for help. The man with the black

There was a motor car filled with po-

man slid down a steel pillar OF via

the arms of q waiting policeman.

AND STILL He BLOWS
Weir City Dynamiter Takes Shot
on Daisy Hill.

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 5.-The dyna-

dence when an attempt was made to
blow up, a vacant house at Daisy Hill,
suburb.
The explosion occurred Thursday
night and fifty men. patrolling the
streets OF Weir City, rushed to Daisy
Hill and kept up an all-night search
but failed to find the man.
A New Theory Advanced.
Weir City, Feb. 5.-Citizens here
believe the numerous attempts in the
last month to wreck buildings with
dynamite have been made for the sole
purpose of defeating a bill now before
the legislature carrying an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the erection in this
city of building for the housing OF
the state school of mines.
The editor of the Weir City Journal,
a weekly publication, after an ex-
haustive investigation gave out the
following statement Thursday:
Il believe that jealousy of towns
where state schools are established is
partly responsible for the explosions.

that Weir City is a wild and woody

LAYETTES TO BELGIUM
Topeka Women Send a Hundred
With Letters of Explanation.

One hundred layettes will be sent
to Belgian women refugees in travail
by members of the Mothers Congress
at Topeka. A second hundred will
follow when completed. A donation
OF talcum powder and silver nitrate
was secured from DR.. S. J. Crumbfne
dean of the medical school, and this
will accompany the layettes. All
equipment necessary to successful de-
livery in childbirth is contained in
each layette.
Since few Belgian women know the
purpose of silver nitrate as a preven-
tive of blindness in infants, a para
graph of explanation has been insert
ed in each package.
'The letters were translated into
Belgian," commented DR.. Crumbine
but the translation did not destroy
the rugged directness of the Kansas
language. 1t was as clear and spe-
c1fic as our own vernacular"

JANUARY WAS MILD,
Government Reports on Weather for
Month for Entire State

January, 1915, was comparatively
mild and pleasant in all parts of
Kansas and exceptionally favorable
for winter wheat, as shown by re-
ports of stations of the weather bu-
reau, which are located in nearly
every county of the state. There was
more precipitation than has fallen in
any other January in the last eight
years. and 1t was we'll distributed.
Temperatures ranged considerably
above normal the first half of the
month and the last days. but severe
weather from the 10th to the 18th
made the average for the month close
to normal. The highest temperatures
generally occurred on the 14th and
18th. and the lowest on the 23rd and
2Sth. The highest reported was &c
degrees on the 18th at Sedan and on
the 18th at Liberal and Richfield
The lowest temperature reported was
% degrees below zero at Holton
Oketo, and Harrison (Burroak) on
the 28th.
There have been only winters in
20 years time that Kansas has re-
ceived as much snow in December
and January as it has this winter to
date and there have been none when
rain and snow have fallen on as many
days during December and January.

il is probably true that only few
exist which have read the law and

Mace in the constitution OF any such
firm by death or withdrawal OF any
member thereof, or by the addition OF
any member thereto, statement OF
such change or dissolution shall also
be filed in the office Of the treasurer
within one month from such change.
That the penalty is not slight Tor
delinuuents is evident from Section
3415 which reads as follows: =
Penalty IS Per Day. s." IT,. =.....
Penalty for noncompliance. The
members of every copartnership who
shall neglect or fail to comply with
the provisions of this chapter shall

shall also be seyerally liable upon con-
viction to penalty not exceeding five

Treasurer McCarthy's letters have

visible gossamer.
Spider showers have from time to
time been made the subject of scien-

them gives this description OF the phe-

On the morning OF this shower
there had been some electrical dis

peal Of thunder but no rain. At ten

Upon looking about he discovered
that the houses, walls and trees

them; and that other gossamer webs
were continually falling from above

whom they were speedily devoured.
At one O'Clock the clouds vanished,
the sun came out, and the observer no
