HIS EYES BURNED OUT.
Doctors Scrapcd Hot Metal OF Nc
Pherson Mans Eyelids.

Mcpherson. Kan, Nov. 20.-Ray
Nichols, a plumber. was severely burn
ed by an explosion of molten lead
caused by a damp Iadle. The handle
of the Iadle had become loose and
Nichols took it to a blacksmith shop
to have it repaired. While the iron
was hot the blacksmith dipped it into
water Before using it the plumber
wiped it out with cloth, but some
of the water must have adhered to the
rough iron for the instant he dipped
it into the metal pot there was an ex-
plosion. The molten contents of the
vessel were hurled upward as though
fired from a cannon and a portion of
the charge hit the unfortunate man
in the face and on the chest with suffi-
cient force to knock him backward
about ten feet.
Nichols was assisted to his feet The
first question asked him was whether
ne was badly injured. To this he re-
piled that he guessed it was not very
bad but that he could not open his
eyes. A moment later when he had
been led to the light il was seen that
his eyes were sealed with lead.
1t was found that the hot metal had
penetrated his eyes. The left eye was
badly burned and is probably Destroy
ed entirely The right eye was farth-
est away from the shower of metal

Is taking Assigned Leaven-
worth County Assessor.
Must Appraise All Exempt Prop
perry of Government.
JOB WILL COST $4,000.
All Real and Personal Property
at Fort, Home and Lansing.
Assessment Work Has Already
Cost County $1,000.

Leavenworth, Nov. 2O--Assessor
Stephen Meagher has just been as
signed a task by the state tax COM
mission on which will undoubtedly cost
Leavenworth county between one and
two thousand dollars. 1t is estimated
that the assessment this year has cost
TIE county about $4,000 already, so that
the total cost may now reach $4,000.
The state tax commission now wants
an appraisement of all the real ana
personal property in this city and coun-
ty which is exempt from taxation. This
means that all the buildings, real
estate, personal property, etc, at Fort
Ileavenworth, the Soldiers Home, state
prison ST. Mary'S academy and other
places. must be carefully assessed
Mr. Twogood, deputy assessor, said:
1.-The task is an enormous one and viii
be expensive. Leavenworth probably
has more exempt property than any
other county in the state and it is very
difficult to arrive at the value of this
property quickly.
'As to the purpose of the state tax
commission in seeking this Information
! know nothing. but 1 rather imagine
there is contemplated an attempt TO
put a lot of exempt property on the tax
roll
AS a matter of fact the Soldiers
home. having been coded to the state
of Kansas, is not rightfully exempted
from taxation and should pay in Leav-
enworth county or be coded back to the
government.

JACKSON TO THE JoINTIsTs.
They Must Servo Full Terms in Jail
Or Thcre'H Be Trouble.

Lawrence. Nov 2O.-During the
past few years there have been sew
cral occasions where men sentenced
to serve in the city or county Jail for
violation of the prohibitory law, have
never seen the inside of the jail walls
The World believed that this sort
of action tended to the practical
nullihcation of the law and wrote At
torney General Jackson, stating the
case to him and asking his opinion
in regard to the matter.
The letter from Attorney General
jackson arrived this morning and
states positively that persons who
are committed to Jail must be kept
in jail" and further states that in
his opinion ''city and county Off
GERS can be compelled by mandamus
to keep their prisoners in Jail, when
they hold commitments for them
Mr.. Jackson cites the suit brought
by Attorney General Coleman against
the sheriff of Cowley county to re-
move him from Office because he had
allowed a certain labor leader to de-
part from Jail while he was serving
his sentence. This suit was COM
promised. but there was never any
doubt in regard to the law.
There are men in Lawrence who
will break the law when they see
both a fine and Jail sentence staring
them In the face, but there are others
who are as willing to pay a fine as
they would be a license, but who
do not want to bear the reputation
of having served time in Jail.

AFTER GAME LAW vIoLAToRs.
Warden Watson Is Active in Mont
gomery County.


Independence, Nov. 2O.-Jim Wat
son of Cherryvale, chief of police
and deputy game warden, was in the
city yesterday afternoon looking after
some violators of the game laws
in this county. He has track of a
number of violations both in this
city and Cherryva1e and although
some were made in ignorance of the
law. they will probably not be re-
peated.
Mr.. Watson ordered all restaurant
men, both in this city and Cherry
vale, as well as the hotel men in the
two cities, not to keep quail for sale
in their places of business or to buy
quail. This is against the law. If
a man kills a mess of birds for him
self and a friend or two, he is at
liberty to have them prepared at the
restaurant.
If the law allowed the sale of birds
many men would be out every day
with their guns, making money out
of the quail; whereas if the law pro-
vides that they shall not sell them.
these same men will go out only
when they desire few of the prec-

MEETING AT lola.
Unusually LARGE Attendance Expected
from Southeast Kansas.

From Southeast Kansas.
lola, Kan, Nov. Z0.-Next week will
probably see the largest convention in
lola that has assembled here for many
years. Indications point to the gather
ing of over 500 of the teachers OF south
eastern Kansas. In order to accommo-
date this crowd the citizens of lola
VIII have to open their homes for lodg-
ing. They Will be solicited by the
teachers of lola in order that these
visitors are comfortably located. Teach
ers always have to pay their way so
the citizens will be remunerated for
their trouble Quite a number of or
carnations are preparing to serve
meals for the visitors. lola will have
a chance to extend her reputation for
hospitality.
The county papers of the 20 counties
OF this association are this week pub
hshing information concerning this
meeting. The two big attractions are
the lectures OF DR.. w. o. Thompson,
president of the University of Ohio, and
Dr. Geo. E. Vincent of Chicago uni
Nersity. These men speak on Thurs
day and Friday nights respectively and
may be heard for so cents If citizens
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-11-20

enroll as members of the association
they can get both these lectures for so
cents.
On Saturday forenoon the high
schools viii have their music contest in
the Grand theater. This will bring
hundreds of high school students who
come to cheer their representatives on
to victory. With teachers and high
school students it is safe to estimate
that lola will have to take care of
twelve or fourteen hundred people next
week. This also means that a good
many dollars wiz be spent here as
many teachers will await this oppor-
tunity to do some shopping.
