EATON, o., August 9.-Believing
that he will shortly return to Eaton
no official action has yet been taken to
locate Sheriff William S. Boner, who
disappeared Wednesday following the
detection of shortage in his accounts
amounting to $1,800. His bondsmen
are inclined to believe he will return
and it is probable they will not ask
for, his apprehension until after the
lapse of reasonable period of time
The funds which Boner is said to
have mis-applied were due the county
from real estate sales. This fund Bon
er usually deposited in the Twin Val
ley bank at West Alexandria. The dis
covery of the shortage would doubt
less have not been made for some
time had it not been for the fact that
one of his fourteen bondsmen, Sher.
man Mills, of West Alexandria, is an
official of the bank. Mills knew at
what figure the account usually stood
and when it had dwindled down to
only SO his suspicious were aroused
and he started an investigation. Mills
came to Eaton and learned from Coun
ty Clerk Jones that $1,000 should be
in the fund. Mills returned to West
Alexandria, but on Tuesday wrote
Boner, asking the reason for the short
age. The letter was received on Wed
nesday, and Boner left that afternoon
without offering an explanation or ad
vising even his family.
Writes to His Family.
He went to Richmond, from which
city he mailed three letters to his
wife, explaining the situation. He
bade her and the family goodbye, add
ing that he would not return. and was
also going where "they could not find
him"
The more intimate friends of Bone1
declare that the fact he mailed al
three letters from Richmond tends tc
show it was a struggle for him tc
crush down his desire to return home
Boner's disgrace is attributed to the
fact that he was good fellow" 1t is
said that he had been drinking a lit
tie and playing poker These are also
considered factors in the expenditure
of the county's funds.

Although LIE Conte had been in of.

MANY LAWS.
DECISION OF ILLINOIS SUPREME
COURT KNOCKS OUT STATE
MEASURES.
WILL CALL EXTRA SESSION
Bill Appropriating 100000 for Univer-
sity of Illinois Is Declared iiiega!
Because 1t Was Not Printed Be-
fore Final Passage.

Springfield, Il.-Ihe state supreme
court has handed down a decision
which affects the validity of many of
the most important laws and appropri-
alton bills passed by the legislature
during the last forty years
The court held an appropriation OF
100000 for the medical department OF
the University of Illinois to be uncon-
stitutiOnal on the ground that the bill
in its final form was not printed be-
fore its passage by the legislature.
The 100000 item was inserted in the
conference committee report and
rushed through the legislature In the
closing hours of the 1911 session.
AT each session for many years bills
have been passed without fulfilling
the constitutional requirement that a
bill and all its amendments must be
printed before final passage.
AS a result an unprecedented situa-
tion exists.
Governor Deneen probably will con-
vene the legislature in special session
to rectify the mistakes of past years
before other measures, whose validity
is in doubt, are attacked in the courts.
Many important bills are affected
by the decision OF the court, including
the following: Omnibus appropria-
ton bill, making appropriation for the
expenses of the state government for
the ensuing two years; omnibus bills
making appropriation for the seven
teen state charitable institutions; SEN
atorial apportionment under which
general assembly members have been
elected for last ten years; Cook coun-
ty civil service bill; bill providing for
payment into the state treasury of all
fees collected by state officers; mu-
nicipal court civil service bill; Chi
cago parks civil service bill; Chicago
police pension fund bill; state game
commission bill; appropriation for
sites for state armories and armory
buildings; appropriation for new
buildings at state fair grounds.

the lives of persons on the American
side of the boundary.
Following the receipt of this com
munication a delegation of citizens
from Ell Paso, headed by Mayor G. r..

with Secretary of War Stimson. They
appealed to the secretary OF war to

EIGHT DIE IN BURNING MINE
Work of Rescue Is Prevented by

Lehigh, Okla.-Eight miners en-
ployed in the coal mine of the Wichita
Coal & Mining company, one mile
east of Lehigh, lost their lives when
fire broke out in mine No. 5, entomb-
ing the men in the pits.
The filling up of the shafts with
smoke and the failure of the machin-
cry to work prevented their res cue.
Six dead bodies have been recovered
from the mine and the work is still
being pushed. The fire is still raging
in the mine, and it Is not believed
that any of the men within the shafts
can be alive The number of these
is estimated variously by different Of

The statistics of the fire department
of New York show that at least 25
per cent Of the fires in that city are
caused by the careless use of matches
and of lighted cigars and cigarettes
Is it not time that this awful risk to
others by careless smokers should be
taken account of by the law? 1t is
not q trivial matter. The tossing
aside of lighted matches and cigar
butts without seeing where they land
should be as much Of penal offense
as bomb-throwing or incendiarism. A
careless cigarette, as far as known,
caused the great fire in Baltimore, one
of the biggest in the worlds history
and wholly preventable. A careless
match caused the recent fire in New
York, with its loss Of valuable life and
much loss of property-also wholly
preventable. The careless user of a
spark of fire is an enemy of the pub
lie Welfare and ought to be treated as
such. We are as yet primitive in out
outlook upon vital facts.

MEN TEACHERS.

Recently there has been much dis
cusgion in educational circles Of the
need Of men teachers in the higher
grades, and some effort has been made
to attract them to the work, without
any appreciable results. There must
be something about the calling OF the
teacher-either it's pecuniary rewards
or its range of opportunities-that is
inadequate to attract and mold men
who might take up this calling as
life work. The average man teacher
uses his position as a makesh1ft,
stepping-stone and means OF livelihood
while he studies for the law, the medt-
cine or some other profession. says
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. Usually
the man teacher leaves at the earliest
opportunity for more fattering and
lucrative fields of endeavor. 1t would
seem that teaching would be the most
enjoyable work for the student or
books and of human nature, but the
fact remains that men as rule do
not SO regard it. 1t must be admitted
that the profession of teaching does
not hold the financial attractions of
men that are offered in other profess
Bions. The years Of preparation re-
quired. the constant study necessary,
the investment In books and other ex-
penses make a severe drain on the
teachers income which ia small at
best II it be true that there is real
demand for more men teachers. the
chances are that the demand will be
supplied when the compensation is
made commensurate with the services
rendered

lNDICT CASH REGISTER MEN
Violation Of Sherman Antitrust Law
Is Charged by Federal

company of Dayton, o., were indicted
on charges of criminal violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law by special
federal grand Jury here.
There are three counts in the 1nd1ct-
ments against the officials and en-
ployes of the company. The first
count charges that nearly all competi-
tors concerned have been bought out
or driven out of business. 1t is
charged that restraint has been In
operation for the last twenty years,
although the specific charge Is con-
fined to the last three years. 1t 1s
said to have been affected by bribIng
employees of competitors and trans

chimes. The second and third counts
charge the defendants with monopo-
lizing the cash register business by
the same means.

A very pleasant prediction has been
made by a college sociologist that the
United States is due for war in 1880
and that this nation will be in the
wrong, as probably by reason of its
wealth and importance, it will have
become an international bully. He
bases this assertion on the evidence
of history. But to Offset this are the
facts that the direct rule of the people
is becoming more and more the ma
tional ideal of government, and that
with the people as a whole vitality in
control, the peace sentiment will be
stronger than ever. 1t Is upon the
masses, not the classes, that the hort
rors Of war chiefly fall, and the ele
ment of self-interest will then be more
engaged in the preservation of peace
than ever before in the history of the
world. In the meantime, potential
academic wars need not seriously af-
feet the national peace Of mind.
