On ll,e War Path.

Thieves and swindlers Of all denomina-
tions are abroad and on the war path now,
a nd II behooves the unwary metropolitan to
be on the lookout for the same. Yesterday
afternoon two Of these ught-fingered gentry
succeeded in roping in an unsophistica;ed
countryman al the New Market on brace
game of their own peculiar invention, and
relieved him of $50 in less time than it takes
to tell it. He had been previously warned in
regard TO the tricks and wiles Of these sharp
ers, but preferring 10 fnstI uct himself in the
school of experience instead of listening to
the advice of friends. he came out OF the 1T
tie end of the horn, and will probably know
more next time.

Death Of a Child who Was injured
on The Cars Last Teusday.
Topeka Commonwealth, oil


The death of Bessie, the child of Mr.. ".
whitton is sad affair, viewed in any light.
The circumstances, as We get them from the
friends of the family are about as follows:
Mrs. Whitton and her two children were ON
a freight train, with a passenger coach at
tached, coming from the south At Pauline,
knowing that the freight trains often stop
ped a long time at Eighth street, in Topeka,
Mrs. whitton asked the conductor If She
could get off there. He answered, "Yess,
probably ~ or" I think So" When the train
stopped at Eight street the conductor told her
she could get OF. She took the youngest.
child in her arms, and the Oldest, the injured
by the hand. Mrs, whitton had got Off the
platform, and was about TO assist the child
of, when the engine backed up, jarring the
cars, and throwing the child down under
them. The conductor remarked, as the en-
gine came back, "My God, why is that en-
glne coming back, !" or words TO that effect.
From the INJURIES received the child died at
ii a. m. yesterday. We are not disposed to
blame anyone, but only state the facts rs re-
ported to US, and would suggest that If pas
seugers are carried on freight trains there
should be rules governing the train similar,
rs near as might be, TO those in running pas
senger trains.

We understand the Board of Education has
concluded TO close the public schools next

and IL there is any way to avoid closing the
schools, measures should be taken at once, to
accomplish so desirable a result. Better keep
the schoolssopen two months longer now,
then open them later in The fall. Children
learn much faster during the spring months
than they do in the early fall, when the
weather is intolerably hot. Don't close the

found at Lake Como. Tae coroner
proceeded to the lake, and found a
box thirty inches in length containing
the skeleton Of man, one of the
bones having a bullet hole through it.
The affair created considerable ex-
element. The skeleton was carefully
conveyed to st. Paul, after which DR..
Murphy appeared on the scene and as

skeleton was that of Charley Pitts, one
Of the Mortified robbers. Pitts had
been dissected by some young medical

The railroad companies having lines
leading into St. Paul have united in
organizing company to build grand
union depot worth half million doll
lars, in that city. The Pioneer Press
says:
Though no plans have been made
public by which the dimensions and
character of this splendid structure
can be seen, it has been agreed that
it shall be Of the highest and most
imposing style of architecture that it
shall have frontage of 16o feet on
Sib]ey street, with roadway forty
feet in width along the north side, for
the convenience of passengers in arriv>
ing and departing from the trains.
The building will have separate tracks
for nine different railroads, the access
TO eacn TO De so arranged that the
utmost comfort to the travelling public
will be attained, and SO simpli6ed
that passengers will never be liable to
get upon the wrong train. All the
modern improvements will be made
use of to make the great ST. Paul Union
Passenger Depot a model institution
Of its kind, while its proportions will,
