The principal events OF the day were the
steeplechase and the Bennings spring han

former and Boney Boy the latter. In the
steepIechase there were the usual falls
and accidents. There was a good start

Kansas City, Kan, April 3.-The boy
pupils of the Long school. to the num-
Der of 200, went on a strike Monday
when the bell rang at o'clock. The
cause of the rebellion was ostensibly
the fact that a case of smallpox had
developed at the house of A. Morris,
1888 North Sixth street and next door
to the school yard.
The first boys as they reached the
school saw the guards patrolling in the
front and rear of the infected house.
They began to talk of the danger of at
tending school which is 200 feet away.
The sentiment against such an exposure
OF health grew rapidly as the pleasant
heat of the sun made itself felt and
finally 200 of the boys marched away
from the school grounds in body. They
went south to the Quindaro boulevard
about a block away and all of them
mounted the coping of the stone wall
which surrounds the home of Thomas
J. Barker. the banker at Sixth street
and the boulevard. There they sat
while the 8 o'clock bell rang and the
girls and a few of the boys marched
into school, The session of the school
was short, for the school authorities had
already decided not to hold school today
on account of the scare caused by the
smallpox in the neighborhood.
Morris caught the disease from his
brother, who is down with the same
malady, at SAT Winona avenue about
block west of the school. He became
i'll last Saturday morning. The health
authorities moved the patient from the
house next to the school last night. The
house and premises will be thoroughly
diSinfected. The school will probably be
opened in a short time.

consisted of $500 closely typewriter

1t is said that the attorneys for the
