For the benefit of those who became some-what "fussy" because of the change in the-management of the State Hospital at Osawatornie, the Press Bureau calls attention to the "old way" of disposing of the bodies of old soldiers at that institution, which Barney Sheridan's "Western Spirit" submits as a fair example of the methods that have prevailed in the management of the Osawatornie Hospital for the insane for the past fourteen years, prior to August 1st, 1913. The mater of the burial of the old soldiers at -that institution was investigated by Grand Army Post No. 322 of Osawatornie and they reported the matter to Department Commander Harrison at Topeka. The Post went to the trouble of disinterring the body of a soldier who was burie.l on July 31st, 1913, in Elmdale Cemetery, Osawatornie, and they found that although $50.00 is paid by the county where the soldier belongs, for the purpose of giving him a docenf burial, an old soldier by the name of Alexander Randall from Sedgwick county was buried "in a worm eaten, marred coffin with old, faded out covering and no lining, a coffin that no one would knowingly buy; that the body was sewed in a sheet, put in the old coffin without a shroud or robe" and thus buried without notifying any i 2 Fort Riley Military Band, Bethany Concert Band, Bennington Band Minneapolis Band, Salina, Band 5 Bijj Free Acts and a Bijj Street Parade Daily All Kinds of Carnival Attractions A Solid Week of Fun.

The need for a new school building in the Wesleyan addition has led members of the Salina. school board to ask the question, "Should Salina change its style of school buildings in the future?" At present Colorado Springs is giving such a change a trial. Small cottage school buildings of one room each are taking the place of the one large building.

It is claimed that the new plan is more healthful, more economical and more efficient than the old plan. Residents of the Wesleyan addition arc now asking for a new school building. They say that they will not be satisfied with, a four room building, although a structure of this size would take care of their wants for some time to come. The Colorado Springs plan provides for cottages of one room each, instead of the regulation school building. Each separate building is designed to obtain the best natural light on all sides, is ventilated by windows alone and eliminate the danger of death by fire.

The cost of several buildings would be less than that of a large building. The Colorado Springs plan is practically new. although it has been tried out in cottage kindergartens which have given the greatest satisfaction. An administration building with rooms for the principal and an assembly room, is the center of the cottage plan. The rooms are separated by curtains which may be rolled up to provide the auditorium.

When the enrollment of the school increases a new cottage is built near the adminis tration building. Each cottage has a capacity for fifty or sixty children. When the enrollment increases an additional cottage is built. This plan would be an ideal one in the Wesleyan addition and the school in South Salina could be built for its present capacity, instead of for future needs. The heating plant for the school is centrally located, as is the playground.

Only ope small excavation for this heating plant would be needed and this would save a great expense alone. A one room fire proof cottage could be built for the sum of about $4,500. To build a fire proof six room building would he needed. In the cottage the halls corridors and costly decorations' that add to the expense of a building would be entirely eliminated. A great deal would be saved each year in insurance alone as a residence rate of about thirty-five cents could be secured on each cottage, while sixty-five cents is the lowest rate on a large fire proof building.

The cottages could he built, of lumber. 'No heavy 'material would he needed. There would be an absence of costly fire escapes and no danger whatever from fires. The maintenance of the school under the cottage plan would be less and the taxpayer would receive the same educational benefits for his children with less cost to 'himself. If the cottage plan proves that it coutaius all of these features there is no reason why it could not be tried in Salina and the need of a school building in the Wesleyan addition gives the opportunity with a small expense to the school board and the taxpayers, for giving the plan a trial.

NEGRO LYNCHING THREATENED. Missouri People 'Aroused Over Negro's Crime. Springfield, 111., Sept. 13 For the first time since the memorable race riot in Springfield in August, 1903. there were threats of a lynchirig here tonight, following the arrest and confession of Charles Banks, a negro, 18 years old, that he had been thwarted in an attack on 10-year-old Theresa Marie Akins, this afternoon, when she was on her way borne from school.

Edward O. Akins, father of the girl, an employe at the Springfield Paving Company's plant, went to the police station. His demand to see the negro was refused. He was excited, but departed without making any threats, after the 'police had couseled with him. Though there is excitement in the extreme southeast portion of the city, where the girl lives, the police anticipate no trouble and say no serious threats have been made.

The fact that the girl had escaped serious injury has a tendency to i silence inflammatory talk. According to the girl's story, corro-1 borated by the negros confession, she was seized by Banks and dragged to a near-by corn field. BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREWS Will Meet in New York Next Month For Five Days Several thousand members of the Brotherhood of St Andrews will meet in New York from October 1 to 5. inclusive, for the 1913 Convention that organization of men of the Protestant Episcopal church.

This coa-vention will immediately precede the general convention of the church which will last about three weeks. The Brotherhood was founded in 1883 by James L. Hougbteling of Chicago. The object of the organization is "the spread of Christ's Kingdom among men by prayer and personal service:" Since its small beginning the Brotherhood has grown 6teadily until now it has a chapter in nearly every parish in the United States aud tb.9 territories bejpid the seas. tie short of a He would not rote to continue the present law in effect 'I voted for the Senate Tariff said Senator Poindexter.

'because it is, as a whole, a better bill than the Payne-Aldrich Law now in "By no subtilities of argument is it possible to get away from the plain fact set forth by these two senators, that a vote against the Wilson bill was a vote for the existing law. "It is one of the ironies of the political situation that, in general, the senators who arpused the country' to thriffqulires or the should have been left in the rear by advancing public sentiment. So the progressives of 1909 became the standpatters of 1913 and voted with Penrose and Smoot to continue the special privilege Payne-Aldrich Law on the statute books." This ought to cure any Democrat who has hitherto had any hankering for the gentleman who has gone over Kansas in recent years preaching "Progressive" doctrine and denouncing the Payne-Aldrich tariff.

S. "THE PROSPEROUS CHURCH" Many Men Heard Rev. Vanorden en This Subject Sunday morning Rev. A. E.

Vanorden. at the First Presbyterian church delivered a sermon on the subject of "The Prosperous Church." He made a strong appeal to every church member to have them co-operate with the church, to make it a strong spiritual power in the community. Following the morning service Rev. Vanorden invited the men of the church to meet with him in the lecture room of the church. He was greatly encouraged at the unusually large number of men who were present at the morning service, and of the large number of that met in tc lecture room after' the service.

All the members seem to be in favor of doing all in their power toward making their church a prosperous one, and the coming year promises to he an extremely successful one.

member of the Osawatornie Post and without care or ceremony. Mr. Sheridan further charges that old soldiers have been thrown into the ground "half naked and in worm eaten boxes year in and year out and the full amount, so generously fixed by the Kansas legislature, charged for the burial. Two and three bodies have been thrown into one big basket and delivered to a political undertaker to be buried without care any more than is given to the body of a drowned cat. Here is an echo from the Amrine administration at the Industrial Reformatory at Hutchinson.

Some time before Amrine went out, a large number of beeves and hogs were killed and rushed right into cold storage without having gone through the necessary process of cooling. The result has been that several thousand dollars' worth of meat has- been spoil ed and the state is compelled to haul it out by the wagon load and destroy it. It begins to look like the Board of Corrections knew what it was doing when it fired 1 Mr. Amrine, who paid at least as much attention to collecting political assessments from the employes of that institution as he did to looking after the state's interest.

T. S. INDIAN ELOPERS ARRESTED. -eft Haskell Institute to Marry, But Are Caught. Topeka, Sept.

15. An Indian romance that started at the Haskell Institute at Lawrence, came to an abrupt end last night, at the police station in Topeka. Two runaway couples, the girls both students in the Indian school, and one of the boys enrolled this year and the other an alumnus, left Lawrence last night on Union Pacific No. 101. arriving in Topeka at 11:33 o'clock.

They were picked up at the Santa Fe statron about 1 o'clock this morning, on receipt of a wire from the superintendent of the institution. -The girls gave their names as Nellie Matthews, age 18. and Mary Jones, 1G, John Moses, 21, is a student at Haskell. The other boy, William Lewis Pappan. attended Haskell last fall and played on the foot ball team.

All four voted unanimously not to talk last night, beyond vouchsafing the information that they had intended to go to Stillwater, get married. They did manage to give out that there were four couples in the party that left Haskell, but two girls backed out before they got to the station at Lawrence. The superintendent at Haskell is expected in this morning to take the truants back to learn- more of the ways of the white man. Have you any thing for tale? Union want column will bring results.

107 North PRISON COAL GONE MYSTERIOUS SHORTAGE IN FUEL AT LANSING. Penitentiary Used Thirty-One Thousand Tons of Coal in One Yiar. Topeka. Sept. There is one item of news which the esteemed "Topeka Capital" has let severely alone, and that is, the coal scandal at the Kansas penitentiary.

The use thirty-one thousand tons of coal by that institution alone in a single year staggers all belief. It does not seem possible that such an amount could have been consumed by the institution. The little water plant at the penitentiary is charged with twenty-nine hundred tons. That is more than was used by the. Water Works of the city of Topeka during the same period in the pumping of water for a city of iniiabitants.

Speaking of this, the "Washington Palladium" says: "It is safe to say that the amount of water pumped by that plant is not as much as is pumped by the city, of Hanover or the city of Greenleaf, yet if one-half that amount of coal was used at either place, there would be things doing for the criminal court." But this is not the first coal scandal at the Kansas penitentiary. A long time ago the "Kansas City Times" then owned by Dr. Munford forced an investigation and uncovered a coal steal that involved the Warden and the Prison Board so extensively that the bunch was allowed to resign under fire and the investigation stopped before it was fairly started. When the Farmers' Alliance elected the House in 1830, an investigating committee found another coal steal in full blast. It was remedied before the Republicans were driven from power in 1832 and the "war" of 1833 prevented investigation of its extent.

But coal is not the only thing which has caused scandal at the Kansas State penitentiary. It is a common joke amongst the prisoners that the hogs raised at the penitentiary farm are "hamless," and there is every indication that men sent to the penitentiary for the violation of the law? of the state have been used to further other violations of the property rights of the people of Kansas. The Press Bureau expects, later on, to place before its readers some interesting information on this subject. S. J.
