GERMAN LOVEMAKING IN ENG

From the Youths Companion.
She Is a pretty American girl spend

which Mark Twain has so delightfully."-
described; but if her German is so
painful to her neighbors it cannot be
more astonishing than the English to
which she is compelled to listen. She
has written back to her friends in
America the record of her exploits in
belleship and as modestly as is becom-
ing in one with a long line of social
successes
Il must write o an extract, she

officers wrote me. He is stationed at

SURGERY BY TELEPHONE.

From the Philadelphia record
Surgery performed by directions CIV
en- over the t telephone is h latest in
novation at the Hahnemann Hospit-
al. A physician who is connected with
its surgical staff was called up by
phone the other day by a nurse at
the children's hospital in Germantown,
with which institution the physician
is also connected, and was told that
his services were immeditely required
for a child who had d~islocated its
shoulder. Bring the child right up
to the phone" said the surgeon. "All
right. 1 have the child in my arms"
the nurse replied. Now then" said
the physician" place the child's ell
bow against its side and move it's hand
and forearm outward" His directions
were here interrupted by a sharp click
that sounded through h phone as the
dislocated member snapped back into
place. There you are-nicely done,
wasn't it? a the surgeon to the nurse
She replied that the operation had
been most successful, and the physi-
clan returned to his clinic.

MUCH COUNTERFEIT MONEY
IS NOW IN CIRCULATION.
Even the Banks Have Been Victimized
and Secret Service Men are After the
Gang.

For some time past the city has been
flooded with counterfeit money, prin-
cipally silver coins of the denomination
of dollars and halves.
Much OF this bogus money has been
put in circulation and even the banks
have been victimized on several Oc-
casions.
When the imitation is sc perfect that
even bank cashiers cannot detect the
fraud it is apparent that the counter
letters are experts in their line OF bus
mess.
1t is the general belief that a gang
of these bogus money manufacturers is
operating somewhere in the vicinity of
this city. probably south of the border,
and a secrte service man has of late
been making a quiet investigation. The
results of his labors, however, have
not been made known and il The
terfeiters operate in this locality they
have thus far eluded h officers.

SHE SAID SCAT" TO A WILDCAT
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
Lottie Green, of Hanevillc. Clinton
county. Penn, 10 years old. had a
thrilling experience with a large cata-
noun yesterday. She was going to
the barn t do some chores. She saw
the animal near the chicken coop. but:
supposing is to be a strange cat. she
held out her hand and said. cOaxingly,
Come. Kittie."
She noticed the animal was unusually
large for a cat. and had such a large
head and short years. The child then
began to get frightened
She stamped her foot and a
Scat" shaking he- little tin pail at
the same time to car it away, but
failed to do so. Instead the animal
started toward her with a scream. She
turned and fled to the house, the cat
following her to the door. which. as
she slammed it, struck the beast, which
was in the act of springing at her.

MURDER WILL OUT.

Francisco Gonzales Michel. a veal
thv citizen of Tlapa, near Guadalajara,
disappeared and six days later the
Trunk of his body was found in a lake.
Dilipent search was nae for the sew
cred portions of his body but for sew
eral DAYS they could not be found. The
deceased had a mistress named Bernar-
dina Topete. He also had a fine St
Bernard dog and after his death the
dog would go to the home Of Sonora
Topete and howl and rush at h high
gate which was kept locked. The dogs
actions drew the attention of the po-
lice to the house and they let the ami
NAL in. The dog rushed into the patio
and commenced scratching at the earth
The officers assisted it and uncovered
the missing members of the dead mans
body. The woman confessed to muir
dering Michael and although she de-
clares she did the deed unaided, her
brother and a woman who had been
known to threaten Michel's life were
arrested and all jailed. 1t is not known
whether the cause of the murder was
Jealousy or for the purpose Of robbery.
Il is considered certain hat she had an
accomplice for she could not have TAX
en- the body to the lake unassisted.
HAD CREDITABLE AMBITION.
Jose Mondragon, a servant of Sonora
Formento. a wealthy woman of the
City of Mexico, has been carrying on a
systematic robbery of his employer for
a prolonged period, during which time
he accumulated more than $4,000 worth
of jewelry which the lady hadn't miss
ed. He would have been all right and
could have spent the remainder of his
days at ease. if he had not had a de-
sire to travel. He wanted to make a
tour of the United States. This was
an admirable aspiration. but it cost
him his already collected riches n his
liberty. He wante1 $4,000 more and he
wanted it to come in a wad. so he
wrote his ~benefactor a letter threaten
ing her with death if she failed to
leave the desired amoun at a stipulat-
ed place at midnight. She informed
the authorities. they met him and zap
tured him. His home was searched
and the spoils of his many months of
patient purloining were taken from
him. He confessed and will go to
prison.
TROLLEY WIRE THIEF.
The night police patro1ling the cleo
trio railway line between Mixcoac and
San Angel On a recent dark night had
their attention attracted by a strange
noise ABOVE tnem anu IOuHu d Hdh
cutting the trolley wire. He was work
ing systematically and was preparing
to- carry off a large amount of h wire.
II was 2 o'clock in the morning and
the wire thief must have thought the
police would be mapping. for he was
running a great risk. To disturb a
trolley line in Mexico means many
years in prison for the disturber. He
was ordered to descend n did SO. fall
ing into the arms of his captiyes who
hustled him off to Jail.
MOUNTAIN FIRE RAGING.
The Monterey News says that there
is a mountain fire now raging in the
mountains south of that city. The fire
appears to be in the Diente district
n II may turn out to be quite a dan
gerous one. Last year the people of
that district had to fight fire for sew
eral days and many people were ser
icnsly hurt.

MARTYR TO HIS BELIEF.

MARTYR TO HIS BELIEF.
At a meeting of citizens in Farmers
Vile for the purpose of considering
means to put down violations OF local
option and gambling laws. Charles
Dial, of Greenville, was called on and
made a stirring speech in which ne
evidently tread upon several sets OF
toes, for as he went home on the train
tina night he was jumped upon by SIX
men and terribly beaten. When the
train arrived at Greeville his assail-
ants were arrested and jailed. They
are citizens of tarmersville and evil
gently boarded the train with the sole
aurpose of a~ssaulting Dial. Each had
three charges made against him-riot-
ing on a train, assault n carrying a
pistol. They could not give bond
SPRINKLE WITH OIL.
The Houston Herald makes a plea
far the use OF oil as a street sprinkling
suid. The paper says h beaumont
nroIuct can now be secured cheaply
and the sprinkling of streets with it Is
cheaper than with water. 1t can be
sought for so cents a barrel and one
barrel will sprinkle one block OF street
which viii lay the dust from foul TO
eight weeks. Mud puddle streets, as a
result of the use of water. would be
doae away with and the nuisance OF
the endless squirting sprinkler would
also be relegated. Dallas has found
the sprinkling of the streets with oil
TO be a success and it is being used on
the streets of other towns in the state.

able deeds and other private papers

tive z p. m. last Friday and z a.

curiously and taking note of locations
of things in the store. but Mr.. Gangler

CAPT. M'ADOO DEAD.
Cast Scion L. McAdoo died at his
home in San Antonio Friday evening

age at the time of his death. He was
a noted architect and drew the plans

lures. He had been a member OF the
nilitia since 1889 and made the sue
cessive steps from private to captain.

Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-10-30

According to the report Of the ma
tional commissioner of education, %
per cent of the population of the Uni
ted States attend school. The total
number enrolled last year as school
children aggregated 1920, TO, an ip-
crease of 282, 348 over the previous
year. Kansas, however, holds the
palm in the matter of school attend
ance. The population of the state is
less than a million and a half, yet the
reports of the State Superintendent
Nelson show that the number attend
ing schools in the state is sos, 600, a
little over 80 per cent. This, it is
thought, is due probably to the fact
that the educational advantages for
the masses are better in Kansas than
anywhere and that there are fewer
large cities.
