Ten convicts are to be tried In the
United States circuit court on the
charge OF murder. they having taken
part in the mutiny Of the ~Leavenworth
penitentiary when Guard Waldrupe was
killed. They will be brought to To-
peka for trial at the November term Of
the court. The trla, of the mutineers
will be one OF the first matters for
consideration.
Warden M~cClauPhry will Transfer
the convicts to Topeka as quietly as
possible, and it is probable an effort

the prisoner who is serving time there
for horse theft. has been pardone0 and
will be rearrested and brought back
Immediately by the federal authorities,
Hewitt could not be released from the

REPORT A FAKE.
The Teachers OF Kansas Enjoy
Considerable Notoriety
olDNoT CONTROL ELECTION
Hence They Laugh over the story 10
They Carried 1000 Out Of 1000
Bchool Districts

John Macdonald, editor Of the West
ern School Journal, makes a few COM
ments in his paper concerning the
newspaper fake that went the rounds
Of the eastern newspapers a few weeks
ago. stating that the women Of Kansas
had organized a secret campaign to
capture control Of the annual school
meetings In Kansas while the men
we're in the harvest fields and had
elected women as school officers on the
issue Of doing away with the alleged
provision of school contracts prohibit
ing teachers from being courted.
II seems that this story has ever
been taken seriously by some OF the
educational papers of the east. and this
is what calls forth Mr.. MacDonald's re-
marks. He says:
THE unQ%uestioning faith Of our east
ern brethren in newspaper stories fills
us with mirthful emotion, and adds
years to our life. Listen to our credu-
lous brother. the editor OF the Penn
~sylvania School Journal:
1.-The state Of Kansas has had q
surprise. . The women of this
great state have elected q majority Of
the members OF the school boards in
the 1000 school districts
Kansas has nearly 5000 school dis
tricts; but let that pass-it il purely
incidental. Silence again. listen:
1.-THE platform on which the women
conducted their campaign for control
Of the schools was kept q secret until
the day Of balloting. 1t declared for
wiping out the Objectionable provisions
Of tho teachers contracts, which forbid
the m teachers to receive atten-
lions and calls from their gentlemen
admirers during their term Of school,
and provide for the forfeiture of a por-
ton Of their salaries II the women mar

A telegram received from the wal
department instructs Major d. Il. Nc
Carthy to award the contract to Vim
cent A. Kelly to construct several new
buildings at Fort Lcavcnworth. Kan.
They will cost 1892 700. The delay in
awarding the contract after bids were
forwarded to Washington is said to be
due to some changes in the plans for
the new buildings. Mr.. Kelly will
erect a largo officers ress building. a
commissary storehouse. Quartcrmas-
ter's %storehouse, two double sets Of
captains quarters. five double sets c.
lieutenants quarters, and five small
additions, One to each OF the cavalry
stable to be used as stable guard quar-
tiers and workhouse. Mr.. Kelly was
not tho lowest bidder on remodeling
barracks No. 46. for the signal corps.
New bids will be received for this.
The officers mess building is TO be
finished early next summer. All the
new buildings arc to he completed in
eighteen months. Nearly all the other
new buildings at Fort I~eavcnworth
are completed, and Mr.. Kelly will be
able to get and the stone and brick
masons and mechanics necessary to do
the work without sending to other
cities. Most Of the work now in prog
ress at the fort Is in the nature Of
grading. erecting electric light poles
and digging bitches for the new sew
