Number OF School Age in the State Is 405,-
771j Average Attendance Only 252,7@T.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 22.--The state
superintendent of public instruction
reports that the total number of peo-
pie in Kansas between the ages of five
and 81, as shown by county superin-
tendents' reports for the year ended
June 80, 1897, is 405, III, while the same
reports show an average daily attend"
ance of only 959, 797. Less than 81 per
cent. of the school population is in
daily attendance in school. Figures
are also given showing the cost to
the county and state of furnishing
school facilities. The average eX-
penditure for each child attend
ing school is $40; some of the western
counties, however, show much
higher average. Morton county has
95 children in school. 1t pays a county
superintendent $3.50, pays $144 to an
examining board, 81, SsS for teachers
salaries, and it spent $10s.55 last year
on county teachers institute. The
average cost of educating the children
of Morton county was $3.50 for each
child last year.

Mrs. HIlImon's Interest in Life Insurance
Policy Was Owned Indirectly by the COLn-
pany.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 24.-It was not
until theSpapers signed by the lawyers
were sent to the United States circuit
court to be filed that the exact
plan of settlement of the Mrs. Hill
mon suit against the New York
Life Insurance company became
known outside of the limited cir
Gle of the lawyers and parties to
the suit Mrs. Hillmon, now Mrs.
Smith, sold her claim against the New
York Life to James Il. Lord, of New
York, who is indirectly interested in
the company. The exact price paid by
Lord for the claim is kept a carefully
guarded secret. Mrs. Smiths husband
admitted that it was not more than
two-thirds of the total claim. There
is reason for believing that it was con-
siderably less, but as Smith is figuring
on settlements with the 9th err two
companies he and his attorneys will
guard the secret carefully.

DEATH IN THE STORM.
Worst Known ON the Ohio River for 30
Yenrs--MIaAissip on n Big RiRe.

A0ANh--uAANHAhHIppt On DIE NlNes
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. "a. River
men reaching port say Saturday nights
storm was the worst on the river in 20
years, yet no serious loss is reported
to steam craft, A house boat occupied
by George Atkins and his two young
daughters just above the city was
swamped during the night and the oc-
cupants took refuge in large skiff.
The darkness coming on evidently be-
wildered them, for they never reached
shore, The skiff was found bottom
side up.
SHEBoYGAN, Wis, Jan. "a. The fleet
of vessels in winter quarters in this
city experienced severe shaking up
yesterday, occasioned by tidal wave,
the third of the season. The wave
was caused by the northeast gale and
the water swept up the river in such
great volumes that the harbor was
turned into veritable whirlpool. Ice
from IL to 16 inches thick was ground
into chunks as small as hens eggs and
vessels were torn from their mornings
and driven in all directions.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 24.-The most Sc
we're blizzard which has visited this
city in years continued in its fury
until six o'clock Sunday morning.
Snow to the depth of IS inches has
fallen and, with the wind blowing at
the rate of SO miles per hour, great
drifts were formed in all parts of the
city, making travel almost an impossi-
bility. All railroad trains were
blocked for many hours
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. "a The Mis-
sissippi river from Cairo to New Or
leans, is rising rapidly and there is
enough water in sight to send it above
the danger line from Cairo to Vicks-
burg. The water rose foot here yes
terday and in a short time it will
probably be above the danger line.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. "a. THE high
stage of the water in the Ohio was re-
sponsible for a railroad accident in
New Albany which resulted in The
death of two men and the injuring of
two others. A part of the New Al
bany Belt & Terminal railroad, part
of the Air Line system, skirts the
river bank on a steel trestle 20
feet high The water had en-
croached upon the structure and
so softened the earth about one of
the pillars that the stone base be-
came unsteady. A freight train had
just reached the foot of Pearl street
when the steel support gave way,
causing the large span above it to be-
come suddenly depressed, The loco
motive toppled over the side of the
trestle and fell into the water AS it
fell it broke from the adjoining car
and the rest of the train was left
standing on the trestle. The engineer
and brakeman were both killed.
