The Sentences.
The quartet of prosecuting attor-
neys asked for the death penalty for
all of the defendants, but the work
OF the sympathizers had been 80
effective that the juries refused to
convict for murder but found n
verdict of guilty Of conspiracy. Sidna
Allen was given thirty-five years in
the penitentiary, his sentence to ex-
kpire in 1947; Wesley Edwards was
sentenced to serve twenty-seven
years, his release being scheduled for
1899; Friel Allen was given eighteen
years, to be released in 1880, and
Sidney Edwards drew a sentence OF
fifteen years, which means he will
pardoned.
Sidna and Floyd Allen had a
brother, Jasper, who, although he
did not participate in the Hillsville
horror-he explained that he was
sick and couldn't get to go to the
courthouse that morning'-lost his
life because Of II. Several years
after all the Aliens had either been
electrocuted or imprisoned, Jasper
was caught in a storm in the noun
tains and dropped into a noun
taineer's cabin to seek shelter.
After dining with the mountaineer
Jasper began to drink and became
suriy. The Hillsville horror was
brought up by the two men and dis
cussed with some heat, Jasper in
sisting that his brothers did exactly
right in killing the Judge, common
wealth attorney, sheriff and a wom-
an spectator, and the mountaineer
insisting that they were dirty
cowards." Jasper whipped out his
revolver and leveled II at the noun
taineer, but before he could press
the trigger his host shot him dead.

TEACHER RECORD TO Be KEPT
Franklin County School Boards VIII
Get Aid in Selection.

Ottawa, Kansas. March 2o.-A per-
manent record of qualifications of
teachers in Franklin county will be
made during the coming year, to as
sist school boards of the county in Sc
Iecting teachers, Miss Ellen Larson
county superintendent, who is under
taking the new project, has an
nounced here
school teachers are employed upon
the basis of their applications rather
than upon any qualification which
they might possess or upon previous
merit according to Miss Larson.
The problem of records of teachers
was discussed by Miss Larson at the
annual convention of Franklin county
school boards here recently. The
members OF the boards expressed a
desire to have a record by which
proper information regarding any
teacher in the county might be Sc
cured, Miss Larson reports
There is no system whereby the
boards may secure definite informa-
ton regarding any teacher Miss Lar
son said. THE school board takes a
chance when it employs teacher
without investigation. This often re-
suits in the teacher being paid a
wage above what she deserves, and
sometimes not a sufficient wage"
The Franklin county superintendent
is probably the first in the state to I'M
dertake to keep records of teachers in
the county,

DODGE TELLS HOW 1T FEELS.
Detroit Millionaire Has Nothing But
Praise for Recent Jail Home.
BY JOHN DUAL DODGE.

BY JOHN DUAL DODGE.
Your conception ana my conception
of prison life has been decidedly err
roneous. We both were of the opinion
that prison officials were cruel. burly
bruisers, with absolutely no humani-
tartan motives. Again, we both
thought the inmates were, on the
whole. coarse. illiterate, ruffians, beat
en- and cowed until there was no man
hood left in them.
We were both wrong. During my
enforced incarceration in the Detroit
house of correction for period of five
days, I have been greatly impressed
by one thing. and that is that prison
officials are extremely humane and in
mates are decidedly human. The
institutions administration is to be
congratulated upon the perfection of
the inmates government.
