KINDERGARTEN NOTES.

The Santa Fe kindergarten has grown
to such an extent that they have had TO
have another room, and now occupy
second room, the two being thrown to-
gether. Great enthusiasm on the part
OF the mothers is being manifested in this
kindergarten.
Mrs. Hunt gave fine kindergarten
address at Mr.. Longs church last Sun
day evening, and again before the moth
er's meeting in North Topeka on We'd
nesday afternoon.
Nowhere is there more enthusiasm
shown than in the work at Auburndale.
This is shown both by the full attend
ance at the meeting of this auxiliary,
and the large attendance at the kinder
gartens, where they have enrolled al
most every child of suitable age in the

white was to-day committed to jail
without bail by Constable a L. Harreil.
She was arrested last night by said Of
flcer and taken before Justice George T..
Parker. OF Somelton, who sent the case
on to the next grand jury.
Her husband, George Russell. as pre-
viously reported in The Virginian, was
killed with some blunt instrument, pre-
samably an axe. last Saturday night at
mia home, near Whaleyville. The cir
cumstances preceding his death and sub
e,eunent discovery by the neighbors are
considered by people of that vicinity suf-
fcierrtly brutal and reprehensible TO JUS
fifty any act. If 1t be proven that Mrs.
Russell committed the act she will be
punished very lightly, If at all.
The hest information obtainable is to
tbs effect that Russell went home on the
fatal might In a bolsterous and intox!-
Gated condition He began beating,
He procured gun to kill his daughter
and did fire one or two shots at her. but,
fortunately, none took effect. The worst
sufferer from his savage debauchry
was his wife. who now lies in jail, being
held responsible for his death. She was
Kicked, chicken and assaulted, evidently
with some steel or iron weapon. There
ds a cash several inches long on her
head. the blood from which flowed
through her hair and over her clothing,
making a sickening spectacle. She still
suffers from the effects.
From the appearance OF Russell's dead
body 1t is surmised THAT he was murder
ed while lying down. The skull was evB-
IDENTIFY crushed with the thick part Of an
axe. There were three or four holes in
the head. froGni which the brains were
cozing. Excitement reigned supreme in
the community over the terrible tragedy.
There was talk as to the author of the
crime. but no arrests were Immediately
made. AT the Coroners inquest the re-
sponsfbtltty was not placed. 1t Is report
ed. but not officially. that Mrs Russell
mas acknowledged the killing.
