Tom Wndc'S Cnsr.

Tom Wade, the negro youth charged
with robbing Charles Trout, was given
a hearing before Justice Williams yes

There was no direct evidence that Wade
actually took the money from Trouts
person, but the facts tended to show
that Wade's actions were more than
suspicious. 1t was shown that Waldo
had no money before the robbery, but
afterward was very plentifully supplied.
He went to Catogni's and bought cigar

law must be strictly enforced.
The laws in this case provides that
the death certificates must be signed by
the attending physician, and if there is
no physician, then the coroner must
view the remains and atlx his sigma
ture.
Heretofors these certificates have
fallen into the hands Of tho under
takers and there remained, but the
board of health now decides that these
certifces must be handed to tho sexton
of the cemetery before the corpse can
be inferred. AT or before noon on each
Monday the sexton must turn these
certificates over to the secretary of the
board of health, and by him they must
be tabulated SO as to show the mortuary
report in full at the end of each month
The board also decided to ask the
Council for blanks 10 carry out thei
work, and further pctitiCncd for the
passage of an ordinance, making it com
pnlsory on each physician in the city TO
report the birth rat, TO the board.
The board will hold regular menthly

Winter Wheat i'm Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 19-Secretary Mob
Ter. of the state board of agriculture, has
received exceedingly encouraging reports
of the condition of winter wheat. In fact
he says that it looks much better now
than it has at any season for several
years. The winter has been favorable.
the land was supplied with moisture, and
the threatened damage by the Hessian Fl y
has been averted. He said that there have
been excellent conditions that are not De.

are general. From the present indications
there is every reason to believe that the
