STORE, Kansas City, Kansas. MeCLURE'S MAGAZINE FOR THE COMING YEAR. Botch Work. There is a time in the history of all cities when thousands of dollars and endless litigation can be saved by the employment of competent men in the engineer's office." That time is when grades are being established, strpets are being graded and paved and when permanent sidewalks and sewers are being built. For the past fifteen years this city has been doing and is still continuing to do a large amount of this class of work, yet in all this time there has never been a competent engineer, a man who thoroughly understood the details of the business, in the employ of the city.

For instance, in establishing the grade on a street running north and south, not one of them has been competent to determine the benefits or disadvantages such grade would confer on the lateral streets intersecting it. The mistakes and blunders of the engineer's department since the city began making extensive improvements has cost the taxpayers more than it would have cost the city to pay first-class salaries to competent men. One or two illustrations will demonstrate the truth of the above statement. Several years ago a brick sewer was built to carry surface water to theKaw river. The sewer was all right when the river was low but when it raised to the mouth of the sewer the water from the river flowed out at the other end and flooded acres of.

the town. Another and later example. In paving Splitlog avenue it was found when one one of the blocks was curbed and paved that the paving was six feet wider at one end of the block thau it was at the other end. Still another and later blunder. In paving Minnesota avenue the curbing is turned so as to pave Eighth street GO feet wide while the curbing is turned at Armstrong avenue for a street 30 feet wide, then at Ann avenue it is again turned for a 60-foot street.

He married a Miss Metz, of Tonganoxie, about 3 years ago, who together with one child survive him. He was a member of Delaware Lodge of Masons and belonged to the Royal Arch Chapter and Knights Templar of this city. He was a farmer by occupation and was highly esteemed and respected by his neighbors.

He was twice elected to the office of trustee of Quindaro towuship, discharg ing the duties of his trust efficiently and satisfactorily. We have known him since he was a mere child and as. a boy and man always found him to be honorable and trustworthy. He was kind hearted and generous to a fault. In his death his family has sustained an irre-pairable loss, the lodges to which he belonged a devoted member, the com munity in which he resided a good neighbor and considerate friend, and the community at large a good citizen.

After a lengthy controversy with Assistant Attorney-General Snelliug, Samuel R.

While the controversy was going on between Mr. MacLeau and the Assistant Attorney- General over the charter the war tax came along aud under its provisions it will take fo.ooo worth of revenue stamps for the 00,000 shares of stock the company proposes to issue and MacLean wants the State to furnish the stamps.

Wheu he went home to dinner last Friday he as greatly worried on observing that the despised maple worms were beginning an assault on the foliage thereof. He went into diuner aud while eating a brilliant idea for getting rid of them flashed across his mind, so when he concluded his meal he went out into the yard and called his son, a lad of 10 years, out and addressed him as follows: "Homer, it won't do to have the leaves eateu off these trees. Now I'll tell you what I'll do.

If you'll go to work and catch those worms I'll pay you a-peauf apie for thorn. I know it isn't very much, but. if you'll stick right at it I believe you can make enough to take you to the Wild West Show." Young Homer was elated with the idea of getting to see Colonel Cody's Rough Riders and set to work diligently at capturing the worms and the Auditor returned to his office. When he returned home in the evening Homer demanded a count and a settlement which netted him $2.65. After the settlement was made and the money paid over the Auditor said, "My son, you needn't go to the trouble of catching any.

Reunion, 1898. Committees in charge of the Kansas State G. A. R. Reunion aud Topeka Fall Festival are hard at work preparing entertainment for the old soldiers and others who attend the festivities at To peka this fall.

Beginning Monday, September 26, the reunion and festival will continue the entire week. In preparing for this year's entertainment no effort will be spared to make it the grandest event of the kind ever held iu Kansas. The first four days of the week will be devoted to the G. A. R.

Reunion. Much work aas already been done and several hundred dollars expended in preparing camping grounds. The old soldiers who go to Topeka this fall are promised the privilege of camping on the finest campgrounds in the West. Two days and two evenings will be devoted exclusively to the Festival and Karnival. The flower parade, which now promises to excel all previous ones, will occur on Friday, the 30tb.

Friday will also be Fraternal day, and Friday eveuing will be Karnival night. Handsome colored bills advertising the re- union and festival are now going np all over the State. THE S. S. McCLURE 200 East 25th ITew York LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER-8, 1898. The Republicans have erected a great big two ring tent on Huron Place in which to hold campaign meetings. The cool, cloudy weather that put in an appearance Tuesday came as a forcible reminder that the fall of the year is rapidly approaching and winter will soon be here. The September term of the Common PleasCourt convened oa Monday. When the court was called to order Judge Holt immediately adjourned it until tb following morning on account of its being a holiday.

Mrs. A. E. McKt-nzie, 653 Washington' avenue, has gone to Illinois to visit her father's family and other relatives. She expects to be absent two or three weeks and possibly longer.

In the meantime Mack will while away the time as best he can. Mr. and Mrs. James Claton, G24 Tau-romee avenue, returned Friday last from a two months' visit with relatives in Iowa. Mr.

and Mrs. Claton have been married for more than half a century and are entitled to enjoy the shady side of life wfiich they appear to be doing. A wild Texas steer created consternation at the Stock Exchange Saturday morning by a mad rush through the lobby of the building.

who was to speak, failed to appear on account of sicklies. A big thunder storm passed over the city Monday night. There was a fine display of electricity and one or two deafening peals of thunder. The rain fell in torrents and the atmosphere, which had been of a toirid nature, was greatly the mercury dropping more than 20 during the night. The rain will keep the fall pasturage growing and put the ground in exceilent eondi for plowing and planting.

New York. Thomas B. Dailey, postmaster at the South Side Station and for some years, eu gaged in the mercantile business and who has met with financial losses, was taken before Judge Herr on Tuesday or the purpose of inquiring iuto his mental condition.

After talking with him the Judge concluded that his mind was all I 4- i i i ou mat ne nan uuu coiiui i ion physically and all he required was care and attention. His condition is the result of a too free indulgence in intoxicants. Jerry Simpson, Congressman from the big Seventh district, spoke iu the Populist tent at Huron Place Saturday night last. The teut was tilled with people and Jerry made a good talk from a Populist standpoint. He ami uuced himselt as being in favor of enlarging the navy in order to hold the territory recently acquired from the Spanish.

While we do uot endorse all he said we are free to admit that he made very fair statements oi the different subjects handled in bis speech. Nora Moore, a little 9-year-old girl living at Eighth street aud Miami avenue, was burued so badly by an explosion of coal oil about 7 o'clock on Friday evening that she died two hours later. The accident occurred while she was attempting to start a. fire in the cook stove. Some embers slumbered in the fire box aud she poured some coal oil on them to start up the fire when the oil ignited flashed up to the cau aud an explosion followed, igniting her clothes and literally cooking her flesh.

Labor, day was observed in this city by the closing of the post office, banks, city and county offices, packing houses and many business institutions and bouses. A parade, made up largely of pplicemen, officials, lire companies, letter carriers, labor unions, politicians and demagogues marched through the princi pal streets out to Kerr's Park. There may have been some laboring men in the parade, but if there were we did not recognize them. The procession was thirteen minutes and thirty seconds pass ing a given point. At Tenth street it was caught in a rain storm and many of the participants broke ranks and sought shelter.

A granotoid walk is to be built on the south side of Minnesota avenue from the Portsmouth building to the west side of Huron Place. A portion of this walk will have to be paid by the Portsmouth Investment Company and about two hundred feet by the old Indian cemetery The part to be taxed up against the cemetery will amount to about SToo.oo. Noqe of the parties interested iu the cemetery, that we know of, are in finan cial condition' to pay this sum. If it is old to pay the. tax what will the purchaser get? The monuments and tombstones are the personal property of private individuals and are certainly in nowise liable for the payment of side walk taxes.

During the lifetime of the B- M. Northrop be looked after the cemetery, payiug the special tixes and keeping it in repair, but now that he is gone there is no one apparently to discbarge these obligations. from which he expects to realize a much larger sum. He raised his melons as a sort of side line to his other crops. Who was it that said there was no money in farming? It must have been one of that class of men who farms- with his mouth iustead of with plow and hoe.

A farewell reception was tendered the. Rev. and Mrs. W. H.

Corner, at the Seventh Street Methodist Church, on Monday eveuing and they will leave this week for their new field of labor at Atchison. During Brother Comer's Tour years pastorate in this city he made many warm friends who regret his departure and unite in commending him to the good people of Atchison aud in the hope that his pastoracy there may prove both pleasant and profitable. William Miller, a mason by trade, who left here the time of the grasshopper raid in 1875, and went to Salem, Ohio, was here last week on a visit and the probabilities are that he will return here to live in the near future. The changes that have occurred siuce he left astonished him. The improvements liar? been so great that he was surpi 1 in con templating them.

Mauy new faces are on the scene now and iiiy former familiar ones have passed over the river, 8J that everything appeared new to him and entirely different from the days of 1875. The Metropolitan Street Railway Com pany has a large force of men working night and day put ting its track iu shape to use electricity for motive power iu stead of the cable. By a new process the track is converted into a single rail which will enable the cars to glide along smoothly iustead of bumping along over joints every seventy-five feet, one' of which is liable to be half an inch lower than the other. The continuous rail is a decided improvement as it furnishes a smooth even surface for the car wheels and does away with all the bobbing up and down of thenars heretofore experi enced in running over joints. The Populist party erected a one ring tent on Huron Place in which to hold their campaign meetings.

The Republi cans not to be outdone secured a two ing tent and proposed to erect it north of the Populist tent so that the latter could not be seen from Minnesota ave nue. The Populists then moved their tent to the east side of Huron Place and put it. up fronting on Sixth street. A colored evangelist from Savannah, carried on a revival meeting all last week in the Populist teut, thus using it for a much better and more satisfactory purpose than that of trying to bolster up the waning political fortunes of the Populist party in Kansas. The maple worm is denuding the soft maple trees of their foliage.

Heretofore wejiave had but little troublein this city from these pests but this year there appears to be a general attack on soft maples iu all parts of the city. As a shade or ornamental tree it is objectionable on this occouut. Elm, and cottonwood are preferable, being exempt from the ravages of both worms and insects. By boring a hole in soft maple close to the ground, -before the sup begins to flow, filling it with sul phur and plugging up the hole is the only preventative we know of. Our ad vice is not to plant the soft maple.

It is the surest and best way to keep clear of these pests. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Cassidy, who re side near the Quindary cemetery, cele brated the fortieth anuiversary of their marriage on Thursday last, September 1, 1898, at their home. They were married iu the Cathoic Church at the corner of Ninth street and Ann avenue, by the Rev.

Father Fish, who was the pastor of the church at that time, and it is said that their marriage was the first one celebrated in that Their chil dren, grandchildren and a number of old time friends joined in celebrating their fortieth anniversary. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cassidy are in the enjoyment of good health and their many friends join iu the hope that they may be spared to enjoy many returns of their wedding', anniversary. Rev.

who resigned the pastoracy of the First' Presbyterian Church in this city and went east some two months ago, and whose fiock prevailed on the sessious uot to accept his resignation, will not return. At the time of his resignation it was said that he re signed on account of ill health, but since he has been east his mother and father have both been seriously ill and the sessions has accepted his resignation, and all that now remains to sever his connection with the church here is for the presbytery to dissolve his pastoracy. As to who will be his successor we are not advised. Dr. McMillan, of New York, filled the pulpit during the greater part of August and others will supply it until such time as the church may decide on who will fill the bill and then a call will be issued requesting such party to become the pastor.

Hay Fever. Mrs. J. C. Smith, of Aledo, writes: "I have been troubled with Hav Fever and Asthma every fall for twelve or fourteen years, and a cough that goes with it, and nothing has ever done much to relieve me until I took your Dr.

The experiments have gone on quietly, however, and now anyone who wishes to travel to Bournemouth, in England, can see the telegraph system in actual operation at the experimental station established there by Prof. Marconi. The principle of telegraphing across epace without the aid of intervening wires finds an apt illustration in the responsive action of two tuning forks. If we place a couple of tuning forks, which are tuned to exactly the same note, a short distance from one another, and then by drawing a violin bow, or by striking one of them, cause it to sound a note which is another way of saying that we cause it to emit sound the second tuning fork will catch up these vibrations and begin itself to vibrate sympatheticallly. It will give evidence of its vibration by echoing the sound of the first tuning fork.

Within certain limits, and with slight differences in practice, this is the way in which electric waves by being sent by one electric instrument and being received on another transmit first vibrations and thence messages through space. This was a method of signaling which was known and experimented with by Prof-Nikola Tesla, of New York; by Prof. Oliver Lodge, in England; by Dr. Swaby, in Berlin, and by Dr. Brownlees, in France, before Prof.

Marconi who up to a recent period used a Brownlees coherer to aid him in getting distinctness of messages was heard of. Prof. Marconi, however, claims to have been more successful in the practical transmission of messages than any of his forerunners. One of the great difficulties in sending messages is, of course, the difficulty of getting instruments sufficiently sensitive to record the Hertzian waves when they are sent. If the two tuning forks, which have been suggested as an illustration of electrical methods, were placed half a mile apart, the instruments which would detect sympathetic vibrations in the receiving tuning fork would have to be extremely sensitive, and some difficulty would be found in distinguishing sympathetic vibrations from those due to extraneous causes.

So it was with the electric tuning forks. Hertzian electric waves, like light waves, or sound waves, do not run in parallel lines straight from the starting point; they radiate in all directions like fragments of a bursting shell. Prof. Nikola Tesla, therefore, suggested some years ago that an electric screen should be added to the apparatus of the receiving station In order to catch as many of the waves as possible. This suggestion Prof.

Marconi has adopted and adapted. In the case of the instrument at Bournemouth, he has supplanted the receivers by the addition of a mast 100 feet high, and from a ring near the top a narrow strip of wire netting runs to the receiving instrument and acts as a collector of the vibrations from Alum bay, where the second station is located. So satisfactory have been the experiments conducted by Prof. Marconi that he is about to extend the distance between his stations, carrying the second one to Cherbourg, 60 miles away. The experiments are at present in a very elementary stage.

It has been found the sound waves travel much faster and better in foggy, rainy or windy weather than when the air Is clear and the weather fine and still. the clever man who can telegraph without wires cannot make weather to order it is r.ecessary to overcome the atmospheric conditions that influence the sj-stem, and Prof. Marconi is bending all his energies to bring'this about. Broadly speaking the success of the experiments is assured, inasmuch as messages are sent and clearly interpreted without the aid of wires. Though much remains to be done, wireless telegraphy will surely be In general use before long, and people who marvel at the idea of sending messages between widely separated points without intervening wires will thenlookupon it as a matter of course, as they, now do the telephone.

A conference whs held last Thursday morning by the County Commissioners, Auditor Berger and McGrew, Watson Watson to see if some compromise could not be effected ou the bill of the latter for legal services rendered them in de-feuding the county in certain suits instituted by parties holding certificates issued byroad commissioners under the Buchan road law. We understand McGrew, Watson Watson refused to take less than that Commissioner Moore said his time would expire in January, but as long as he was Commissioner he would never consent to the payment of any such sura that Commissioner Ander son said he had consulted a great many taxpayers and but few of them were willing to have over allowed that Commissioner Denison was not willing to allow and that Auditor Berger refused to audit the bill in any sum whatever, claiming that it was a matter for a jury to settle and that he had no right to pass upon it; that it was one of that class of cases that if it should go before a court no judge would hear it but would refer it to a jury. The result was the conference adjourned without accomplishing a set tleinent.

McGrew, Watson Watson are undoubtedly entitled to some compensation for their services, but every person we have talked with on the sub ject is outspoken against payment of the amount asked or claimed by them and a number have said to us that they would be williug to pay two or three thousand dollars more than their services were worth rather than enter into litigation.

May 0, A contract has been let for paving Seventh street north from Oakland avenue to I'arallel avenue, with rock asphalt, and the matter of paving the same street south from Oakland to Central avenue is being discussed. When the street was originally paved with cedar blocks the Herald entered a vigorous protest agaiust using cedar blocks and time has fully vindicattd its protest, but that does not matter now. Before the street is repaved we desire to call attention to the fact that the grade of the street should be changed and made to follow nature. "'In our opinion the grade should be lowered at Nebraska avenue and also from Minnesota avenue south to Sandusky avenue. By so doing it will make one of the finest streets in the city and one that the city will be proud of.

By changing the grade as above suggested it will enable a person to stand on Minnesota avenue and see the full length of the street north to Quindaro boulevard or to view the street south to Central avenue. It would add much more to the value of the property thau the cost, of making; the change, and it is bound to be done some day sootier or later and why not do it before the street is repaved? The present grade was established for the accommodation of certain property owners and in violation of the laws of nature. It will neither help nor hurt our property interests and we simply make the suggestion in the interest of the geueral public. NEWS and OPINIONS OF National I. THE SUN ALONE CONTAINS BOTH.
