THE sraA0 COLLAPSED.
cwenty-One Persons Killed and ESQ In
iured at Glasgow, Scotland, During the
Internal onal Football Match.

Glasgow, April THE casualty
lists of the Ibrox park disaster, when
number of persons were killed or
injured by the collapsing Of a specta-
tors stand during the international
football match Saturday between En-
gland and Scotland, have been COM
pleted. They eclipse all the reports
and estimates of the casualties
current Saturday night. The disas-
ter has resulted in the death of 81
persons and the injury of $50.
The action of the authorities at
tbrox park in averting a panic by
permitting the game to proceed,
while they encouraged the impress
sion of the crowd within the enclo-
cure that the accident was not so
aireful is now generally commended.
The incongruity of the yells of APP
plause mingling with the groans of
the struggling sufferers will never
DE forgotten by those who witnessed
the scene at the rear of the terrace.

VICTORY FOR KANSAS.
United States Supreme Court Overrules
COlorado's Demurrer in the Arkansas
River Irrigation Case.

Washington, April s.-The United
States supreme court, in an opinion
delivered by Chief Justice Fuller Mon
day, overruled the demurrer of the
state of Colorado in the case of the
state of Kansas versus the state of
Colorado. The case involves the right
of Colorado to appropriate for pur-
poses of irrigation the waters of the
Arkansas river which Kansas sought
by an original action to restrain on
the ground that the stream flows
through Kansas and the people of the
latter state are injured by Colorado's
appropriation of the water. Colo
RADIO contested the jurisdiction of the
court in the case and filed demur
rer. The chief justice said that the
case is one in which the court can
properly assume jurisdiction. He
said also that the action of the court
in overruling the demurrer was in
tended to be without prejudice, but
was taken because the Importance OF
the case is such that it should not
be decided without full proof on the
questions set up in the allegations OF
damage made by the state of Kansas

POOR OLD ST. LOUIS.
Grand Jury Says Bribery and Corruption
Exists in City Affairs to an APP

ST. Louis, April Most sensation
Il charges are. made by the February
grand jury which has been Investigate
ing bribery and official corruption in
the municipal assembly, in it's final
report to the criminal court Satur-
day. The report declares that the
people of st. Louis have but a vague
conception of the extent to which
corruption and venality have for the
past ten years existed among the
sworn officers and public servants. 1t
finds the true condition of affairs al
most too appalling for belief. The
persons against whom indictments
for bribe-giving and bribe-taking have
been returned are but small per-
centage of those whom inquiry con-

garb Of convicts. These indictments,
already made public, were returned
by the grand jury: Bribery, Robert

A PECULIAR CASE.
Through Some Legal Technically Thomas
Potter, of Carthage, Has Been Left
with Two Wives.

Joplin, Mo-, April 7.-One of the
most peculiar cases ever in Jasper
county courts is that of Thomas Pot
ter, of Carthage, who legally has two
wives and cannot be charged with a
criminal offense. Several years ago
Potter left wife and family at
Connellsville, Pa, and came west, To-
eating at Carthage. Suit for divorce
was brought and secured and he mar
ried again inside of a week. The
Pennsylvania wife, learning of the
second marriage, began legal pro-
ceedings in the circuit court. A legal
technicality was discovered. Judge
Perkins set aside the decree of di-
gorce, leaving Potter with two wives,
yet he is not charged with bigamy.
The second wife lives in Oklahoma.

FIRST MINISTER TO CUBA.
HI. G. Squiers. Secretary of the American
Legat on at Pekin. Selected for Inn
portant Diplomatic Post.

Washington, April I'll. c. Squiers,
secretary of the American legation at
Pekin, has been selected to be United
States minister to Cuba. The selec-
ton fell to Mr.. Squiers on account
of his enviable record in the service
in China. His conduct during the
trouble in China, and particularly dur
ing the absence of Minister Conger,
was marked by conservatism and wis
dom that won the warm approval of
the state department. The president
believes Mr.. Squiers possesses just
the diplomatic experience and ability
required of the first United States
minister to the new republic of Cuba.

NO MORE FoOT-BINDING.
Recently Issued Which Indicate That
Customs Are Being AbrOgated.

Washington, April 5.-The state de-
partment made public copies of two
Chinese edicts, which were sent by
United States Minister Conger at
Picking under date of February 5.
These edicts indicate the loosening
of the bonds of custom and the pres
emit trend toward a new order of
things. The first edict removes the
prohibition of inter-marriage between
Manchus and Chinese, and is of polit-
ical significance, says Mr.. Conger, as
indicating a desire to emphasize less
strongly the distinction between
rulers and ruled. 1t also bids Chi
nese officials and gentry to persuade
Chinese women to do away with the
old custom of foot-binding and let
their extremities grow as nature in.

Production of Wheat Promises to

Chicago, April S.-American farm
krs seeded last fall 32,000,00O acres
Of winter wheat, an area 100000 in
s1 ess- of that which they reaped in
the summer. This great planting, far
surprising any other in the history
Of American farming, will offset the
damage, done to the wheat crop by
tho long drought of the fall and win
te.'. and careful inquiry in the wheat
producing states gives reason to be-
icve that the crop of this year will
be as large as, if not trifie larger,
than the mountaineering crop of last
year, despite all the losses that have
been suffered. A painstaking survey
of the present wheat situation indi-
Gates that nature has made amends
In these last four weeks for the ear
Ger drought, and that the imperiled
wheat prospects are, to a great ex-
tent, restored.
The Kansas wheat condition is es-
timated at "a per cent, against los
in April last year. The area was
originally increased IL per cent, to
5,SS3,000 acres, but IS per cent. has
been plowed up, so that the area is
4,s25,000 acres against 5,25O,000 last
year. The prospect is for a yield
of about 65,OO0,OOO bushels. The con-
dition of the whole Pacific coast,
however, is ideal, and Missouri, Hi
nois and Nebraska all promise high
yields. ,,Missouri's acreage has in
creased by 100000 acres. In Missouri
the wheat condition is 90 per cent,
and the area is estimated at 81 per
cent. larger than last year, or 2,449.-

Decide on a Plan.

1t is gratifying to note the enthu-
siasm with which the people of the
town are taking hold of the new
school building idea. If there be
any kickers or croakers they are not
in evidence. Nor is it surprising
that this should be a popular subject.
as it so closely concerns every par,
ent who has at heart the true vel
fare of his offspring. Money invest
ed in brains always yields large div
idends and it is no mere platitude
to say that a young mar or woman
who enters the battle of life armed
and equipped with a practical educa-
ton is better off than one with an in
heritance of money or real estate and
nothing more
Everybody seems to agree that we
shall have the new building, but
there is a slight difference of opin-
ion as to the method of raising the
necessary funds. We have already
discussed the two plans under con-
sideration and expressed an opinion
as to the more expedient; but we are
welded to neither to the exclusion
of the other. If the bonding plan
meets with more general approval by
all means let us have it. What we
want to see is the building a reality
and We stand ready to further any
scheme whereby that may be accom-
plished. 1t is a matter for the peo-
pie to determine as to which plan
should be adopted, and in order to
work more intelligently We would
suggest that they get together at
once and decide upon a plan.
That the new building is "a neces-
sity no one disputes; that it is pos
we are all agreed. Now the
thing to do is to fix upon a method
of procedure and bend every energy
to carry it out as speedily as possible.
