Willie Stein, y years old. taken from
an orphan home in Colorado about two
yeas ago and adopted b. Jacob Lem
mer 81 Sherman county. was tired for
incOuigibility before Probate Judge Cal
vert Thursday and sent 70 the reform
school al Topeka. The complaint was
brought by County Attorney E. F.
Murphy al the instance Of several par
ties who had been annoyed BY the lad.
Sheriff Bradley took Master Stein
in charge last week and the trial was
held Thursday. Since the boy was ad-
opted by Jacob Lemmer he developed a
sort Of a haPPy-go-luclzy disposition,
and the limits Of Mr.. Lemmer's ranch
in the north part. Of the county was
altogether too small for Willie. He
would leave home If he felt that way
and would visit the neighbors whether
they wanted him TO OF not. And 50
through a series Of events Of this kind
the boy found himself in the arms Of
the law.
Mr. Lemmer, ike a good many other
people, has his Peculiarities, too. He
had his ideas about things and Willie
also had his. Mr.. Lemmer thought
that il wasn't the right thing for a boy
y years old to play with FIRE, but his
adopted son fhOught differently. So
one day Willie was playing with some
matches out on the prairie and the first
thing he knew he had a prairie fire
started, which burned over a good
many acres before II could be put out.
All the neighbors turned out and fought
the FIRE TO a successful finish. This oc-
cured In the afternoon, and the boy
said Mr.. Lemmer didn't say anything
TO him about II that day, but the next
morning IN thinking of the FIRE he used
a lot of explosives that wouldn't be used
on ordinary occasions. This spirited
opposition to the boys mischievOusness
in and outside of his home, finally
paved the way for his sentence TO the
reform school. Aud when one sees
and tails with the little fellow he feels
that Il ought 10 have been otherwise.
Willie Stein 5 mother IS dead. and his
father IS serving a term IN the Colorado
Penitentiary for killing a man. Not
long ago, his father. however strange Il
may seem, is still solititous for the vel
fare Of his child. while behind prison
bars Some months ago. having found
out that MS son had been adopted by
ranchman in western Kansas, Stein
wrote letter TO the postmaster of
GOOdland 20 ascertain the name and the
POstOffiCe address OF the man who had
adopted Willie Stein. but at that time
the boy had not begun to make a re-
putation for himself and consequently
his whereabouts were unknown.

Boy Chance.
The Merchants Journal, a pubIica-
ton issued IN Topeka and devoted TO
the mercantile interests of the great
southwest, gives a leading position to
an article entitled, Give the Boy a
Chance" No name is mentioned, but
people VINO have kept track of the hap
Penings Of Sherman county will readily
see what particular boy IS referred to.
The Journal deals with the case from a
financial point of view-a matter often
overlooked by parents who are anxious
that their sons shall amount 10 some
thing IN the world. Moral guidance is
indispensable, but a proper money al
lOwance for work performed has been a
wonderful aid in the character forming
Of many boy The Journal says:
THE other day we saw a boy of
thirteen stand up before the Judge Of
the United States district court and re-
ceive a sentence OF a year TO a reform
school somewhere over in Missouri. Be
fore the boy had finished his thirteenth
year he had reached into the drawer Of
a POstOfiCe out In western Kansas and
taken some stamps and some small
change, Of a total value of a little more
than twenty dollars. The boy had not
the appearance Of being a bad boy. His
parents have always had a good reputa-
ton and his mother was a school teach
er before her marriage. The boys
father, while not rich, IS in moderately
comfortable circumstances.
Our notion is that the man has made
the mistake Of not looking after his boy
as closely as he should and probably
did not give the boy the chance he
ought to have had. Some boys are
ruined by giving them too much money
and some by stinting them too much
The average boy likes to have a little
spending money and ought to have It.
Possibly the father of this boy may never
have thought of that. He didn't look
like man who meant to be unkind. He
evidently had an affection for the boy,
for when he left him at the train in
charge of the officer who was to take
him away to the reform school, that
father broke down and cried like a child.
1t may be if the boy had been taken in
to the confidence of his father and given
a few dollars to spend, the temptation

Eighth Grade and Up Resume Work amer
a Cessation Of Several Weeks.
The GoOdland city schools will be
opened Monday, scholars being admit
ted including the eighth grade up. Up
on advice of the health officer the Board
of Education IN session last night passed
a resolution to reopen the higher grades
since there Is now thought to be no
danger whatever in having the school
children cOngregate for school work
The board viii notify the public when
the lower grades viii also be open for
attendance, which Is thought viii not be
more than two weeks. Pupils OF the
higher grades are subject to this re-
striction, that where there has been a
case of small pox in their home they
shall not enter school until IS days after
the raising of the quarantine, and where
the disease has been scarlet fever the
limit IS extended to 80 days.

condition made was the filing out and
sending in a blank with name, resid-
ence, number of cows MIXED, amount
Of cream shipped, average test, etc.
{ The drawing was, of course, what is
commonly called a rattle, and was a
plan of the company to increase their
business, perfectly legitimate as the
offer was gratuitous on c1eir part. Be
sides being a patron of the company,
there was a geographical condition
any patron living within a radius of 500
miles of St. Joseph-which would take
in big slice of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska. The percentage was a
slim chance, but the lucky number
lS54-held by Mr.. Yarger, won.
Huston Wyeth, president of the
Wyeth Hardware and Manufacturing
company, and also president of the
First National bank of St. Joseph, was
the umpire of the rattle.

Experiments with This Plant Prove
Highly Satisfactory.

Highly Satisfactory.
A farmer near Holder, Tex, writes to
an agricultural paper and asks the
question. What is the feeding value
Of Johnson grass hay and at what stage
of growth should It be cut2 How does
it compare with millet and sorghum for
feed?'
The answer was:
This Is one of the fairly nutritious
grasses but It IS not among the very
best, like Kentucky blue grass or the
clovers- 1t ranks with timothy and or
chard grass As It works up into hay
more easily It is better than millet for
that purpose and for many reasons is
to be preferred to sorghum. unless we
take into account the seeds which in
millet and sorghum are very nutritious
As this IS a coarse stem led grass It
should be cut as early as . lssible, that
is, when in the first stages o. full flower
ing
It must be remembers that in the
south Johnson grass is very tenacious
and when once established IS hard to
eradicate As 1 have said elsewhere It
Is a slayer and It stays put and viii
give any man a good deal of trouble
who wishes to get rid Of It. 1t IS a good
grass for pasture and hay but It is hard
to get out of the ground If you want to
use the field for some other crop"

be encouraged in this county. Small
experiments have been attended with
highly satisfactory results. The growth
was PrOdigiOus for vegetation at this
elevation, and It IS not an unreasonable
conclusion to say that It may go far in
solving the problem Of feed raising in
quantity and quality.

The adoption of electricity as a mo-
tive power by the New York Central
railroad for its New York suburban
service viii be watched with much in
terest. especially by those who believe
that most steam roads will eventually
turn to electricity, says an editorial
writer in the Kansas City Star. The
New York Central at first intended TO
use the new power only within the CITY
limits. Now It proposes to extend II
within a radium of 50 miles of the
Grand Central station. If this expert
ment proves successful and economical
as well, It should prepare the way for a
very general use Of electric power. for il
has generally been held that the most
serious obstacle in the way of abandon
ing steam is in the handling Of terminal
business. The New York Central's sub
urban trafic is stuPendous. The num-
Der OF trains Is something enormous.
The adoption of electricity by this road
means that its managers have great
confidence in the possibilities of the
new method.
