BOLD Robbery.

There was quite a bold theft committed
yesterday forenoon at the rush for bar
gains at Cash Henderson's embroidery
sale. Among those who were in the crowd
was Miss Lizzie Nixon, living in the south
part of the city. She was pushing in at
the door with her hand satchel containing
$3.50 in money and several valuable rings,
upon her arm when some person unknown
to her in some way managed to obtain
possession of the satchen and make off
with il and the contents She thinks that
the leather handles were cut and that the
work was so neatly done that an expert
enced thief was the guilty person.

noise. demanded more free advertising,
more pratuitous announcements. more en-
tertainment schemes, ETC., etc., than
all the churches and all the secret
societies of the city. or than
all the schools and all the other charities
combined, with what showing or real re-
suits we leave to the public.
AS for the assertion that women had
been sitting around permitting the men to
get the school system into the slough" that
is all gratituous clap-trap. A board OF
women directors with their "ethical ap-
pointments, and officious intermeddling,
would render the life of the average teach
er not only burden but much less effect
i've and satisfactory than 1T Is under the
management of business men, and we will
leave it to the lady teachers OF this city, or
of America to say whether we declare
truthfully. 1t is further our opinion that
should the schools of this city be put into
the hands of a female board to be run on
the Toler-Colby-M Manning plan, that it
wouldn't be six months before a revolu-
ton would occur among the teachers. and
not two years before the taxpayers and the
woman's board would be in a row.
elected we're Mrs Tolers, this might not
happen in the degree intimated; but, IN
fortunately, the women who wants these
places, the women who will crowd them
selves forward, are the very ones who make
life a burden for the editor with their i'm
portunities and unreasonable and unbusi-
ness-like demands, and who having been
elevated upon an official pedestal before
the eyes of the whole public, under the
impression that they had been born to
greatness and to mission, would forget
and neglect everything else that they
might devote their whole time to fiaring
around in pairs and quartetts stirring up
the already over worked and harrassed
school marms over the short cornings OF
scholars for which alone the Lord Almighty
in his insenscrutab BILE providence, is respon-
sible.
No, nv dear Mrs Toler, Wichita don't
want any female board Of school managers,
| thank you.

The entire plea above is specious. Given

The entire plea above is specious. Given
the privilege of defining her own premises
Mrs T. finds no trouble in reaching con-
illusions entirely satisfactory to herself.
The board of trustees or directors is purely
business one. If women, as rule, have
demonstrated more business capacity than
men then reason would not only turn over
the business department of our schools to
the hands of the women out the directories
of all associations and corporations, pub
lie, private, municipal and otherwise.
When it comes to that department of our
public school system where ethics senti-
ment, morality and patriotism, ETC.,
counts, the women already are represented
as five to Que. These are the teachers and
instructors. The average director may
not even know the meaning of the word
curriculum, or the difference be-
tween proposition and a poly
chromatic tadpole. 1t is not at
all necessary that he should. Business
qualifications and every day worldly
knowledge are the prerequisites for such
a station, not womanly sentimentality and
ideality. He is only wanted to guard the
interests of the taxpayer, TO provide the

those who do the teaching and see that
their pay is forthcoming, and their legal
wants supplied. The teacher is chosen by
him from no woman-intuition standard,
either, but from denonstratable work-re-
suits. Mrs. Toler, IL she owned large
complicated property, employing great
number of men, women and children, the
expenses of which property were great, re-
quiring worldly experience and the sys-
tematic business methods OF board Of
managers to make both its ends meet, would
no doubt choose a board half made
up Of men, and half Of progressive
ideaed women. Well. we wouldn't. Now,
we do not desire Mrs T. to conclude from
the sentence which shall follow that we
are wanting in gallantry or in appreciation
of woman's exaltation. or that we would
unnecessarily render an obnoxious opinion:
but it is a fact that women in responsible
public positions, or rather that that stamp
OF women who's long for and reach such
places, are prone to mske great ado over
little or nothing; they are extensively off,
cious and airy with their supposed i'm
portance. Take the W. c. I. L. organiza-
ton. for instance, which Is wholly run by
women, and for what it really accomplishes

the management of the ocean cable lines

AN ACCIDENT.

Arthur Faulkner, paying teller Of the
Citizens bank, was yesterday morning
quite badly injured in coming from his
home on the Riverside to the bank. He
was standing upon the rear platform, and
leaning out to look ahead, was struck by a
tree which was along the line of the track
and thrown with great violence to the
ground. The car was stopped and several
persons ran back TO him, and finding him
unconscious, placed him on the Car and
brought him to the city for medical aid.
He was sufficiently recovered in the after
noon TO be at his place of business.

1t was evident from the start that the
battle was for blood, as both sides seemed
more than anxious to win.
The Metropole won the toss and took the
outs. For the first two innings the game
went like one played by professionals, but
at the close of the second inning the wind
blew so hard that it was up hill work and
errors on both sides were numerous. For
the Metropole the work Of Pitcher Chap
man and Catcher Ware called forth many
compliments, while for the Carey's the
battery was good, though not nearly so
effective. The best hits were made by
Dean and Hettinger of the Metropolis
and w. d. Murdoch. the ticket man,
who held down the right field
for the Careys said'he had before now sold
coupon tickets that would cover long
distance, but he thought to take in some
of Deans hits would oblige a man TO
change cars at least ten times. The slide
of Dan Young and the kicking propensities
Of Fred Bentley were the subjects of com
ment. Taking it all in all, the game was
well played though sthe score did run up
pretty well. The boys promise TO put up a
better game in a week hence, or as soon as
the bruised hands and sprained ankles will
permit.
NOTES.
F. w. Bentley at II o'clock last night
was being attended upon by three physi-
clans and what with arnica and mustard
plasters he thinks be able TO appear in
court by Saturday.
Will Radford has game finger which
looks like he had been handling broken
glass rather than professional ball
The Big four, Dean, Hettinger, Chap
man and Ware, maintained the dignity Of
the Metropole.
Hagny, of the Santa Fe, declares that he
has quoted rates, but base balls are too
quick for him even TO get show on print
ed tariffs or special rates.
Greet declared that running down liners
was like chasing jack rabbits, j. e., like
going to fire all the time.
