A PEDAGOGUE ROUTED.

The boys attending Cecilton public
school have held the idea, for some time
that their teacher "a young fellow, by
the name of Mackail, entertained a
strong sympathy for the rebels and their
cause, and on last Monday tested the
matter in the following practical man
ner. Before the arrival of the teacher in
the morning, they holsted Star-SpaI-
gled Banner on the school house, and
quietly awaited further developments.
They did not have to wait long, however,
for although the teacher remained quiet
on the subject until the hour for recess,
he had all the while been nursing his
wrath to keep ii warm" At recess he
sailed forth furiously md attempted to
haul down the flag. The boys, who had
some of the blocd of '76 in their veins,
would not submit to any such indignity,
and Cecilton was in quite an excitement
for a while. The upshot of the matter
was that the Secessionist had to leave
that section and search for a more con-
genial locality.

tains the following conditions:

| exposures by the present administra-
| tion of frauds have resulted in an an
nual saving to the government of more
than $4,000, 900, distinctly an under
estimate"
To show that incoming travellers are
now more honestly declaring their bag
gage as the result of reforms, the
secretary points out that at New York
alone the revenues from travellers i'm
ports have increased from a yearly av-
erage of $685. for the previous ad-
ministration to about $2,100,000 in 1912.
This class of frauds, he says, had
been not only conspicuous, but almost
defended.
Regarding the pending investigation
of the board of general appraisers at
New YorI- by a commission appointed
by President Taft. Secretary Mac
Veagh says the board mas drifted from
it's original institution as a board of
customs review within the treasury de-
partment to a quasi-independence as
a court outside of it. The department.
he adds, needs a board of general ap-
praisers within the department to su-
pervise and unity the apparising work
of the country.
Mr.. MacVeagh urges that all col
lectors and surveyors of customs,
naval officers, appraisers and assist
ant appraisers, collectors of internal
revenue and all like officials of the
y
ment requires confirmation by the
senate be transferred to the classified
civil service. Complete separation of
the treasury service, especially the
classified part of it, from practical
politics is recommended by the sec
retary.
The abolition of all assay offices in
the country except the one at New
York, is urged by Mr.. MacVeagh. All
assay work, he adds, should be done
at New York or at the mints.
Secretary MacVeagh announces his
intention of reforming the treasury
department business methods by a
ment obligations in such a manner as
to avoid exchange on government
checks. He does not divulge the de-
tails, but apparently contemplates the
of government funds at
points over the country
for the payment of checks. He points
out that pension checks, for example,
worth their face value because the
difficulties of collection enforce an
exchange charge.
Other recommendation by the sec
retary include: Construction of four
revenue cutters and a building pro-
gram of at least two cutters yearly
n future; power presses for the bu- |
eau of engraving and printing; pro-
yisfon for disabled and old members |
IF the life saving service; retirement |
pension for civil service employees; |
complete revision of the oleomar- |
yarine law; legislation for the preven- |
ion of the opium traffic, and the Gre |
ttion of a bureau to supervise the |
of laws cooperating |
'lain to executive officials who en-
orce them.

BRIM BEATS TRIO
Honest Farmer Still Ahead of
Confidence Men.
After Talk With Cop He Was
Lost by Gang.

Kansas City, Dec 4-The honest
farmer who believed he was getting on
the advantageous side OF a crooked race
has appeared again in E. H Brim, of
Moline, Kan. They told him the race
was crooked. A small bet demonstrates
how easily money could be won. OF
course, the tipster was entitled to half
the profits for the betrayal of his syn
dicate. A dollar bet, as bait, multiplied
five times. Mr.. BriIn was delighted. So
Mr.. Brim unfold d his wallet and
risked more.
He won.
Mighty fortunate for him, the trio of
confidence men that he had met at the
depot, said.
81 can't get any more money until
Monday, boys" Mr.. Brim said Then
I'll get $500 more from the home bank
the first thing Monday morning"
They took him to Excelsior Springs
for the weekend. This morning when
they arrived at the Union depot, Mr.
Brim stepped aside and asked a police
man if the game was perfectly safe.
TT ain't,'' the officer said, twirling
his club as he sauntered away.
Mr.. Brfm's plans Changed; so did the
trio's. They lost Mr.. Brim in barber
shop. Mr.. Brim is a guest at the Kup-
per hotel

Progressive senator's" said he "since
the election, but SO far as | know
there is no plan for the organization
Of a separate party in the senate.
ST suppose we will do as we have

Senator Bristow expressed the be-
lief that congress would do little be-
tween now and March 4, except to
dispose of the Archibald impeachment
trial and pass the necessary supply
bills.
Senator Charles Curtis was telling
some stories of the recent campaign
at the White House a few days ago
One of these was about the treasurer
of the Bull Moose local committee at
Topeka advertising for funds for
running the campaign there. Some
body sent the treasurer a, bale of hay.
Henry Allen of Wichita has become
the Washington correspondent of the
Kansas City Star. He will remain
here during the present session of
congress, and possibly continue his
service for the Star during the coming
Democratic congress. Mr.. Allen sue

cent of the stock of the Kansas City
Stockyards company of Missouri had
been deposited with Kidder, Peabody
and Company of that city and it was
almost certain that Kidder, Peabody
and Company would extend the time
for such deposits 80 days in an ef-
fort to get in as much more of the
stock as possible before the new
company, known as the Kansas City
Stockyards company of Maine, takes
active control
Already IL per cent more than the
original limit set has been forthcom-
ing. In their circular Kidder, Pea
body and Company said that unless
at least rs per cent of the stock of
the Missouri company is deposited for
exchange on or before December
we may at our option be relieved from
all liability hereunder by returning
the stock deposited"
This makes it very evident that
the promoters of the new plan are
anxious to have as much Of the stock
in their hands as possible before
names of new interests are given.

VICTIM Will DIE
Peter Schnack Shot by Mother
Riley, She Admits.
Doctors Fail to Find Wound in
First Search.

Larned, Kan. Dec. with the
chances for life a thousand to one
against him, Peter Schnack, who was
shot by Mother Riley at her home
here on the afternoon of November 21
is gradually sinking, and the charge
against the woman may be changed
from shooting with felonious intent to
kill, to murder in the first degree. Mrs
Riley is being held in the Pawnee
Mystery surrounds the shooting OF
young Schnack.
Neighbors heard the shots and made
an investigation. They found Schnack
lying upon the floor paralyzed from
the waist down, but could find no
wound, although he told them that
he mad been shot in the stomach.
Later al the hospital, small bullet
hole was found in the shoulder. X
ray photographs of the wound showed
that the bullet had hit a rib and
glanced downward, lodging in the
Vertebra near the waist.
Although the surgeons said the
chances against his recovery were a
thousand to one, an operation vas
made upon Schnack and the bullet
removed. Parts of two ribs were cut
away to get to the bullet.
He Sought Another Man.
Before the operation a statement
was made by Schnack. He told the
officers that he had gone to the 2iley
womans home in search of another
man. Ine woman told MN that the
man was not at her place and when
he insisted, drew a revolver and shot
him.
Although Schnack was found lying in
a room in the house, there was no bull
let holes or blood found there. The
neighbors had heard several shots
Later a bullet hole was found on the
outside casing of the rear door, show
ing that the bullet had been fired
toward the house, from the outside
Peter Schnack, known here and at
many other places as Santa Fe Pete"
is a member of a very influential fam
lily. His father, John Schnack, is
owner of the Larned opera house and
other valuable property. His brother,
Henry, is proprietor of the Schnack
clothing store, in which are also in
terested two other brothers, Charles
and Martin. Another brother John
runs the opera house and the Electric
theater. He also has a mother and two
sisters at home. Peter Schnack. an
uncle for whom he was named, is also
a very influential citizen. and he is the
owner of much valuable property in
and about Larned.
He Pays No More Fare.
Schnack got the name of Santa Fe
Pete from the fact that he has ridden
many hundreds of miles on this rail-
road and he is known among railroad
men as Santa Fe.' It has been said
that he has ridden more miles and paid
less fare than anyone living in this part
of the state. Schnack was of pleas
ing disposition and was popular here.
Mother" Riley, whose preliminary
hearing has been postponed to await
the result of Schnack's injury, is gen
orally conceded to be of unsound mind
She is said to be addicted to the use
of drugs and liquor to excess. She has
been in trouble a number of times in
the past, on minor charges but has
never been convicted
The woman, who at first denied the
shooting. now claims she shot Schnack
in self-defense.
