BRIDGE SPAN DROPS.
Wind Blew False Work From Under
Brick Yards Structure.

The false work under one span of
the new brick yards bridge, three
miles west of the city, went out last
night during the heavy wind and rain
storm and dropped the span into the
river. The false work went a consid-
cradle distance down stream. The
damage his not been estimated, but
will not be serious.
The span that went out was the last
to have been constructed on the south
end of the bridge, and was supported
with false work until IL could be con-
nected up with the rest of the bridge.
The false work, consisting of wooden
stays and scaffolding, was looseped
by the wind and then was crushed
under the weight of the span it was
supporting, it is said, and went down.
The construction is being done I'M
der contract by the Leavenworth
Bridge company. on whom whatever
loss that may result falls. The county
will not be responsible.
The county engineer, Walter J. Ar
mold, and the county commissioners
had not been notified of the loss of
the span this morning. Work toward
replacing the false work and raising
the span began at once when the
bridge men went to work. 1t may re-
quire several days to put the span
back where it was =

HEART and HOME PROBLE EMS
CBy Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson)


Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 a young
fellow of q, just off the plains. 1 am in
love with three girls. Two of my sweet
hearts are Norwegians and one sis
Greek. 1 amply able to support
family, having a quarter section of land.
My parents are bob dead and so l ask
you for advice.
The Greek girl is handsome and neat
and 1 know she likes me. Her folks own
a large fruit store, but would rather she
would marry a Greek. 1 am very fond
of the Norwegian girl but she is shiftless
and slouchy. Would it be proper for me
to ask her to dress more neatly?
The third girl is about five years my
senior. She's a good worker and am
bitious-just the girl for the farm But
she likes another fellow and if she took
me 1 would be afraid she would be mar
rying me for my farm.
Is it healthy to take anti-fat?
ANXIOUS
Why not wait and look around little
more? You are still quite young. / m
afraid that of these girls would
really suit. Besides, you vii make a bet
ter husband if you wait few years and
know a little more about women-good
women, 1 mean. Make friends among

Charged with excessive drunkenness
and, through it, failure to support and
provide for his children, Charles Morris is
being given a hearing today before Pro-
bate Judge Hugh MacFarland. The de
PENDANT has six little tots and a wife who
are dependent upon him, it is said, and he
is accused of spending his money for
strong liquors and failing to provide the
common necessities for his family.

terested. Other suitab things would
be a fountain pen, an ArtsCrafts
leather fob, bill holder, cuff links,
etc.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am young
man of IS. 1 am in love with two girls
one is rich; the other is poor but she
has a fine education and is the best
looking. Which shall l decide upon?
JIMMIE.
How much money have you, Jimmie?
Have you got steady job? Can you
support a wife? Are you willing to
settle down and be a good husband
and walk the floor nights when the
baby is teething? Do you know how
to be kind and helpful to a woman,
whether she is sick or We'll? Are you
willing to give up all other girls. for
just one girl, all the rest of your life?
If you're not, my boy, you'd better
wait a few years before deciding upon
any girl. Also, make up your mind
that any girl who says she loves you,
now, is either awfully silly or she's
telling you an awful big lie.
