Remarkable Story Of Convict Now
in Jail at Fort Wayne

Fort WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 4.-John c. Stone,
alias ''Ninson," has made a confession TO
Sheriff ClauSmeier detailing life of great
crimes. He was arrested with John Duffy
and William Walrath for attempting to kill

Henry DOnnelly, policeman, for protection.
He also tells of ii murder committed by him
self, Mrs. Stewart and her son Clarence, in
Cleveland, O. The next morning Stone
killed boy in the Big -Four yards in Linville.
In Buffalo Stone, Walrath, and one Burns,
Il saloon keeper, killed a wealthy Western
farmer who was looking for a good time.
The money was divided and Stone and Wal
rath returned to Chicago, and with their
shares started Il restaurant. Here Walrath
married Stones sister. Mrs. Walrath died
aud Stone and Walrath left Chicago. Later
Stone returned and was Implicated in the
murder of a father and SOL named Prunty.
Three men are now serving life sentences at
Joliet for the crime, but Stone was not ar

Stone then tells OF a murder at Dunkirk,
\. T., where Duffy stabbed a pal, Buffalo
Jack four times and buried him in the
woods. Another murder was committed at

The Summer School of the Ohio

The founders of the modern summer
schools were like Mrs. Gilnin, of whom
we read that
John Gilpin kissed his loving wife
g.: O'erjoyed was he to fird
That though on pleasure she was bent,
She had frugal mind
Summer lectures and studies were at
first designed to mix with the pleasures
of summer resorts just enough OF profit
to quiet conscicnceS that scolded peo-
pie for expending time and money on
mere recreation. But the institution,
once started, has taken its own line of
development, and now, instead of a
little intellectual occupation to digni-
fy an outing, the study is in most cases
the main thing. This change in the
summer school has made it matter of
desire to a host OF people who can not
spend a month by the sea or lakes or
amid the mountains, and the appear
ance of this new constituency reacts
upon the summer school and brings it
to these doors. 50 several of our
universities provide for summer
schools which meet in Their buildings
ana use their apparatus and conven-
fences. Among others the Ohio State
University offers in the summer school
of this year. thirty-nine courses CT

full and cool library with delightful

natural D1trons OF TIE university take
their chances in temporary quarters,

ries for libraries? The university is
located at the center of the state, upon
the most easily accessible college
