His Eseapade as Sneak Thief Comes
to Sudden Halt When Marshal
Hess Gets Hold of Him.

A seedy looking individual named
Jim Smith, alias something else, was
arrested this afternoon on charge of
stealing clothing from Faulkner &
Bearce. He went into the store and
when the eagle eyed proprietors were
not looking slipped pair of pants
under his oyercoat.
Going out he tried to sell them to
Bill Murphy but that gentleman was
no chicken and informed Marshal
Hess. Hess followed the man and
soon trailed him down in the rear of
the Kirby block on Third street.
Taking him to the police judges
Office he was searched, the chief results
being an empty whisky bottle. He had
attempted to hide the clothing in an
clubhouse but it was found and identi-
fed by Faulkner s. Bearce.
The case being a state one the pris-
oner was turned over to the tender
mercies of the sheriff and will have his
examination in Quinn's court. The
man is a stranger in town and was
somewhat intoxicated.

PLENTY OF WATER.
ABILENE SPRINGS SHOW NO
DECREASE OF SUPPLY.
A False Rumor Scares Some of the
Eighty Ones Out of Their Usual
Judgment The Water Flows with
Its Customary Regularity.

a rumor was current on the streets
yesterday that the supply Of water at
Abilene or Sand Springs had suddenly
gwen out. 1t was so manifestly un-
true that we deemed it unnecessary to
contradict it. There are, however,
many who believe the report and to
set their minds at rest We wish to in
form them that the water supply is
as abundant and apparently ineXhaus-
tible as it has been for hundred
years.
The basis of the rumOr was probably
the fact that the outlet to the reservoir
was stopped up Thursday evening and
the water rose in the large cistern or
reservoir Is feet and then stopped,
that probably being either the height of
the supply from the Springs or else at
that height another outlet is found.
Upon being released the old flow of
several hundred thousand gallons a
day was resumed, enough for the city's
supply until Abilene has a population
of $4,000. There need be no worry
about Abilene's water supply. The
city will have an abundance of the best
water in Kansas hehcefOrth.
1t will be also of interest that new
analysis made of the water of the
springs since the ground about the
opening has been cleared gives higher
percentage of pure water than was Sc
cured before. A u. S. gallon contains
IS, 32S grains. The Abilene springs
water has 1888 grains of solids oIS454
thousandths of one per cent, making
the percentage Of purity 99456 per
cent.

A Prosperous Company.

Elsewhere in this issue appears a
synopsis of the business of the Kansas
Mutual Life association, of Hiawatha,
Kansas, to which we call special atten-
ton. A glance at this exhibit shows
the company to be in a prosperous con-
dition. Its growth from year to year
in business magnitude and financial
strength is most gratifying to both
management and policy holders. Al
though the cost of insurance in the
Kansas Mutual Life is much less than
in old line companies, its surplus as
sets show conclusively that its pre-
MUM rates are ample to meet every
obligation. Safety and economy char
acterize this company.

LoWering the Standard.

The official notice of Supt. Van Vyke
10 the effect that the minimum stan
dard for third grade certificates will
hereafter be 40 per cent instead of go
as heretofore has justly aroused much
indignation. Supt. B. F. Nihart says
in his educational column in the Her
ington Times:
Supt. Van Dyke has sent out his
dates of examinations during the
year Upon the card he gives the in
formation that 40 per cent is the mini
mum for third grade certificate. 1t
is our opinion that teacher who an
sWers but 40 per cent of the questions
in any study is not fit to teach the
young.
The Enterprise Journal puts it this
ways
Our efficient ~ county superinten-
dent in notifying the teachers of the
dates of the different examinations to
be held during the year informs them
that che minimum will be 40 per cent.
While we doubt his authority for doing
this without the consent of the other
twosmembers of the examining board,
yetWe are willing to allow him this
authority but consider it disgrace to
the teaching profession that the stan
dardr should be placed so low.
Every teacher in the county who con-
siders his reputation as teacher worth
anything should make it point to let
this 40 per cent superintendent know
that he cannot have the support of the
teachers in reducing the standings
Write 10 him, talk to him and if posi-
bic get him to realize the responsibility
of the-position he occupies. The teach
ers,of Dickinson county are well and
fayorably known but such disgracefu
proceedings as this will soon maxi
them the laughing stock of the entir,
profession.

IMPORTANT RULING.
Cities of the Second and Third Glass

decision in the case of the city of

laws Of 1887, authorizing counties and
incorporated cities Of the second and
third class to subscribe to the stock of
companies organized for the purpose of
development of coal, oil, gas and
natural resources oftheir localities was
unconstitutional and absolutely void.
The decision is one of considerable
Importance and if confirmed by the
supreme court will have a large bear
ing or the municipal Indebtedness of
the state. Many cities have voted
such bonds and the same have been
sold. An endless amount of litigation
would follow if the decision is sas-
