DON'T WANT THE MULE.
Missouri Worlds Fair Csmmission Decidss
He Ii Not Eit Subject for sculp-
turnl Decoration.

st. Louis, Aug. 6.-The Missouri mule
has been decided officially by the Mis-
souri, worlds fair commission as not
a at subject for the sculptural decora-
ton Of the Missouri building. He does
not properly embody the spirit Of the
state, 1t Ia claimed. The two full fig
ures, one Of Jefferson and the other Of
Napoleon, which will be placed on
either side Of the main entrance Of the
Missouri building. were substituted by
the commission for the first designs
submitted, which did not coincide with
the commissions idea of what would
be appropriate.
A mule team driven by a negro and
cowboy standing by the side Of bull
were the first designs submitted for
the sculpture to occupy the places Of
honor on the main front Of Missouri's
building. At the last meeting Of the
commission, however, 1t was decided
to substitute for these designs more
dignifed figures, and the team Of mules
with their dusky driver will be sup
planted by the figure Of Thomas Jeffer-
son, while the cowboy with wide SOM
brero will give place to the majestic
figure Of the first consul Of the French
republic. The original groups were
well portrayed and the sculpture would
have been of the best, but the commits
sion was of the unanimous opinion that
no matter how artistic the execution Of
he proposed figures, they were not the
Of Missouri sentiment and
lot typical Of the state.

MAY DO AWAY WITH WAR.
A Scientist Discovers . Way TO Send an
Electric Current which VIII Explode
Powder In ANY Fort or Warship.

Paris, Aug. 10.-The noted scientist,
DR.. LIE Bon, who lately has been ex-
perimenting with the Hertz waves, re-
Gently discovered that 1t is possible to
send current Of electric waves by
means Of a simple reflector through
the air over distance of several miles
and that this current can be made
strong enough to explode powder or
dynamite. In one Of his last expert
ments he exploded number Of car
tridges OF different kinds. which were
placed in bombproof vault In fort
outside Of Paris, at distance Of nine
kilometers. Military experts now de-
clare that this invention will positively
abolish all wars. as you may by 1t blow
UP any battery, fort or battleship with
the powder intended for its own guns.

ACCIDENT AT A CAME
AWalk Which Overriding the Bleach.
ers at Philadelphia Gave Way.
NINE PEOPLE DEAD FROM INJURIES
Two Hundred Victims Treated ut the VI.
rious Hospitals and Fully q Hundred
More ut Drug stores-A Panic
Among the Spectators.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.--At the Ma
tional league baseball park Saturda
afternoon the walk which overhung tn
left field bleachers fell to the street
carrying several hundred spectators
Nine people have died from their in
Juries. Two hundred victims wer'
treated at the various hospitals and 4
is believed that fully 100 more received
attention at various drug stores In the
vicinity Of the baseball grounds OF
the injured still in the hospitals five
are said to be In critical condition.
The physicians and nurses at the sew.
eral hospitals to which the injured
were conveyed were busy all Saturday
night taking but little nourishment.
Two games were scheduled between
Boston and Philadelphia Saturday aft
ernoon and the attraction drew more
than 10000 persons to the ball park.
The accident occurred at $40 o'clock
while the Boston team was at bat in ito
half Of the fourth inning of the Sec
ond game and was indirectly due to a
quarrel between two drunken men in
the street. The National league stands
are built Of steel and brick, the brick
wall extending entirely around the
grounds At the top Of the left field
seats and extending from the grand
stand to the end Of the bleachers there
was walk about three feet wide which
overhung the street. It was this walk
that gave way under the heavy weight.
Men who were standing on the walks
were attracted by disturbance In the
street. They leaned over the side Of
the railing to see what was the trouble
and this drew the attention Of other
spectators seated on the top rows Of
the bleachers. Then came a rush to
zee what the other spectators were
looking at. The walk became over
crowded and 200 feet Of 1t fell to the
20 feet below, carrying all
Who we're on 1t. There were probably
1000 persons sitting on the left field
,leachers and the roar made by the
alling timbers created panic, The
pectators made rush down the stand
md into the playing field. Not know ,
ng what had occurred, the ball players
md others tried to stop the mad rush,
tut they were swept aside
Outside the grounds on Fifteenth 4
treet, from Huntington street to Le-
Ugh avenue, men and boys were lying
n the ground. Some were lying In the
utters and dozens were stretched out Il
! Fifteenth street on the car tracks. 4
ONE were unconscious, others were y
bling over In great pain and others n
tempted to get up and walk, only to |,
Vi again. The 10000 persons within c
le grounds left the place and crowded q
,out the injured, Of whom there were Il
ore than 100. h
An examination of the walk after the 10
'cident showed many of the wooden ct
lpports, which extended three feet b,
,yond the walk, to be rotten. n,

THE KANSAS rRUANcY LAW.
Onicer; Being Appointed to Enforce Law
Passed Last Winter-A Census Of
Children 70 BE Taken.


Topeka, Kan, Aug. 11.-County su-
perlntendents and city school boards
throughout the state have begun to
appoint truancy oficers to enforce the
truancy law passed by the legislature
last winter. The new school year be-
gins next month and the authorities
are naming the truancy officers now
SO they can take an enumeration and
get things In shape for the opening Of
school. A truancy officer began TAX
ing census last week In Marion
county. One eccentric German, John
Faust. refused to give the ages Of his
children as required by law. He was
arrested and fined IS and costs,
amounting in all to $2S. He then gave
their ages. The result Of this case will
make 1t easy on truancy officers in
other counties. It shows that the
courts will assist in enforcing the new
law.
The truancy act provides that every |
person or guardian having control Of
any children between eight and IL
years Of age shall be required to send
them to some public, private, denom-
national or parochial school during
the full school term. Any child over
IA, however, who can read and write
the English language and must sup
port himself or others dependent upon
him, need only to go to school eight
weeks year. Holders Of graduation
certificates from common schools are
exempt SO are all children who are
and mentally incapacitated,
but In such cases the truancy officer /
must not take the word Of the parents
Or guardian, but must have the child
examined by board Of physicians
appointed by the school authorities.
Zach county must have at least one =
ruancy officer and the big counties are I
lllowed not to exceed five. The officer
hall have complete enumeration of 4
he school children in his district. The
eachers must make monthly re- -
ort showing the absentees. During q
he month also when teacher finds I
upil playing hockey he must noti-
Y the truancy officer, who shall round q
p the youngster and force him to
ttend school. If a parent refuses to b
end his child to school after receiv-
lg notice he stands liable to a fine
I from So to $25. The parent or
uardian is held responsible for the di
onduct of the child, unless he states p
| writing that the child is beyond his m
,ntrol In that event 1t shall be the 81
lty of the truancy officer to have the ii,
lid sent to the reform school. s.
