She won.t Go to the Poorhouse.


A soldier widow in Norton county
is in hard luck. She is destitute and
no one will keep hey. The authorities
want to send her to the poerhouse,
but she refuses to go, claiming that.
under the state law, the county must
keep her outside the poorhouse. The
law referred to is the Tapp bill
passed last winter, which provides
that no soldier or soldiers widow
shall ever be deemed a pauper, and
that when one becomes destitute it
shall be the duty of the township.

resides to furnish him or her home
and living. The county authorities
cannot find the widow in Norton
county a. home and they do not want
to go to the expense of building her
a residence and. furnishing her sup
plies.

Puzzles the Scientist.
Prof. Haworth, of the University of
Kansas, is puzzled over one feature
of the kaw flood. Whatever the
water touched it bhghted. Where
animals stood in the water, the hair
came off, and was often followed by
the skin. This has been true in al
most every instance. And where the
water went, vegetable life has been
blighted. Hardly a green leaf was
left after being touched by the wa
tiers. Trees that would ordinarily
grow and flourish in the water, have
withered and died after standing in
the flood waters. What did the water
hold in solution that was deadly
poison to both vegetable and animal
life? That is the question Prof. Ha-
worth is going to try to answer. O

The appropriation is not large
enough to complete the wall. The

Beginning July 1. the inmates Of the
Hutchinson reformatory will each re-

IL the past they have worked for their
board and clothes. ''The board has
reached the conclusion that the in
mates can be better disciplined If they

Phil Kelly, president of the board Of
managers. The amount Of salary
doesn't amount to so much as the fact
that they are on salary. When we

Can't Pay for Home Tuition.
Attorney General Coleman has ruled

the children at home, provided the dis,
