The report of Assistant Superintendent
Campbell in regard to the judiciary
building follows:
Sir: ! have the honor to report as
follows in regard to condition of roof
in judiciary building:
Many of the leaks in the roof are
caused by the states and shingles be-
ing broken and cracked, and the joints
being over each other; also the shingles
are loose and are falling down on ac-
count of the nails being eaten away by
rust.
The rafters in many places have set
tied so as to leave a hole on the ce-
ment ridge, allowing the water to leak
down on the ceiling
The valley gutterways are in very
bad condition. Many of these cutters
are of copper and are beyond perma-
nent repair. The lead flashing on tho
front veranda needs replacing. All
veranda roof needs painting and repairs
Many of the ceiling joists In roof are
badly eaten, and bolts and spices are
slack. which causes the tie beams to set
tler and breaks the plaster In many
rooms.
The accompanying sketch shows the
location of all leaks. etc.
| have the honor TO be, your obedient
servant, MARSTON CAMPBELL

Works

He has also brought seed which will

Mr.. Hartman is of the opinion that the
Dutch rule in Java, while decidedly OBJ
posed to the methods of American ruiz.
is of character to obtain the best re
suits from the 23,000,G0O of inhabitants.
1t is land of few beggars, ana the,
natural born thriftiness of the Dutch
race has been instilled into the Javanesc'
and tn" many mixtures of people, so that
every able bodied man is made to work
If only to keep his rice patch in condi-,
ton to supply his needs. The govern.
ent of the Dutch in Java is carried on
by governor. who has unusual powers,
hut AZ the inhabitants are tractable ana
submissive, the relations OF the govern
ing ana governed are cordial One of
the laws OF the country is that every
man must do some kind OF work other

es them to keep busy.
Mr.. Hartman says that Java is covered

IN NEGRO
HUNT Is WANING

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 1--'Bossie'
Francis, the murderer of Miss Nary
Henderson at Columbus, Mo, last
Tuesday, has not yet been apprehend-
ed, and many people believe that he
is no longer near the vicinity OF John
son county. rfoc
There is no conclusive evidence that
the man whom the posse was after last
night near Strasburg and Pleasant
Hill, was Francis. The only persons
and today they told Deputy Sheriff
Temple of Johnson county that they
saw man running from the railroad
tracks to the woods, but they could not
tell whether he was a negro or white
man.
A negro was taken off a freight train
at Harrisonville late last night, but
he was not the man wanted.
Sheriff Koch. at Warrensburg today,
was notified that a negro was arrested
early this morning at Clinton, Mo, and
a photograph of the prisoner will be
sent to the sheriff for Identification.
No effort was made to find Francis
in Johnson county today. He is be-
lieved to be in Cass or Henry county,
and a few arm~7 men are searching
for him in those counties.
Posses left Pleasant Hill and Lees
Summit this afternoon to prosecute the
hunt between those towns, as they had
heard that a negro answering the de-
description of Francis had been seen
in that feighborhOOd today. Every
rumOr is being investigated. but as all
clues thus far have led to false trails.
new reports do not inspire confidence.
Informa ton against Charles and
Flank Brisco and Emmett Davenport
charging them with being accessories
after the fact for the murder of Miss
burg. Their preliminary hearing will
be held Wednesday at Warrensburg.
