SCATTERING the glass in the window. The
weapon used was a 22-caliber rifle, which
the boy had recently purchased here.
After the shooting the wife wrapped the
gun in her apron and buried 1t near the
house, where Sheriff Mcdaniel unearthed
it. They boy, who is half-witted, claims
his mother fired the shot, and that he
stood directly behind her. while the mother
says the lad did the shooting. An effort
was made at the last term Of district court
to send the boy to the reform school. as
It was charged that many of the prairie
fires which had been kindled in the vicin-
ity had been started by him. The neigh
bors filed a complaint. but through the
assiduous efforts of the father the charge
was withdrawn. The home has been the
scene of many family quarrels.
The bullet is still imbedded in the mead
OF Krupicka and IL the patient does not
die before tomorrow morning he will be
taken to the Methodist hospital at Omaha.
He rallied a short time this afternoon, but
can only speak in gutturals. The boy is in
jail and the woman, who is under surveil-
lance, seemingly displays little anxiety.
Sheriff Mcdaniel also found $40 in cur
rency buried under the window, near where
the rifle was found. The case has caused a
great deal Of excitement among the Bo-
hemian residents in that neighborhood. as
Krupicka was looke upon as al ideal
citizen and home-builder.

The Work Test.

| ne ADVISED the establishment OF a
woodward or some such field OF en-
deavor and recommended a study OF
the plans Of various cities which are
now conducting such an establish
ment This for the purpose of con-
Quoting work test.
When a man applies to you for
relief" said DR.. Mcvey, "offer aim en-
ployment Don't lower his self respect
by offering him something for moth
Ing This only breeds the professional
tramp and beggar. If he lis a really
needy man he will be glad to work
for his meal. He is then under no
obligation"
The greatest good that an organiza-
ton Of the kind will do, however. ac-
ccrding to DR.. McVey. will be to get
away from indiscriminate giving If
there is q case of need it will be taken
care Of at once and on the other hand
one case Of need viii not get a super
abundance Of relief from too many
sources as is apt to happen under the
system of haphazard giving.
The talk was teeming with practical
suggestions and stirred the interest of
those present.
Following Dr. Mcvey's address DR..
r. A. Beard gave snort address en-
dorsing the work most heartily and
giving some experiences OF his own
with associated charity work. How
ever he suggested that the word char
ity be eliminated on the ground that
II would tend to drive away many
cases of real need, 1.-THE person VINO
is down." said DR.. Beard, els entitled
to assistance from the world 1t is a
| service that the world owes them and
would have the name suggest that
fact"
He suggested the name Social Ser
vice association and this led to some
discussion.
Mr.. McVey pointed out that the
name might arouse some antagonism.
It would keep the society constantly
explaining what the society was for,
what its aim and objects were, etc.
Colonel Morton stated that he was
heartily in favor Of the organization.
He believed that it was business
proposition and should be organized
on business basis.
Judge Amidon also heartily endors-
ed the work and gave a short adj
dress in which ne stated that there
was no work in which he got greater
pleasure than an the work of attempt
ing reforms along this line He be-
lieved that there was big change
coming in the way this matter would
be handled and cited recent law in
England which provided for the sys-
tematic study OF the causes which
lead to poverty
He believed that charity work was
primarily for women and children,
and more especially for children.
W. ID. Sweet and Max Stern both
followed with short talks, endorsing
the movement and urging business
like administration.
In closing L. B. Hanna said: Il

ing yesterday and following a brief re-
port Of the work that had been done

airy charities last spring, by Superin-
tendent McCracken. Mr. Hanna intro
duced the speaker of the afternoon
Pres. f. L. McVey OF the state uni
versity and for years president of the
Associated Charities of Minneapolis.
Mr.. McVey gave a snort but very
comprehensive address in which he
outlined his ideas of charity work.
Prevention Work Necessary.
He stated that modern charity work
ers had come to realize that there was
just as much need for prevention OF
crime as there was for the actual re-
lief work. He stated that there should
be different departments to look after
the different details. For instance q
department of sanitation, a depart
ment of health, etc.
He said that poverty is largely pre-
ventable, and 1t should be the aim OF
the society not simply to give relief
but to work so that those assisted
should help themselves.

many OF my friends expressed SYM
pathy that I was coming out to the
wild and wocl1y west. They did not
know that 1t was a Joy to me. After
/ had fully decided to take the step
my heart was bounding with joy, for
1t meant 10 me that was going back

lit has been said that doubtless God
could have made a more beautiful
flower than the rose, but doubtless
God never did Changing the word.

of the world.
Under the development which will
come as the result OF the scientific
agricultural study and effort that Is
now being made, am convinced that
this valley will be rich 1000 years
