WAR AGAINST HIGH PRICES.

When we hear of what some people pay for
goods we can understand why we have such a
big run of trade We never intend to stop
selling goods at low prices as long as we re-
main in business, and | will next say that, rs
long as you pay big profits You will never be
able to save money, or be comfortably fixed
financially So take advice and buy for cash

THE LIFE OF THE Gun.

1t requires considerable time to load and
fire one of these bic guns if care be taken
to aim properly so as to strike the target
probably one round i'll three minutes is as
fast as the gun can be efficiently handled.
The great guns of battle ships are great in
every sense of the word; for instance, the
new guns in our navy are 4O-calibers long
that is, forty times the diameter of the
bore of the gun will give the length of the
gun; II inch gun is 40 feet long. Some
of our 13-inch pieces are only 35 calibers
long-about 38 feet The weight of the
12-inch gun alone is 45 tons, that Of the
13-inch 60 tons; the Pelayo's 12.5-inch
gun weighs 48 tons, the ll-inch 33 tons.
An extremely important point in con-
nection with all large caliber guns is that
which relates to the lie of the gun. Af
ter certain number of rounds are fired
from the gun the piece begins to lose its
accuracy, owing to defects in the bore, due
to what is called erosion, which is the wear
and tear of rihing. 1t has been intimated
that 13-inch gun can only be fired about
800 times before the bore will begin to
show signs of wearing out; 12-inch gun
can be fired about 400 times.

Opening of Schools Yesterdny-The
Music Curriculum.

The public schools opened yesterday with
an estimated attendance of 5000 pupils,
who will be under the instruction Of six hun
dred teachers. There was only a halliday
session for the pupils, but the teachers were
busy all day. 1t was an exceedingly smooth
opening, made so by the careful prepara-
ton made by Superintendent d. X Goss
and Assistant Superintendent Miss Cropsey.
1t is found that there is a lack of seating
accommodation in the eastern part of the
city, and many OF the pupils have had to be
changed to more western school than
their district wouldy ordinarily call for. This
is matter of regret to those in chare
that any children should have such a dis
lance between their homes and the schools,
but 1t is a matter that cannot be helped at
present. Children's seats have had to be
counted and assignments carefully made.
School work begins at once and it is
matter of progress to report that each year

Johns wrist, crushing it. She was carried

ambulance attendants refused to do. and it
was necessary to wait until the City Dis

a great crowd had gathered around the drug

The wheelman who caused Miss Johns
injury remained on the scene for a time, but
he was not arrested. Witnesses disputed as
to whether he was riding too fast or at
moderate gait. He said he was riding slow

agreed upon a verdict?''
I'VE have,' said Foreman Dickey, ris-

Judge Hazen took it and spread it out
before him.
The stiffness in the court room seemed
to deepen The attorneys fairly held
their breath.
Judge Hazen glanced at the paper a
moment, but there was nothing in his
countenance to denote what it revealed.
Then he picked it up and breaking the
awful stiffness in the dimly lighted
court room, read:
"State of Kansas versus John Henry
Collins. We, the jury in the above en-
titled case, do upon our oaths, find the
defendant guilty of murder in the first
degree, as charged in the information" :"
1t was the declaration of the twelve
men who had listened to the evidence
and arguments in the case day after
day for four weeks, that John Henry
Collins was the murderer Of his father.
And how did John Henry Collins take

SOME BE1ATED EVIDENCE
In Relation to the Missing Gun Case
is Unearthed Today.

On the morning of May 19, the day j.
S. Collins was murdered, Robert Cow
herd, the janitor of the StOrmont build
ing on West Sixth street, and Clinton
Wallace, a. clerk in the Knights and
Ladies Security office, saw John Collins
enter the building about o'clock with
a package under his arm.
Neither Mr.. Cowherd or Mr.. Wallace
are in town, but the story comes from
lace, the father of Clinton Wallace. The
story did not come out until Saturday
afternoon after the case had gone to the
jury. Then it was reported to County
Attorney Jetmore by Colonel Sam
Radges. Frank Ellison was told and
hunted for the two men, but as they
were out of town spending Christmas he
could not find them.
DR. Warner is certain that the story
is true, as he had it from the two men.
He says Wallace thought it was about
Z o'clock when Collins came into the
building and borrowed the key to the
closet from him.
Collins was gone but a very short time
when he returned the key to Cowherd
Those in the office understand that
when Collins went into the closet he
had a small package under his arm, and
that when he came out he did not have
it.
Sheriff Cook searched the closet this
morning but did not find the missing
gun case, which was supposed to have
been in the package. No one can be
found who was in the building at the
time, but Frank Ellison is Of the opinion
that the gun case was found in the
closet between Saturday night and this
