Mr.. WILSON EXPLAINS.
Chairman of School Building Com
mittee Denies Charges.

W. H. Wilson. chairman of the com
mittee on building of the board of edu-
cation takes exceptions to some of the
statements made at last Monday nights
meeting of the board relatives to the
high price paid for the hanging of wall
paper.
The statement was made'' said Mr.
Wilson, that we paid % cents for
hanging paper when II cents was the
highest charged by other paper hang
ers. The fact is we paid % cents a roll
for having ingram paper hung with
the edges butted together and not lap
ped. This ingram paper was only a
part of that hung and the only paper
that cost 25 cents to hang 1t is a half
width wider than the other paper and
at % cents a roll the price was at the
same ratio as other paper, two-thirds
as wide at Is % cents. The statement
was made that no other hangers
charged p cents. The fact is other pa
per hangers charge 20 cents for hanging
and cents for sizing, while the 25 cent
price covered all. This seems like a re-
Election on the building committee

LeavenwOrth, Kan, Oct. 3.-Former
Captain OberIin Carter of the army
engineer corps, is expected to arrive at
the federal penitentiary this week.
Warden AGcClaughey stated to day that
he would be treated the same as other
prisoners. If he is found to be a good
penman, he will probably be made clerk
at the hospital and assist in keeping
the records for the Berti1lOn system of
measurements.
Captain Carriers ability as a civil en-
gineer may also be utilized in making
drawings and estimates for the new
penitentiary. Although five thousand
soldiers have been incarcerated in the
government penitentiary here, Carter is
the first army officer to be given cell.

in spite of the manifest superiority of

easily outruns, Outreaches, and out
points the Shamrock in winds from
fresh down to light.

The prices at the Topeka restaurants
are liable to take a sudden jump unless
some expected events do not take
place.
The walters union will force up the
wages of restaurant employees and as
meats are going up the prices will pro-
badly go likewise. Several restaurant

will not advance prices except on choice
cuts of steak which will be advanced
from five to ten cents on the order. If
the price of other meats continues to

GROWING EVIL.
Absence of High School Girls During
Study Hours to Be Checked

A meeting of the teachers of the To-
pe6a high school was held Tuesday af-
ternoOn for the purpose of devising a
means to prevent scholars leaving the
school during study hours in the morn
ing.
The meeting was directly the result
of the discovery that five young lady
students, members of we'll known fam
lies, had been in the habit of leaving
the school almost daily during the time
they We're supposed to be at study.
The parents knew nothing of the alb
sence of their daughters from school,
and the young ladies used the time as
best suited them, some of them to meet
their young gentlemen friends.
There has been more or less trouble
of this kind in past years at the high
school. Not long ago a Topeka man,
while walking through the state house.
discovered his daughter in company
with a young man that he would under
no circumstances allow to call at his
home. The girl was supposed to be at
school studying.
From this time on honor will not
be depended upon to such a great ex-
tent at the high school. and teachers
will see that students do not absent
themselves from the study room for
any length of time.
