COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW.
Attorney General MulIan Gives an

Attorney General MulIan Gives an
Opinion of Interest Locally.
Attorney General Mullan, in re-
Spouse to a requst from State Superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction II. c. Bar
rett, has passed upon a point in the
new compulsory education law, that is
now in effect, and will be enforced here
beginning with the school year. The
attorney general is of the opinion that
the law can not compel Il child who
has passed his 18th anniversary to at
tend school, despite the fact that the
law reads "of the age of to IA, inclus
i've" Mr. Mullan says that child
must have entered his Sth year. or have
passed his 18th anniversary. and must
have completed his 18th year or reached
his 14th anniversary.
This provision says Mr.. Mullan,
requires a child in physical and men
tai condition to attend school from the
time he becomes years of age until he
reaches the age of IA years. The lam
guage of the section to IA years. can
not be construed to extend beyond the
time when the child becomes IA years
of age. The word inclusive following
clearly applies to the time intervening
between the ages of and ia years. No
other construction can, in my Judgment,
be placed upon it,
The school board is contemplating no
little trouble in enforcing the law here.
altho the members feel that they Will
not have the trouble that some cities
will experience. The board feels that
the average parent wants his children
in school and will not try to hinder his
progress in an educational way. Attic
ii truant officer will be employed by the
district, ii is not expected that he will
be kept busy all the time.

FRYING INTO RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Is Again at 1t.

New York, Dec 19-The interstate
commerce commission met today to in
Vestigate the railroad rates on import
traffic. c. s. Wight, freight traffic man
ager of the Baltimore & Ohio. presented
a schedule showing the charges of his
company for the inland rates shown in
the schedule since the beginning of the
year without variation or concession.
The rates on the ocean steamers. he did
not believe, were fixed in New York.
Replying to Commissioner PrOuty,
Mr. Wight said the rate charged by his
road on imports between New York and
Chicago is Is cents per 100 pounds,
whereas like goods originating in New
York paid 65 cents per 100 pounds to
Chicago.
There is no discrimination The Is
cents is a proportion we receive of
through rate from some other place
while the 65 cents is the total cost of
true carriage from shipping point to
destination.
Your foreign agent works on COM
rnission?" Mr. Prouty asked.
You give him your rate and he
charges what he can get. With the
profit he makes and the commission you
allow he has to protect his contracts?"
That is how I understood it, Mr.
Wight replied.
Albert T Nfyer, manager of the Vul-
canite Cement company testified that
the rate per barrel from Vulcanite, N
J. to East St Louis is &c Is cents while
from Antwerp or Hamburg the through
re- te is only 60 cents
Frank HaEriott. commissioner of the
Import committee of the trunk lines
said otIy good faith prevents the differ
ent railways from making concessions
to shippers. He promised to prepare y
statement showing that certain kinds of
imports are carried at smaller les than
the domestic articles.

men appeared to put uD the rods. One
of them had a note for 1892, signed by
the farmer. One man always Dretends

DANIELS OPERA.
Visits Topeka for First Time in
L" Miss Simplicity"
His Role Very Much Like For
mer Ones.
CHORUS is VERY GOOD.
Principals Are by No Means
Strong.
Little Comedian Makes a Happy
Curtain Speech.
CHORUS is VERY GOOD.

Frank Daniels is like any other comic
opera comedian in this: if you've seen
him in one piece you've seen him in all.
In Miss Simplicity" the Hearth Barnet
production which he is using for the
second season and which was seen for
the first time in Topeka last night, he
has a typical Daniels role, the sort of
thing he has been doing ever since his
first venture as star. and it can't
truthfully be said that he has departed
to any noticeable degree from his orisi-
nal manner of doing it. For one who
sees him for the first time this is plen-
ty good enough because Daniels is un-
deniably funny and everything he does
Is inimitably droll and grotesque, but it
pals a little after several performances,
as an overdose of humor of any kind
Is likely to do Funny business in
acting or writing is the hardest thing
in the world to keep up and perhaps no
one would be able to make a success Of
1t if there weren't enough people under
the sun to make it d safe rule that
what is hOary with age to you is being
heard for the first time by hundreds of
other people.
The funniest thing in the Daniels per-
Torrance this year is his curtain speech.
Last night he required the audience to
give him ample proof that they really
meant it before he allowed the applause
to pull him out to the front of the stage
after the first act His speech was
comprising all the six syllable words
and vague. high-sOunding examples of
fiatulent garrulity that could be COM
bined in a three minute talk" but his
anectaHOn of the mannerisms of the
typical public speaker and the serious
ness and gravity with which he deliver
ed it made it the hit of the evening.
At one exciting iuncture when he was
apparently approaching a climax in the
string of tommyrot he paused, raised
his eyes with a solemn and reverent ex-
preston and broke off suddenly with,
by GeOrgei They've got a new ceiling"
The alusion to the newly decorated in
terror of the Crawford brought down
the house.
Miss Simplicity is the most tuneful opera
heard in Topeka this year. The Ibretto
is nothing to boast Of either in lyrics or
dun # it We're not for Daniels. But the
score abOunds in brilliant music. much of
which has the virtue of uncommon org
inality.
In the matter of soloists the Daniels
company is weak this Year There is not
cfpals. but the chorus sings excellentlV; IN
fact, better than that of any comic opera
aggregation that has visited Topeka this
season. There are a great many good
looking girls in the cast and all the cos
tunes are pretty and fresh. Grace Orr
pretty and attractive. bat isn't much Of a
vocalist Mai LOWery of FlOrOdOra fame.
Isabelle D. Armonde. Florence HolbroOk
and Kate TART are the other women prin-
cipals and Frank Turner. who looks the
real matinee girls hero. and Douglas Flint
most prominent members of the male con-
tin~ent.

MAKES 1T EASY.
Anti-Pass Agreement Can Be Avoid
ed This Year.

The presidents of the Trunk Lines as
ISOLATION, embracing all railroads east
of Pittsburg and Buffalo, have agreed
not to exchange annual passes for 1903
with officials of other roads. A rider
which will result in the early death of
the anti-pass pact was tackled to the
agreement 1t provides that "compli-
mentary" passes may be issued to Eek
ecutive, traffic and transportation Off
Gals of connecting lines"
This exception was probably --slgned
to limit the issue of complimentary
masses to only the higher officials of the
western roads, but as practically every
railroad man is in either the executive,
traffic or operating department, it is
likely that in a very short time the west
will be flooded with passes over the
eastern railroads.
