AFTER BLOODHOUNDS.
Chief Of Police Would Use Them to
Hunt Criminals.

Chief Of Police Goodwin says that
he is going to buy and train a team of
bIoodhounds to use in such emergen-
cies as the cutting affray last week
''I have had some experience in
training dogs" said the chief today,
'and in Kentucky, where I came from,
they were used to good advantage in
trailing criminals. Some people do not
believe in bloodhounds, but know
that they can track a negro If prop
erly trained.
when that crazy negro was run
ming loose last week, / telegra phed to
Lincoln, Nebraska, and had man
with a pair of dogs all ready to come
down I had enough faith in the
bloodhound scheme to guard the win
dow where the negro escaped from
Coons' house, and keep people away
from it."
While bloodhounds have been
proven impractical for trailing Grim
inaIs in cities, where the trail has been
many times crossed and mixed up, it
has been proven that they can take a
scent at the scene OF a crime. and
identify the same scent when they
meet the criminal.
It is possible that the bloodhounds
might be able to locate some Of the
Topeka. joints.

KILLED BYA FALL.
Mothers Club win Have Charge OF
Funeral of Glen Hoard.

Glen Hoard. the child who fell down
q. flight of stairs at the home of his
parents at s24 Kansas avenue Sunday
afternoon, fractE-ing his skull and re-
eeiving other injuries, died at Christ
hospitaI this morning at o'clock after
he had received every advantage that
medical science could give him.
The family has received assistance
for year past from the Provident as
sociatiOn which has assisted the mother
in every way possible The father ekes
out an Indifferent existence as a driver
Of an express wagon while the mother
works out at anything which she can
secure.
Mrs c. B. Var Horn who is the sec
retary of the mothers club to which
Mrs. Hoard belongs said: This is one
of the most pitiful cases that has ever
come under my ObserVat ton during the
time that I have been Identified with
he work of the Provident association.
Mrs. Hoard, the ElCtber of the boy who
died. has done all in her power to keep
her little family together. Whenever
she can get work to do her children are
brought to the Provident association by
her, and left in the nursery until her
work for the day is done and then she
calls for them.
The home is one of the most squamd
and filthy in the city. The husband
who is a man past sixty years OF age
spends all that he makes for drink. The
furniture consists Of an old chair anu
I
a bare. table. At no time have there
been enough supplies in the home for
more than a single meal and many a,
time the children and mother have been
compelled TO go to bed hungry while
the father and husband was spending
his scanty earnings at the bars of the
joints which are operated II the city
1.-The Provident association secured
promise some time ago from Mr.. Hoard
that he would contribute twenty-five
cents a week to the support Of his fam
lily, but he has never kept his promise
The rent Of the squalid quarters which
the HCards cali home has been paid by
Mrs Hoard who has even bought feed
for the horse which is used on the ex-
press wagon.
This is one Of the saddest cases we
haver ever had to contend with and IS
directly traceable to the joints of the
city Mrs. Hoard is a motherly woman
who has made a strenuous effort to
make the livelihood for the family and
has been assisted in every possible way
by our society.
The funeral of little six year old
Glen Hoard the drunkard's child. viii
be held from TIE rooms of the Provident
association under the direction Of the
mothers club at two O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon, and will be conducted by

MUST FUMIGATE CARS.
City Board of Health Makes order on
City Railway.

Forcing the street car company to
fumigate their cars at least once
month If not oftener is the action
which the city board of health will
take this evening at the regular
monthly meeting Of the board.
Il think that the cars should be
fumigated at least once month and
they ought to be fumigated more tre-
quently than that" City Physician H
B. Hogeboom said this afternoon. Il
will introduce a resolution to that ef-
feet this evening and it will doubtless
be adopted. The state board of health
is strongly in favor of such action. The
majority Of the infectious diseases are
caught right from the street cars.
The street cars are a fertile breeding
ground for spreading contagion of all
kinds and this was plainly shown last
spring when several of the employees
of the company were down with
smallpox. I am not expecting a con-
tagion of smallpox this spring but it is
a good thing to guard against any be-
ginning. The street cars have never
been quarantined in the past and it is
high time that something should be
done in this particular Similar action
may be taken this evening with regard
to the use of pencils in the schools of
the city. understand that the draw
ing pencils are bought by the school
board and are issued indiscriminately
to the pupils This is a good way to
spread disease"

FOR A SECOND CONFERENCE.
Chicago Wants TO Discuss 'sF'OotbaIl
Reform Once More.

Chicago. Feb. Chicago is waiting
for Michigan to call second confer
ence."
This IS the significant declaration Of
Dean Erl =. Hubert, president OF the
University of Chicago athletic board,
made after the meeting of the Midway
athletic board. Nothing in regard to
the football situation, however, was dis
cussed or rehearsed at the board meet
ing according to Dean Hubert.
That a second conference is a necessi-
ty is the opinion Of the Midway profes-
sor. He believes President Angel can
not do otherwise than issue another call
for the pedagogues to come together ana
compromise their mutual differences,
following the action of the various fac
u1ties on the recommendations Of the
first conference.
"An the replies of the colleges have
been or should be sent to President
Angel said Dean Hubert. "He is the
one to call q second conference do
not know exactly why he is waiting
Probably he is hesitating in order to as
certain the outcome of the work Of the
rules committee in the east. But 1t Is
now certain that a second conference
must be held"

RAILROADS WIN.
Supreme Court Says They Can Route
Fruit Beyond Terminals.

Washington, Feb. 26-The suits known
as the citrus fruit cases, in which all
the railroads entering southern Califor-
MIA were interested, were decided today
favOrably to the railroads by the su
preme court Of the United States, the
opinion being by Justice Peckham. The
cases involved the right of the railroad
companies to designate the route for
fruit shipped east after leaving their
own lines. The decision Of the circuit
court for the southern district Of Cali
fornia and also the order of the com
mission were reversed by today's decis-
ion.
The case was begun by the interstate
commerce commission to test the le-
gality Of q joint order issued in 1899 by
all the railroads entering southern Cali
fornia, fixing a through rate of $1.25 per
hundred pounds on oranges from south
ern California points to the Missouri
river and further east. In this order
the railroads reserved the right Of rout-
ing the freight east of their own termin-
ais. The commission raised the question
that the routing provision was virtual
" 8 contract for pooling, and the rail-
road companies justified the require
ment by saying that 1t was necessary
to prevent the making Of rebates. The
circuit court sustained the commerce
commissions cOnte4tion and also heId
the railroad circular to be in general
violation of the spirit Of the interstate
commerce laws, but this decision or the
circuit court is reversed by the decision
Of the supreme court today

LOOMS TO THE RESCUE
He Leaves Buffalo Park From Oblivion
by His influence.

II may be that there viii be a fireworks
celebrated at Bu9aI8 Park tonight There
Is cause for great JOY IN that metropolis.
It Is not going to be wiped of the map
OF course everybody knows where But
falo Park Is. but in order to inform any
residents of Missouri who may happen to
read this it might be mentioned that IN
the northern part of Cove county, on the
line Of the Union Pacific, there is print
ed in italics on the map Buffalo Park
station" The people Of Buffalo PARK
were greatly grieved and shocked some
months ago when the Union Pacific, with
out warning, closed up its depot there,
and left the residents of the Park out on
a limb Buffalo Park was not discour-
aged It dug it's toenails into the stuopy
verdure Of the shortgrass country ana
hung on for dear life. A Catholc priest
named L. E Wahlmeier saved the day
He wrote a piteous appeal direct to Con
gresham W. A. Reeder, who was the Dig
gest man of his Acquaintance Congress
man Reeder didn't have sufficient controi
over the Union Pacific to induce II to re
open its Buffalo Park station and he sent
the matter to the state boal( of railroad
commissioners. The railroad commission
ers took it up with n. H Loomis, ana
today Mr.. Loomis writes to the board
that he has had extensive correspondence
with the officials Of the road, and thinks
that the depot at Buffalo Park viii pc
reopened He promises to keep busy ana
try to save the place which Buffalo Park
now occupies on the map.

SNOW STORM TO-DAY.
1t Was the Kind That Left No Trace
Behind.

The weather today has been a rather
mixed assortment of good, bad and in
different. At the hour for sunrise this
morning the sky was obscured by
heavy banks of dark clouds; an hour
or so later they melted into the light
silvery blend variety through which
for a moment or so at a time the sun
shone. Then came a drizzling rain
which lasted but a few moments and
turned into what at first appeared to
be a genuine snow storm. The snow
storm in turn gave way to a rather
poor variety of sunshine.
At 8 o'clock the temperature stood
at 80 and the mercury gradually sank
until the noon hour when it again took
an upward squirt. The precipitation for
the day amounted to about .0O1 of an
inch which included the rain and snow
combined The wind is blowing from
the north at the rate of 16 miles an
hour and is of the cold penetrating
variety which pierces.
The forecast for tonight and tomor-
row is Generally fair tonight and
Tuesday with a falling temperature for
tonight"
