VERY SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION.
The Ceramic Art Show and Its Beautiful
Lessons.


The Ceramic exposition, closing last
Saturday night, at the Lewis academy,
was all that its friends and patrons
claimed for il in the way of an exhi-
bition of real art. There was very lit
tie of the exhibit that failed of show
ing conscientious work and of high
order. Whether of geometrical figures,
animals and bird groupings, or mere
fancy. every set and every piece proved
worthy the occasion. The collection of
truly dainty and delightful things was
bewildering. OF books, vases, platters,
dishes, cups, flagons, goblets, pots,
sinSly and in sets, and what not. We

Halstead Band Sends the Eagle . Few

The telephone bell in the reporters
room at the Eagle office rang last night

The reporter for the Eagle suspected
that il was a scheme to see what kind

he said, Go ahead
Then there seemed to be about 100
instruments among which was a har.

their escape.
Mr.. A. c. Jobes Of the Kansas Ma

the attempted robbery as communicate
ed to him by his sister. who is one Of
the managers of the bank. as follows:
Burglars attempted to rob the At

last Saturday night, but in removing

WILL CORRECT CLERICAL ERRORS.
Board of County Commissioners in Session
as Board of Equalization.

The board of county commissioners
will be in session all of this week as
board of equaliza ton. They will hear
complaints of people who think their
property has been marked too high by
the assessors.
The commissioners put in days and
weeks last year listening to complaints
of people who thought they were COM
PEELED to pay more than their share of
taxes. The average man does not pay
any attention to assessment until he
walks I'D to the county tTeasurer's Of
flee TO pay his taxes. Then II he
thinks It is too high he registers his
kick with the county commissioners.
The county commissioners say that
they will give plenty of time for all
who are dissatisfied with their assess
ment but that no hearing will he grant
ed and no corrections will he made af-
ter the board Of equalization adjourns
unless il be 10 correct clerical errors

WILL LIFT THEIR sCALPS.
James Crupper Arrested for Heinous or
Tense and Threatens the Witnesses.

James Crupper. an old soldier Sc
years old, was arrested on the charge
OF taking liberties with little 3-year-
old girl. the daughter of Thomas Wat
kins, 242 North Lawrence avenue, and
had his preliminary hearing before
Judge Hatton yesterday.
Crupper took it very cool yesterday
until Judge Hatton held him in the
sum of 5000 to appear in the district
court, when he made things look blue
about the police station and with up
lifted hand vowed that he would lift
the scalps Of the men who had testified
against him.
The evidence in the case attracted
good deal of interest on the part of a
large number of spectators who
thronged Judge Hatton's court. It was
more interesting because of the prom
inence given to a little box elder switch
and a yellow shepherd dog.
Mr. Watkins claims that the offense
was committed about o'clock p. m.
in his barn and there was found in the
barn a twig from box elder switch
about thirty inches long with a curve
on the small end.
Frank Alhands, young man, found
the stick in the barn and he claimed
to have seen an old man with that
same stick up by the Sedwick block
about p. m. and that the man had
yellow shepherd dog with him. Taking
this clew the police officers arrested
James Crupper.
TIL little girl on Sunday evening said
that Crupper was the man who offered
to h.Iy her candy but yesterday County
Attorney Davis asked her to point out
the man who promised to buy her
candy. She was standing directly in
front of Crupper, but after looking
over the room for some time she said
she did not see him.
Alhands testified to seeing Crupper
up by the Sedwick building about 5 p.
m with his shepherd dog and he iden-
tilted the stick as one that Crupper
carried in his hand.
Crupper had several witnesses but he
had no counsel, and when they were
put on the stand County Attorney
Davis questioned them. Crupper and
his own witnesses all testified that he
had a yellow shepherd dog and also
that he had box elder trees growing in
his yard, but they all said Crupper was
at home all day on Sunday.
Crupper told how he had stayed at
home all day and had only gone to a
butcher shop in the morning and across
the road in the afternoon to picket his
cow Mrs. Crupper went on the stand
and confirmed the story about him be-
ing a t home all the afternoon.
Tony Angel. who lives just north of
Crupper, and his wife. Mr.. and Mrs.
Fallaho who live in the next house
south. all testified to seeing Crupper at
home about > p. m, but their recollec-
tions of the time that Crupper fed his
chickens in the evening did not exact
~ agree.
Crupper told reporter for the Eagle
that he would be Ga years old the 18th
of this month and that he served in the
army in the Seventh Missouri regiment.

the curse will be eradicated.
The judges awarded the first prize
to Mr.. Anderson, and the generous ap-
plause showed the decision was ap-
proved by the crowd.
On the whole. the contest was an
honor to the school and highly credita-
BILE to the speakers.

Gormnn's Spite Work.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, speaking of Senator Cor
mans unexpected course in seeking a re-
duction in the Senate Of nearly $3,00O,0OO on
the House naval bill. says:
'The officials infer that the Maryland
Senator proposes shutting up the WASH
ington gun shops, If 1t is possible, and thus
three thousand men who have been work
ing on new ordnance since the great plant
was established in Mr.. Whitney's admins
tration. There Is no doubt that without
the money which the Senate committee de-
clines to recommend for this particular
branch Of work the factory must close
down about August l, and once shut, 1t
would be impossible to reopen it until the
ensuing Congress provides money for con-
tinuing the work of gun manufactury.
Next session being long one. 1t Is quite
probable the annual naval bill would not
become Law until late IN the spring or
early summer, and thus necessitate the
shops being shut down for at least a year.
1t Is openly declared that Senator German
Is Influenced in his attitude toward the
Washington gun factory by reason Of his
dissatisfaction in not receiving the amount
of patronage for workingmen in Maryland
and this city to which he believes he Is
entitled and that he will antagonize APP
proprfations for this work until the Secre-
tary rescinds the appointment order, which
finds such disfavor with the Senator. Not
only will the close Of these shops bring
about much injury to the men, but 1t Will
deprive the Navy Department OF the serv-
ices Of valuable workingmen and expert
enced gunmakers when the shops are again
ready forcontinuing work. One officer re-
CARDS the closing of the shops as practf-
cally meaning that political considerations
must again rise superior to those OF eff
ciency."
