SAVED HIS BROTHER.
Remarkable Presence of Mind OF
George Drummer.

New York, Aug. 26.-From an inse-
cure position on window sill % feet
from the ground, George Drummer has
saved his brother Edward from being
dashed to death on the paved court
yard below by the fall of a swinging
scaffold. William Carpenter was in
stantly killed and the lives of the two
brothers were saved only by the great
strength and agility of George Brun-
ner, who caught and held his brother
with his left arm while clinging to
the sill with his right. Three men
were painting a public school building
in West Forty-fourth street, and had
suspended scaffold from the roof A
chimney from which one end of the
scaffold was hung gave way and CaE-
penter fell to the ground. Edward
Drummer had just stepped from fifth
story window to the other end of the
scaffold and fell past the window in
which his brother was standing. With
one arm the brother grasped him as he
fell.

School Opening.
Provisions Are Far Reaching
: and Very Stringent.
THE TRUANT OFFICERS
They Are to Be Named by the
County Commissioners.
Places Responsibility of Attend
ance on Parents.

The new truancy law which was pass
ed by the last legislature will begin its
active operation with the beginning of
the new school year two or three weeks
hence. In Coffey and some other coun-
ties truancy officers have already been
appointed. and in counties where no
such officers have been selected it is
nearly time that they should be named.
This law VIII make a great amount
of trouble for time. but at the same
time 1t is capable of doing a great
amount of good if properly administer
ed. Superintendent Dayhoff says of it:
I'VE feel warranted in saying that this
law is the most important public school
law enacted since the establishment of
free schools in the state. 1t places our
State on par with many older states
IN educational matters. The Importance
Of the law will be realized more fully
as the years go by and its beneficial eff
fects are seen. The several school off,
GERS of the state. all citizens who would
aid in giving the state citizenship well
educated and the general public are
urged to give this important measure
their unqualified support. The intelli-
gent and faithful enforcement of this
law will bring great and lasting benefits
to the state"
The law went into legal operation. of
course, upon the publication of the stat
ute book, but it has not been practically
in operation because no schools have
been in session. SO its first trial will
come when the schools o9en this fall.
The first section of the law provides
that all children between the ages of 8
and Is years inclusive must attend some
school, public, private or parochial, dur
Ing the school year: provided that chill
dren of IA or over. who must support
themselves or others do not have to at
tend more than eight consecutive weeks
each year If they can read and write
the English language. Those who are
physically or mentally incapacitated to
attend school are also excused. The
other important sections of the law are
as follows:
Sec 2. The county superintendent
of public instruction shall divide their
respective counties into not less than
one or more than five. truant districts
and the board of county commissioners
shall, upon the nomination of the coun-
ty superintendent of public instruction
Of their respective counties, appoint a

will of the county superintendent of

which early yesterday morning was a part
Of a field of wheat. Between sun up and
sun down the wheat was cut, hauled to
the thresher, threshed, hauled to the MILL
ground into flour, hauled back home and
served on the table 70: supper in the
form Of delicious biscuits. He states that
the new wheat makes excellent bread and
the sample of flour received is as white
as snow. Mr.. Brontaser is one of the
progressive farmers around Haven and

wheat from which the biscuits were made

Ross Brothers Sending Out Crop Re-
view Editorial.


Ross brothers of this city have sent a

Texas. Colorado and Arizona, who con-
signed Strawberries to this market. With

editorial in the Eagle of June 90th. under
the head: Why doesn't this mean pros

The editorial referred to reviewed the
crop prospects for Kansas. Wichita being
in the center of the great wheat and corn
belt of Kansas makes her the notinal and
most convenient center from which fruits
can be sent TO consumers. Ross brothers
were using the editorial to impress this
idea on the fruit raisers in the states
named.
