HAS FORGOTTEN HIS NAME
Harry Annert Remembers Nothing
of Past 81 Years.

Harry Annent is in the city Jail and he
says that the name he gave IS not the
right one. but one given him two years
ago when he recovered from an attack Of
brain fever. He is y years of age, and
two years ago he woke up and found
himself in Concordia, and all Of his past
life was n blank. He does not know
where his home is. where he had been or
what he was doing before he reached
Concordia. All ne knows is that-one day
he woke UP and there was a nurse
standing over him The nurse told him
that he was found along the railroad
track three weeks before. and he had
been delirious ever since. He did not
know what his name was at that time.
nor has he been able to find it. The doc
tor gave him name when he left the
institution They told him he had no let
ters when taken to the hospital, and as
he did not know his own name, the doctor
gave him the name Of Harry Annent
which was the name of a dead son of the
doctor
The young fellow has been knocking
about Kansas and Oklahoma since then,
working at odd jobs. and landed in
Wichita a few days ago. He loafed
around the depots a great deal. and as
he had no visible occupation. an officer
took him to the station and locked him up
as 4 vag.

guilt
When Mr.. Creaser went to his barns
yesterday morning to feed his horses. he
noticed that two sets of harness. which
were hanging in the stable the night be-
fore, were missing. Going outside Of the
barn. he discovered indications in the
grass where the harness had been
dragged out to the road where II had
then been placed in a buggy The buggy
had a wobbly wheel and as the ground
was soft. he could easily follow the
buggy by the track OF the wheel. He fol-
lowed 1t until it turned in toward the
house of Mr.. widows, four miles north
west Of Valley Center
When he came to the end of the tracks
he rode on to Valley Center and tele-
phoned to Sheriff Simmons to come at
once. Mr.. Simmons came 10 Valley Cen
ter on the morning Santa Fe train and
together the sheriff and Mr. Creaser went
to the home of Mr. widows.
No one was about on the premises
but one young man and Mr. Simmons
and Mr.. Creaser looked over the place
carefully. but found nothing.
In order TO throw the young man off
his guard. Mr.. Creaser represented THAI
he wanted to find someone TO work for
him and Dir. Simmons passed himself OF
as land buyer.
Mr.. widows and his three sons were
working in the field five miles away from
the house and Mr. Simmons and his com
panion decided to interrogate them. on
the way to the field M Simmons found
q place where a horse had rolled and
leading from there he saw trail He
followed this trail to the straw stack in
the field. He placed his hand on the
strawstack, felt around carefully and
finally pulled out a sack OF harness.
He told Mr.. Widows that he believed
some one Of the family had stolen the
harness and asked which one had been
away from home the night before. Mr.
Widows replied that Lon and Meredith
had. They were then placed under ar
rest and started towars the county Jail
ON the way Mr.. Simmons accused them
Of the offense, bat they denied IT, Finally
SO it is alleged, one Of them asked Mr..
Simmons if he got both sacks Of harness.
Mr.. Simmons had not known before that
two sacks OF harness had been taken.
but as soon as the young man had said
that he was asked by the sheriff what
ne knew about two sacks and again was
accused OF the robbery. Mr. Simmons
stated last night that the young man con
fessed and stated that there was another
sack Of harness in the straw stack.

The latest plan of Wichita burglars

girl was giving a party to some OF her
friends and the children. together with
Mrs. DonneIly, we're IN the front part
of the house. Mr.. DOnnelly was not at
home. About 10 O'Clock Mrs. Donnelly
heard noise coming from the direction
OF the pantry and upon entering the hall
she saw a man on a ladder who was
about to enter the window. She was
badly frightened. and exclaimed:
What does this mean
The burglar was fearful that Mrs.Don-
nelly would summon assistance and he
decided to make his escape while he had
a chance. He scrambled down the lad
der. took it away from the window. ran
into the street where he dropped the
ladder and continued his fight 10 a
place of safety.
Yesterday morning the ladder was
found in the street. It had been stolen

freight rates from the Mississippi river

rate scents on -four from this city to
Chicago for export.
Three weeks ago the Missouri Pacific
and Frisco announced a cut of 10 cents
per JOG pounds on wire and nails from
Mississippi points to Wichita. The rate
was s. cents This reduction meant the
saving OF more than $4,000 10 the whole
sale and retail merchants of this city.
About 80 cars OF wires and nails are
used here every year and this reduction
OF SO per car amounts to a considerable
sum. Now comes the announcenet

Or the Verge of Bright's Disease. A Quick Cure
 that Lasted.

CASE NO. 3O.611-C. E. Boies, deal- CT in grain and feed, 505 South Water Street, Akron, O., made the following statement in 1896, he said: "Ever since the Civil War have had attacks of kidney and bladder troubles, decid- edly worse during the last two or three years. Although 1 consulted physicians, some of whom told me I was yerging on Bright's disease, and l was continually using standard rem edies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoulder blades, still existed. As might be expected when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition, there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kid ney secretions. A box of Doan's Kid ney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a de- cided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly az gravated, disappeared"

SOUTHERN EDUCATION
TIME FOR AN AWAKENING.
what Are the Parents of the Chill dren of the South Thinking
 About.

he Fredericksburg, Va, Free Lance has the following to say about the public schools of Virginia When it IS remembered that these conditions prevail throughout the south and are even worse in some of the southern states, we can see the force of the Free Lance's remarks. avs the Free Lance:
 There is no one subject that should interest the people of Virginia more than the public school system of this commonwealth. We have on many occasions taken the liberty to com- ment o1 the poor showing that the Old Dominion was making along the line of education.
 Sometimes we have been accused of being too severe in our criticisms, We have always informed our critics that the biennial report fthe su- perintendant of public instruction would bear us out in every charge that we have made.
 The report is now public property. We have copy of it on file in this of
 
 us true and correct picture of the real situation.
 We have taken the trouble to gath CT from the report few figures that may be startling but of great interest to many of our readers.
 It can readily be seen from these figures that not 50 per cent. of the children of school age in the abe ve counties are enrolled as pupils. What a shame. What are these parents thinking about?
 Some say ''it cost so much to run our schools" Let us see about this. Richmond county pays $5.28 per school year for each of her scholars, King George, $3.7S, and Spottsylvania, ,$3 .62. What an ernomous outlay for the education of a child.
 Lancaster leads off by keeping her schools open just a little more than 6R months each year, while Louisa brings, up the rea1 by giving her school children seven months vaca- tion in each year.
 The average salaries paid to teach rsspeak for themselves. No sane man can expect much "teach" for such miserable ray.
 It is high time for great educa- tional awakening in our midst. May that time soon come.
