HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN.

Supt- Young Questions Principals OF School
Buildings.
Supt. Il. G.. Young has sent the fol-
lowing timely notice to the principals
of the several schools:
Il desire TO call attention of princi-
pals and teachers to the fact that
there is at the present time great
deal of illness in the schools. 1t is
possible that the teachers are doing
all in their power to provide for the
health and comfort of their pupils as
well as themselves. 1t may not be
amiss, however, to suggest the fol-
lowing pertinent questions upon all
of which the teachers have had, here
tofore, definite instructions:
Are all pupils in ordinary health
required to leave the room at recess?
(See rule 81. page 60, of Rules and
Regulations).
Are pupils required when going
out of doors to properly cIOthe
themselves? ct is criminal negli-
gence to permit children to 90 from a
warm room into the cold outdoor air
without donning outdoor wraps).
do teachers observe whether or
not the warm air which enters the
room is well supplied with pure fresh
air? -
I'm those building in which the ven
tilation Is defective, are the rooms
thoroughly aired by means of the
doors and windows during the recess
period?
1T is Is much the duty of the teach
ers to care for the health of their pupils
rs to give them instruction.
The above are suggested from
conditions found in my visits during
the past 10 days"

BOLD BURGLARY
CLINTON CHURCH CAUGHT
He Then Tries to Cut His Way to
Liberty.

About o'clock Tuesday morning Gin
ton Church entered an East Douglas ave-
nue. store and on being discovered. turned
on his pursuer with a long knife and
stabbed him in numerous places. The
scene OF the crime was d small butcher
shop at 1923 East Douglas, run by II. A.
Bissen. The rear Of the store is occupied
by his family as living rooms and every
one was sleeping sOundly when Mr. Bis
sell was awakened by a noise in the shop.
He called his wife's attention to it, and
being partially dressed, he slipped around
from the back door to the front Of the
shop. Just as he turned the corner
man on the inside struck a hight, by which
Mr.. Bisseu could see that a pane Of glass
had been cut out by the intruder. Step
ping up to this opening he attracted the
burglars attention, who promptly made
dash for liberty. A struggle ensued on
the sidewalk and Church began striking
Bissell with big knife which he held in
his hand Although Bissell is an old man,
he overcame the fighting crook and while
holding his wrists he called loudly for help.
His wife came, and between the two. they
managed to secure possession of the knife.
They then held him until the arrival of
Officer Hazlett, who conducted him to the
station.
Mr. Bisseu was cut a number OF times in
the neck and shoulder some of the wounds
being very painful but none dangerous.
He was very low yesterday from the loss
of blood, but the doctors agree that with
rest and good attention he will recover
shortly.
Clinton Church. though still a young
looking man, has al bad past record. The
police claim that he has been a crook for
the last fourteen years, and that he is
one Of those who entered MagilIs store
about a week ago. officer Ramspere,
Waterman at the Santa Fe saw Church
hanging about the depot Monday night
but did not observe anything suspicious.
However as the door 10 the office was
open, he is satisfied that Church is the
one who tapped their money drawer.
Church was taken to the city prison but
removed yesterday to the county jail.
When interviewed there he denied having
any knowledge of the affair and after
being told of his crime he replied that
he must have been very drunk to commit
such a deed. He afterwards said that
Bissel assaulted him on his way home and
that he meant TO teach him a lesson 10
leave people alone when they were mind
ing their own b,Nness. Church viii have
his preliminary Jnis morning a 10 O'Clock
before Justice Enoch. The charge pre-
ferred against him is that of burglary.
and the evidence is SO strong against him
that there is no doubt of MS conviction,
in which event it will go hard with him.

Another very important subject which
was considered yesterday was the pur-
chasing of a Masonic burial ground. Al
though no action was taken, the Masons
are seriously considering the advisabiity
of purchasing property on the West Side,
outside Of the city limits, where their be-
loved dead can be inferred. Should they
buy property there they intend to spare
no expense in making 1t the most beautiful
place in the city. They will spare no
pains in planting handsome shrubbery,
plants and trees. Some are in favor Of
buying a plot of ground in one or the
other of the city cemeteries which will
be for Masons exclusively. However, the
plan to get a place of their own seems
20 be the more favorable one,

CRAZY IN LOVE
Uurequited Love sends Him to the
Asylum,

Yesterday afternoon in the probate court
John Graft was adjudged insane by jury
of six men on the grounds that he was
violently in love with a woman. Gran Is
a German about So years Of age, and has
been a resident Of Wichita but six months.
During that time he boarded with John
Kinseder. who runs d German boarding
house on Water street. In Kinseder's en-
ploy is a young girl Il the same national
itv who is a general favorite Of the board
ers. Since Graff's arrival ne mas been
very persistent in his attention to the
young lady, without. however inspiring
or receiving any affection IN return. This
state of affairs was not pleasing 10 nm
and his jealousy became aroused to SucA
an extent that he, on several occasions
threatened bodily harm to different men
who went with her After that he would
hang around the boarding house in a
silent. moody manner, laughing at times
and breaking into tears al others, and
acting so peculiar that Kinseder thought
best to have his sanity looked into. About
A dozen witnesses were examined and all
told practically the same story and be-
ueved him to be insane. When Gran was
put on the stand he denied being insane
but admitted that he was very much in
love with the girl. In reply 10 an inquiry
as TO why ne did not leave the town and
the girl, he wered that could not do
It and that some day he might marry her.
The girl denies that he will ever do any
thing of the kind and says that she has
no use for him. The Jury retired and
brought in a verdict directing chat he
be sent TO the insane asylum for treat
ment. he being subject TO temporary fits
Of insanity. This case furnishes another
argument for those who believe love is
q form OF insanity
