A word to the wise is sufficient. but
people crazed with greed for money
must have their warnings emphasized.
Men have been warned frequently
against haste IN the construction of
buildings and now all that has been said
is strikingly emphasized by the recent
catastrophe in New. York. The article in
the NEWS of the 14th has been followed
by similar one in the Kansas City
Times. Let the public press continue to
speak in this line until every building
on the continent is made substantial.

PreIIer's Inquest.


ST. LOUIS, April 1s.-Coronef Mldelet
this morning began the inquest on the
body of q. Arthur Preller, the victim OF
the Southern hotel tragedy. A. L. Hunt,
cashier at the Southern hotel, was the
first witness. He Identified the photo
graph of Preller as the man who regis
tered at the hotel, and told of the ar
rival of Preller and Maxwell.
He did not recollect of Maxwell
mentioning the expected arrival
of Preller. When Maxwell paid his
first weeks bill April 9th he did not
speak of leaving. A. D. Aloe, the opti-
clan, the next witness, testified that two
weeks ago two gentlemen came to his
store and the smaller one of the two
wished to sell him some magic lanterns,
which he said were at his hotel.
Later in the day he caIed
again and said the trunk
containing the Lanterns had not arrived.
The witness had seen two photographs
supposed to be of Preller and Maxwell.
The man believed to be Maxwell did the
talking. The following Monday the
man who wished to sell the lanterns
again called and purchased field glass,
spectacles and other things. When
questioned about the arrival of
the trunk, he passed the matter light
". He had a roll of bills at this time
and rendered In payment of his pur-
chases q hundred dollar note. James
johnson, salesman in Aloe's store, recog.
nized the pictures of Maxwell and Prel-
Ter and then gave substantially the same
testimony as that given by Mr.. Aloe.

Atchison Champion: We notice that
some of the advocates of the present
system of friItering away the state school
lands acknowledge that there is an agita
ton IN favor of the preservation of the
interest Of the state. 1t Is to be hoped
that the people OF kansas will realize
before long that property belonging to
them, and worth $4,000, 600, ought not to
be sold for $4,000, 600, and they them
selves taxed to make up the difference.
At present when Kansas town
wishes to keep up high
school. ostensibly part OF
the free school system, the patrons are
obliged to pay tuition fee. 1t would
certainly be well tn establish a state
school fund sufficient TO pay the ex
penses of public education, outside Of

out working any hardship, unless max
the purchaser of school land pay for ii
what the land is worth, is To b. consid-
cred as hardship.
