TIE TALL SOLDIER.
Adventure of an English Military Off,
Ger In Warsaw.


In "Tales of My Father" Mr.. Falls
tells OF an adventure experienced by
him while visiting friend IN Warsaw.
He had been walking with the prince
and had stepped into a small cafe.
At the next table sat tall Russian
soldier with one or two companions.
The soldier took out Il box of dOminos
and challenged one of his friends to
game.
The prince said TO my father:
"Go ask him to play with you. 7
know him, and he Is an interesting man
to talk to-"
My father crossed over TO the table
with the prince. who said something
in Polish. The soldier Immediately in
vited my father to sit down and play.
AT the end or game the soldier re-
marked:
"My regiment is quartered at st, Pc
tersburg, II you ever go there call at
the barracks and ask for Sergeant r."
''If you ever go To London call az the
life guards barracks and ask for Cap
tain H." returned my father.
The Russian rose, saying twas not
for him to sit In the presence Of his
superior officer, saluted and left the
cafe.
whoever your friend Is, he is a tall
man." remarked my father.
"My friend with whom you have
been talking and playing dominos is
the great czar-the Emperor Nicholas,
He has been here for week. 1t Is
his habit to go about disguised and TO
mix among the people Those who
know him would not lift a finger to
harm him. He trusts himself to MS
and carries his life In his hand. He
Is safer in these cafes than in the
gllded halls of the White palace at ST.
Petersburg"
The next day my father saw the om-
peror leave Warsaw, followed by the
muttered curses of the people. With a
wonderful remembrance of faces, he
recognized my father in The crowd and
bowed to him courte1usly.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN READING.
In the March issue OF Woman's
EFT Hale. under the caption above,
very aptly reminds us Of the inn
portance OF systematic reading. and
sets forth the ground rules for such
n system, in part, as follows
Here we are scattered over eight
million square miles. more or less.
and we are making our plans. Into
these plans systematic reading shall
come Just as certain as sleep or
breakfast or dinner or supper BY
systematic reading I mean that be-
sides the newspaper and the maga-
zine and the novel there shall be
one hosr every day devoted to read
ing on system. Make 1t more IL you
like, thorIgh ! shall not let you go
beyond three hours day, but one
hour at least in day there must
be.
"Thus take II for granted that
YOU have in your own room, your
Bible your Hymn Book and some
one or two other books which will
help yea in your daily intercourse
with the Good Good Each one or
you can choose these for yourself.
"You ought to be grounded In
fashion in the history OF the town,
Of the state and of the country.
l. do not care whether you were
born there or not. You must not let
any accidental visitor ever ask you
what was the origin of things there
while you are unable to tell him.
Was the place first open to
Christian civilization when La
Sale came down the river; or when
the Hampshire Grants We're quarrel
ed about; or when Captain Gray, In
the Columbia, came to anchor?
And you ought to know decently
we'll the history of the state, wheth-
er that written history he three
hundred years old or three months
old. DO not let me come into Okla
homa this summer and ask You
about the history of the emigration
of the Cherokees into the Indian
Territory or the sun worship OF the
Creeks, and find out that You know
no more about It, than ! do. And
side by side with this, and as a
basis OF this. You must have a
decent acquaintance with the history

over to the desk sergeant who there
upon entered a charge against the
parties from whom money was col
lected for violation of ordinances.
10. About JUNE, 1905, they quit
charging these fines to the offenses
mentioned, but charged fast driving,
disturbing the pease, assault and bat
terry, vagrancy, etc.
IL. At the time of making the col
lection of money, there was no COM
plant, no warrant, and no arrest. The
desk sergeant would turn the money
enter the amount in a separate docket
as a cash bond, and declare it for
feited. The police judge would then
pay the money to the city treasurer.
IL. No attempt was ever made to
arrest the parties for failure to ap-
pear
10. The total fines and bonds for
down to November, averaged about
$4,000 a month, of which from ST.
700 to $4,000 was collected from
saloons and disorderly houses.
IA. After November, 1906. the
amount of fines collected by the police
judge dropped to from $500 to 5000
per month.
Is. No member of the police force
or city officer furnished to the county
attorney any evidence against saloons.
16. 1t was a matter of general re-
pute that money was being collected
and turned into the city treasurer in
this manner.
II. This custom was not expressly
authorized by the city council by ordi-
nance or resolution.
IS. No license was ever issued by
the police to the law violators but
there was an implied agreement that
they would not be disturbed as long
as they paid up.
10. Immediately after this action
was brought the police discontinued
the practise of collecting money in
this way.
20. Prior to this action no effort
was made by the city to suppress
joints and bawdy houses, but only
to regulate them, (which had been
continued so long that it had grown
into a system"

TELLS ON WICHITA.
Report of George A. Vandever Filed in
Supreme Court.

All of Wichita's naughtiness is ex-
posed to the world in the report Of the
special master, Geo. A. Vandeveer of
Hutchinson, who was appointed by the
Kansas supreme court to take the testi-
mony in the custer suit against that
city.
The testimony itself occupies 522
pages, and the special masters report
gives the findings of fact. In sub
stance, the special master finds that
every charge made by the state against
Wichita is true, and then some. The
supreme court can not well do other
wise than grant the petition of the
state that Wichita be ousted from the
assumed right to license saloons and
other unlawful resorts.
This fight will cost the city of Wich-
tia a good deal of money, for all or
the court costs will be on W1chita
shoulders. 1t would seem that Wichita
might have saved little by adopting
the policy of Davy Crockett's coon.
The conclusion Of Judge Vandeveer's
report summarized the whole case with
one tremendous sentence of about 200
words duration. 1t says:
in the case 1 find that the allegations
of the plaintiffs petition are true; that
the city of Wichita was, at the time
this action was commenced, and Tor
more than two years prior thereto eX-
ercising the corporate powers of H.
censing and authorizing the keeping
and maintaining of tipping houses, sa-
looms and dramshops and places within
said city where intoxicating liquors
were kept and sold, contrary to law,
habitually and as a business, the pro-
prietors and keepers of such place
having no permit issued by the pro-
bate Judge of Sedgwick county, Kan
sas, and also the corporate power OF IL
censing and authorizing the maintain
ence of houses of prostitution within
the corporate limits Of said city, the
city collecting and receiving from the
keepers and proprietors of places where
Intoxicating liquors were sold and from
keepers or houses Of prostitution and
inmates thereof certain stipulated sums
of money paid monthly to the city upon
an implied agreement and understand
ing with such keepers, proprietors and
inmates that they would be exempt
from prosecution by the city authorl-
ties
A summary of Judge Vandeveer's
findings is as follows:
l. For many there have existed
many saloons and houses of prostitu-
ton in the city of Wichita, run open
ly in violation of law.
2. During the two years prior to
beginning this action there were 80
or more saloons and from so to 200
prostitutes in Wichita
8. The Wichita ordinance against
selling liquor on Sunday, under which
fines were collected.
A. Similar more recent ordinance.
8. Ordinance against prostitution.
s. No ordinance in Wichita pro-
hibiting generally the above prac-
tiSeS
Z. Unlawful places were generally
known to the chief Of police and
members of the city council.
8. Was the practice for the chief
of police about the middle of each
month to send some subordinate to
collect from $25 to $50 from each
saloon, S25 from each disorderly
house, and IS from each inmate.
8. Money so collected was turned

Schneck, Charged With Killing Wife
and Children, Hears Charges.

OTTAWA, Kan, April ia big crowd
was in attendance at district court at
the second day of the trial of Frank
Schneck, charged with the murder of
his wife.
The completion of the jury was fol-
lowed by the introduction Of evidence
by the state which told in minute de-
tail already familiar the facts concern
ing the finding Of the bodies of Jane
Schneck and her two children in their
home at Centropolis.
Added to this has been the testimony
from relatives of Mrs. Schneck to the
effect that she was neglected by
food except as they were furnished
through charity. Schneck has not yet
been woven into the evidence of muir
der. References to him have gone no
his family.
Beginning with the evidence of Ed
Stewart, which will probably be offered
today, the state will begin the con-
struction of it's evidence to directly
connect Schneck with the crime.
Stewart will repeat his story Of the
preliminary, which is damaging alike
to his wife as to Schneck, and his evil
dence, it is expected, will be supported
by the two small daughters OF Mr.. ana
Mrs. Stewart, who have been in court
The state will probably not finish its
case before Thursday night. The cross
examination of Stewart is expected to
be very searching
Attorney Walter Pleasant told the
Jury, in outlining the states case, that
the state would show, in addition to
other circumstances, that buggy was
driven from Ottawa to Centropolis and
back by unfrequented roads on the
night Of the tragedy, and that at one
place a stop was made, where a man
wearing overshoes got out and threw
away a whisky bottle.
This evidence was left in the snow.
1t would be shown, he said, that there
was a light in the upper rooms OF the
Stewart house in Ottawa about 4
o'clock on the morning after the muir
der at Centropolis, and that ashes, ap-
parently from burned clothing, were
found in that room afterwards.
Judge Smart sharply reprimanded
Juror who was 20 minutes late on ar
irving. The court estimates the cost
of the case at 5000 a day to the coun-
ty. The defense has as yet subpoenaed
no witnesses.
IT is not known whether or not
Schneck is to go on the stand in his
own behalf. When reference was made
to his little boy during the testimony
Schneck wiped his eyes vigorously. He
had previously shown no sentiment.
witnesses said he looked calmly ON the
bodies of his wife and children.
