took place Monday night. The prin-
cipal business on hand related to COM
mencement and the closing OF the
school term.

fore the board to extend All Invitation
that it attend commencement ex-
ercises in a body. He explained that
the decorations as Planned by the class
would occupy large portion of the
stage, leaving room only for the grad
uating class. The board, therefore, he
said, would be asked to occupy seats
in some other part Of the house. He
suggested that the school board and
the faculty of the high school occupy
the boxes.
The board accepted the invitation,
but the members did not take kindly
to the suggestion that they occupy the
boxes or some other part of the build
ing.
In accepting the invitation it was
stipulated that the directors with the
high school faculty occupy places on
the stage.
Mr.. Sechler presented the applica-
tion of Professor Bream for perman-
ent certificate. On motion of Mr..
Sechler the application was ordered
signed by the officers of the board.

ment of finances TO date, which show
ed cash balance on hand Of S2770 go.
Mr.. Orth explained that about four
thousand dollars worth of bonds will

fore, be necessary to pay off the bonds
or renew them. The board was much
encouraged with the treasurer's favor
able report, which shows a handsome
balance on hand after meeting prsctic-
ally all the bills of the school year. 1t
was the sense of the members that in
view of other money yet to come in
the board should pay off bonds to the
above mount. Definite action on the
N srer was postponed until after the
organization Of the new school board
MIR. Fischer called attention to the
cesspool at the Welsh hill school, which
has become Objectionable. The matter
was discussed at length, and it was
decided to abate the matter, although

present.

that while there may have been foul
play, yet the jury, after making a
thorough investigation and meeting
and deliberating on three different &C.

what to do with all of it and are
growing because they fear the big

which had record-breaking runs in
New York and London.
The scenery in this piece is especial
ly fine, there being three scenes to
each act.
The play abounds with ballets, dane
ing and specialties and should meet
with the instant approval Of the audi
ence.
The versatility of the Lilliputians is
little short of extraordinary. Whether
it be as court lady, house maid, the
swashbuckling soldier of fortune, who
knows just how to wear a uniform and
handle a rapier, or masquerading as
a street urchin, each and every one Of
the company is well-nigh perfection.
The clever work of Olive Moore is
deserving OF particular consideration,
her dancing and singing being partcu-
larly meritorious.
Master Teddy Mcnamara has the
true metal and ring of a first-class
comedian and the Heintz twins are
both clever comedians, and judging
from their work at the Orpheum, have
brilliant futures upon the stage.

give a grand ball at &. of P. hall this

This boy" said Mr.. Jerome, had
no appreciation of what he was doing.

of the case. From all I can gather.
Judge that he built the fire of news
papers expecting only to frighten the
woman. He had seen others boys do
the same thing-build bonf1res under
sleeping tramps in the park; he was
merely initiating them.
His parents live in Italy: he has
only one relative in this country, a

TAYLOR ON THE RAILROADS.
Writes a Book for the Masses on
Government Control.

Carr w. Taylor. former attorney
for the state railroad commission has
written and published book called
THE Railroad Public Servant 1t
is described as "a book for the
Masses" and Is a treatise of 112 pages
advocating better government control
of railroads.
Mr.. Taylor says in his Introduction:
THE railroads in their obstinate
fight against governmental control.
have. among other things, contended
that such control is impractical, and,
if put into effect to the extent now de-
manded by the people, would prove
ruinous and that the public, as a
necessary result, would receive much
poorer service than it is now getting
1T is the further purpose of this
pamphlet to show that complete
regulation of the railroads by the
government is not only practical but
that 1t is absolutely necessary and
will be beneficial instead of injurious
to the railroads.
THE rights of the people in their
business intercourse with the rail-
roads and the obligations resting
upon the railroads have been very
clearly defined by the courts of this
nation. Practically all the vital ques
tions touching the control of trans
portation and of public service COR
porations by the government have
been settled as will hereinafter clearly
appear. The courts have. in almost
every instance. done their whole duty
in defining and preserving to the peo-
pie all their rights in connection with
the public service corporations"

number three, in which Mike dwells The
two have been on bad terms for long
time, but the iron bars kept them a Il
safe distance. Admiral. according to the
keepers of the bear den, has been schem-
ing to get past the barriers, and finally
found a way. AT the rear end of the

DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Victim Declared He Did Not Believe
in 1t to the Last.

New York. Aug. 14.-Although Con-
rad Steingruber laughed at the Christ
hospital physicians in Jersey City,
who said that he would die in "a
hours from the effects of "a bite from
dog, the prophecy was fulfilled to-
day. Steingruber said he was a dis
believer in hydrophobia. and that he
would be around again in a few days.
He rapidly grew worse. although, he
remained conscious until the end, and
almost the last words he spoke were
that he would get well. Steingruber
was bitten by a dog a little over three
weeks, ago, but paid no attention to
the bite. and when warned by his wife
that he might develop rabies he mere
ly laughed at her. saying hydropho-
bia had no terrors for him. On Mon
day last he began to show signs of
rabies and consulted a physician. On
Wednesday he called at the hospital
and when offered a glass of water he
was taken with a spasm. From that
time until he died his suffering was
intense.

HOWE AND CRUMMER LEAVE.
Tax Commissioners VIII Make Calls in
Labette County.

Samuel T. Howe and S. c. drummer,
members of the state tax commission,
packed their grips Thursday after
noon and started for Labette county,
where they will put in the rest Of the
week trying to iron out the great row
which has developed between the city
of Parsons and the rest of the county.
The towns of Oswego. Chetopa and
all others in the county except Mound
Valley filed a tremendous kick with the
state tax commission because the COM
mission, in equalizing taxes, raised the
county 100000 on the valuation re-
turned. The smaller towns and the
country districts sent a delegation Of
30 men up here some weeks ago to
protest against any increase. They
claimed that Parsons. by it's immense
growth, has caused the rest of the
county to go down hill and the value
of property to decrease. After hearing
the arguments. the tax commission Or
dered certain changes in the assess
ment which tended to benefit the rest
of the county at the expense Of Par
sons and Mound Valley.
The Parsons people emitted a terif-
ic roar, and made such a disturbance
that the commission has again decid-
ed to reopen the case. and this time
will make a personal inspection of the
situation, and see what Is the trouble
with Labette county

this immediate vicinity, there had
been two or three good rains further

TRAFFIC INCREASING.


Chicago. ILL.,. Aug. 14.-Traffic Of
fcials of the roads operating east from
chicago report that they are carrying
an irregular volume of freight. The
big eastern trunk lines, while still
away below the normal prior to the
beginning of the period of Depression.
are hauling much larger tonnage
than they were recently. The tonnage
from the great Industrial centers still
is limited, but IT is showing q steady
tendency to increase.
There is a marked increase in the
movement of building material. Ship
ments of westbound merchandise also
are increasing steadily. There IL q
marked improvement of short haul
tonnage. indicating that business in
the smaller towns is improving stead
lily. Shipments of coal are not as
large as they usually are at this time
OF year, but an early Improvement il
expected. The agitation of the freight
rate question is said to be having a
depressing effect on traffic.
