PUT BACK IN JAIL.
Frank Henderson Made Effort to De-
sert Family and Failed

It has been forcibly demonstrated
to Frank Henderson, first victim of the
1907 Juvenile protection law, that it
pays to talk less and do more.
About ten days ago, Henderson was
arrested on the charge of failing and
refusing to provide for his minor chill
dren. He worked in the Santa Fe
shops for good wages, but failed. dur
ing the past year, to contribute toward
the support of his six children. He
was tried in probate court, convicted of
the offense and fined 5000 and costs.
In default of payment he was put in
Jail to serve it cut at the rate of 81
per day.
Inside of a week he was putting UP
a good talk to the county attorney and
probate Judge, with the result that he
was let out on promise to go to work
and furnish $12 per month toward the
support of his children. Upon leaving
the Jail, he went home and remarked
casually that he was going to Missouri
and that If his family got any more
money out of him. they would be
doing extremely we'll. But, instead of
going to Missouri he went right
straight back to the county jail, assist
ed by an officer, who threw him so
hard that he almost bounced. Hence,
instead of going to Missouri, he has
the solemn promise of the probate
judge that no more chances will be
taken with him, and that he will be
permitted to serve out every dollar of
the fine and costs.

J. W. Bivens. who lives four miles
northwest of Topeka. is preparing to
dynamite a portion of his farm to break
up the soil and thereby insuring a
good crop. The part of the farm in
question comprises about ten acres and
was at one time the bed of a river.
The soil is composed of gumbo and
vegetable mould and retains water to
such an extent that with the exception
of twice in the last six years the
crops have been flooded out. This
water comes partly from a, lake just
north of the tract and from bluffs on
the east. Mr.. Biven thinks by the use
ow dynamite he can break up the soil
enough to let the water drain away.
He bought the place from George
Gardner The latter says that portion
oe the farm yields good corn, when it
is not flooded out.

called meeting of all of the singers
OF the First ward to be held at the
church mentioned at 1880 o'clock to-
night The call comes through the
officials of the chautauqua which is
to be given at Garfield park, June "a
to July 4. Their idea is to devote an
hour of some evening to a musical
programme by North Side singers.
To arrange for this will be necessary
to hold as many rehearsals as pos
sible.
The meetings are open not only to
members of the church. but to all
singers in the North Side. 1t is said
by those interested in the matter that
these meetings may result in the
formation of permanent North
Side musical organization.

TIE M1LLET TAN JOKER
rCedar Rapids Gazette.l

tCeudT Rapids NTdZette.I
A Cedar Rapids business man was
quoted in The Gazette of last Thurs
day with reference to the new duty on
millet seed. He was quoted as saying
that he believed some special interest
was instrumental in levying the out
rageous duty of 10 cents a pound-two
hundred dollars a ton-on millet: that
the new duty was not the result of a
mistake, unintentional, nor of care
lessness. He is very likely correct. So
many jokers have been surreptitiously
inserted in tariff bills. that there is
reason for believing that some one en-
gineered the millet seed joker. Prob
ably Boss Aldrich or Boss Cannon
could enligften us, if they only would
The new tariff bin. by the way, does
not specifically levy 10 cents per
pound duty of millet seed. The Payne
law contains paragraph on seeds,
which is not in the old law. This par
agraph specifies a number of varieties
of seeds and the duty that shall be
levied, and adds, seeds of all kinds
not especially provided for in this sec
ton, 10 cents per pound" AS millet
seeds as not specially provided for 9th
erwise, it comes under this section and
must pay 5000 per ton duty, which
probably either the American Econo-
mist or the Marion Register will read
lily admit is sufficient to cover the diff
ference in the cost Of production at
home and abroad. together with rea-
sonable profit to the owner OF the
home product.
The millet seed schedule is a joker
all right. and if the rule has been fol-
lowed. some one knew all about 1t at
one time. and the insertion was made
with malice aforethought.
