Our Present Superintendent.
Superintendent Harvey's case is I'M
der our own eyes. The true inward
ness has not been revealed. He is an
unusually able man as executive and
leader. He has brains and force
enough to set up in business a dozen
little fellows who are barking at his
heels. Whether Mr.. Harvey has been
unWiSe and weak, | know not; it is
likely. His connection with the Mil
Waukee end of the book trust was in
suspicious. But l want to do Superin-
tendent Harvey the justice of the fol-
lowing. 1t is from one of the normal
school presidents. l wrote him and
asked him frankly his Interpretation:
mo man who accomplshes large
piece Of work, as Superintendent Har-
vey has done, can expect to reach re-
suits without making enemies. Nine
tenthS of the opposition to Mr.. Harvey
comes from book agents who have not

by Mr.. Harvey, and whom he has
therefore refused to recommend for
positions to which he was asked to
recommend them. The state Super1n-
tendent is the person who ought to be
in control OF the teachers institutes
throughout the state. He is a man
who must determine the qualifications
of institute conductors. If Mr.. Harvey
has judged that certain men were not
doing good work as institute cOnduc-
tors, it is not only his right. but his
duty, to see that they were not al
lowed to continue in that work. Much
of the opposition comes from men who
have thus been denied what they con-
sidered their right to go upon the insti-
tute force"
The above isn't public defense, or

approval 1t is a confidential estimate.

People are sometimes slow to recog-
nize true merit and they cannot be
blamed for so many in the past have
been hunbugged. The experience of
hundreds of Topeka residents expressed
publicly through newspa pers and other
sources places Doan's Kidney Pills on
a firm foundation.
Mr.. Henry Page, No. 302 East Fourth

years, says: "A five weeks attack of

with a weakness of the kidneys. The

Mrs. Hassett left the play house she
started for her boarding place.
Unknown to her. she was followed by
Johnston. On Darien street, between
Wood and Vine streets, Johnston ap-
preached her. laid his hand upon her
shoulder and almost hissed in her ear:
You have been untrue to me"
Before the actress could flee the man
pulled out a seven-chambered revolver
and began shooting point blank at her.
She fell to the sidewalk with the first
shot, the bullet piercing her left breast.
Four more shots were fired one of which
took effect and that in the arm. The
murderer then turned the smoking
weapon upon himself and fired a bullet
into his own breast. He staggered and
fell almost or the body of the actress

policemen nearby hearing the shooting
ran for the ambulance and the wounded

wound is probably fatal
In the haste to get the wounded cou-
pie to the hospital the police did moi

pressed the opinion that jealousy was
the real and only cause. Both were
married, but were living apart
