOT FAIR
Newspaper Publishes Ridiculous In
terview About Topeka State Fair.

The state fair managers in Topeka
were surprised a few years ago at the
ridiculous articles appearing in the
newspaper of Hutchinson, concerning
the smallpox epidemic in Topeka and
warning kansans of the danger from
the contagion" at the fair that fall.
This season the management is equal
ly disgusted and surprised at the con-
tinued efforts of the newspapers in
Hutchinson to print belittling stories
of the big exposition in Topeka. The
Hutchinson News of yesterday prints
an interview from a Homer Myers of
that city quoting him to the effect
that the Topeka fair is a disappoint-
ment, that only 500 paid admissions
We're taken on the Topeka grounds
Monday and Tuesday and that there is
dissa tisfaction over the show in gen
eral.
The absurdity of the alleged inter-
view, the ludicrous and false state
ments contained therein and the fee
bleness of facts quoted will tend only
to place the Hutchinson newspapers in
a light of scorn by the many thou
sands of Kansans who have visited and
enjoyed the exposition in Topeka.
On Topeka Day the grandstand was
packed and could not accommodate
the crowd, which was obliged to over
flow on the railing and on the bleach
ers.
The Hutchinson stories are in great
contrast to an article appearing in the
Atchison Globe last night and written
by Z. w. Howe, who visited the To-
peka fair Tuesday. Mr.. Howe says:
AT the Topeka State Fair yesterday
Marshall's band of so men gave two
concerts. ]. w. Keller, formerly of
Atchison was the first cornet player.
He is working at the saddlery busi-
ness in Topeka, as he here. The
state fair is excellent. The live stock
exhibits are probably the best ever
seen in the west. The best live stock
on exhibition comes from Kansas.
There are two immense pavillions de-
voted to cattle and horses. and no live
be equal to the Topeka show. In ad-
dition, there is good racing, and the
thousand and one other things that
go to make up d good fair. Pain S
fireworks at night are wonderful. A
great many carloads of scenery are
used to build up a street in the City
of Mexico, and 200 persons are employ
ed in the spectacle. One of the spec
ial scenes represents Theodore Roose-
Welt on his hunting trip in Africa. Ev-
erything is shown in fire. including
trees. An elephant, giraffe, lion, etc,
are shown, and Roosevelt shoots them.
Ycu will be surprised that such d thing
can be done in fireworks. Why should
not Atchison people attend the Topeka
fair. instead of going to Kansas City
to be amused The Topeka people
make a point of being polite to visi-
