KANSAS HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS.
There Are 24,O75 Enrolled, 20 Per
Cent Over 19O7-S.

Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 26.-Statistics
just compiled by Prof. w. H. Johnson,
head of the department of high school
visitation of Kansas university, show
that there are 24,075 pupils in Kansas
high schools this year. These figures
represent an increase of 20 per cent
since the year 1s07-0S. when there were
1887 enrolled. There are 1,157 teachers
in the 262 high schools. The number
of instructors has increased 16 per cent
in the last year and their average sal
aries have been advanced an average
of about 81 a month in the same time.
The number of boys who finish their
high school course is on the decrease,
however, and only one-third of the high
school seniors this year are boys. Last
year the boys made up 80 per cent Of
the high school senior classes.
The question of the boys is one that
is causing high school instructors a
great deal of worry at the present time
These figures show that the manual
training classes have not been able to
check the exodus of the boys from high
school about the sophomore and junior
years.

WOULDN'T STAND FOR 1T.
Agra People Run Hypnotic Professor
Out of Town, Using a Few Eggs.

Agra, Kan, Feb. 26.-Last evening
the people of our usually quiet little
town were given a taste of something
rather out of the ordinary at the opera
house A bum" company, calling
company. undertook to play a two
night stand here. The first night only
few were in attendance and they
fixed" the supposed victims with a
"hunch." But the second night ar
rangements were made to fix the
professor and his bunch-not with a
bunch, but with eggs.
While the professor had two of his
company in a very serious cataleptlc
condition an egg hit the professor near
his center up and down. and as his
face was in the other direction he was
surprised and not a little alarmed,
but managed to resuscitate his vic
tins and crawl under the floor, where
he had the opportunity of meditatfng
on the things which interest man
most under conditions of that kind.
He was under the floor until or
dered to crawl out and take his medi-
cine When he left the opera house
he broke into lively run, which prom

he hit a patch of ice and lit on the
spot where the first egg hit him. Raj
lying, he made another wild dash for
the hotel. but was too slow. for the
boys got him and broke a few more
eggs on his silk tile and streaked his
hair up until it didn't look a bit
cient warning to all such companies to
steer clear of this burg. We don't
believe in such methods only in ex-
IRENE cases, but when the opera man
ager won't throw a company of this
kind out of the house in a case of this
kind the public should take the mat
ter in hand. They left this morning,
buying tickets for Mankato.

KEEP ON BOILING. y
City Officials Say the Water Should
Be Boiled Yet.

some time will be required for the
mud and dirt to be removed from
the water mains and pipes said c.
A. Miller, foreman of the city water
plant yesterday. 1.-The leaks in the
mains have been repaired, but the
mud in many districts has not been
washed out. 1t seems to me it would
be unwise to use the water yet with
out boiling it,"
Since the break in the pipe at the
pumping station nearly two months
ago many Topeka people have been
using the distilled water from the
Topeka Pure Water company and
now since accustomed to pure water,
the city variety will not taste the same
as of old.
L. A. Ellis, manager of the
Topeka Pure Water company has
made arrangements to purchase
about fifty water coolers for use in
the business houses and offices. The
coolers will be shipped next week and
those desiring to purchase or rent
coolers should telephone or see Mr.
Ellis as the supply will not last but a
few days.

DOG HAD HYDRoPHoBIA.
Attacked Wife of Policeman Who
Then Killed 1t.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 26.-When
Patrolman Joe Gorzkiewiez arrived at
his home for dinner today his wife
warned him that a dog would not let
him go in the back way. But the pa
trolman could not see why and went
around the house to investigate. When
he started up on the back porch the
dog set up a growl and showed his
teeth, but two bullets put him out
of the way.
Mrs. Gorzkiewiez was kept in the
house all morning on account of the
dog. She started out the back door
to hang up some clothes, but the dog
barred her way. When she attempt
ed to go around the house from the
front door she was forced to set down
her basket of clothes and run into the
house again. It is believed that the
dog had hydrophobia.
The policemen have killed several
dogs lately that have showed vicious
ness.

RACING FEVER IN HERNGToN
New Race TraclS-Good Horses-Plan
Colt Show.

Herington, Kan, Feb. 26.-The race
track is a busy place nowadays. Two
big barns are under construction,
60x4O feet, and considerable work is
being done on the track in getting it
in shape for use and when completed
will be one of the best in this part of
the state.
The demand for high class racing
material among horse enthusiasts was
never better than at present and prices
for trotters and PAGERS that have dem
onstrated stake class were never
higher. In view of the curtailment in
the way of betting this condition may
seem to the casual observer some
what strange. but it must be remem-
bered that betting has never played
the part on the harness turf that it has
on the thoroughbred turf.
The state fairs have done much to
give harness horses a large earning
capacity apart from the betting angle,
and the growth of the fair idea is fast
taking root.
The colt show that is being arranged
for this fall is to the advantage of
every citizen. The colt show two years
ago was the most successful affair ever
held in the county and there is no
reason why this one can not be better.

Twenty-Five Slept in Pittsburg's Jail

Pittsburg, Kan. Feb. 26.-From the
way the city Jail was crowded by the
