by actual want of food enough to live on.
Persons have come to Mrs. Thorpe who
too plainly showed lack of enough to eat.
Three extreme cases which Mrs.
Thorpe has at present are those of a
family in North Topeka, one in Parkdale,
and another in South Topeka.
A family named McGimpsey which is
living on Railroad street in North Tope-
ka, is in most pitiable condition. The
mother is sick. there are five children in
the family, and the father has had but a
half days work since he has been in To-
peka. For this he received twenty five
cent bottle of ointment. There is abso-
lutely no furniture in the house, and the
people are wretched.
The family was compelled to stop here
p because of the sickness of the mother.
They we're moving through in a wagon.
McGimpsey was at Mrs. Thorpe's yester-
day when the president of the Advent
lists ladies society called.
"Ill give you days work and pay
you dollar for it." she said, upon learn
his condition.
God bless you," replied McGimpsey
fervently.
"And as you probably need the money,
here's the dollar and you can do the work
when yon get ready"
McGimpsey looked after her as she
went away. "It's not many people will
pay a poor man in advance" he said, as
he looked long at the coin.
Still Mr. and Mrs McGimpsey will
probably be the parents of five more
children as soon as possible although
they are not able to take care of the five
they already have.

DIDN'T USE THE KNIFE.
Bozeman's School Board Left Teachers
Salaries as They Were.
gnecial Dispatch TO the Standard

Bozeman's School Board Left Teachers
Salaries as They Were.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Bozeman, May 4-The annual meet
ing of the school board last night was
looked upon with more interest than
ever before in its history. owing to the
two new members elected to that board
this spring having been elected by a
faction favoring a reduction OF the
salaries of the principal and teachers
of the public schools. 1t was expected
that the board would stand for re-
trenchment, and that the knife would
be used on the salaries of the teachers,
but after a great deal Of talking the
board voted to retain the present
teachers, and at their old salaries, and
the only change made was to raise the
salary of one teacher IS per month.
Supt. w. Z. Harmon looked for a re-
duction of his salary from $500 to
$500, and had this cut been made he
would have left Bozeman: but this was
favored by but one member of the
board-Rev. Jacob Mills. Then a vote
to reduce the principals salary 10 per
cent was lost, only three votes being
cast in favor of this. 1t had been de-
cided at the last meeting to cut the
salary of the clerk OF the board from
SIS to $40 per month. but this was
changed last night, and the clerk will
draw SIS in future.

San Francisco. May 4.-Theodore
Durrant has been transferred from the

to which he has been assigned is that
occupied by nearly all the murderers
whose crimes have been notorious In
San Francisco during the past Is years.

broker, whose testimony created such
a sensation In the police court yester-

he is positive as to the identity both
OF Durant and the little diamond ring.
Oppenheimer says Durrant wished TO
sell the ring. which was the one worn
by Blanche Lamont. and subsequently
returned TO her aunt. Oppenheimer

KALNOKY QUITS.
He Didn't Like the Way the Papai Nuncio
Talked.

Vienna, May 4.-The Fremden Blatt
has announced that Count Kalnohy.
imperial minister OF foreign affairs.
has resigned. The resignation. IL is
presumed. grew out of the recent utter
ances OF the papal nuncio against the
ecclesiastical bill during his visit TO va
rious towns in Hungary.
Baron Banffy, Hungarian prime min
lister. replying to an Interpolation on
the subject in the lower house OF the
Hungarian diet Wednesday. said the
vatican's influence in church matters
should be exercised only through the
primate of Hungary. and the imperial
government held this view and had re-
quested the vatican to explain the con-
duct OF the nuncio. These statements.
il appears. created great surprise in
the foreign Office. and could only be
''ascribed to Baron Banffy's ignorance
OF diplomatic usages."

4 tention to American Laws.
Tampa. Fla. May 4.-The Spanish
gunboat. Infanta Isabella, is detained
here by the state quarantine officers.
Last evening the gunboat passed by
the quarantine station at Mullet Key
without paying any attention to the
>quarantine law and anchored for the
night about 10 miles on this side. The
state quarantine officers on the patrol
steamer Germ escorted the gunboat
back to the quarantine station. where
Commander Francis Coduenas was In
formed that before he could proceed
his ship would have TO be fumigated
and detained at least five days.
The gunboat has 175 newly-import-
ed spaniards on board and is only four
days from Havana. Her commander
is highly indignant. 1t is possible that
after receiving his orders the COM
mander OF the Infanta Isabella will
defy the orders of the quarantine au-
thorities.
