ABOUT MRS. FULL.


A Statement :FrOR Mayor Eastman in
Regard to Ezsr Case.
EDIrORs News: / noticed in
this mornings Republican an
article rejecting somewhat on
the authorities for placing Mrs. Full
with babe three weeks old in Jail. in
stead of in the Almshouse. In justice to
all concerned I wish to state . few facts.
As is we'll known, before Mrs. Full's
babe was born, she was openly and de-
family engaged in violating the law
against selling intoxicating liquors, not
WiIhstAnding the repeated remOnstranc-
- and warnings Of the officers that they
should have to arrest and prosecute un-
less she desisted. She also dared the
officers to arrest her. Amer her babe
was born she was arrested and convict
cd, but in consideration for her cOndi-
ton and that Of her children abe was not
sent 70 Jail, the sentence being suspend
ed during good behavior. Shortly amer
she came TO me saying she must have
help as abe had no
money and nothing to eat
Il have since heard that she paid her
attorney ten dollars for conducting her
case and offered Mr.. Pfefferle fifty dol
lars, which she showed, if he would go
security for her husbands appearance
at the district court on an appeal of his
case). She stated that her children had
been sick and must have food such rs
she was not able to furnish. requested
her TO take her children ami 90 to the
county house, telling her / would give
her an order for that purpose and assur-
ing her that she and her children should
have good care and all necessary food
and attention and urged her by all
means 10 go. She absolutely refused to
60 saying she would bring her children
leave the stats herself before she would
90 TO the county house, and IL she was
not supported by the county where
che was, and where she claim
ed she had to pay fifteen
dollars . month reat. Out of pity for
her children finally gave her an order
for some -four and little money from
my own pocket to buy such food as she
needed for her children, but which did
not feel justified in buying and charg-
ing to the county.
The cause Of her going to Jail was her
utter refusal TO go to the almshOuse,
to desert her children and
indecent actions, to other women, on the
streets of the city. The same day she
was put in Jail her i've children were
taken to the almshouse. She was not
because the officers did wrong
in coufining her. Yours truly,

KIDNAPPED.
A Case OF Child Stealing Turns Up In Ly-
ON County.

A Case OF Child Stealing Turns Up In Ly-
ON County.
About two months ago mau, accom-
panied 10y his wife aud u little girl about
seven years old. applied to Mr.. T. II.
Williams, of this city, for work on his
sheep ranch ON Phenis creek, about five
miles southwest of Emp 'ria An ar
rangement was made by which the man,
who gave his name as Long, was to pro-
vide himself with n dug-out, and he
forthwith established himself and family
on the farm. The difference between
the appearance and conduct of Long
and his wife and the little girl impressed
Mr.. Williams so strongly that he
confidcd his conviction that the child
had been stolen To his head ten
ant and told him to keep his
eye out tor developments. Long
and his wife were coarse and illiterate,
and extremely harsh with the child,
who, on the other hand, showed some
signs Of early training and possessed .
pretty voice, as WAS shown by her sing
ing of Sunday school hymns when not
under the surveillance of her alleged
parents. In addition sufficient informa-
ton was gathered from the child's talk
TO establish the theory of Mr.. Williams,
who last week communicated the facts
to the authorities of Rice county, where
he discovered the family had come
from, and in day or two the sheriff
came and 'Ook Long aud his wife and
the child back TO Lyons, where the little
girl was restored 10 the county alms

School Notes.

The first term Of the school year closed
on the 10Th inst. The terms examina-
tions showed that there had been some
good work done by the teachers and that
it had not bee n lost A few Of our pu-
pills have so much 10 do with society
that in some cases the examination was
failure, and in consequence they had
to take lower class. The most Of our
pupils are in good healthy condition,
mentally, and the results Of the work
done during the term upon which we
have entered will be alike gratifying to
parents and teachers.
The attendance for the past month
has been very bad on account Of the
measles and small pox scare. Several OF
the patrons are go opposed to vaccina
ton as to withdraw their children rather
than have them vaccinated.
If the people shall see At to give III
room enough to seat our pupils proper
| ly the increased efficiency of our schoo
will pay good interest on the bonds.
Miss Carswcll, who has been out o
school for the past two weeks from tn
effects of rheumatism, is some better
but will not be able to resume her dutie
as teacher for some days. Miss Esdel
is substituted for her.
The following is condensed repOr
of the schools for the month endin
February 10th: Whole number enrolled
1856; average number belonging, S7l
average daily attendance, Sl6; numbe
of tardinesses, $50; halliday absences
1855; neither absent nor tardy, 309
per cent. of those neither absent nor tai
dy, based on the average number bt
longing, 35 per cent; number dropped
24S; number admitted, 1856; number {

oral examination of all the schools til
last of March, at which time the boar
will appoint committees to examine III

Grand Master Cowgirl, in delivering
the annual address before the Grand
Lodge of Masons at Topeka paid the
following tribute to the memory of the
late ]. c. Bennett, who was at one time
a resident of Emporia:
J. c. Bennett, of Wichita Lodge, No.
90, well known in this jurisdiction as
one of our most Jealous Masons, and
who had, for several years been an &C.
tive member of this Grand Lodge, died
in Kansas City, on the I'd of July last.
He went to bed in apparently good
health, and IN the morning was found a
corpse. Brother Bennett was q true
Mason; he believed in Masonry and
lived up to its teachings, as near as he
possibly could. he was cut down in
the prime of life; his death was untime-
ly, and his brethren mourn.

A sGStsnent In Regard to Her From Ars.

A Statement In Regard to Her From Mrs

EDe. NEWS: wish 10 correct few
eFrOrS which appeared in an article in
the Republican Wednesday concern
ing the woman, Mrs. Full, who was con-
fined In Jail and in our care. The
writer seems to reflect great discredit on
the jailer and others for the way she has
been treated. Now what wish is TO

- it stands, that the public may know
the truth concerning the matter. Mrs.
Full occupied the south chamber of the
third story Of the building. which has q
wide south window. She had 9 good

and water, and every other comfort that
any woman Of her class usually has at

Arrangements Completed for the Kin
dergartsn.
The arrangements which have been
pending for some time are finally CON-
pleted and the kindergarten will be
opened at the Normal on the 10th of
April, continuing through term of ten
weeks. But thirty children can be &C

of the required number can be easily Sc

the term. She is lady who is thorough
ly prepared for this work, having re-
ceived her education in Germany and
France, the birthplace of the kindergar-
ten. She has conducted kindergarten

Prof. B. T. Davis has undertaken the
work of establishing this kindergarten

will be something near 1926 for the
term. He is determined to have a first
class kindergarten here regardless of
cost.
