from the Mississippi River to Washington.
The Ohio and Mississippi Railway is
the only line running all trains through

AN EDUCATIONAL MAP
Being Prepared by Superinten
dent Wolfe for the Worlds
Fair.

State Superintendent of Public
Schools L. E. Wolfe is having a big
educational map of the state prepared
for the state exhibit at the Worlds
fair. The work is being performed
by Mr.. j. w. Marstella Of Kansas
City, an experienced and skillful
draughtsman. The map which is ten
feet square, will show the exact loca-
ton of every one of the 10000 school
houses of the state, as we'll as the
State university, normal schools, col.
leges and other institutions of learn
ing. The magnitude of the under.
taking can well be imagined.
Some six or seven months
ago the Missouri Worlds
Fair commission asked Prof.
Wolfe to have such a map prepared,
if possible, for the educational exhibit.
He at once addressed letters to every
county asking for necessary informa.
ton, and as is always the case, some OF
the counties did not respond. The
counties yet to be heard from are
Adair, Audain, Butler, Caldwell,
Cape Girardeau, Douglas, Phelps,
Livingston, Ozark. Pulaski, Scotland
and fancy. Strangely enough three OF
these counties have state educational
institutions, to-wit: Adair and Cape
Girardeau, normal schools, and Phelps
the school of mines and metallurgy.
1t will yet be hoped that all these
counties will vet heard from before
the map is sent to Chicago, which will
be the latter part of the month. In
addition to showing the location OF
each educational institution. the map
will contain some figures calculated to
attract attention, such as a permanent
school fund of 81 900, 600; number
of school children, 900, 600; number
of school teachers employed annually,
1000; annual expenditures for
school purposes, s., OOO, 900.

TOM SAWYERiTES.
Band of Boys at Mound City
Engage in "Looting," Sum-
day School Scholars.

A startling story comes from Mound
City, Mo-, relative to the result of
the pistol shot fired by Edward Shell
enbager, u merchant at that place, a
few nights ago. The shot which took
effect in the body of Willie Stebbins,
the 16-year-old son of well known
farmer residing near that place,
Brought out curious story, and also
revealed to the people of Mound City
that all they had known of some of
the young men of that place, was not
exactly as they had supposed.
Yesterday there was one of the
most largely attended funerals known
for years, held at that place. The
dead was Willie Stebbins, into whose
body Shellenbarger fired the bullet,
and who had died the night previous
from the effects of the shot. 1t was
at first thought thath he would recover,
but Friday collapse occurred and he
died in a short time. Prior to his
demise and when he had been assured
that death was certain he was asked to
tell all about the robberies, through
the result of which he was shot. For
some time he hesitated. but finally af-
ter being assured that his death was
only a short way off, told his hearers
that he would like to tell the story,
but that he was bound by an obliga-
ton.
Finally the young man told por-
ton of the story, but refused under
his obligations to tell all of the details.
As near as can be learned he told
these near him that he and number of
other young men had read Tom Sawyer
and from it had secured their ideals.
Then nine of them organized society
modelled after the Sawyer method and
q hideous oath was administered to

each. The character of this oath was
not divulged, but its nature was 80
strong that it caused the dying young
man to shudder. The band was COM
posed of sons of the best peo-
pie in Mound City, and at the
first meeting they elected by ballot a
president, vice president, secretary
and treasurer. Each of these officers
were plainly told their duties, and a
cave selected in one of the bluffs was
made the rendezvous of their plumber.
The object of the band was to loot the
business places of the city, and then
divide the booty secured. The presi-
dent of the band was TO secure the
necessary skeleton keys according to
the Tom Sawyer method, and at the
time that Stebbins was shot the presi-
dent had over 100 of these instru-
ments. Several raids were made and
it was the fatal bullet fired by Shell
enbarger, which put a stop to further
raids.
"A curious TACT connected Will
the breaking up of the Tom Sawyer
ties, was that all of the young men
concerned were Sunday school schOl-
arr. They were all in good standing
and each Sunday found them in their
classes prepared for the Scriptural
study. Every Sunday night they
were at church and it was generally
after services on Sunday nights that
they made their raids. The shooting
of Stebbins occurred less than an
hour after services had closed at the
church and one of the band who made
the raid that night had sung in the
choir just prior to going out on the
looting expedition. All Of the young
men are connected with the best
families in Mound City, and their
parents are feeling the disgrace keen
iy. All of the young men will be ar:
rested according to the statement of
an official who was in that city yester-
day. He stated that the arrests
would be made at once.
