HE KILLED HIMSELF.
Neal VermiIlion, Santa Fe Shopman,
Committed Suicide.

Neal Vermillion, of 321 Klein street
committed suicide at his home by swal-
lowing a quantity of carbolic acid
this morning. He went to the coal
house to drink the acid and died within
a short time.
Mr.. Vermillion was employed in the
Santa F'e shops and is said to have
an excellent reputation. He is survived
by his wife and one son and one
daughter.
A small son died about three months
ago. This, with dependency. is sup
posed to have caused him to commit
the rash act His wife saw him about
the time he drank the acid and spread
an alarm among the neighbors but he
died before medical attention could be
furnished.
He was off duty today on account of
holiday and this is thought to have
permitted him the opportunity of which
he took advantage.
DR. j. H. Rinehart, as coroner was
called. The body was taken to Shella-
barger's undertaking rooms. The ar
engagements have not been made for the
funeral. DR.. Rinehart has decided that
an inquest will not be necessary.

FOR CITY JAIL MATRON.
Sheriff l.. l.. Kiene Favors Bill Be-
fore Legislature.

Concerning the measure providing
for a matron in the county jailS,
which has passed the house, and is
before the senate, Sheriff L. L. Kiene,
of Shawnee county, has made the fol-
lowing statement:
Il am strongly of the opinion that
such an official is very much needed
in the large cities of the state. In
our county Jail we now have about
ten women prisoners, and it is not
only inconvenient, but unjust to them
that we are compelled to handle
them entirely by male jailors There
would be less opportunity for scandal
and conditions would be immeasur-
ably improved if there could be a
provision for a matron whose duty
it would be to look after these pris-
OnerS.
I'VE are installing a laundry in our
county Jail in which the clothing and
bed clothing of the prisoners will be
washed, and we need somebody to
supervise this work, and the matron
would be the proper person.
Il am satisfied that you would be
doing good service for the COM
munity if you would pass this meas
ure now pending in the Iegislature'

COST Topeka $3.50.
But New Auto Law Is Good One, Says
City Clerk.

If the bill which has passed the senate,
and is being considered in the house, pro-
viding state automobile licenses becomes
a law, it will eliminate the sum of $50
from the city treasury. The price on
licenses is al present a flat rate of 81
with so cents additional for the tag. Elk
actly 254 licenses were issued from the of
flee of City Clerk C. B. Burge in 1872 The
last number to be given was Topeka
1071.''
Mr.. Burge declares that the city can
easily sustain the two hundred dollar
loss. and adds he considers the proposed
measure an exceedingly good one.
Many of the smaller towns,'' he ex-
planned, have no registration at all
cities of the second and third class have
no official numbers. The new method
will save confusion in case of accident-if
a Topeka car ran over a Lawrence wom-
an, the driver, owner and history of the
machine would be learned Immediately
from the office of the secretary of state;
II Will consolidate work and information
The revenue derived will be used for road
taxes: taxes received from Shawnee coun-
~ VIII improve Shawnee county roads,
The fact that the city clerk issued auto
mobile licenses led many to believe that
ne issued marriage licenses as Well Mr
Burge was often quite bewildered by the
ingenious couples who blushingIy demand
ed a license When they were handed
an oblong blue tag bearing the I'M
romantic inscription, Topeka $780, they
were nonplussed.

HUNGRY KIDDIES..
Garfield Teacher Brings Them
Food for Dinner.
Some of Them Were Going
Hungry-Real Problem.

What's the use of feeding a kiddie's
mind with reading and writing and rithme-
tie when his tumnly is half starvei for
slice OF bread and butter? Just what's
the useY How can a -youngster learn tiIe
rule of three when the region belies.t1
the beIt of his ragged knickers is empty?
And how can he sing Sol. III. SOL when
he wants to bury his head on his desk
and sob for his lost luncheon"
This was the very pathetic problem that
confronted Miss Helen Lindsay, eldest
daughter of DIR. w. s. Lindsay, who is
substitute teacher in the Garfield public
school. Most of the Riddles scampered
home after the twelve O'Clock whistle
footed it's hoSpita BILE invitation. A small

and turned their thin little backs upon
their astoniShed teacher.
Aren't you going home TO lunch. chill

her own lunch box.
Nom" returned one small chap, eye
ing wistfulIy the dainty sandwiches, I'VE
amt goin' to have no lunch.
Come on invited Miss Lindsay, sit
up here by me, and have some of mine.
The kiddies tumbled unceremoniously
to the platform. After that Miss Lindsay
furtively increased her number OF sand
witches. her rosy apples, and her slices of
cake. Half a dozen hungry children We're
fed from her magic loaf.
She must live in a house like the fairy
story concluded a slim little maid in a
patched blue pinafore. bread for walls,
and a roof O. cake. Oh,-my!' The next
day Miss Lindsay brought big box of
food to school and fed the children who
had no dinners.
The question is. why have a board of
education and superintendent of public
instruction, municipal board of healtn.s
and a public dispensary when youngsters
aren't getting enough to eat? Why lead
the way to the Tree of acknowledgements
exploited-when an apple tree would be
more to the point? A youngster can't
learn when he's hungry.
