New York, April 27s-Four fire en-
zines and a hook and ladder company
were summoned to Forty-second street
and Seventh avenue to extricate Harry
Cox. a 17-year-old by. who was caught
in a revolving door at the subway en-
trance. The boy slipped as he with
several companions was hurrying
through to catch a train and his feet
became TANNED beneath one of the
door blades. When the several by
ISLANDERS had tried in vain to extricate
him and he had become almost uncon-
scious from pain, a woman suggested
that the firef1en be called. They chop
ped down the door with their axes and
got the boy out. He was taken to a
hospital where 1t was stated his in
juries would necessitate his remaining
at the institution for some time.

Reformatory Inmates Given Another
Chance in Life

Hutchinson, April 27.-The Inde-
pendent prints the following:
This is a happy day for twenty-five
young men who have been confined to
the Hutchinson Reformatory, for they
were sent home to make a new start
in life. On the sixteenth of the month
at the meeting of the Reformatory
board, thirty-eight boys were paroled.
Since that time Parole Officer Craw-
ford has been busy getting the young
men ready to go home. A new outfit
of clothing is furnished each one.
from the tailoring department of the
institution. Their relatives are COM
municated with and arrangements are
made for each boy to have a home
and permanent employment. No boy
is released till he is provided with a
way of making living. Mr.. Crawford
looks up places for these young men.
Then report is sent in to the state
officials and a check is secured for
each one, SO that they will have a lit
tie spending money to get home on.
When a boy goes to the Reformatory
he is checked up on his behavior each
day. For the time he is in the sec
ond grade he is allowed two cents per
day, and for the time he is in the
first grade he is paid three cents per
day. This money is paid to the young
man and he is given a good outfit of
clothing, when he leaves. He must
pay his own way home out of the
money received, or pay his way to a
place where he is to be employed.
Three of these paroled prisoners
went away last evening. Today twen-
ty-flve went away, most of them go
ing east on Santa Fe. No. 6. Four
of those paroled belong in Hutchin-
son and will remain here. About ten
more will go tomorrow, making the
full list of the last bunch paroled
These boys are glad to get away
from the Reformatory. They have
served from about fifteen months to
nearly seven years. One negro who
was released had been in for seven
years. He was glad to get out. Some
of the boys had been in from two to
three years. In the main it was fair
bunch of fellows who were over at
the depot waiting for No. 6. They
were jollying each other about the
strange feeling of citizens clothing on
their backs, and asking what they
were going to do with so much mon
ey. They had on an average about
twelve dollars apiece. One fellow said
he had worked about three years for
$27. He said he thought the wages
were rather low. Most of the boys
in conversation said they had been Civ
en- good incentives for life by the
treatment they had received at the
institution. They said they had learn
ed good trades and had been given
needed schooling and that they in
tended to profit by what they had
learned and become good citizens.
These boys who were released were
boisterous in their freedom, for they
had been locked up so long and many
of them had not been off the farm
during the period of their confine-
ment. When they were released they
acted as hilarious as school boys.
Most of them bought cigars or smok-

UNDERTOOK AT EMPORIA.
City Engineer Thinks 1t Is Solution
of Water Problem There

Emporia, April 27.-The Gazette
, prints the following: AS the result of
the testing of the underf1ow in the
Neosho valley northwest of town,
City Engineer Alva Smith is convinced
that the field will supply more than
enough pure water to meet the de-
mands of the town. In the seventeen
test wells which he has put down, he
has discovered that the stratum of
gravel averages feet thick, and that
there is a good underf1ow which is
taking a direction in general south
east. The highest water level was
discovered by Mr.. Smith to be one
and one-ha1f feet deep in one of the
test wells.
Following the course of the river
down stream the water level decreases
until near the Newman farm, where
the first wells were drilled, water can
not be found in paying quantities. In
the neck of land cut off by the river
just above the waterworks dam, Mr..
Smith has discovered strong under
flow He has estimated the flow of
water through the six-foot gravel bed
underlying this neck of land at $780,
900 gallons per day. The underf1ow
is directly across the curve from the
upper branch to the lower. where it
comes out on the bank in the form
of springs or energies into the. stream
below the water level The water In
the test wells in this locality is four
feet lower than the river above the
dam, and six feet higher than the
stream below 1t. +-r 5-r1tt-r=
In supplying the city from this
field, Mr.. Smiths idea would be to
dig about fifty wells at a distance of
twenty-five feet apart, and pipe the
water from them into a large central
well in the neighborhood of the
pumping station, from which the
pumps could draw it and force it in
to the reservoir. This could be done
by building a pipe line not more than
a mile in length. If the city should
place a system of wells in the bend
Of the river and save the water which
is escaping through the bank. the
water supply would be greatly in
creased during dry seasons. This
could be done by laying pipe line
across the river, and would not inter-
fere with the pumping Of water from
the stream whenever the engineer
saw fit.
Mr.. Smith says that Emporia can
secure pure water in two ways: By
building a filtration plant or by util-
izing the underf1ow Of the rivers. The
former plan would cost about $4,000,
and the city would be at constant ex-
pense renewing or washing the sand,
while the latter would be cheaper to
| inaugurate and operate. The Neosho
field has the advantage Of the Cotton
wood valley, in which good water was
found last fall in large quantities in
| the neishborhood Of Lakeside, be-
cause of its proximity to the pumping

At the Novelty.


This weeks bill at the Novelty
theater is one of the best which has
been offered for the edffication of To-
peka's amusement seekers in many
moons. Every act is of high class and
of much more than ordinary merit.
The head liner. if there is one act
above the others, is that Of Gray and
Graham. who are featured as "the
musical bellboy and the military
maid" Gray is one Of the funniest
slap stick comedians seen in Topeka
in a long time. The act Is musical
one and the team plays many musical
instruments, including comets. saxo-
phones. Scotch bugles and many 9TH
ers Of the same type. Miss Graham
boasts of the largest saxophone in the
world and won lots of applause last
night by her solo ASLEEP in the
Deep
Another act which wins rounds of
applause Is that Of Paul Stevens. a one
legged pole climber. He is an all
around acrobat despite his physical
handicap and does a slack wire turn.
broad jumping, and pole climbing
with the grace of one possessed of all
his legs. His best work is balancing
himself at the top of a twelve foot
perpendicular pole and jumping up a
fight of stairs.
Hayden and Davis offer an east

ny and is founded on many compli-
Gated situations in which Mr.. Hayden,
a reporter, secured an Interview with
a young woman who tells to him the
story Of her dogs death, while he is

Dewitt Young and sister have many

gler and although the act is the OPEN

of the performers. He does many
novel tricks. the most difficult of
which is balancing an iron bed on his
shoulder. His sister shows herself to

Hundreds of men seek the stage as

these do not get within striking dis

At the Majestic.

Packed houses at the performances
of yesterday afternoon and last even
ing greeted the return OF the Readick
stock company to the Majestic for
an engagement Of two weeks. There's
no use denying it. this stock company
is getting to be about the most popu-
lar one that visits this city. And with
good reason. Almost everyone Of
the members of the company is a
capable actor and two or three of
them are exceptionally good. Then
they present a higher class Of plays
than do the average stock companies.
Besides they put on some specialties
between the acts that are entertain
ing and this is something few stock
companies seem capable of doing.
The play for the first half Of this
week is Miss Bachelor a really de-
lightful- little comedy and it is in
pieces of this kind that the Readick
players shine. Miss Barney and Mr..
st. Vrain continue to carry off the
honors, but there are several others
in the cast who seem to be extremely
popular with Topekans.

IN THE CITY LEAGUE.
Only One Team Able to Win on
Sunday

Despite the cold weather the City
League season opened yesterday with
large attendance at Skene's park.
There were $50 paid admissions at the
opening. 1t was agreed that the op-
ening should consist of every team in
the league playing, making three
games, which were to be limited to
five innings each and thus allow the
different teams a seasonable amount of
time to play. There were two ties out
Of the three games which were not
played off on account of fear of lack
of time for the other games. The
fastest game was the Midgets and the
Santa Fe which resulted in 0 to 0
score at the end Of the five innings.
Only one hit was recorded by each
side. The Smith Auto team and the
Democratic Flambeaus drew in a five
round contest each side having three
runs. The only decisive game of the
series was the game in which the To-
peka Printing company defeated the
Eagles by a score of to 8. Fatty
Clark umpired the games and gave
good satisfaction The game next Sun
day will be played between the To-
peka Printing company and the Flam-
beaus. The other league teams have
secured out of town dates for that
date.
