pickanniny in her arms. She told the
commissioners that her mother died a

the baby and four other little children
and that her father had gone to Okla
homa and could not be found. She also
said that she received a little money
from her grandmother at Kansas City
but that she had to pay it all TO the
undertakers before they would bury
her mother. Before she had finished
her sad story great big tears stood in
Mr.. HarmonS eyes. One of the COM
niSSioners Mr.. Webb, thought he recog-
nized the girl as belonging to the Mer-
riweather family who used to receive
charity from the county commissioners
until they We're proved unworthy. Mr.
Webb and Ben Downing went out on a
tour of Investigation yesterday and
found Miss Rogers to be Miss Merri-
weather and also that the girl was the
mother Of the baby she carried in her
arms when she appeared before the com

Despite the warm weather, the work
is progressing nicely, the attendance is
regular and the department good.
Rev. Cain conducted the devotional
services several mornings this week.
The superintendent has made ar
rangements to have an extra session
for the B arithmetic class conducted by
Mrs. Hahn, the work being so difficult
Thursday and Monday mornings didac-
tics will be omitted and arithmetic
substituted.
The model classes in spelling in B
photography were very instructive, es-
pecially to young teachers and for the
improvement of the more experienced.
Prof. Rush called for definition for
apperception and although he did not
define it, he drew figure to represent
hunter. his dog and gun just as he
disappeared; that is apperception.

have Profs. Albert Wilson and Wallace
with us the first of the week.
A rather funny episode occurred at
the east door of the school building
Tuesday. Strange to say, a preacher
was trying to burst large red barrel
in prohibition town with hydraulic
pressure. We didn't learn what the
barrel contained, but presume of course
it contained water. Whatever it was
it failed to burst the barrel after all the
trials it was decided the fault lay in
the barrel leaking.

Defends McNeal.


1t seems that our article of last week
IN so far as it relates to T. A. McNeal's
attempt to secure the populist nomi-
nation for district judge when Mckay
was first nominated, is not cofroborat-
ed by some who claim to be in posses
sion of all the facts. G.. NJ. Martin
handed us a communication yesterday
which we are willing to publish since
it seems to have been written in a fair
spirit greatly in contrast with Nc.
Neals's letter which we mention of re-
ceiying in another column of this issue.
Mr.. Martin was Mr.. McNeal g law part
ner at this place before the latter re-
moved to Topeka and is an intimate
friend to Tom:

paper that you make the statement that T. a

Ing to get the nomination for Judge at Attica.
l was there and happened to know the facts
and in simple justice to Mr.. McNeal it can be
said that he made no attempt to get that nom
ination, though his friends among the dele
gates were anxious to have him say that he
would accept the nomination. He absolutely
refused to let his name go before the conven.
ton. He did not go to Attics to attend the
convention, but on his way home from Hutch.
inson he was detained at Attica 50 he was
there during the convention. The train was
held to accommodate the delegates on their
return trip and Mr.. McNeal had to wait or 60
afoot. hope you will publish this because It
is written for no other purpose to set Mr.. Nc.

The State of Kansas vs.. Briley was
the title of case in Justice Howe's
court, last Wednesday. r. Wal.
tiers being the prosecuting witness.
Walters had warrant sworn out
against Briley for petty larceny the
same being the taking of peaches from
the premises of the complainant against
his wishes and orders. The states
witnesses seemed to conflict as to the
amount of fruit taken and the nature
of language used between the complain
ant and defendant but one thing was
established beyond a doubt: that Briley
did take at least one peach from tree
that did not belong to him, that COM
plainant did take the defendant
to task for purloining the
same, that the fiery regions
were recommended as suitable place
for one of the parties. But the jury
did not believe the evidence sufficient
to warrant them in incarcerating the
defendant and after a short delibera-
ton returned verdict Of not guilty.
County Attorney Beals conducted the
prosecution and G. M. Martin inter.
coded for the defendant.
