RAILWAY BRIDGES.

Many epsns Become Obsolete Bseauss
Of Traffic Demanda.
Railroad bridges do not get q chance
to rust and wear out. The rapid evo.
luton of railway engineering has made
them obsolete long before they cease
to be s~erviceable.
In the last Eve years many railway
bridges built less than twenty-five
years ago have been removed and re-
placed BY much heavier bridges. This
strengthening process was only one
step In q long series. Ever since the
early days Of railway bridges the con-
tinually increasing weight Of locomO-
tives and trains made bridges obsolete
long before they rusted or wore out
The history Of railway bridges has
been a record Of evolution from light
to continually hea vier bridges. At va
riOus times in this evolution bridge en-
gineers decided that the weight OF
trains then In . was substantially
the maximum that could eve be ex-
pected on III railways. The event prov.

The Stevens Price Standardization

We have before us a copy of this
bill which provides that manufactur-
ers. producers and growers of mer-
chandise not manufactured, shall have
the right to prescribe fixed prices at
which the goods shall be sold. The
manufacturer does not have a monop-
oily nor can he be party to agree
ment or combination forbidden by the
antitrust laws and he must affix to
each package notice bearing his
trade mark, his name and address and
the price to the consumer. In addition
he must file at Washington, a sched-
ule of prices for these goods both
wholesale and retail and If he chang
es prices, new schedule must be fled
Dealers are prohibited from selling
the goods at less than the fixed price
unless they are going out of business,

one receiving the best grades in the
Senior Glass OF the High School we
think that there was no one but what
was honestly glad. Elmer is one of our
best young men, not afraid to do an
honest days work whether it be in the
school room, on the farm or in any
other line. A young man who will do
his best to attain those things only to
be gained by. a Higher Education, a
young man who will reflect credit on
Sedgwick County and it's schools as he
goes out to take advanced work in our
colleges. We congratulate Sedgwick
County High in having such a repre-
sentative and we congratulate Mr..

High School Board Elects Teachers

High School Beard Elects Teachers
At meeting of the new High School
Board on last Saturday the following
were elected as teachers for the COM
ing year:
Principal Prof Young, Miss Snare
and Miss Eismann being retained on
the faculty and Mrs. Reed on half
time the same as the past year. This
completes the faculty except the posi-
tion of Prof Bolinger who would not
return for the coming year having a
more lucrative position offered him
and his place will be filled later.
1t is with regret that Prof Bolinger
will not be here next year for he has
proven himself an efficient and faith
full teacher and it is very gratifying to
know that the other members of the
faculty will remain the same and that
we can look forward to another sue
cessful year for our High School.
All will be glad to know that Mr..
Bower was retained as janitor as his
work in this position has been be-

become bankrupt or the goods have
become damaged or deteriorated and
in such case, the dealer must first Of
fer the goods to the manufacturer at
cost price before he shall have the
right to sell same at cut price.
1t occurs to us that this bill would
have the effect of keeping dealers
from offering standardized goods at
less prices than his competitors and
would in this manner, keep merchants
from cutting prices and thereby inter-
fere with the trade of reputable con-
Germs. And we believe this would be
the means of keeping disreputable
merchants from establishing a credit,
ordering as large a stock of goods as
possible, realizing all the cash possible
and going into bankruptcy. The bill
looks good to us and we believe same
should be passed by our National
Legislature.

Young Man Passes Away

1t is with extreme regret that we re-
cord the death of Roy Bossart on last
Friday morning of tuberculosis at his
home in Julesburg
Mr.. Bossart came to Julesburg the
first of last November from Wilkens-
burg, Pa, and although he had only
lived in Julesburg a little over five
months he had made many friends who
sincerely mourn his demise. His moth
er Mrs. Margaret Bossart came here
short time ago and established home
for herself and her son and these two
with that infinite bond between mother
and son were living with the hope and
expectation that the change in climate
would add many years to his life but
the Grim Reaper came aud took the
"nnng man Just as he was about t
step over the line into manhood.
Mr.. Bossart would have been twenty
one years old in September and was
most exemplary young man, member
of the Presbyterian church and a
young man full of promise to himself
his mother and to any community in
which lie might live.
His body was prepared for burial
and shipped to his old home at VIII
kensburg, Pa, on Sunday morning ac-
companied by his heart-broken moth
er. The funeral was held at Wilkens-
burg on Tuesday evening Of this week
and the body taken to Youngstown,
Pa, for interment where his father
who died some Is years ago was bur-
led.
Death coming at any time is shock
but when it comes to those who are
just about to become active and use
full 1t always seems harder to bear
and it is with the most sincere SYM
pathy for Mrs. Bossart and the many
friends of the young man both here
and at his old home that this notice is
