INDIAN ADVANCEMENT.

The Indians of Skidegate are de- termined to be civilized. They are Low installing improvements that will make their village the most modern Indian settlement on the Pacific coast.
 It will be somewhat of a shock to those familiar with the customs Of the Indians to learn that the Skidegate villagers are spending their own money for light and water systems. Such things are unheard 3f in Indian towns The Saturdya night bath threatens to become an institution among a race that has always regarded water as useful only for fishing purposes and to float canoes.
 The Indians recently received $2,OOO from the provincial govern- meut in payment for the right-of- way for the government road thru their reserve. Upon the advice of Mr. Thomas Deasy, Indian agent, they decided to spend this money fo a light and water system for their village, and Prince Rupert plumb CT is putting in the pipe-fittings and hydrants.
 Twenty-eight men have been busy on the dams that will supply wa ter to the town, and 4,OCO feet of water main has been laid. A quan- tity of fire hose is included in the equipment of the system.
 The lighting improvement will be a remarkable advance over native methods. Street lamps of 2,OOO candle power will be installed No native settlement in the North Pacific can compare with Skidegate when these improvements are com pleted.-Prince Rupert Empire.

Postoffice Employees Return Package
of Bees as UnmailabIe.

The parcel post regulations state
that a queen bee with a few attendants
may be sent through the United States
mails-but a swarm of bees is pro-
hibtied. Topeka postal authorities as
sured themselves of this fact while a
drove of honey-makers buzzed about
the pages of the government statute
book.
One of the carriers meditatively bal
anced a flat wooden box, two feet
square wonder what's in it ?" quoth
he.
"Queer shape" responded one of the
postmen.
The inquisitive carrier raised the
twine that bound the box and lifted
the lid an inch. He dropped the box,
yelled, and fled prec1pItately. The
postman followed suit
A swarm of bees circied and wheel

BLOW To FEE GRABBING
Attorney General Issues Order in
Lyon County Case.

Fee grabbing in Kansas counties
under the new fee and salary law was
blocked today by an order issued from
the attorney generals office in a case
appealed from Lyon county. In that
county several of the officials had in
sisted on holding out their entire u
months salary in their semi-annual
report for June 80, and also insisted
on receiving their pay under the fee
and salary law for the last half OF the
year.
When reports were received by the
Lyon county board from the county
officials. they found that the probate
judge, register of deeds and clerk of
the district court had retained their
entire annual salary from the fees
for the first six months of the year.
Under the old law these officials we're
allowed S1.4OO a year for their serv-
ice, the money to be paid from the
fees of the offices. Each of the three
officials insisted on keeping the S1,400
from their June report
An appeal was taken to the attor-
ney generals office today by R. B.
Shepherd, chairman of the Lyon
county board. After reviewing the
case, s n. Hawkes., assistant attorney
general declared that the officials
could retain but 500 for the first half
of the year and beginning with July
l should receive the salary provided
by the new fee and salary law.

"To Learn the Ways of the
WorId,c She Writes.
LEAVES NOTE FOR HFR MnTHFr
Her Sweetheart Had Called on
Her in the Evening.
At 1 O'clock This Morning Her
Absence Was Discovered.

The sherif's Office is puzzled over the
disappearance of Julia Randall, the 10
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs E.
H. Randall, 35s Green street, who van
ished under peculiar circumstances last
night and has not been located. A
note found in her room at 1 o'clock
this morning was addressed to her
mother and declared she had gone out
to learn the ways of the world Her
mother is frantic and her father, who
was closeted with Sheriff Kiene this
morning, is ready to scour the country
for his errant girl.
We don't know what to think said
Mrs. Randall over the phone this
morning, 4 almost feel 1 shall never
see her again. 1 can't imagine what
induced her to run away. She has al
ways been a little vida little fond
of excitement-but she never ran away
before
Julia was employed in the stencil
department of the Daily Capital ana
drew her wages last night-but didn
mention the fact to her parents. Sne
is an attractive girl-slender, blue eyes,
brown hair-and dressed for a date
in the evening. Clyde SIocum, 10
year-old youth from North Topeka, is
exceedingly fond of Julia He had an
appointment to call on her Friday
night.
He left at 1890. and is the last
disappearance
Goodbye" she laughed, as he left the
porch, you won't see me for long
time. I'm going to St Joe"
L wouldn't do that" he responded.
Julia went to her room, pinned on
a hat. slipped into tan Norfolk jack
ct, scribbled a note to her mother and
left the house.
Mr.. Randall, who is employed by
the Edison company, did not reach
home until after midnight After
his wife had given him his lunch, she
made her nightly rounds to see that
her three youngsters-Julia is the
oIdest-were securely tucked in
Rain was pelting against the win
dows as she opened Julia's door and
stepped into the black room. The
bed had not been opened. No one
was there. Mrs. Randall hastily
struck a match and discovered fold
ed scrap of soft paper on the dresser.
Dear mother" it read, 81 have
gone out to learn the ways of the
who will take care of me, and 1 will
have anything 1 want and will be a
decent girl.
saTell clyde I love him best of all
and will come back to him some Of
these days and for him to love me
anyhow"
Some time between 1920 and 1
o'clock Julia had crept from the
house-where, no one can tell. 1t is
the opinion of the sheriff's office that
the girl did not leave town. The first
east bound train is 4 O'Clock on the
Rock Island. The mention of the old
lady in the note throws no light on
the situation Deputy Ed Carver spent
the morning in search for the missing
Julia.

half of the grasshoppers in this county

farmers recently scattered over their
fields. according to a report of P. A.
A. Claassen, state entomologist-
Mr.. CIaassen made a 40-mile drive
through the county and said the num-
Der of dead hoppers was almost in
credible. He said from so to 60 per
cent of all the pests have been killed
and that another spreading OF the
noisoned mash would exterminate them
in this county.
At one farm house surrounded by
cornfields he estimated there were from
no 600 to 5000 dead hoppers. They had
crawled to the sheds of the. house after
