HOW MUCH CRIMINALS COST.
A Great Deal More Expensive to the
State Than School Teachers.

Superintendent Stryker has prepared
a lecture which he means to make use
of at school meetings throughout the
state in which he draws a comparison
in the expenditure of funds for taking
care of the criminal classes and in edu-
eating the children of the state. He
says that the cost to a county for the
transportation of a prisoner to the pen
itentiary is from one to three times
greater than the average monthly sal
airy of the Kansas school teacher ana
that in the majority of cases the con-
Vlction of single criminal costs more
than would an extra month of School
He reasons that with more education
there would be less criminality.

Letter to Insurance Agents.

Insurance Commissioner McNaH has
addressed the following self-explanaio-
ry letter to insurance agents through
out the state:
My attention is called to the fact
that a large number of insurance
agents, duly licensed by this depart
ment for the purpose of doing fire in
surance business in this state, nave
employed men as sub-agents to solicit
and without any fees having been ten
dered or paid. The same is in violation
of law and if the practice is not desist-
ed from in the future and licenses ia
ken out for the sub-agents, I will re-
woke the licenses of the aforesaid agents
who are so employing sub-agents. This

of the tub about the original name. It

Diogenes was a notorious Grecian
cynic. He complained bitterly of 9TH
ers and lived in a tub. In looking for
a new name for the vessel of that name
recently purchased, the secretary of the
navy at once thought of Topeka as
perfect synonym. Now will Topeka I'M

There is an old fashioned editor down
at Coffeyvi1le, Kan, who thinks that
newspapers mold public opinion. The
best and biggest newspapers reflect
public opinion. 1t would be interesting
for the Coffeyville editor to try to

hibition at Leavenworth. His paper
would soon be Wondering instead Of
molding. People don't want their
opinions nodded.

Columbia, Mo-, April 13.-The wives
of the Missouri university professors,

friends and proper advice regarding
their boarding places and the studies
they wish to pursue.
The association will also endeavor to
promote social college entertainments.
Mrs. L. M Defoe, of Columbia, was
elected temporary chairman, and Miss
Myrtle Knepper, of Fairfax, Mo, was
elected secretary. A constitution was
adopted and committees appointed to
transact the business of the federation.
Similar declarations of women have been
organized at Michigan and Wisconsin
universities. The Missouri Federation
will be patterned after the former.

POWER IN WATER.
How a Little Mountain Brook in New
York State Is Made to Give Up
Light and Power.

The ease with which small streams
of water can be turned to account for
supplying electric light and power is
well illustrated in an installa ton
which has been completed at a sani-
tarium il the heart of the Sullivan
county mountains, where a saving il
fuel would naturally be of exception
able desirability. A brook which flows
through the property is part of the
headwaters of the Delaware river. 1t
has a fall of 20 feet on the estate, but
it is at best an exceedingly small
stream. In order to get the water stor-
age it was necessary to build dam $50
feet across and 20 feet high. This
made a basin Of nearly a mile in area,
and holds water enough to run the en-
tire plant so days without rain. The
dam was built entirely of stone hevn
on the site. The sanitarium consists
of six large frame buildings, built on
various hills, and included in a radius
Of half a mile. Not only are all these
buildings generously lighted within.
but the grounds and walks are studded
with 1oo-hour long burning arcs. and
the tourist coming suddenly on this
distant mountain nook could imagine
himself in a city suburb. The plant is
running so successfully that it would
seem worth the while of any large in
stitution or other requiring light and
power to investigate any water power
no matter how unpretentious-in the
vicinity. Such an installation as that
mentioned should with ordinary man.
agement, very quickly pay for itself
in the saving of fuel and other ad-
yantages.
