TON, A KANSAS BOY.
nv LENORE DOsTER.
Continued from last week.)

They had been at school few min
utes when the children came shutting
nOisily in. They were Poles, Jews, Ital-
ians and Irish. Few of them looked as
if they had ever seen wash basins or
combs, and they all smelled as bad as
they looked.
Katie Fadden," said Miss VintOn
when the children were seated
Katie stood up.
Have you washed your face this
morning?
Katie shook her head and pouted in
a way that showed she didn't want to,
either.
Harry Stoltzer, when did you wash,
last?"
Harry didn't know and could not be
expected to remember things that hap
pened so long ago.
When Harry and Katie had scrubbed
their faces roll was called. There were
many absent and Miss Vinton said: II
shall have to send the truant officer
after those boys and girls who stay
away so much"
The truant officer is a policeman who
goes after the children who play
hockey, for although there are no shady
woods here in which to go graping or
nutting, and there are no birds nests
to rob, the boys often play truant, as
there are doorsteps and alleys where
they shoot craps and play Til, betting
pennies and marbles and old cigar stubs
Then there are dog fights and boy fights
and other amusements Of which their
Sunday school teachers, IL they ever had
any, would not approve, but they had
none and, what Is more, did not want
any; for in the eyes of the slum boys
policemen and Sunday school men"
are to be equally avoided and 1t Is an
equal calamity to run across either.
Then there Is East river, and no matter
If it is salty and bitter and contains all
kinds Of filth, to dive off the docks and
old scOws and swim in its cool waters
on hot day is glorious fun and far
more to a fellows liking than staying
in hot school room, and as these boys
had never been taught the need Of
learning, as all boys in the country
have we cannot blame them so much for
preforring to swim. You may be sure
the truant officer is kept quite busy
uOWu III LulS part VI lHo ClCyp uuL lac
docs not always catch the boy he Is af-
ter, for nobody knows the dark corners,
hidden places and secret passageways
of escape so we'll as these jolly, sharp
witted, wicked little rats of the slums.
The officer may think he has his boy
when, quick as a wink, the little rascal
has darted into an alley or through
hole in the sidewalk and slid down the
incline into coal cellar and disap-
peared; and the puzzled officer may go
on hunting or give up the chase and
go home.
Where is Antonio Parini?" said Miss
Vintcn, looking over the room.
Nobody answered.
Angelina PasQuelle, do you know
why he is not here?"
Angelina said something about An
tonio's father.
What about his father?"
"Deada"
"Dead!"
Angelina nodded.

MONSTER HYDRAULIC PLANT.
Similar in Plan but Superior to the Mag ara Plant-To Supply Light and Power
 to Tacoma and Seattle.

CHIGAdo, Aug. 9.-Cohtracts have been let which will result in supplying the cities of Tacoma and Seattle with electric light and power similar, if not far iu advance, of that now being furnished at Niagara. The Snoqualmie Falls Power Co. has just closed contracts for the completion of its plant. This enterprise is under taken by Chicago parties The project is perhaps the most wonderful deyet- opment Of dyraulie power yet under taken in this country. Saoqualmie falls are 22 miles from Seattle. and about the same distance from Tacoma on air air line, and has an unbro<en vertical fall of 970 feet, and is the only waterfall of cotnmerc ial utility west of Spokane, The flow of the river is equal to 3o,000 horse power at low water, and the plan of installation
 is such that al small additional ex- pense for dams amt reservoirs the en- tire drainage from the snow fields of the Suoquaimie water shed of lO00 square miles will be available, mall- ing over 100, 00o horsepower whenever business of the ad jacent cities may demand it. The power-house is hewn from the solid rock 250 feet beneath the crest of the fall where taa immense water wheels connect dirraa with generators from which the eiee- tricity is transmitted by wire to Seattle and Tacoma.

For several weeks past hold-ups and burglaries have been of nightly occur renee in Little Rock In almost every instance tho description given of the highwaymen was the same-that they were Hong and tall man. but until the night of the 7th inst. they succeeded in eluding the officers, when they were caught burglarizing drug store. They were in the building when discovered, and, jumping through window, shot at the officers as they ran awsy. Sew eral shots were fired after them, but IS they got away it was supposed they were not hit Early the following morn ing, however, 2 physician reported to the chief of police that young man named John Matson had called him to dress two wounds, stating that he had been shot in row. Matson was shot through the abdomen and in the thigh. Harry Films, who answered the deserip tion of the "Short man." was seen with Watson on the night of the drug store burglary, and both were arrested They were raised in Little Rock, and have frequently been before the police court.

Students Threaten to secede.

A number of students of the law de partment of the State University at Little Rock threaten to secede and establish a new and independent law school Their grievance is that the board of trustees did not elect for dean to succeed the late Judge Goar J. II. Carmichael. A few weeks ago some of the students petitioned the new dean, Mark Valentine, to resign in favor of Mir Carmichael They also appealed to the bourd of trustees, but at recent session the board declined to make the change, expressing at the time it's con fdence in the ability of Judge Valen- tine. There is no particular objection urged against Judge Valentine by the seeedefs, but they are of opinion that the board should have selected Mr

Double Tragedy nt n Convict Camp

A double killing occurred at Wiegel's brick yard, near Little Rock, on the afternoon of August '. " $. Bishop, white convict, was shot and killed by P. Fulgum, q guard, and Warden Giles Hudson was shot and killed by V. A. Potts, superintendent of convict camps. Bishop, the dead convict, was from 0uaehita county, and was placed in the penitentiary last April to serve five year term for grand larceny. Fulgum claims that Bishop was advancing on him with an uplifted axe, threatening to brain him, when he fred Bishop was hit in the thigh and died in few minutes. Potts immediately went to Warden Hudson and gave his version of the killing of the convict, which was to the effect that it was justifable. Hudson, it seems, had been informed that the shooting of Bishop was noth- Ing more nor less than murder, and so expressed himself to Potts, and repri- manded him about being negligent. The lie was passed and Potts began firing. Hudson ran away, but was hit four times, one ball breaking his back
 The slayer of Hudson is son of ex- Senator T. F. Potts, of Logan county, and about 26 years old. Hudson had been employed about the state peniten. tiary camps for the past II years, and bore good reputation. Guard Fulgum killed convict who attempted to es- cape from a camp last spring. Coroner Young arrived on the scene shortly after the double tragedy, and found that Fulgum and Potts had left the camp. He procured shotgun and started in pursuit, coming upon them in the woods about 300 yards away
 Potts at first refused to surrender, ac- cording to the coroner's statement, but after much parleying, during which time the double barreled shotgun in the hands of Mr. Young was leveled at hi1, he dropped his pistols and sub mitted to arrest. Fulgum was exoner- ated by coroner's jury. Potts was held on the charge of un njustifiable homicide
