day was Sergeant c. W. Hughes, of
the police department of Manila, P. I.
Sergeant Hughes is home for a visit

Sergeant Hughes has been with the
Manila police department for the past
eight years. He left his home in To-
peka at the beginning of the
Philippine campaign, as a soldier in
the Twentieth regulars. then stationed
at Leaveworth. and at the close of the
war entered the police service. He
took a part in the Manila reconstruc-
ton. and says that the worst trouble
the police encountered for the first
three or four years. was the suspicion
of everything pertaining to the police
department. The native police system
had been one long string of loot and
graft
Now continued Mr.. Hughes,
1.-The natives run to us with everything.

This is the first time Mr.. Hughes

A man named A. E. Woodwork
was fined IS in police court this
morning for the heinous crime of rid
ing a bicycle on the state house drive
ways. Judge Urmy, who handed down
the five, is very much against any such
fine for so trivial an offense. He says
he cannot understand why it should
be a greater offense to ride on the
state house carriage drives than on
the city sidewalks. The fine for side
walk riding is 81, but the lowest fine
for state drive trespass is SIS. This
unreasonable fine is the result of the
city councils attempt to stand in"
with Governor Hoch. 1t will be re-
membered that after that dignitary
was scared by a near-collision with a
mounted messenger boy he personally
visited the city solons and ''lobbied"

No Cheating Here.

With such a fine actor as Eugene
Moore, and his excellent supporting
company, the production of Edwin
Milton Royle's play, "My Boy jack
at Geyer's Grand Opera House, Fri.
day, April Is, should be an irresis-
tible attraction. Manager Fred G.
Conrad need give no futher guaran-
tee of the excellence of the play than
the fact that 1t was written by Mr..
Royle, the author of the greatest
success of recent seasons in New
York and elsewhere, 1.-THE Squaw-
man" and also "Molly Moonshine -
in which that brightest of
condolences, Marie Cahill, delight
ed Broadway. These two plays are
enough to make the reputation Of
any author, and "My Boy Jack" is
what is expected from such a writer,
a beautiful play.

F,re in Old Town

Fire whicn broke out Monday
afternoon about 4:l5 o'clock at the
home Of Eph Blevins on East Rail-
road street partially destroyed the
dwelling and caused Il great deal vf
excitement Tor a time, When the
alarm vas first turned in. II was
thought 10 De the grain warehouses
belonging 10 Aui. and Ard,neer and
d great crowd of people locked to
the scene. Tue burned dwelling was
in close proximity to the granary,
however, anu If the danes HAD not
been confined 10 the interior, the
strong wind would have probably put
that building 10 danger. The depart
ment made its usual quick time
run and arrived on the scene before
much damage mad been done. It
was a very difficult fire o fight as
the flames we're mostly burning be-
tween the iafters and the shingles on
the roof. The place was deluged
with water and great holes hacked in
the roof, but outside of this, the
damage from fire vas comparatively
small. The FIRE is supposed TO have
had its origin from the aue to the
kitchen stove. Mrs, Dlevins had
started a fire in this stove about ten
minutes before the discovery that
the house vas burning and the
flames were supposed to have
emanated from this cause. The
house is owned by its occupants, Mr..
and Mrs. Blevins, and is fully insured.
All the contents of the house we're
taken out safely.
While the department was making
the run to the fire, a serious accident
was narrowly averted. When the
wagon rounded the corner at 18th
and Franklin, a cadet, riding a horse,
took a notion to show the iremeu
that he could out u them. The fire.
men yelled a warning but it was un
needed and the boy continued the
race, his horse directly in front OF
the wagon. He made a sharp turn at
the corner and the horses feet slip
ped from under 1t, throwing the boy
to the street. The wagon swerved Just
10 time, missing the boy by a close
foot. 1t vas certainly a close call.

was badly hurt while fighting the
flames. A nozzle on a fire hose, which
was on at full pressure, jerked it's
self loose from the fireman who was
handling it, and, flying up struck Ed
on the forehead making a deep cash.
The injury is painful but not danger

Central DOwned

The cadet team of Wentworth took
all the wind from Centrai's sails at
tn academy ball park Saturday by
walking away With a loosely played
game to the tune of II to 5. For a
while the teams tugged evenly, Hur
ley pitching easily but with much
effect, and Steugel, the Central port
side HEAVIER going at his heaviest
gait even in the early stages of the
melee. Wentworth began the work
OF demolition in the fourth. When
they succeeded in getting three men
on bases with no one down, the re-
sponsibility for bringing them in fell
upon Boardman and he acted his part
by smashing out one of the cleanest
and most timely bingles hat ever
brought rooters to their feet. The
good work continued and the tallies
In this inning amounted to 8. The
cadets then settled down and, al.
though going easily, played almost
errorless ball and the gate was shut.
Oentral's only chance was in the 9Th.
Hurley retired from the slab and
Hillix took his place. He was very
wild at first, forcing in FIVE runs by
giving free tickets to first. After
this inning, however, he pitched a
very steady game. Matchett was
put for the first time behind the bat
and his work was starry all the way.
Hurley was the batting kid, smashing
out two three baggers and one Sec
