Ieges, enlishIeLmc is circumscrib bed,
and a limit placed on the machinery
that does the worlds work.
Education means to the Individual:
Freedom of thought; the knowledge
of high moral standards; ability to
help others thru useful inventions;
develops a refining influence on the
mind thru acquaintance Of the useful
and liberal arts; creates an atmosphere
for good that others may see and de-
sire to initiate and have.
These things are essential in the
making of strong, reliant citizens. A
nation is what it's individuals make it
therefore it is necessary for each to
be at his best-and the safe way is
thru education. The world depends
on the people who know for its
planning, leadership and doing-and
one can see that there will be no pro-
gress unless folks are equipped.
Washburn college and its students
spend half a million dollars yearly
in Topeka Some may think this
benefit - and it is. But it is small
when compared to the greater benefits
the people of Topeka receive thru
educational uplift and moral atmos-
Phere that comes by having the college
where all the people feel its influence.

river current struck the south bank
Just under the bridge and Immediately
was diverted to the extreme north
bank, reaching the north bank just
above the intake for the waterw orks.
Now the main current of the river fol-
lows the south bank of the river to
the waterworks, and then swings into
the center of the channel. When the
intake was constructed, there was no
water there whatever. The intake was
located well back on sand bar. The
high water has secured out the new
channel and is delivering the main
current exactly where it will do the
most good.
Fought With Kaw 40 Years.
Kellner. who. TO use his own ex-
preston has been fighting with the
Kaw river for forty-five years and
knows heE tricks" says that with the
recession of the high water, the chan
mel VIII remain exactly where it is
now, and whenever there is water in
the Kaw liver there Will be water
at the intake.
The jetties have also stopped the
cutting of the north bank opposite the
waterworks intake. There is at pres
ent water running on that side of the
channel. but it is overflow water, and
with the going down o. the river,
there will be sand bar there.
High Water Is of Service.
The present high water is of the
channel, Kellner says. The jetties
which are manufactured in Topeka,
consist of steel tripods of angIe-steef
moored and connected with wire
cables, and standing eight feet high.
They catch the drift which comes down
the river, forming a light barricade,
against which sand and silt impinge
and settle, bringing Obout. in a re-
markedly short time, the formation of
a solid sandbar and then a permanent
bank.
There is a lot of credit due to City
Commissioner StanfieId, for foreseeing
the possibility of changing the chan
mel of the river to the intake, instead
of going ahead and building the in
take clear out across the river" Kell-
ner says He has saved every tax
payer and every water user in the
city money. on the deal"
The installation of the patent steel
jetties is now going forward, Kellner
says, in fifteen states, where river
projects are under way.

Negro Woman of Parsons Committed
10 Jail Hero.

Mrs. Leila McGhee, negro woman, of
Parsons, Kan. was brought to Topeka
Wednesday night by Mrs. Delnora
McGrath, matron of the county jail
and arraigned on a charge of forgery.
Mrs. McGhees according to officials
was visiting her cousin, Mrs. Amanda
Davis, 1865 Lane street. Tom LilIard,
local attorney, had given Mrs. Davis
a check for s5.25 for doing the family
washing, it was said. Mrs. McGhee is
said to have obtained the check and
made a copy of it. with which she re-
placed the original and cashed the real
check. Mrs. Davis did not notice the
forgery, but the bank did, and re-
turned the check. Mrs. Davis took
the matter up with Lillard. who swore
out a warrant for the McGhee woman.
AlthoN officers said she admitted her
guilt, she pleaded not guilty when ar
raigned in the city court and was
committed to Jail in default of bond.

A military correspondent of the
Manchester (Eng) Guardian writes:
in life as replete with adventure
MS was that Of Christian De Wet dur
ing the Boer war; there were said to
have been countless occasions when
the Boer hero went near to death
The nearest occurred in 1901, when
the guerrilla leader, at the height OF
his fame, was extrlcatlng his raldIng
column from its affair In the Cape
Colony. He was headed of by sew
eral of the pursuing detachments.
From one of these couple of very
young British cavalry troopers had
been sent on forward patrol. They
stopped at wayside store and
stabbed their horses In back shed.
"When the Boer commando came
through In haste the woman Of the
store, who was friendly to the two
English boys sent them up into the
garnet above her shop Here they
crouched with their rifles at the ready
while the scouts and the main body
of the commando went through. Then
a Cape cart came along and drew up
at the store to elicit some lnforma-
ton. In II were seated Christian De
Wet and President Steyn.
THE corporal recognized De Wet
from the pictures he had seen, but
though his finger was upon the trig-
ger his heart failed him. AS he said
In r0ss-examnatlon afterward. 1
had not the heart to shoot a man in
"civies" in cold blood This lad's
natural scruples probably prolonged
the Boer war by eighteen months. OF
such incidents Is history made"
