WORK FOR BOYS NOW
 TAKEN UP BY Y.M.C.A.
Fairgrounds Wanted for all Children of
 Phoenix-committees Appointed

Perhaps the most important action taken in the Y. M. C. A. for a long time was that taken by the Commit tee on Boys Work. Tuesday evening of this week. A sub committee was appointed to cooperate with all or ganizations' dealing with boy life in the city. The idea is to make Phoenix a decent place for a boy and then help him to make decent place of it.
 With that idea plainly in view. the first step agreed upon was to move for a playground system. not merely parks, but playgrounds. for children.
 The general committee on Bows Work felt that this city is sadly in need of institutions to enable parents to take care of the boys and girls dur ing the leisure time of the children. and that some steps to this end should be taken at the earliest possible nom ent
 To this end a ub-committee was ap- pointed. as follows: C. T. Hirs-. chair man; J. F. Sprague, Vernon I. Clark. and R. H. Tolleson.
 The members of the Boys Work com mittee present were C. T Hirst. Yer non L. Clark, J. F. Sprague. L. w. Coggins, c. R. Craig. w. w. WiIkin- son. R. H. Tolleson and F G. Fitz- gerald
 Among the other subjects taken up by them in preparation for the win ter's work was the group system Of work. The foundation of the system is Bible study. One and the main. pur- pose of the system is to instiH into boys the true spirit of altruism.
 The need Of a complete and scien- tific survey of boy life of the city was emphasized, and the following was appointed to nave this survey made: R. H. Tolleson. c. R. Craig, J. F. Sprague.
 The need of Investigating the thea | tres and inspecting all films was also | and favorablv acted upon | by the appointment of the following | committee: L. W Coggins. Vernon l.. | Clark, Dr. W. w. Wilkinson.

HEADS DISAPPEARANCE
IS STILL A MYSTERY
Left Hotel in Greensboro Two
Weeks AgO-Has Not Been
Seen Since.

Persistent efforts to find the
whereabouts of B. ]. Head, the
Fordsville merchant, who disappear
ed from home last Monday two
weeks ago, have proved futile, and
no further progress has been made
than ascertaining that Head had
spent Monday night in Owensboro.
1t was found that Head arrived in
greensboro on the Illinois Central
train Monday afternoon and went to
the Columbus hotel, where he spent
Monday night. Before retiring he
stated to the night clerk that he de-
sired to go to Maceo on the early L.,
II. and st. L. train. On Tuesday
morning, when awakened, he got up,
and after eating breakfast, went to
the depot in time to catch the early
L., II and ST. L. train going west.
Heads brother at Maceo has
heard nothing from him, and states
that he did not come to Maceo. 1t is
the general opinion that Head caught
the west-bound train.
While at the Columbus hotel on
Monday night, Head stated that he
had been worried considerably since
having lost some money in Owens.
boro before Christmas, and at times
he was incapaciated and unable to
transact his business. He is said to
have acted peculiarly while around
the hotel lobby Monday night, but
when spoken to, appeared to be in
the best of health.
The fact that Head had some
thing like $500 on his person when
he disappeared, is leading his Inner
date family to believe that he haS
been foully dealt with by persons
conspiring to relieve him of his
MONEY. Further search for the man
will be continued, as his wife is said
to be a nervous wreck as the result
of worrying about HIS disappearance.

Concerning the son of the senior
editor of The Herald and wife. and &
Young lady of Hamilton, O., the
hamilton Evening Journal of last
Wednesday SAYS:
Victor Matthews, %, a linotype
operator at the Journal, and Miss
Ethel Marie Leacock eloped to Cow
ington, KY. Tuesday morning and
were married by Rev. Mr.. Carlisle.
The ceremony was performed at /
O'Clock, after which the couple left
for a trip through the South. Arriv-
ing at Louisville they wrote letter
home, explaining what had taken
place and stating they will be homo
Thursday to receive the parental
blessing. Miss Leacock is only &c
years of age"
The father of the young man was
given a hint of the affair by a tele-
gram requesting him to meet them
at the L. & N. depot in Louisville
last Wednesday morning, and he did
so, spending the day with the happy
couple at the Willard. The bride is
beautiful girl of the blonde type,
we'll educated, a fine musician and a
most charming parsonage. She comes
of one of Hamilton's very best fami-
lies. There was no objection to the
union only the tender age of the
young lady. The groom was born and
reared in Hartford, but for the past
two years has held a good position
as linotype operator on the Hamilton
Journal. He is a fine workman and
a trusted employe. They came to
Louisville and returned by boat-the

LIGHTNING DESTROYS
MISSOURrS CAPITOL
Bolt Strikes CupOIa-Firemen
Unable to Check Flames
Records Lost.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 1.-The
Missouri Capitol was destroyed by
fire tonight. Many OF the records
of the Governors and other State
onices are a complete loss.
The total loss, including the struc-
ture and many records and State pa
0eys in the Offices OF the Governor,
Secretary of State and Treasurer, is
estimated at sl,oCO,ooO with no in
surance
Lightning, which struck the cupo-
la of the dome shortly after o.
clock, spread the flames to the roof
of the Senate chamber on the east
the north. side of the structure and
in less than half an hour it was ap-
parent that the entire building was
doomed.
The fire soon spread to the roof
of the Senat chamber on the east
side, where the efforts Of the firemen
proved unavailing to check it.
The records Of the House Of Rep
Tesentatiyes were destroyed, while
those of the Senate were saved. In
the State Treasurer's Office more
than 100000 is in the time vault,
supposedly 1reproof, and may be
saved when the debris is cleared
away. There is no insurance.
The Legislature will determine to-
morrow whether to continue the ses-
sion here or elsewhere in the State.
Some of the members favor continu-
ing the session here, where smaller
buildings have heen offered by the
business men, while others are for
the removal of the Legislature to
st. Louis. The loss of the House
records practically necessitates the
work of the session being done over.

Court converting at Hartford next

forced an adjournment of the Senate
