SHE DEFIES POLICE
Circus Lady With Revolver Holds thu
Fort Before Large Audience"

Chicago, Sept: 24.-Mrs. Nellie La
pearl, esquestrienne with a famous
circus, today was playing to the most
appreciative au Hence in her career.
More than two thousand persons
were gathered about her South side
residence, while a dozen cops-bent
on arresting her and a group of
friends on charges of disorderly con-
duct-were held at bay by a big re-
volver in the hands of Mrs. Nellie.
The cops had been on the Job since
early last night, when one OF their
number observed several male motor
lists enter Mrs. Nellie's home. He
started to investigate, but changed
his mind when she produced the re-
VolveF.
Mrs. Nellie, on guard at the second
floor window, pleaded with the crowd
at intervals during the night to step
back so she could bowl over a few
policemen"

WORK FOR. COUNTRY SCHOOL
State Move To Place Rural Education
r on Par With City's-

Another move has been made in the
direction of giving the country the
advantages Of the cities. The revi-
sion of course of study as completed
by the state board of education has
included introduction in primary
grades of rural schools of the meth
DDS of hand table work, paper cut
ting and folding and other hand work,
that has been included in the graded
schools. In fact, rural and graded
school courses of study will be COM
bined, This will save extra binding
and printing and it will help rural
schools to acquire methods of stand
ardized schools and benefits of the
graded schools in towns.
1t will destroy in measure the
gulf that has always existed between
the city and country children.
Methods for conducting primary
grades will be included in the first
part of the course and the second
part will lay the foundation for the
use of text books to be used in the
seventh, eighth and ninth month
terms. Ethics will also be included
in the new course for the rural
schools in Kansas.

Early Morning Gossip.
FURNISHED by the Topeka Board Of Trade.

Chicago, Sept 24-The Herald says: Ae-
tive buying of bids corn after the close
Saturday was said to be based on the week
ly weather forecast which came out late.
Sentiment of the trade was mainly bearish
on the belief that there Ia little outside
support and that the Eprice is likely to slip
off quietly before the trade In general is
aware that break is on. The theory of
the bulls is that there is too great a dis
count between the December and the cash
corn and that there is TO be no accumula-
ton in supplies such as TO make the short
side safe until after the end of December
Some traders who are bullish on corn are
bearish oats. Most of the trade was
bearish on oats owing to the weakening

prices shaded again on resumption of pro-
