A BROKEN ARM.
Smart GlrIies Want Never
to Hear April Fools.

Columbia, Mo-, April 1.-Four
Stephens College girls are repen-
tant aud very much frightened, and
Miss Lucia Burgess, elocution in
structor of the institution, is suf-
fering from a broken arm, as the
result of an April-fool joke played
at the school early this morning.
The girls are frightened at the
thoughts of what might have hap
pened. Miss Burgess injury is
the result of a fall she had while
trying to escape from the room
where the girls had locked her.
All FOOLS Day at Stephens
College, as at all other girls sem
inaries, is an occasion for great
glee and prank playing
This morning the young women,
while racing down the hall, re-
sponded to the breakfast bell, no.
ticed that Miss Burgess remain ed
in her room, and one of the girls,
after binding the others to Sc
cerecy, turned the key in the lock
Of her door.
1t was the idea of the conspira-
tors to keep the teacher a prisoner
until she could summon some one
to release her.
Miss Burgess, when she started to
the breakfast table, discovered that
she was a prisoner, and, thinking
of the days significance, determin-
ed to gain the upper hand of her
captors.
The room she occupies is ON the
second floor of the dormitory, its
windows being but about twelve
feet from the ground. Miss Burgess
is somewhat of an athlete, and,
making a rope out of her bed
clothing, she tied it to the foot of
her bed aud prepared to descend.
Every one in the school was
breakfast, so there was no one at
witness her desperate attempt. All
went well until half the perilous
journey had been accomplished,
when, owing to the frailness of her
support, of the parting of treach-
erous knots made by feminine
hands, Miss Burgess felt herself fall
ing, and in a moment had landed
on her side.
Her arm was broken by the fall,
and her screams brought the boar
ders aud teachers trooping from
their breakfast. The teacher made
the most Of the awkward situation
and stood the pain OF resetting the
arm bravely.
She does acknowledge chat she
got the worst of the affair, and as
for the girls-they want never to
hear April fools. Their names
have not been made public, and
altho it is said that an investi.
cation will be made by the college
authorities, it is the general opin-
ion that punishment will not be
worse than a few demerits and tie
taking away Of certain liberties.

ON DocKERY.
st. Louis Grand Jury Asks
for a New Police
Board.

We are forced to the thought
that such election outrages as oc.
Cured at the recent Democratic
primaries would not have been pos
sible had the police authority been
asserted without political restrain-
ing influence. It is further the
opinion Of this grand jury that full
authority should be vested IN the
chief to administer the police af-
fairs of the city, and that the duty
of the board of commissioners
should be purely supervisory.
We lean to the theory that polio
ing is function of state, and the
power to control should be lodged
with the governor, but we do
strongly believe that for the best
interest of the city, in the exercise
of that power thru the police
board, partisan political influence
should be entirely elimin ated, and
this can only be done thru a nom
partisan board of police commits
sioners.
1t is of the greatest Importance
for the welfare of this city that
our governor do this at once and
make the necessary changes in the
present board, as the Worlds Fair
is to be opened shortly, and the
strain upon the police force will be
greater than it has ever been. To
show our governor that we are not
actuated by political motives in
making this request, we state that
there is but one Republican on this
jury. EXTRACTS FROM THE RE-
PORT OF THE ST. LOUIS GRAND JU-
RY ON THE PRIMARY oUTRAGEs.
st. Louis, Mo-, March 3l.-The
report of the grand jury filed this
afteroOon calls upon Doekery to
take the st. Louis police depart
ment out of politics. It is an APP
peal and a demand in the interest
of the efficiency of the police force
itself. The grand jury states spe-
officially that there is no politics in
this appeal, and to prove it re-
minds the governor that eleven Of
its twelve members are Democrats.
Grand juries in st. Louis are
drawn in a way unlike the grand
juries in other places. The names
are drawn from a wheel in which
there are 500 names. The names
are carefully selected under the su-
pervision of the circuit judges, and
the rule is they must be people of
known high standing in the city,
men known in business and pro-
fessiOnal life as responsible men,
with the result that the grand jury
recommendations carry special
weight.
The men who composed the
grand jury represent the best class
of citizenship in ST. Louis. The
foreman was j. Charles Cabanne,
president of the St.Louis Dairy
company, whose business aud So
cial position is among the highest
in st. Louis. The eleven others
are of equal standing in the com
munity.
The part of the report that is
cutting is that which recommends
that Governor Doekery dismiss the
present board of police commits
siOners aud appoint a nonpartisau
board and, furthermore, that be,
the governor, take this action i'm
mediately. All of which means
that the responsibility Of the pri-
mary outrages falls upon the
governor

Hyomei has made so many cures of the
most chronic and deep seated cases Of

in this disease.
They extend an invitation to all ca
tarrh sufferers to call at their store and
purchase a Hyomei outfit with the dis
tinct understanding that it will be abso-
lutely free unless it effects cure.
The chief reason for the unusual sue
cess of Hyomei in the treatment of ca
tarrhal troubles and other diseases of the
air passages, is the fact that it cures by
a new principle impregnating the air you
breathe with healing and germ-killing
balsams. On this account it reaches the
seat of the disease in way impossible TO

dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. Extra
bottles can be obtained for 50c.. making it
a most economical remedy for the cure

concerning who is TO take charge of the

n few days ago Lieutenant T. r.
kenney came into the city, it is said with
orders from headquarters at Washington
to take charge of the recruiting station
at once, but that F. l.. Poindexter, who
has been in charged, refused to step
down and out until he could receive such
orders from Washington. No orders have

Last night a reporter for the Eagle was
refused an interview with Kenney, he,
having left word with Mr.. Curtis, of the

would be impossible to see him. Poin-

must be some mistake but that the mat
