powers legislature to further restrict

Thanks to the Republican city
council, Vinita at last has free public
schools for all. AT meeting of the
city council yesterday afternoon an or
dlnance was adopted repeating the
old ordinance that prohibited the at
tendance of children whose parents
had not resided in the city sixty days,
and providing that all childred act
ually residing in the city should
henceforth be entitled to all the pri-
vileges Of the school.
And then the council went still
further, and incorporated in the or
dlnance provision for the attendance
of children residing outside the city
limits upon payment of nominal
tuition. Some time since number
OF children whose parents live outside
the corporation were denied school
privileges, the school board contend
ding that it had no right to admit
them to the schools, even upon pay
ment of tuition Henceforth the
board has the authority OF the ordin-
ances Of the city of yinita for the adj
mission to the schools Of all children
who desire to enter, and who will pay
nominal tuition of 81 per month.
The ordinance as put last night was
drawn by City Recorder x. NJ. Pre-
basco. 1t received the unanimous
vote Of the six aldermen present,
Wallen, Wilkinson, Deck and Bad
gett, Republicans and Fowler and
Frayser Democracts. There was no OBJ
lection to it whatever, Alderman

JACK SIMPKINS ALIVE.
Missing w. f. NJ. Official Was in Suo-
kane Last Week.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 15.-Jack Simp-
kins was recognized on the streets of
this city last waek and interviewed ana
he said he did not make any move to
avoid arrest; that he had been in Dem
Yer, Seattle, British Columbia and other
places; that he had brushed up against
policemen and detectives. but that he
is not counting arrest because, perhaps,
several years would elapse before he
was brought to trial.
What is there in Orchards confess
sion?" he was asked.
Il don't know. I will say this, I was
in Boise at the time and saw Orchard
there. He was trying, so he claimed, to
buy small ranch"
why did he implicate you in his con
fession?"
Hes crazy. But he evidently had
sense enougENto implicate me so as 20
give credence to his story. as he must
have realized that the fact that I was
known to be there at that time would
add strength to his story"
Two, weeks ago it was reported that
the dead body OF Jack Simpkins had
been found in the mountains of the
northwest Simpkins is an official of
the Western Federation of Miners and
was indicted with Orchard for the
Steunenberg assassination.

Pain is natures signal of distress, a
warning that must not be ignored.
Those sharp twinges in the back, those
stabilize pains that follow any sudden
y twist or turn, are simple signs of hid
Aoen dangers in the kidneys
No trouble starts more easily, gains
ground more rapidly, nor proves more
often fatal than any disorder of the
kidneys. All the Onward appearances
OF health may remain until terrible
disease has taken root.
1t is best to learn the duties of the
kidneys, to watch for early signs of
trouble. and to correct any irregularity
before its serious stage begins.
The blood goes to the kidneys in an
fncessant stream, to be cleared of poi
son and relieved of surplus water. This
is passed off by the Kidneys in the
urine. 1t is the retention of poison in
kidney trouble that breeds fatal dis
ease.
Don't wait. The moment you feel
any uneasiness, lameness or painain tho
back, the moment the urine shows If
regularity, either in its appearance, or
in the quantity or number of the pass
ages, begin with Doan's Kidney Pills.

HARD PUT FOR MEN.
Union Pacific Troubled Over Providing
Train Crews.

Salina, Kan, Oct. 15.-Those nine
local crews which the Union Pacific
intended to take from the Kansas d.
vision will not go. The Kansas division
can not spare them.
Such is the announcement now made
by the Kansas division officials. The
Nebraska division wants men and
wants them bad but so does the Kan
sas division. Nebraska can furnish her
own crews, say the officials.
AS matter of fact the local division
can not handle the work just now.
Getting a layoff is almost an impossi-
bility for the local train men just now.
All stations are crowded.
A report from the train dispatcher
at Ellis Friday stated that there were
then 1900 loaded cars of merchandise
lying on side tracks between Ellis and
Kansas City waiting for shipments. OF
these over 100 cars were on the Salina
division
Trains are heavily loaded and rum
ming in several sections. Every effort
is being made to get more men here.
Omaha wants men, too, but Kansas
simply can not spare them.
