The provisions of the truancy law
passed by the last regular session of
the legislature, void of technical legal
phrases, are about as follows:
Each child between the ages of
and Is inclusive years not having COM
pleted the common school course
shall attend school regularly during
the time the school in his district is
in session. Provided that children in
their 18th and 18th years compelled to
labor tor their own support or the
support of others, shall attend for
period of eight consecutive weeks.
For the enforcement of this law
each county is to be divided into not
more than five ncr less than one tru-
ancy district. An officer for each dis
trict shall be appointed by the county
commissioners upon the nomination
of the county superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
When from personal knowledge or
complaint or notice from any patron
or teacher in his district that any
child subject to the provisions of this
act is habitually absent from school it
becomes the duty of the truant officer
to serve written notice upon the par
emit or guardian of such child in
charge, that such cnild's presence is
required in school. Upon the failure
of the parent or guardian to comply
with the request within five DAYS such
parent or guardian becomes liable to a
fine of not more than S25 nor less than
s5 in any court of competent jurlsdic-
tion for each and every offense.
1t is hoped that this law will attain
the end for which schools were estah-
lished and give every boy and girl in
Kansas at least common school edu-
cation.

From August p to September I the
Seventh Day Adventist people have
been holding a camp meeting in New
ton. The denomination in the State
of Kansas numbers about 1900, and
about 900 in the world. Something
over one thousand of these attended
the camp meeting in Newton on the
aforementioned date. To provide
temporary homes for those who would
attend the meeting, the Newton au
thorities offered the free use of the
beautiful Themian Park, almost in
the heart of the city, free city water,
and free electrict lights. Nearly $50
small tents we're pitched IN this park,
and were furnished the campers at ii
nominal sum. Meetings were held in
both English and German. Four large
tents were erected to accommodate
these meetings, and meetings for the
children and youth. The tent for the
adult English meetings is large cir
Gus tent. and has a seating capacity of
5000. 1t was pitched one block north
of the postoffice, and was we'll filled
at each meeting.
!. During the meeting there were a
large number of conversions, and SS
were baptized. Those in attendance
showed their gratitude for the bless
ings received by donating 4,969.12 to
the various missionary enterprises of
the denomination. This amount does
not include the tithe-one tenth of
their incOme-which this people reli-
giCusly pay into the church treasury
as sacred to the support of the minis
try. The weather throughout the
meeting was all that could be asked
for and the campers went home feel

MORE MONEY TO CRATER Lake.
Secretary Of Interior Asks Liberal Al.
preparation for Park.

Washington. Dec. l9.--The interior
department recognizes that more liber-
~ foPfiations are necessary for the
Improvement Of the Crater Lake Ma
tional Park than have been made in
the past. The last sundry civil bill ap-
propriated only $4,000 for this work
and out Of this an allowance goes 10
the salary Of the superintendent.
With such meagre appropriation lit
tie progress can be made in the direc-
tion Of constructing Eoada and making
other improvements which will faciIi-
tate the access to Crater Lake and
other points Of scenic interest scattered
all through the park. This year, the
secretary Of the treasury hopes to have
at least $4,000 made available so that
the improvements can be made during
the summer Of 1904.
Mount Rainier National Park In
Washington is so far without superin-
tendent, and, beyond a road survey
made last summer, little has been done
looking to its Improvement. The Sec
retary now asks for $4,000 to be ex-
pended in the management and inn
provement Of this park and on the inn
provement Of roads. The Washington
delegation will ask for a larger amount,
there is some doubt ii they
will succeed in getting it.

SAYS BRITAIN WILL LOSE II.
Carnegie Makes This Prediction Regard
Ing South Africa.

New York, Dec. 19.-At meeting
here today Of the Armstrong associa-
tion, Andrew Carnegie surprised his
hearers by asserting he believed Great
Britain would surely some day lose
South Africa. He said:
''It is about as certain as we are liv-
ing that Great Britain will lose South
Africa, because the Dutch population
there is increasing, while the British
are not. The Kafirs won't work.
What would Great Britain give for o.
100000 negroes, as peaceable and as
loving as those in this country. These
men give us about IL ,000, 900 bales Of
cotton every year and this, ! contend,
helps make the United States the most
powerful nation in the world. Suppose
feet of British warships would attack
US. The president need only raise his
hand and say stop exporting cotton, and
the war would be won. What happy
country this is to have, the negro.
MY knowledge Of the question leads
me to the opinion that no political
measure can ever save or benefit the
negro. The Hampton institute shows
the only useful solution. !"

Il am calm; but must go instantly. IL

Weak and trembling as he was, he
made them assist him to re-enter the 9th
er apartment. They advanced towards
the couch; there was different sight
there now, From the height of delirium
Hugh Lamonte was suddenly sinking into
a stup0r. His eyes were almost closed.
Only faint. unintelligible murmurs broke
from his lips at times. He did not see
them approach. The cure and NJ. Merry
cast glances at each other. The marquis
comprehended them.
"You think he is dying, then?" he ask
ed. "Ah, save him, Gustave! We were
enemies once-he and |. Let him live,
that we may once more embrace one an
other!"
BE calm, my dear friend" entreated
the physician again, "and listen to the
truth. No power on earth can save him
now; he is sinking fast. But maintain
your energies; he may revive before
death, with the possession of his full rea-
son.
"Ah, Henrlr' murmured the marquis,

Hugh-or Henri, rather, awakened
from the dull stupor, But, it was only

glancing about the apartment; then look
ing upwards, he encountered the regards
of the good cure, who stood by the couch
in silence.

CHAPTER XXX,

1t was nearly morning when the cure
came to the chateau to request an inter-
view with the marquis. He told him that
Hugh Lamonte was at the village inn
