very popular melodrama. 1.-The Stow
away and with the aid of his partner,
kid Mccoy shows how easy it is to
crack a safe, is a well informed ex-
burglar and in his day was doubtless
credit to his profession. The story of his
early life is shrouded in mystery, for it
is the enc subject that he will not dis
cuss even with his intimates. He is a
fluent talSer, has read a great deal and
is an. authority on burglar lore. Like
Claude Duval, the celebrated highway
man, he is extremely fastidious about
the cut and color of his clothes.
"DuvaI," said HennesSey, in converse
ton about oId-time robbers the other
day, was in his early life a footman in
the employ of the Duchess of Ports
mouth, who turned him out of doors for
thieving. Perhaps the plush he had
once worn had entered into his soul and
he could not divorce himself from a love
for radiant garments. Macleane was
another famous highwayman and
dandy in dress, who gracefully held up
people in the time of George II. He
was remarkable for the splendid attire

THE MYSTERY OF THAT
DEMENTED MAN ANDREW

There appears to be some little mys-
terry connected with the man who was
taken in charge by Sheriff Yund yes,
terday because of his peculiar actions
at the depot. He is unquestionally
mentally unbalanced, but is not vio-
lent. Indeed, his insanity is a genial
sort and he takes life and incarcera-
ton in Jail very cheerfully. When ask
ed what his nam is he says, "Oh, call
me Andrew" And that is all he can
be induced to say. There was not a
single thing found on his person that
would indicate where he came from or
give any clue to his identity. He is
tolerably well dressed and his hands
are calloused. Nobody here recalls
having ver seen him before. He is
now in the county Jail.

painful wound but DR.. Miller, who at

Mission Church at Seventh and

Made for Simple Physical Exer-
cises in the Public Schools.

The school board had a long meet
ing yesterday in which a number of
things were decided upon. The most
important thing was the measure TAX
en- to relieve the crowded condition
of the public schools. Gradually since
the opening day the enrolment has in
creased so that there is not room in
the buildings for all the pupils. 1t
was absolutely necessary to secure
some other accommodations and to
employ more teachers.
After considering many plans the
board decided to rent the Swedish mis-
sion church at Seventh and Garfield
streets. 1t is large enough to accom-
modate W DON Work was begun
this morning putting the building in
shape for use and by the first of next
week at the latest it will be ready for
occupancy.
In the matter of teachers, the board
decided to employ Miss Rena Stryker,
who has been a substitute, as a regular
teacher and to give Miss Agnes Klee-
man the position of substitute teacher.
Misses Moore and Hartley will prob
ably be assigned to the church build
ing, while Miss Stryker will be placed

Physica Culture.

The subject of physical culture vas
taken up and the board decided not
to employ a professional instructor,
but will make arrangements with Mrs.
Roger to give every teacher five les
sons in physical culture. The teachers
will then put the pupils through GER
tain simple calisthenics, giving them
enough exercise in the school room to
relive the tedium and the WEAKNESS of
sitting through the school day. 1t was
thought this would accomplish the de-
sired end at a much smaller cost than
would be entailed in the employment
Of a regular instructor in this line.
The subject of school savings-6anks
for the children came up for some dis
c%ussion, but inasmuch as reports had
been received from eastern cities
that the scheme had not worked sat
~isfactorally there, the board decided
not to undertake it here.
