THE RANGE EXPLODED.
Remarkable Accident at the Home of o.
SwaIIer tais Morning.

SwaIIer tzlis Morning.
A sound like the report of a cannon
startled the people in the vicinity OF
Ninth and Fillmore streets at o'clock
this morning. A large steel range
in the kitchen of O. Swaller, travelling
man who resides at No. 905 Fillmore
street, had exploded and the kitchen was
found to be on fire. The fire was put
out before it got under Roadway or had
done much damage.
1t was then found that the stove had
been literally torn to pieces and every
window pane in the kitchen and adjoin-
ing room had been broken. The parti-
ton wall of the kitchen was smashed
and pieces of the stove were scattered
about the room.
Mr.. Swaller says the girl built fire
this morning as usual and when the stove
had become hot and while the girl was
standing near by the explosion occurred.
The girl was thrown across the room
with considerable force, but escaped SER
ious iniur}. Mr.. Swaller says that he is
at a loss to understand the cause of the
explosion as the range was an ordinary
one and soft coal was used.

ton become laws Kansas will have two
more state normal schools Each bill
calls for an appropriation of $25,OOO for
the purchase of private normal schools
which are now running in Fit Scott and
Great Bend.
Dir. Buffers bill calls for an appropria-
ton of $25 600 to purchase the Fit Scott
normal school. $16,0J9 for buildings and
land and $4,000 for library, fixtures and
apparatus. 1t is to have a board of re-
gents appointed In the same way as
those of the State Normal at Emporia
and will have the same standard of in
struction.
Mr.. Coles bill also calls for $4,000 or
such part thereof as a committee shall
deem a fair compensation, for the pur-
chase of the Great Bend normal school,
which is now run by Prof Stryker. and
controlled by the Great Bend Land and
Improvement company.
Prof Stryker is the man against whom
such indignation was raised by the Re-
publicans in that section last fall because
he allowed or caused to be distributed in
the school chapel copies of speech of
Jerry Simpson.
A1r. Cole, speaking of his bill, said:
''West of the center of the state there is
but one state institution and that the
small Industrial home for girls at Beloit.
The west thinks it has q right to one be-
cause there is demand for it. The State
Normal at Emporia is already crowd
ed and the fact that the Great Bend
school has 175 pupils indicates the neces-
sity for a state institution in that section
Great Bend is centrally located as to that
part of the state and hundreds of teach
ers would be able to come there who can
not afford to go two hundred miles to
En- poria."

Tax Must Be Paid Whether There is an
Appropriation or Not.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator Cor
don, of Georgia, in conversation with
senators called attention to certain pro-
visions of the income tax which co1npels
taxpayers to make returns and pay their
taxes upon incomes whether the pend
ing appropriation passes or not.
"The defeat" he says, "of the appro-
priation will not defeat the collec-
ton of the income tax from
the people. Under section 90 of
the law all persons and corporations with
incomes above SIS, 800 are required to
make returns according to the form pre-
scribed by the revenue department and
the secretary of the treasury. ''This is
made" said the general "the plain duty
of the citizens and the mere failure of
congress to appropriate money for the
more effective collection of the income
tax, cannot of course defeat the opera
ton of the law, nor the attaching
of heavy penalty provided for as
failure to make such returns. The
only possible way for the opponents of
the income tax to save the people from
paying this tax is to repeal the law it.

4tare Withholding of the appropriation
asked will have no effect whatever ex-
cept perhaps to deceive the uninformed,
beguile them into q feeling of security,
and to neglect compliance with the plain
