SOLVES BOY PROBLEM.
kinsley Minister Builds Pond for Their
Amusement and Benefit.

Kinsley, Kan. Aug. 29.-Rev. Mr..
Heyse. pastor of the Congregational
church of this city, has a new solution
to the boy problem and a new devel-
opment of the church in the social
problem. The proposition is THE Kins-
ley Kooler,'' q pond 80 by so feet, rang
ing from three to five feet in depth,
and having a capacity of $4,000 gallons.
The floor is cemented with gyp, and
two ropes are drawn over the surface
for safeties. Two pipes drain the bot
tom of the pond and in one month $780,
900 gallons of water have been pumped
into the kooler.
A neat little bathhouse stands con-
veniently by, and this was built by
the Rev. Mr.. Heyse, and is property of
his Sunday school. The funds for the
pond venture were subscribed by bust
ness men, and the deficit was made up
by the boy swimmers themselves. We'd

and the kooler is well patronized at

Every wideawake, pushing town will
do some kindness to reciprocate those
who trade here and helped build up
this solid trade center, hence the Bust
ness Mems club of Beloit opened wide
their doors to entertain the thousands
to a free barbecue dinner. And Be-
lott merchants too, set a wise exam
pie in keeping their stores closed all
day. For the first time in the history
of the city the milling company, this
mammoth enterprise, closed all day.

DESTROY SCHOOL PROPERTY.
Boys Enter Building and Break Up
Laboratory Equipment.

Belleville, Aug. 29-About thirty
school boys between 8 and IL years of
age have been arrested here charged
with destroying $500 worth of school
property belonging to the city schools.
Included in this is much of the labora-
tory apparatus and other valuable ar
ticles which cannot be readily replaced.
The boys are all more or less impli-
Gated in the affair and belong to some
of the most prominent and respected
families of the town. They gained en-
trance to two or three of the buildings
and, it is allie ed. deliberately broke up
the school property. The case is being
tried in the juvenile court today. One
of the boys was paroled about two
weeks ago for breaking into house
near town. For the latest offense sew
eral of them are facing a term in the

going after the work with a vim that
is a surprise to all. For years there
has been three blocks of land on the

il was low and marshy and not a
suitable place for a building site. Late

necessary for this land to be utilized

was, and greyously as my law partners
complained of the time it took, and OF
its probable effect on business (since no

there was in doing little to comfort

more, TO compel in one city, at least,

jury trial were demanded for her, and

to have a little regard for human rights

lice practice of arresting persons 'on sus-
pieion' and holding them at the will and
pleasure of the police without putting
charge against them; two or three
trials before jury, the members of
which could very easily be made to
see, when it was pointed out to them
a few times in the course of a three
days trial, that there is nothing more
absurd than that policemen should make
of people merely by suspect

The most appropriate time to drive, OF

large entrance for the bees to pass
through into the new hive. Then set the
hive thus prepared beside the old hive,
setting the old hive on top of it. Thus
far we have had an easyffask, and we
are now ready to begin to make the bees
move, and to do this we will pry up the
head of the old hive sufficient to allow
an entrance for smoke, and begin to
pump the smoke into the top OF the hive.
Do this gently in the beginning, and
as the bees 60 down, pry the head up
more and so on until the head is entirely
off. BY this time the bees are beginning
to enter the new hive, and by gently
smoking them they can all be driven
into the new hive, and when they are
all in lift the old hive up and
slip a cloth over the new one so as to
confine the bees in it, and set the old one
to one side. We are now ready to take
out the combs, brood and honey from the
old hive, and here we must be very care
