a REWARD FOR W. D. THOMAS.
The Shortage at the Fulton Asylum
Probably About $4,000.

JEFFERSON CITY, April Hoover
nor Folk has decided to offer a reward
Of $500 for the arrest Of W. d. Thomas,
ex-treasurer Of the asylum for the in
sane at Fulton. Thomas has been
absent from Fulton more than a
month and no explanation Of his abb
sence has been offered except the ap-
parent shortage In his accounts. Two
weeks ago Governor Folk employed
expert accountants to examine the
books of the asylum and report on
their condition. Two experts have
worked on them two weeks and tele-
phoned the governor yesterday that
as near as they could tell from the bad
condition of the books there was a dis.
crepancy of $40, 900.
The treasurers of all Of the counties
that sent insane persons to Fulton
asylum In the eight years have been
called upon for reports Of the amounts
paid and these, compared with the
books Thomas kept, are part OF the
basis for the figures given on the
shortage.

PANIC NARROWLY AvERTED.
Prompt Action of Miss Sproul and
Stage Assistant Save What
Might Have Been a Ser
ious Situation.

The prompt action of Miss Carrie
Sproul and a stage assistant averted a
serious panic Tuesday evening when
fire started in the Montezuma Club
rooms, where the annual entertain
ment OF the Sproul Academy was be.
ing given.
The handsome club rooms were well
filled with the parents and little
friends Of the performers. The ball
room had a temporary stage erected
In one end and chairs filled the re-
mainder Of the space.
The greater part of the programme
had been completed and the tableauxs
were being carried out with red fire
Ia chemical) to add the proper tone,
when at the end OF one Of the tab
leauxs the negro assistant took the
pan containing the redfire to place it
In a window so that the fumes would
not remain In the building. He drop
ped the burning chemicals upon a rug
which Immediately blazed up.
Miss Sproul seeing something must
be done and quickly, caught up a
shawl and tried to smother the flames
while the negro threw the pan out of
a window, and returning took the
blazing carpet and threw it also into
the alley.
1t happened 70 rapidly that only
those on the front rows were aware Of
the fire, and before the remainder OF
the audience gained knowledge Of II
Miss Sproul had assured everyone that
there was no danger.
Miss Sproul deserves great praise
for her presence Of mind and quick
action which saved a critical situation
from being very serious.
