FINES HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
Assessed 500 Each For Their Prank
of Last Spring.

The trial of the four high school
boys charged with defacing fixtures
and statuary in the high school build
ing last spring was finally brought be-
fore Judge Dana in the district court
today. The climax to their bit of fun
is a 500 fine each.
In the court of Topeka the boys,
Quay Diven, Harold Galbreath,
George Willard and Robert McGiffert
waived their preliminary hearing. The
feeling and opinion against the boys
for their conduct at the time was
somewhat aggravated by statements
of Principal Miller the boys claimed.
Since that Mr.. Miller has resigned
Conferences have been held at diff
ferent times between superintendent
Whittemore and County Attorney
Schenck and the attorney had a con-
ference with the Judge before the trial
today. The parents of the boys had
employed lawyers who also kept in
touch with the trend of the affair
with the result that the four pleaded
guilty before Judge Dana. A fine of
500 each was imposed and an i'm
mediate parole granted. The addi-
ton of costs to the fines will be con-
siderable.

BATH HOUSE EXPLODES.
Women Blown Through Windows into
Street at Frisco.

San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 13.-Ten
persons were injured. several probably
fatally, when a boiler in the Lurline
baths at 2163 Geary street exploded to-
day. Women patrons were blown
through the windows of their compart-
n5ents into the street and the building
was almost completely wrecked.
A roar from beneath the building
shock the neighborhood just before

belched forth. The boiler was torn from
its foundation and hurled through the
roof, crashing into the middle OF Geary
street From the second floor of the
structure, men and women were blown
through great gaps in the walls and the
windows.
Mrs. Eliza Eichler of 9 Salton ave-
nue. was an occupant of one of the
compartme nts. She was shot through
a window and far into the street, where
she landed in an unconscious heap. Mrs.
Eichler Is not expected to survive.

the tax on oleo. Butter has been ex-
ceedingly high for several months, but
according to those in business here,
these high prices will not equal the
prices which will be demanded during
the winter.
Elgin butter went up one-half a
cent yesterday. making the price 26
cents to jobbers. This means retail
rate of from 80 to 32 cents, which is
5 cents higher than butter ever cost
at this time of the year, when IL
should be cheapest.
The August prices are expected to
he record breakers, and the people
wishing pure butter will have to pay
from 80 to 3S cents a pound for 1t.
The January prices are usually 10
cents a pound in excess of the August
figures, so that butter near so cents
a pound is a probability by the mid
die of winter.
Pure butter men assert that the
only remedy for these high prices is
increased vigilance on the part of the
state dairy and food Department.
