County weighs Lone Star Lake spillway repairs and costs
A Douglas County editorial questions who should pay for fixing Lone Star Lake spillway after a county inspector warned one of three concrete retaining structures is only partly competent. The piece weighs using a 1994 sales tax fund for repairs, public safety, and whether surrounding property owners should share costs.

Wives Host Bridge Luncheon Tie Lawrence Topeka
A group of 52 Du Pont Company wives held a bridge luncheon at Hotel Eldridge with about half from Lawrence families and half from Topeka families, illustrating Lawrence’s large role in the Tecumseh cellophane plant’s operations. The plant site lies between Lawrence and Topeka, though it is regarded as a Topeka facility, and many workers resided in Lawrence for easier access. The note recalls a 1898 Lawrence Journal line about river ice thickness and harvest timing.
