Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-04-20

The tenement house committee of
THE Good Government clubs, having
effected great Improvements in the
housing of the New York poor, now
presents some figures which must ap-
lpeal even to the greedtest Of capital
lists. Buildings erected on sanitary
principles, with plenty of light and
air, water, heating facilities and other
conveniences, are paying dividends of
from twelve to fifteen per cent, while
the squalid and unhealthy dwellings
beside them can hardly be forced to-
yield five and six per cent. In one
tenement house the average rent of
rooms is eighty-fve cents a week,
land the room has at least one window
with clear sunlight. For every tenant
there is running water and steam heat,
together with free bath and laundry
privileges in the basement. This
building has never paid less than 10
lper cent, while the dilapidated and I'M
comfortable houses which adjoin it
pay only per cent. Here is some
thing for the landlords to think about.

/ A little boy in Ohio, cast adrift on
the world by the sudden death of
father and mother. was found by the
wayside praying for protection from
the hardships seemfffgly imposed upon
his youth. The gentleman who thus
discovered him, millionaire brewer,
took him home and installed him as
one of his own. Though not church.
,goer, he figured that there could not
be much bad in boy who would thus
show his faith in Providence and final
lily he became convinced himself that
he was simply an instrument of Provi-
'dence used in answer to child's faith.
He lately sold out his business and
lis now devoting his life and fortune
to the rescue of other orphaned ones.
Little occurrences OF this nature do
mot find much space for recital in the
newspapers, but whenever they do get
Into print they present convincing
argument that the world is not so bad

Issue of one of our metropolitan pa
jpers. If newspapers would give pref
ference to the good deeds of mankind
there would be little room left for

A HINT FOR SPRING.
When Housekeepers Are Frightening tho
Interiors Of Their Homes.

Interiors OF Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this re-
markable winter is broken, housekeep-
ers are remarlling the dingy look of
the home interior. The question of
new wall coverings is up. Paper Is
dear and short lived; kalsomines are
dirty and scaly; paint is costly. the
use of such a cement as Alabastine,
for instance, will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean,
pure and wholesome. 1t can be put
on with no trouble by anyone; there
is choice of many beautiful tints; and
1t Is long lasting.

graceful said the authorities; double
the guard And they doubled it. Next
day four dozen were missing"

has been reported to the senate by the
committee on the Philippines, is pro-
ivisional measure which puts the ad-
lministration of the islands wholly in

'ther action by congress. The authori-

that under which the president has

Nothing new developed in the Leech
lake trouble yesterday except that
Deputy United States Marshal Picha left
for that place last night Deputy
Marshal Bunde left for that part Of the
state Tuesday nighth and will meet Picha
at Walker today. 1t is understood that
there is & warrant out Cor the arrest Of
Red Blanket, who is with the other IA
dams at Squaw point. and the leaving of
the two deputy narshals for Walker may
have something to do with the serving Of
the paper. Tie United States marshal
is determined to have Ped Blanket here
when wanted, and if the Indians refuse
to give him up there is liable to be trouble
in earnest At the present time this pos
sii5itY seems to be the most dangerous
feature of the situation. United States
Marshal Grimshaw still profezses to be-
lievc that the threatened trouble will fail
to Ma aterialize, but he is, however, max
ing every preparation to queu It, should
the necessity arise.

VALIDITY OF TIE CHARTER
Fr WILL BE ATTACKED IN THE
COURTS BY GETCHELLs
% COUNSEL
POLICE CONFESSIONS POWER
1t VIII Be Considered as General
Proposition Instead of as
GetcheIps Private
Grievance.

Attorney General Douglas yesterday
consented to the use of the states name
in quo warEanto proceedings to be
brought by P! L. Getchell against Chief
of Police J. J. O'Connor, to test the right
Of the latter to hold Office. General
Douglas states that his action in grant
ing the use Of the states name is not to
test the personal eligibility Of Getchel,
but rather to determine the validity of
the charter. and place a construction on
the powers of the police commission.
While this question is the one upon
which the attorney general processes to
grant the use of the states name at the
same time, it means that Mr.. Getchells s
case individually will be decided by the
courts.
General Douglas stated yesterday that
he was not personally inclined to mix
Up in the affair, yet the constitutionality
Of the charter was a matter of import
ance, inasmuch it affected the whole
system of local government, and the po-
lice commission was equally important in
the enforcement of the law, and for once
and all time he believed it for the best
public interest that the constitutionality
of the law be fully passed upon by the
courts.
At the next meeting of the police COM
mission, which may occur at any time
Patrolnan Frank Horn, who was re-
moved by Chief Getchell two months ago
and reinstated. will be promoted to
feutenancy and brought to the central
station. He is now walking a beat at
Fort Smelling. He was formerly a ser
geant, and was on, the desk at central.
1t is understood that John Hammes,
formerly jailer at the central station,
will also be appointed on the force, prob
ably with the rank of sergeant.
