TOPEKA WOMAN ROBBED.
Lost Pocket Book But Thief Over
looked Diamonds.

Garden City. Kan. Feb. 9-Mrs. ].
A Melvin, who has ben a guest at the
windsor hotel for the past few days
and left on The Santa Fe for her home
at Topeka. had the misfortune to lose
her pocket book but afterwards had
the fortune to have it found less some
of its contents.
Mrs. Melvin, who left on the early
train, was carrying a number of bun
dies and thought she had the purse
which was one of the large handbags
tucked securely under her arm and
did not discover her loss until she was
comfortably settled on the train which
was then well out of town. She at
once notified the conductor who wired
the Office here from the next station
and thorough search was made.
At the time there were number of
people in the station and all the in
Quirles were Of no avail and it was not
until after O'Clock when the waiting
rooms were vacant that the bag was
found lying in one of the seats. The
find was made by the night express
agent who at once turned 1t OVER to
the office.
Upon an investigation it was found
that a small purse had been taken
which contained a ticket to Dodge City
and $685. in money. There were
other valuablts in the bag, which We're
overlooked by the one who got the
money. The articles We're: Three
valuable diamond rings, two pearl
rings, one diamond brooch, one pearl
necklace. one gold watch, one gold
charm set with two diamonds, two
solid gold neck chains a pair of solid
gold sleeve buttons and q number of
other small pieces of jewelry besides
the regular outfit that usually goes into
a iady's pocket book
AS it is she is very lucky to get back
what she did and the money lost is a
small item compared to the rest as the
whole value would run good deal
above $500 a great many of the
things were keepsakes.

CHANCELLOR STRONG TALKS.
Believes That Football Rules Should
BE Changed.

Lawrence Kan, Feb. 9-Chancellor
Strong of the University Of Kansas, in
a statement regarding the proposal of
the board Of regents to modify or
abolish the game of football at the
state institution, says, THE objections
to the present game are in the minds
of most people well grounded, deep
seated, and strong enough to endanger
the game in, believe. a large part of
the west unless something is done to
substantially modify the present rules.
I should not be surprised to see adverse
action on the part of governing boards
of universities and colleges and even by
the legislatures in the different states.
II am speaking not as an opponent to
football. but as its friend, and from
much observation and some knowledge
of the game. So far as am concerned.
myself. I feel sure that a fair chance
will be given to solve the difficulty -
the present American game.
1T seems to me that the right thing
now is for everybody to give the matter
full and careful consideration, without
prejudice, so far as that is possible. so
that the question may be considered in
all it's fundamental bearings and the
solution arrived at may be satisfactory
and permanent"

*. Z. WILL NOT GET HASKELL.
Unless Congress Reduces Number of
Indian Schools.

Washington. Feb. 9.-Haskell insti-
tute probably will be retained by the
government as an Indian school. There
are about twenty-five Indian schools
and recently the commissioner of In
dian affairs recommended that the
number be reduced to five. This rec
ommendation was made by Commits
sioner Valentines predecessor, Com
missioner Leupp.
Congress did not adopt Mr.. Leupp's
proposed plan for the reorganization
of the Indian school service, as it was
vigorously opposed by delegations of
all the states that have schools. and
the recommends of Mr.. Valentine
will meet with similar opposition.
Senator Curtis has conferred with
Commissioner Valentine, who has said
that if the number were reduced he
would recommend that Haskell Insti-
tute be one of the five retained. The
recommendation that several of the
schools be abolished led to report
that the government would turn Has
kell Institute over to the Kansas uni
VerSity.
