Sad browning at TunneltOn.

Tunnelson had quite an excitement during
the past week over lost boy and the sab
sequent finding of him in watery grave.
Ross Knots, the eleven-year-old son Of
Alpheus Knots, disappeared last Saturday
morning about O'Clock. As he did not
show up at home tina, evening his parents
became very uneasy as he was an epileptic
and subject to fits. They feared he had
fallen into one of the shafts on Tunnel Hill
or some other place.and been killed
That night and all day Sunday and that
night people searched 10 every direction for
HIM and reward Of SIS was offered for his
recovery. The mines almost closed down
and the miners aud everybody else who
could get away joined in the search. The
parents we're almost distracted and their
grief was pitiful. There is quite a pond Of
water on Tunnel Hill where the boys 20
swimming and il was finally decided that he
must have had ~ and fallen into this
water and been drowned. Lights had been
lowered into all the shafts and pits and still
no trace Of the body so they dragged the
pond and found the body, Monday evening,
just as had been feared As the boy had
his clothes on he had evidently not been in
swimming, bat had been playing or walking
along the banks aud had TT and fallen in.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
OF food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find
1T and set the matter right.

the delay occurring on government yes
sells, I beg to say that the contracts for
all naval vessels contain clauses specify
ing the time in which the vessels shall
be completed and stipulating that in
case this time is exceeded certain de-
auctions shall be made from the con-
tract price"
In his report Rear Admiral Bowles
says in part:
"The delays in the construction of
United States vessels may, in general,
be attributed to one or more of the fol-
lowing seven causes:
Inadequate plans: changes in the dis
position of armOr or armament or in the
details of the designs after the award of
the contract; delays in delivery of armor
and ordnance; delays due to government
inspection; delays due to slowness OF
delivery of steel and other structural
materials by sub-contrac tors; delays
due to inadequate facilities or INSULT
cient biIity in the contractors technical
staff; delays due to an inadequate sup
ply of skilled workmen.''

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

If there is any board or commission
whose duty it is to award diplomas or
medals to those who are responsible for
first class musical comedies, then those
who are plotting the course of San Toy
should be given the diploma with the
longest blue ribbon attached and
medal as big as the bottom of a water
bucket. For San Toy" as given at
the Crawford last night is one of the
best musical comedies that has been
seen in Topeka this season.
san Toy" is about as near perfect as
anything Of the kind that has been here
lately The scenery was unusually taste
full the costumes were elaborate, and
there must have been at least half Il
hundred trunks full of all sorts of COR
geOus Chinese wearing apparel The
singers were good, the chorus was well
trained, the regular orchestra was aug
mented by half a dozen musicians car
ried by the company, the singers We're
led by a capable musical director, the
funny men were funny, the humor was
of the real sort San Toy" is is karats

the role Of Lii He is funnier than
"ko 10" in The Mikado," ever dared
to be. even when Frank MOulan played
it. To all appearances Collins methods
of producing fun are not like the rules
and regulations followed by many 9TH
ers. He doesn't have to follow any
theory in the Chinese role. Collins can
sing bit. dance a bit, and do a few
east as very funny man. The man
ayers seem to know it. for he has no
trouble in drawing a nice pay check
every time the ghost walks.
Isobsl Hail. as san Toy was de-
cidedly clever. She can act, she can sing
and she is neat and prettv Miss Han
is equal to the best light opera sopranos
who have been west this season. and in
her Somebody song she was given
several encores. Unless it be Maud
Lillian Berri, no other soprano heard
this season is her equal.
George x. FOrtescue, the big man. as

voice Of unusual timbre. and he pleased
the audience with his small stock of

where women are employed in almost
all kinds of business establishments.
The feminine invasion has not in the
northern ATTITUDES as yet extended to
the actual operation of street cars. In
Valparaiso, Chill, however, women have
entered into even this field. That South
American city is well provided with
horse car lines. but while the drivers
are all men, every conductor on the
many hundreds of cars is q woman The
cars are double decked structures, and
are often crowded. But nobody except
the conductor is allowed to stand on the
rear platform. This the woman fare ia
l1er has all to herself. and besides she
is not obliged to stand all the time when
passengers are few. as there is a conn
Portable seat placed there for her Tse.
The conductors Of Valparaiso wear
blue gown, with a white apron and
white plastron. They have proved them
selves efficient, and are treated by the
travelling public with respect Women
were first employed in this line of work
during the war several years ago be-
tween Chill and Peru. when men went
into the army in such numbers that
there was a shortage of them for peace
full pursuits. BY the time the war had
ended the women had firmly establish
ed themselves in this new branch of la
Dor They work for lower wages than
the men would demand. and there has
been no attempt TO GUST them. What
ever conservative people may think of
the innovation. It cannot be denied that
there are many women engaged in cali
ings whose duties are far less agreeable
than those of street car conductor.
