"A SLANDEROLJS TONGUE.
(William Allen White
Editorial Emporia Gazette.

Kansas papers are now telling the
story of a young school teacher Of
the Holton neighborhood who was
made the target of the gOssips.
She was teaching a country school,
and boarding in one of the neigh
borhoOd houses, and for some reason
unknown, a busybody told a malic-
ious story about her As usual. in
such cases, the yarn was passed along,
and acquired new trimmings as IL
went, and soon assumed threatening
proportions. And also as usual, the
young teacher was the only person
in the neighbOrhood who had not
heard the story. She was, therefore,
greatly surprised when the local
school board demanded her resigna-
tion. She had been doing her duty
energetically and well, and she could
not understand why she should be
humiliated in this fashion. She de-
manded an explanation, and the mem
bers of the board told her of the
stories in circulation, which stories
reflected upon her character. She
was not the sort of woman who
withers like a flower that is waiting
for the rain. She got busy and traced
the story back to its origin, and had
o'ftA a. hAbuNhs aOhAE
ed before the school board. and they
were forced to admit that the story
started with them, and that there
was no shadow of foundation for it.
The teacher was completely vindi-
Gated, and the board begged her to
take the school again, but she
wouldn't hear of it, saying that no
money could induce her to remain in
community of scandal mongers,
where grown men would pay serious
attention to attacks upon a woman's
reputation without investigating their
truth.
A great many hats are being taken
off to that young woman, and the
regret is general that she stopped
where she did; the gossips who did
her such a brutal injury should have
received all the punishment that the
courts can inflict.
This is rather unusual case, but
the teacher was wrong in supposing
that the people of that community
were more given to scandal than the

MURDER MYSTERY
BORNE BY LETTER
Ben Bradshaw Killed in Spring
field, Tenn Police Seeking
His Family.

News OF what may be a murder
mystery with Richmond man as the
victim has been sent To Chief of
Police Werner IN letter from Mr.. c.
b, Butts. a merchant in Springfield.
Tenn.
Mr.. Butts wants information regard
ing the family OF a man named Ben
Bradshaw, who was killed in Spring
field last week, and who. according
to a witness held In that city. lived
in Richmond. on Twelfth street. An
other Richmond youth. named Jere-
miah Winston. also believed to have
been seen with Bradshaw shortly be-
fore the death Of the natter. winston,
however has disappeared.
Major Werner's correspondent does
not go into the details of the death
of Bradshaw In his letter. He merely
asks that the family OF the dead man
communicate with him at once.
The local police department is
conducting a search but thus far with
out result. There are no Bradshaws
listed in the city directory as living
on Twelfth street.
A soldier named William NJ. Brad
shaw was killed In Pocahontas, Kans,
about one week ago while out shoot
ing. but Chief Werner Is not inclined
TO believe that the latter and the
man referred 10 by Mr.. Butts are the
same.
The letter to Chief Werner follows:
