THE SCHOOL BOOK TROUBLE.
Superintendent Nelson Gives Some
Suggestions to School Officials.
ALL THE BOOKS NOT TIED UP.

Topeka, Aug. 29.-State Superin-
tendent Frank Nelson has sent circu-
lar letter to all county superintendent
advising them to inform their boards
and the teachers that the schools
should open on the date selected and
all new text books should be used OK
cept those to be furnished by the
American Book company. The teach
ers and pupils are to use the old books
until the case is decided. The circular
letter says:
Il am receiving so many inquiries
relative to the status of the text book
situation that deem it my duty to
offer the following suggestions to SUI
perintendents and patrons of the
schools:
''The readers, Biographies and phys
iologies are tied up by reason of the
restraining order of the probate judge
of Shawnee county. The hearing has
been set for September l. However,
many of the schools of the state begin
the first week of September. Under
the circumstances patrons can use the
old books that they have on hand in
reading, geography and physiology,
because it is not safe to buy new text
books in these subjects, either of the
displaced ones or the newly adopted
ones, until the question involved has
been settled by the courts. 1t is neither
expedient nor safe to buy books of the
series adopted five years ago except the
arlthmetics and advanced grammar,
which were re-adopted, for, should the
courts hold that the newly adopted
texts in reading, geography and phys
iology are legally adopted, every pur-
chase made of the old series of these
texts would be an additional expense
to the people.
81 trust it will not be necessary to
postpone the opening of the schools be-
cause of this difficulty to secure text
books. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
issue at question will be solved at the
very earliest moment so that the school
work of the state may not he jeopar-
died"

HurriedIy Withdrew Request for Gre
nation of Letter.
Gen. James McLeer, while post
master of Brooklyn in 1880, has re-
fused 500 for a letter from Henry
Ward Beecher, which he never even
published until recently. A note of
Mr.. Beecher's containing a check for
$3.50 was returned from the dead let
ter office in Washington, and when he
received the usual notice he sent this
to the postmaster:
"Oct. %, 1880. Colonel McLeer.
Dear Sir:-Your notice that a letter
of mine was dead and subject to my
order is before me.
I'VE must all die! And, though the
premature decease of my poor letter
should excite proper sympathy (and
l hope it does), yet 1 am greatly sus-
tanned under the affection.
What was the date of it's death /?
Of what did it die? Had it in its last
hours proper attention and such con-
ISOLATION as BELTS the melancholy &C.
casion? Did it save any effects?
will you kindly see to its funeral?
l am strongly inclined to cremation.
May l ask if any other letters Of
mine are ck-dangerously sick? If
any departs this life hereafter dom
notify me until after the funeral. At
fectionately.
"HENRY WARD BEECHER."
On learning that the letter con.
tanned a check Mr.. Beecher called at
the Office and withdrew the request
for it's cremation.

PRISONER IN BEAR PIT.
Indian Policeman Makes Sure of De-
tention of Suspected Man.

Indian Policeman Makes Sure of De-
tention of Suspected Man.
All night in the bear pit at Silver
Lake and handcuffed, while two bears
poked their noses through the wide
bars of the grating at him was the try
ing experience of Johann Vaelinski
of Kent last night.
Pete Bey, a full-blood Indian who
recently came from Canada, is doing
special police duty at the Silver Lake
resort and his opinion of the laws
majesty is very elevated. When he
found Vaelinski and two other men
nosing around the cottages inside the
grounds late last night he gave a
whoop and caught two of the fellows
before they could start to run. The
third escaped. Another got away
while Peter was putting the cuffs on
Vaelinski. Where to put the prisoner
bothered the Indian for a while, but
at last he thought of the bear pit.
There is an entrance to the pit three
by four feet, and with wide barred
gates on each side. Into this the pris-
oner was pushed and though he yelled
with fear as the bears came trotting
toward him it did no good. By put
ting their feet through the grating the
bears could come within an inch of
touching their visitor and they made
things interesting for him for seven
hours.
After an investigation this morning
Vaelinski was released, it being found
that he and the man with him had
become lost in going from Cuyahoga
Falls to Kent Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Horses Carry Fever Ticks.

Guthrie, Ok, Aug. 3O.-Dr. Allen, U.
S. inspector, has discovered an unusual
case in Garfield county. Cases of in
lection were reported and, after making
an investigation, he found that num-
Der of horses had been shipped from
Galveston, Texas, and that they carried
fever ticks with them, transmitting
them to cattle. DIR. Allen states that
this is practically a new case in Okla
homa and hereafter shipments of
horses from localities infected with the
fever will have to be closely watched.

FIND FEw WOMEN srowAwAYs
Rare Cases involving Members of the
GentIer Sex.

Rare Cases involving Members of the
GentIer Sex.
Women stowaways are very rare.
On Sept. 8, 1901, one was found on the
Neptune line steamer Ohio, which
sailed that day from Baltimore for
Rotterdam. Capt. Samuel Wilson, who
commanded the Ohio, intended send
ing her back on the pilot boat with
Pilot William Carroll, but as it might
have cost the woman her life if she
had been forced to take to the boat,
the weather being SO severe at the
time, she was allowed to remain.
A woman disguised as man shipped
as a ''cattleman" on the Johnston
steamer Vedamore several years ago,
when the late Robert Bartlett was in
command. Her sex was discovered
before the ship reached the Bristol
channel, and Capt. Bartlett had her
placed in security until Liverpool was
reached. She smoked cigarette5, play
ed cards and had the record before be-
ing discovered of attending to the cat
tie better than any one of the men
who had shipped to perform the same
duty.
Recently in New York Louisa Shall
Ter was found among the steerage pas
sengers of the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
She was not a stowaway, but mixed
up with the immigrants before the
ship left Bremen and reached New
i
senger on the steamer, and she could
not bear to have him leave without
her, and she had not the money to
pay her passage. She was allowed to
land by the immigrant officials.

Two Carloads of Black Bass.

Topeka, Sept. John Haughey,
state fish comm issioner, has distribu-
ted in the state two cars of black bass
this year, and is looking for one or two
more before the season closes. Mean
while vandals continue to dynamite
and seine the streams and ponds, con-
trary to law, and the law requiring
persons who own dams to provide fish
ways is ignored. The value of fish
ways has been proved this year. For
the first time in many years fish of the
large size have been caught in the
head water of the Kansas streams, and
it was due wholly to the extraordinary
floods which let the fish pass over the
dams.

l will be the best friend you ever
had"
A few moments later the two
women left the place together and
rode away in the magnificent equip
age of Miss Hayes.
Never had there been such a gor-
geous wedding scene in the social
annals of the city. The church was
crowded with the fashion, beauty and
chivalry of the most exclusive circles.
The floral decorations were something
marvellous; the costumes beyond
even the female society reporter. At
the appointed hour the groom stepped
from the room assigned to him, &C
companied by his best man, and
moved toward the altar, just as the
bride, arrayed only as wealth can
array its favorites, moved up the aisle
preceded by pretty flower girl and
followed by splendid array of brides
maids, all yelled. They met at the
altar and the ceremony began. The
great audience craned its collective
neck to hear the responses.
do you, Florence, take this man
to be your welded husband, to cleave
unto him, forsaking all others, to
love, honor and obey him until death
you do part?" read the clergyman
solemnly in his most sonorous voice
He paused and comfortably awaited
the response.
Then came the crash from the clear
sky.
mo, do not" replied the woman
at the altar in a clear, tense tone,
throwing aside her veil and disclosing
a face of ashen color strangely set.
God help me, 1 cannot. l."
MY God, Florence, what does this
mean" exclaimed the groom aghast.
Silence" commanded the woman,
turning upon him with flashing eye.
Il will not because l cannot in the
sight of God and man. l will not
and cannot because this man belongs
to another-to a girl whom he has
deceived and intended to betray But,
good friends, you will not be cheated
of the wedding you came to see. The
bride-the real bride-is here, and
the ceremony will go on" and with
an imperious gesture she motioned
forward Dollie Culver from her brides
maids, lifted the veil from her fright
ened face and, turning to the clergy
man, said:
Proceed, sir, the bride and the
bridegroom are ready"
The reverend father caught the
poetic justice of the occasion and
sternly began the service over again.
The startled groom, unable to gather
together Lis scattered senses, num-
bled along the responses and in a
trice the closing words were spoken
and the Four Hundred were making
their way to the door amid a rattle
of tongues that would have put the
tower of Babel to sleep in a cradle.

Our Master.

Immortal love, for ever full
For ever flowing free,
For ever shared, for ever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dream of bards and seers,
No dead fact stranded on the shore
OF the oblivious years.
But warm. sweet. tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love it's Galilee.
The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life's throng ant
press,
And we are whole again.
Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord
What may Thy service be?
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word,
But simply following Thee.
Thy litanies, sweet offices
OF love and gratitude:
Thy sacramento liturgies,
The joy of doing good.
