TOWN AND COUNTRY IN BRIEF
NeighbOrhoOd News Of the Past,
Present and Near Future

Harter, teacher OF plaLo, harmony
and history. Class will begin
May l.
The members Of the eighth grade
of the Laclede schools were royalty
entertained at the public school
building April u by the freshmen.
A fine program was @ndered, after
which luncheon was served in the
reception room.
W. L. Matsell Of Brunswick is
visiting Laclede friends this week.
Mr.. Matsell has partially recovered
from the injuries he recently re-
ceived in an explosion, but his hands
are still in bad shape and will pro-
badly trouble him for a long time.
j. j. Bailey has let the contract
for raising his two houses in the
north part of town and putting in
new foundations and for placing
ITO feet of granitoid walk along
the front of his property, with
granitoid walks, inside leading to
the houses.
The park has been thoroughly
cleaned and received its first now
ing of the season Monday. The
grass is growing we'll now and
looks beautiful indeed. With the
addition of new band stand and
a few walks, Laclede would have
the prettiest and most attractive
park in North Missouri.
Just for the novelty of the trip
and the exercise, Misses Loretta
Clay, Kathryn Blown, Roxana
Rankin and Esther Rowland walked
over to Brookfeid Friday after
noon, making the trip in an hour
and thirty minutes. They got
enough exercise walking one way,
however, and returned home on
the train.
j. Clair Lomax, who has been
engaged in mercantile business in
Idaho nearly three years, came
home the last of the week to spend
his vacation with his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Lomax, and
family. Clair is looking we'll and
is doing we'll in the west. He
likes the climate and people and is
we'll pleased with business con-
ditions out there. The other La
cledeites at Nezperce are well and
doing fine.
In q business letter to the BLADE
j. w. MilIburn of Fargo, Okla,
says that they have a good pros
pect for wheat and other crops this
year. Kafir corn is SO cents per
bushel and many farmers are now
threshing their last years crop,
the weather having been so bad
during the winter that it could not
be done sooner. They expect a
big fruit crop this year. Mr..
Millburn expects to make q visit
back here next year, and sends
best wishes to his many old friends
and invites them to come and see
him.
The city officials made wise
selection in the appointment of A.
v. Moore as street commissioner.
Mr.. Moore and Eliza Skulley have
been doing some excellent work on
the streets the past week. State
street on the east side Of the park
has been graded up so that the
water can drain of and put IN
better condition than ever before
and It is likely to be a long time
before jit gets as muddy again as it
was recently. And the same is
true Of some other streets where

GERS was Rear Admiral Benjamin Pif-
fer Lamberton, who died at his home
here. The second was Rear Admiral
William Henry Everett, who died at
Newport, Rhode Island, where he has
lived since his retirement
Admiral Lamberton had a distin-
guished record. He was Admiral
Dewey's chief of staff and commanded
the battleship Olympia at the battle of
Manila Bay, May l, 1898. 1t was Adj
miral, then Captain, Lamberton, who
received the surrender of the Spanish

welt. Not one Of them would make any
statement regarding the Rough Riders
attack of Saturday, nor could any OF
them be induced to discuss the general
situation.
over in the Roosevelt camp, how
ever, things were different, Mr.. Dixon,
campaign manager for the colonel, de-
clared that he is not going to quit the
fight until after the contests have been
decided one way or the other, contrary
to report which has been current. He
may not quit then, he added.
OF the political situation he had a
good deal to say. Among other things
he asserted that the Taft men on the
committee are planning to throw out the
Roosevelt delegations from California,
Washington and South Dakota. MIS-
souri's delegation also hangs in the bal
ance and may be found wanting when
the convention roll is called, said the
senator.

ACTING GOVERNOR T|CKtED, TREASURER
GR|NS AND JOSH TUCKER Says NOTHING

"Josh," said Acting Governor Mott
Smith to Land Commissioner Joshua
Tucker yesterday afternoon, "you did
it. If it wasn't for you L don't think
[ would ever have declared Cleanup
Day a holiday, but you certainly do
deserve holiday for the way you sold
those Kuliouou lots, SO L did it. sa
'Well," replied the land commits

day. L always feel all broke up the
day afterwards. Besides it knocks the
spots out of the office staff and makes
them fit for nothing and we re up to
our necks in work.
There was considerable Joy yester-
day in government circles over the re.
suits of the land sale held Saturday by
the government. Acting Governor
Mott-Smith, however, was inclined to
be severe on the land commissioner
when they first met.
You promised me that those Ku-
liouOu lots would bring $780," he de-

$l2,S50."
Treasurer Conkling cast a wise eye
on the results and carefully adjusting

assessment day, placed them under the

she'- argued, "there must be something
wrong with official estimates and if
we've been too lenient with beach

Defect
Land Commissioner Tucker was
laeonic as usual.
"Do l know where the bidders and

Meanwhile the government is busy
adjusting itself to the new conditions
and has about decided that it is be-

Wilhelmina Today.

The Matson Navigation Company Is
liner Wilhelmina win arrive early this
morning. She will dock at the Hack
field wharf where she will land quite a
large cargo and a number of passen-
gers. Captain Peter Johnson, skipper
of the Wilhelmina, will not be ON the
bridge when she arrives here, as short
ly before she reached the Coast on her
last trip up, he was taken sick, and had
to be removed from the ship upon her
arrival in San Francisco. His place as
commander of the Wilhelmina is being
Oiled by Captain Charles Peterson, for

BY HIS FRIENDS
LONG NOSE WEEDEN
Spots CARRUTHERs

Forty years ago when the British
ship Savoy Fair was still afoat, trim
and sound she carried in her crew two
English lads, Apprentice Weeden and
Apprentice Carruthers who were ship
mates adoat and great pals ashore.
Back in the home port they drifted
apart, signed on different ships, sailed
up and down the seven seas and many
minor bodies of water and during forty
long years saw nothing and heard moth
ing of one another.
Now Apprentice Carruthers had one
distinguished feature and that was his
nose. No one who ever saw his pro-
file could forget it and yesterday as
Captain Weeden stood on the bridge of
the Lurline in Honolulu harbor and
looked across at the skipper of the
British tramp Ikala standing on his
bridge he immediately recognized the
long lost Carruthers.
Captain Weeden shouted to Captain
Carruthers and was promptly hailed
and recognized. There was not much
comfort in gossiping over old times at
long range so Captain Weeden shouted
that he would be over to see CarrntheIs
but the British skipper was just taking
up his Jacob Is ladder and throwing off
the lines, bound for Melbourne, Austria
liza So 1T was just a happy coinci-
denee, hearty greeting and a hasty
parting after nearly half century of
separation.

STATES PRISONERS
Ar SAN QUENTIN IN A
BLOODY INSURRECTION

SAN QUENTIN, California, June 10.
In bloody revolt against their
guards, in which one of the prisoners
was killed, number of the inmates
of the prison here rebelled yesterday
and refused their food, declaring they
would starve before they would again
eat the "stuff' the prison authorities
served them.
"The grub strike - as it is called at
the "pen,' broke out at noon and be-
fore the riot could be quelled one of
the guards had shot down and killed a
prisoner and two long term men had
been desperately wounded One of the
guards was severely injured by fly
ing pepper cruet, which struck him on
the head and knocked him senseless
for some time,
The rioters broke out of the mess
hall and into the kitchens, which ad-
join, demanding better food. The
cooks and TRUSTEES aided the guards
and turned the jets from the steam
pipes used for washing the dishes, into
the. faces of the mob, and drove it back
into the eating room, where the guards
subdued it.
By far the major portion of the 1900
prisoners were not involved in the de-
nonstration.
Even after the disturbers were safely
locked up in their cells their bowls and
ragings continued.

the negro in his proper place. Only
now are they awakening to the fact
that by this policy they have kept
themselves generation behind the

realize that the negro can work TO ad.

the whole South in consequence is be-

At last there has come to Honolulu
to investigate conditions surrounding
our working girls a competent and ex-
perienced worker in social problems in
the person of Miss Frances Blascoer of
the Russell Sage Foundation. She ar.
rived on the last trip of the Siberia
and is here at the solicitude of the
Kaiulani Home for Girls,
Miss Blascoer has been engaged in
the study of social problems for the
past ten or twelve years, and has done
some most noteworthy and valuable
work in her chosen field-the study and
amelioration of evils affecting the mod
ern social fabric.
During her visit to the Islands,
which will probably be for at least five
months, Miss Blascoer intends to make
an Industrial Investigation of condi-
tions affecting the girls and women,
with view to finding what opportuni-
ties there are for unprotected girls and
what needs to be done to put the girls
on a self-supporting basis. Tt is pos
sible that number of occupations that
have not been developed, may be dis.
covered which will afford a better
means of livelihood and more whole.
some conditions than some others that
now furnish employment.
Girls in Groups.
Miss Blascoer is going to investigate
the girls in groups. One group of girls
will be the graduates from the public
schools; a second group will be girls
of the public schools who left school
before graduation. A fourth group
will be the graduates of the Kawaiahao
School, and the fifth group will be the
girls of the Industrial School. Miss
Blascoer will also make "a study of
conditions surrounding the girls of the
Kaiulani Home.
Theme us in contemplation the build
ing of d home for working girls which
will fit them for their work, and in
this connection Miss Blascoer will
make study of the occupations af-
forded girls in Honolulu, and will rec
ommend the elimination of those which
are poorly paid and the substitution of
Others better paid which maybe adapt
ed to local conditions.
