LANSING SHORT OF WATER.
Some Boilers in State Prison May BE

Lansing, Kan, Jan. 1S.-Lansing is
without hydrant water because the
river is so low that the prison pump

A bad fire in Lansing would be par

every precaution is beine taken to

cry fifth man in our army is suffering
from some disease which can be at
tributed to the adjustment of the
canteen. No other country in the civ
ilized world can equal this rate.
Spread of Diseases.
"In America she declared, nearly
20 per cent of the soldiers are suffer-
ing from loathsome disease, due di-
rectly to the fact that they have no
canteen to patronize, where they can
purchase beer inside the military re-
Servations. Instead, the men in the
army are compelled to visit the dives
and brothels outside the army posts
Attempts have been made in the
past to restore the canteen, but they
have failed. The question has been
debated by both it's friends and op-
ponents on the floor of the house.
Those opposing the canteen have ar
gued that it makes for drunkenness in
the army, that it keeps out of the
army some of the best young men,
and that the moral effect produced by
Uncle Sans selling liquor to the SOL
diers is bad. These arguments inva-
riably have won when the matter has
been put to a vote.

REFoRMAToRY ASKS $4,000.
Trades to Be Extended and Old
Building Replaced.

Hutchinson, Kan, Jan. 1S.-In ad-
dition to it's regular annual appropria-
ton, the reformatory will ask for a
special appropriation of $4,000 from
the legislature during its present ses-
sion.
This appropriation is for the extend
ing of the trade work within the IN
Stitution.
The destruction of the manual
training building at the reformatory
by fire greatly hampered the trade
work of the institution and sent the
wood work and other departments
back into cramped quarters in the
main building.
1t is for the purpose of gaining a
new building that the special appro-
priation will be asked from the legis-
lature.

Women Talk for Canteen.
Not only men, but women as well
have appeared before the committee to
urge for the canteen. One of the
latter is Mrs. Alice G. Burbank, wife
of Brighten. Burbank, retired, of
New York.
Il am speaking for the mothers,
wives and sisters ofthe enlisted men
in the army" she told the committee.
Il think it is to their interest as well
as to that of the soldiers themselves
that the canteen should be restored
at all army posts
Mrs. Burbank laid before the COM
mittee a petition signed by 2,400
women who have relatives and friends
in the army setting forth the reasons
why the canteen should be restored
In the interest of temperance,
health and morality said Mrs. Bur-
bank, 1.-The congress of the United
States should at once take steps to re-
store the canteen. Statistics will prove

WHISKY in PARTY
Coroner to Probe Death of Boy
Found Frozen.
Revolver Was Fired Several
Times by Youngsters.

Leavenworth, Kan, JAM 1S-Coroner
James c. Davis said that an inquest
to ascertain the direct cause of the
death of Walter A. Ingram, the 10
year-old son of Michael Ingram, OF
Morgantown, who was found frozen
to death in an alfalfa field on the
Soldiers Home reservation Sunday
night, would be held in the city court
room today.
The coroner said that his investiga-
ton had reached such point that he
deemed an inquest necessary. He said
that such evidence had been secured
as result of the investigation that it
was more than probable that the di-
rect cause of the youths death would
be shown. Several witnesses will be
examined, the coroner said.
Whisky Party on Ice.
1.-The investigation which 1 have con-
Quoted during the past three days has
resulted in my finding that there was
a whisky party among the young boys
who were skating on the lake at the
Soldiers Home Sunday night" the COR
oner said. Young Ingram was a mem
Der of the party.
Il have learned that these boys
whose ages range from 10 to Is years,
had five pints of cheap whisky and
a revolver. The revolver, 1 under
stand, was shot off several times. 1t
is more than probable that the boy
who was frozen to death, was given
some Of the whisky to drink. The
fact that the liquor was Of the cheap
kind and the boys condition such that
it did not take much of the whisky
to put him in a condition that he might
have wandered off and was lost, when
the party quit the lake.
Parents Find Him Dead.
Most all of the boys who were
members of the party have been 1oca-
ted and will be at the inquest. We
hope to show conclusive evidence as
to how the boy came to his DEATH
When young Ingram failed to reach
his home Sunday night his parents at
once started out to search for him.
They called up the authorities at the
Home but failed to learn any news
concerning the whereabouts of the boy.
At an early hour Monday morning the
parents, accompanied by several neigh
bors, started out to search the fields
adjacent to the Home. 1t was thought
by them that the boy had been over
come by the cold and had taken re-
fuge in field. The body of the boy
was discovered by them shortly after
z o'clock that morning.
