KANSAS NEWS.
LeavenWOrth Worried on Ac-
count of Low Record
Of the Enrolment in the Pub
lie Schools.
LOWEST IN THE STATE.
The LeaVenWOrth Times Seeks
an Explanation.
Other Kansas News of General
Interest.
LOWEST IN THE STATE.

Leavenworth, Jan. 27.-The Times
contains a leading article on the small
propOrtionate enrolment of pupils in
the public schools at Leavenworth. The
Times says:
The tables just published by J. w.
Amis, assistant superintendent of pub
lie instruction, give the school pOpula-
ton by counties and also the total en-
rollment.
Leavenworth county appears with a
total enrolment of only 1921, but
foot note appended to the tables ex-
plains that the city schools are not in
Guided. The public schools Of the city
have an enrolment of about 5000 pu-
pills. Adding this to the figures for the
county We get 66Z1, which is about
in of the population. That is consid-
erably lower than the average for the
state Il in 31a).
The low average for LeavenwOrth
county is, however, due to the small
number in attendance at the public
schools in the city. The 5000 pupils in
the city only give an average OF about
1 in ~ of the population. As a matter
of fact it appears that the public SchOlS
in this city have a smaller enrolment
than all the rest of the county, though
the population of the city is double that
of the remainder of the county.
The public school enrolment of IeaV
enworth county is about 5000 below
what it should be, judging from other
counties of the state, and the deficiency
is almost altogether in the city.
There seems to US to be three main
reasons for this condition of affairs.
The first and most obvious is that
LeavenwOrth city is equipped more
largely with UNCONVENTIONAL schools
Catholic, German Lutheran, etc) than
any other locality in the state. We can
not give the numbers in attendance at
these schools, but do not believe the
disparity between Leavenworth and
other places in this respect accounts
for one-third of the Leavenworth def
cheney.
Secondly, the schools are overcrOwded
and there is a serious lack of accom-
mediation in the existing school build
ings.
Some parts of the city are practically
out of reach of a school building. There
is an unquestiOned need of more room
in the schools.
The third reason is interviewer with
the second, and is aggravated by 1t. 1t
is that the law of the state is not en-
forced, and the children between the
ages of and IA are not compelled to at
tend.
Hosts of children must be growing up
in ignorance.

LOOKS BAD FOR MARSH.
Ex-Colorado Convict Must Stand Trial
Charged With the Murder of
A. Vega

Phillipsburg, Jan. 27-The brutal muir
der of A. Vega in his place of business
in Phillipsburg on the night of Decem-
Der 14th, seems to be about cleared
up.
Soon after the murder was committed
suspicion pointed to one Ed Marsh
barber who was at work in a shop in
Phillipsburg at the time. He was ar
rested, charged with assault with in
tent to kill, but released soon after and
held on another charge of stealing, and
confined in Jail, and is now serving out
his sentence.
Subsequent developments show that
in all probability he is the fellow
wanted for the murder of Mr.. Vega.
Marsh was at one time a convict in the
Colorado penitentiary, sent there for
burglary, and gaining entrance to
store in about the same manner as the
store of Mr.. Vega was entered The
coroner's jury returned a sealed verdict
after being in session with closed doors
for several days.
A detective was here some time
working on the case, and while the cor
oner's jury is sworn to secrecy, it is
the general belief Marsh will be imme-
diately re-arrested, charged with the
murder of Mr.. Vega, as soon as he is
turned loose from the jail sentence. He
is now serving for theft. Marsh fed
from Phillipsburg on the night of the

to him. He at first denied that he had

that he was a deserter.

soURED ON PORT ARTHUR.
Pittsburg Agent Claims the Company
Mistreated Him.

Pittsburg, Jan. 27.-James w. Hughes,
who has for almost two years been
closely identified with the promotion of
Port Arthur, has severed his connec-
ton from the company on account OF
the company's treatment of him. Mr..
Hughes is outspo1en with regard to the
cause which led him to take this step.
He gave up the rental and local real
estate business which he had at the
time that he accepted the local agency
or rather the Crawford county agency
for the sale of Port Arthur property.
He claims that he was to be the sole
agent in Crawford county employed by
the company, but he claims that the
company far from abiding by that
agreement have placed other agents in
the field which he believed was his, and
his solely Since Port Arthur property
has been handled by other Pittsburg
parties, he estimates that he has lost in
the neighborhoOd of 81, 800 in commits
sions realized by other agents and he
feels that his total loss by way of com
missions which others had realized
would aggregate for the p months he
represented the company close to $4,000.
He has made a demand upon Mr.. Still
well for this amount.

FIGHT FOR CONVERTS.
Methodist and Episcopal Churches
Contend For Saved Souls at
OskaIOosa

Oskaloosa, Jan. IA religious con-
trOversy of an unusual nature is in pro-
gress at OskalOosa. The Methodist and
Episcopal churches are contending for
the converts made at a recent revival.
The revival was conducted by the
Methodists, but most of the converts
We're induced to join the opposition
church on account of a sermon by the
Episcopalian minister, in which he APP
proved dancing. The converts were
young people who desired to affiliate
with the church, but did not want to
give up dancing. The Methodist pastor
did not relish the idea of losing the
fruits of his work. and, after engaging
in a personal quarrel with his EpiscO-
palian brother, has now decided to have
the matter brought to the attention of
the bishop of the diocese.
