having come from Fort Worth. TEXAS
We're arraigned before a United States
commissioner today. 1t is charged that
the men were smuggled into this coun-

immigration officers We're tipped off
that the Cinnamon, wearing Mexican
sombreros were due to arrive in Jersey
City and an inspector had no trouble
in picking them out of the crowd at
the Pennsylvania station where he
took them all in tow. One Of them es-
capped a few minutes. however, by
jumping off a street car, but a general
alarm sent out for a "Chinaman
wearing a sombrero," resulted in the
capture of the Celestial yesterday.

A startling theory has been advanced
which may mean hundreds of dollars
to the city water department. As the
city does not filter its water it is said
that the water meters over town are
running slower every day. Not long
that after the city had used the filter
system the meters all over the city
ran almost twice as fast as formerly.
It is said that mud and even gravel
may at times have held open sthe disks
of meters so, allowing the water to
run through unregistered. Since this
secret is out it Is doubtful if the peo-
pie of the city of Topeka can be push
ed to allow a filter placed in the city
the filter is used 1t will mean thou
sands of dollars to the plumbers be-
cause it has been found that muddy
water has elogged UP many minor
leaks in the pipes. If the filter was
used all of these leaks would make
themselves prominent. Some of these
days the fire pressure is going to make
music out of the water meters and
clean out some of the clogs and leaks.
Now if something would happen to
clog up the gas meters and put stop
to the ghostly whirr of the electric
light registers, the people of the city
would be satisfied

will be unfortunate enough to have

times of peace or war. 1t has
long been a puzzle to ME why
our people devote so much of
time and money to educate their
children away from the farm.
This l do know: If a teacher in
the ordinary public or High
School deviates from the beaten
path-the Appian Way, so to
pseak-and does give his pupils
some wholesome instruction
outside the textbook or different
from the much worn and thread
bare way, some wonderful howl
ing will come to his ears. And
if he expects to continue his in
struction along these sane but
unusual lines, / would most
earnestly request him to have
his contract read, "for number
of years.
Only this week l heard q con-
versation between two street
car men which l shall venture
to repeat here. 1t was in regard
to a new device which the COM
pany is putting on the cars so
that the conductors cannot
knock down" any fares. Said
one man, "These things are a
nuisance. 1t takes so much time
to jigger with them that a man
can scarcely get through with
his work if he has full load. "
That's true. replied the other.
with one company for whom ]
worked, a city-raised boy could
scarcely secure position. But
let a boy come in from the
country and he was taken al
once and few questions were
asked" In the words of a well
known song / say Stay on the
farm. stay on the farm. Don't
be in a hurry to CO."
Respectfully yours,

Mad Dogs In Jackson.

all indications he was thought to

times with no effec but we learn
that MIR. w. F. Schade finally
killed him. Bob Dever, the
favorite dog of H. L. Jones of
this city is said to have snapped
Antonette Grohsmann and some
thought he might be going mad
so he was killed. but we learn
that he was not mad and the
little girl is not hurt.

Don't Hide the News.

1t is my belief that every issue
of every newspaper. whether
daily or weakly, can be made in
teresting to everybody. 1t is my
further opinion that not more
than half the newspapers pub
lished really are interesting to all
their readers. When | say that
every newspaper can be made
interesting | mean that this-can
be done with very little more
material than uninteresting and
dull newspapers use in filling
their columns. If this be the
case, then the cure lies directly
in the method of preparing and
displaying the various features.
AS the successful merchant re-
gularly changes the dress of his
show windows to better display
his wares and puts new and at
tractive goods on his counters.
so should the wide awake editor
bid for the readers interest and
attention by varying his make
up from day to day and ever
striving to make his paper
fresh. crisp, snappy, new.
The day of labelling the news
and dumping it into any old
place in the paper has gone by.
The headline should tell the
story. 1t should be as big as
the item warrants and should
have action in it-that is, avert
wherever possible. Descriptive
heads on news items are nc
longer popular with the best
newspaper. Mayor jenkins
Horse Dashes into Levy's
Store" is more attractive ant
enlightening, even though i
takes a two column step line
than a label like "Levy's Store
Wreck" The two column stel
line would display the story ia
more adequately than a fou
deck single column head, i
would require less labor to Sc
. it, and even "sunk" or buried
anywhere on a page of straigh
. one column heads it would sticl
out. And it is a mistake to sup
