Just at present the question that is
agitating the good people of VOda is
the consolidated school question. We
received the following communfca-
tiOn from w. ID. Austin this week and
it is worthy of consideration by the
people OF Voda and that vicinity:
The people OF Voda and those liv-
ing in the neighborhood of Voda are
more interested in getting good
school than anything else at present.
While l would like to see good dis
trict school located at Voda, would
much rather see the good people of
districts I6. p, 81 and part Of IL con-
Soiidated and have good, graded
school. We could build good two
r0omed school house and two teachers
could handle the pupils II we can
consolidate, three wagons will bring
the children within two miles of
Voda. and people living two miles
and closer can walk. We WOULD have
six miles of rail road and we could
put up nice school house and could
have one of the best graded schools in
the county. 1t woald be just as chea o
or cheaper than the way it is now.
There is nothing too good for the
people of these three districts and
we want to give our children the best
educational advantages possible, and
they will learn more in six months in
"a graded school than they will in
nine in common district school. 1t
is extremely hard for a teacher tn DO
much where she has to teach all
grades We can make this part OF the
county the most desirable portion of
the country to live i'm by establishing
a graded school, for there are "A guod

will tell you a Few reasons why it will
be beneficial to our country. First is

Second is living among the farmers

FOUR CASES OF sMAI1pox.
Leavenworth Fears n Number Have
Been Exposed.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 15-Mrs.
Craig, who now lives at s45 Pottawato-
ME street, was under quarantine at
lola, Kan, on account of having small
poX. She eluded the quarantine there
about two weeks ago and came to this
city. Soon afterwards two of her chill
dren became i'll with it and they were
almost well when discovered by a physi-
clan a few days ago Arthur williams
Who was staying at Craig's, caught the
injection several days ago and was
placed under quarantine. When he
broke out with smallpox pustules the
board Of health became aware of 1t and
discovered where he had caught it.
The secretary of the board then found
that the Craig family had the disease
and that a man named Jerry Foulk
who had been staying there and had
been exposed to the disease, had been
chased out by Craig in consequence of
a quarrel they had Saturday night The
physician saw the danger of thus
spreading the disease and began a
day morning, but probably a large num-
Der Of colored people had been exposed
to the disease before he was appre-
hended. The physician sent him back
to the Craig home which is now under
quarantine. A guard had also been
placed to keep the house under survefl-
lance.
-Four cases Of smallpox exist III the
city now. Jerry Foulk, two Craig chill
dren. all colored, of No. SAB PottaWato-
nnie street, and Arthur Williams also
colored. This contagion is more serious
than that which visited the city early
this winter and it is thought that num-
Der of colored people have been exposed
to It.

An unusual extremity. even for q 70

the resourceful newspaper heroes that
Hartley Davis describes in his "Repor-

bodys.:
This problem of getting news back
to the Office worries reporter more
than anything else when he IS sent out

sometimes marvellous and frequently
extensive. Still it Is not usual for a
reporter to send a message twice across

and that all the wires were down gave
CarberTy. and his associates their keen
est anguish, for the important news had
developed after that hour. II there was
no direct wire to Boston, there was a

NOT A CHALLENGE.
One jury Accepted as Called in Dis
trict Court.

Lawyers who bubble and fuss and
fume make a lot OF foolish objections
that put a tired face on the judge, chal-
lenge isIrymen until a special venlre
has to be called, and do a lot of other
wearisome things. could have learned
good lesson as how to conduct law
suit at the Shawnee county district
court this morning.
| They could have seen how it is posi-
bic to keep a jury leaning over the rail,
listening to every word, interested to
point where it seemed dangerous for their
safety from falling cut of their seats,
even though the case was one having to
do with a claim for insurance on wool
which was destroyed by spontaneous
combustion in the big flood of 1903. The
whole atmosphere of the trial was one
of scientific research, but that did not
for a moment defect the attention Of
the jury None of the members went TO
sleep as has frequently occurred in 9TH
er cases, especially during the recent
trial of the jointists.
The case before the district court to-
day was a suit by the Topeka Wooden
Mill company against the Liverpool,
/ London and Globe Insurance company
/ for 81 800. The Wooden Mill had its ma
| terial insured by this company. During
/ the big flood of 1903 the wool was des-
| troyed by what it is claimed was
| spontaneous combustion, and the own
ers wish to collect their insurance on
I the amount. Naturally the question OF
what caused the destruction Of the wool,
whether it was spontaneous combustion,
or some elemental causes in connection
with the flood, is vital and the cause
of the suit.
The method Of its trial was exceeding
/ ly refreshing to man who is
habitHe Of the court. 1t took less than
i've minutes to get jury The panel
was called. The plaintiffs said "Ac-
cept' ?" From the attorneys for the de
PENDANTS came the echo: I'VE are salts
fed" Not challenge or question
Professor DANES of Washburn col
lege and Professor Bailey OF the State
university were called in as expert wit
nceses. Their cross-examination entailed
a thorough digest of the scientific end
of the discussion on the part Of the at
/ torneys. and they seemed as thoroughly
posted as the witnesses.
Plenty of wit was scattered around IN
the trial For instance. r. " Breeken-
ridge. one of the attorneys for the de-
tense after esta blshing the fact that
finger nails were animal matter. just as
wool is. asked:
Professor DANES. did you ever hear
of spontaneous combustion Of finger
nails2"
Professor DANES had to laughingly
admit that the idea was new one
The case bristIed with interesting little
/ incidentais like this, but neatly sand
wiched into the more serious parts OF
the case, and not without their pear
ing s4o.
The arguments were made this after
noon and the case given to the jury
