with the exception OF u 81 brass p n,
which l threw away sIortly alter

rageous. What Mrs. Norton has brought
with her is her own individual money

A Prominent Physician at Chanute, Kan,
Shot Down in HIS Office.
CHANUTE, Kan, July 10.-About four
o'clocx yesterday afternoon Dr. L. Bartl,
while sitting in his office talking TO friend,
was without warning or jus'itiable cause
attacked by Charles c. Kramer, who
emptied five chambers OF a revolver at him.
one bail striking him in the right side and
penetrating the abdomen; one going
through the fleshy part of the left shoulder,
and third striking the right ribs and
coming out near tue nipple. The first one
of these shots is supposed TO be
fatal. The cause of the shooting is
said to have been recent scandal
with which the DOCTORS name was
connected, and young Kramer under the
Influence of liquor attempted to avenge the
imagined wrong. Kramer tried 10 escape,
tct was soon put under arrest, aud great
excitement prevails among the citizens.
Kramer, being asked as to the cause
OF the shcoiing, said: Il have moth.
ing to say about the matter now. 1t is
done and can't be helped" Both are mar
ried men and have families, Bartl being a
physician and Kramer formerly in business
here.

THE MOORE-NORTON CASE.
Tho Couple Charged With Adultery I'm
der the State Law.

The Couple Charged with Adultery IN
der the State Law.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 12.-Shortly before
noon to-day Constable Davies served a
warrant, issued from Justice Searle's
court, on complaint of County Attorney
Curtis, charging Mrs. John w. Norton
with violation of the laws of Kansas on
two counts. The warrant was made out
for both Moore and Mrs. Norton, but as
Moore was already in custody it was
served on the woman.
The first count specifies that they will
fully lived together as man and wife on
July 8, at the Copeland Hotel. The second
count specifies that they are guilty of
"open and gross lewdness and lascivious
behavior and of open and notorious acts Of
public indecency; grossly scandalous in
this, that they registered ut the Copeland
Hotel on July as man and wife and Occu-
pied the same room, contrary to section II
of the statute in relation to marriage"
which makes it a misdemeanor for a man
and woman not married to live together as
man and wife.
1t fixes the penalty at not less than $500
nor more than 81 900 fine, or not less than
thirty days nor more than three months
imprisonment in the county Jail or peni-
Tertiary.
If Moore is released the warrant will
then be served upon him. Mrs. Norton
was at once taken into custody in room ~,
just opposite Moore's room, with an officer
guarding each room.
Both Moore and Mrs. Norton We're very
much surprised when the warrant was
read. 1t is believed that Mrs. Norton will
plead guilty when arraigned in court, and
the minimum fine will be imposed. She
Immediately sent for her attorney, Captain
johnson, and held quite a long consulta-
tiou with him

The half and Half Training Recently In

The Half and Half Training Recently In
troduced Into English Schools.
The Wiseacres of society were a long
time in discovering that a child's brain
is capable of only a limited and mod
crate amount of fixed attention daily.
They have, however, arrived at that
conclusion at last. Brain slavery has
been nearly abolished in schools
especially in public schools. To whom
principally, belongs the credit of first
establishing the fact that children may
be overtaught, we do not know; but he
deserves that a votive statue, sculp-
tured by childish hands, should be
erected in his honor in every great
