A veteran named Weldon entered the home on March 20tti. He came up from Kansas City, and recently was sent to the hospital suffering; with fever. Tuesday morning Dr? Yohe went to the home at the request of the authorities and examined Weldon and pronounced hi3 ailment smallpox, pox. The sick man was immediately removed from the hospital ward to the wooden quarantine building near the spring and the hospital fumigated I thoroughly. The man was an inmate of barracks which was also given a thorough fumigation.

The authorities do not fear an outbreak of the disease. Weldon no doubt contracted the dlisease in Kansas City and as he did not break out with it until taken from the barracks it is not thought that comrades in the same barracks contracted the disease. Smallpox made its appearance at the Soldiers' home this winter before it did in Leavenworth. On December 29 a colored veteran named Pias Payton was removed to the hospital and found to be suffering from the disease. He recovered.

Payton was a member barracks. Of MORE SMALLPOX Two more cases of smallpox have been discovered in Leavenworth. Ed Miller, residing at 15th and Sanders is one of the victims. His daughter is just recovering from the disease. The second person discovered to be suffering with smallpox yesterday was Clarence Self, colored, living at 1511 Choctaw street.

Self hauled voters all day Tuesday and hundreds of people have been exposed. There are now nine families quarantined in Leavenworth. Seven patients are at the pest house and two are there who are not suffering with the disease but went there to take cr.re of other members of their families, are quarantined there. A'C COMPANY MAN The first company 20th Kansas man to enter the Soldiers' home will be Walter Reiley who came here Tuesday to make application. Reiley was wounded in the head by a Filipino bullet while company was in the trenches at Caloocan waiting for the advance on Malabon.

He had a peculiar shaped head and it was the source of many a joke at the young fellow's expense. One day while he was sitting on top of a pile of dirt a Filipino bullet came along and knocked Reiley, down into the trench. He was picked up, and taken back to Manila to the hospital, but before the regiment had made its famous advance he slipped out of the hospital and went to the lines. He was seen by Colonel, then Major Metcalf and again ordered to the rear, but the plucky lad went through the fight. Since he was mustered out the service Reiley has been in very poor health, and, as one of his old comrades remarked Tuesday, there is hardly enough left of him now to make a good sized shadow.

COLLINS SEEKS PARDON John Henry Collins, of Topeka, the young man in the prison at Lansing for the murder of his father will try again to obtain executive clemency in his case. His family will make application for his pardon. A pentition has been circulated by relatives of Collins for several months and a lawyer has been preparing an elaborate brief showing the weak points in the prosecution and the strong ones of the defense. Warden Tomlinson, it Is said, will give Collins a good send-off. The prisoner's record while he has been in the Lansing prison has been excellent and the warden, it is reported, will recommend a conditional pardon.

The strong point in favor of Collins and which will be urged strongly by the friends of the prisoner is that he was convicted in evidence of Johnson Jordan and "Crook" Wright, two colored men with very unsavory reputation. THREE FROM LEAVENWORTH Prof. F. W. Elackmar of Lawrence, has announced the committees of the; State Association of Charities and Correction for the ensuing year.

The warm weather has started the buds on most all trees and shrubs. Early peaches were nearly ready to bloom before the snow BOARD WILL, TAKE THE MATTER UP MONDAY NIGHT. XT IS INTENDED TO HAVE THE 1 THREE NEW STRUCTURES HEADY FOR OCCUPANCY BY BEGINNING OF NEXT SCHOOL. TERM WILL GIVE WORK TO MANY CARPENTERS AND MASONS THREE SMALL SCHOOLS WILL BE DISCONTINUED. At the meeting of the school board Monday night, arrangements will De cciiSidered for the erection of the three new school buildings, bonds for which were voted at the election Tuesday.

The location of the new buildings will be decided on in the near future. It is intended to have tnem ready for occupancy at the beginning uf- the next school year. One of the buildings will be located in the district north of Shawnee street and west of Ninth street. The Ottawa street school located at 10th. and Ottawa street and the Kiowa street school, both in rented buildings.

will be discontinued. The pupils of the primary grades living in the Fifth ward attend these schools while the larger dnes are compelled to walk to the Morris school. One of the new buildings will be lecated in the southwest part of the city. The Grand avenue school will be discontinued. The North Leavenworth school building will be sold and another located somewhere in that neighborhood.

The present school, on account of its location, surroundings and its unsanitary rooms, has long been a menace to the health of the pupils who attend there and its sale and the erection of a new building will be heralded with delight by the colored people of North Leavenworth. The present system of heating iae South Leavenworth school will be discontinued and modern heating appliances installed. This will be a great Improvement as the present heating conveniences are very poor and entirely inadequate. The school is already supplied with fines for the fan system of heating and ventilating and the installation of a heating plant will cost but $2,700. The Maplewood school building was not built for school purposes and is pcorly lighted, poorly heated and inconveniently arranged.

It will be remodeled and refitted. The estimated cost is $7,200. After the buildings are completed, the cost of maintaining the public schools of Leavenworth will not be much more than it is at present. The Ottawa street school, with two teachers, the Kiowa school with one teacher, and the Grand avenue school with two teachers will be discontinued There will be the same number of teachers in the new North Leavenworth school as there is in the present one. The three new buildings will, therefore, necessitate but seven additional teachers.

It will cost but slightly more, with modern appliances, to heat the three new buildings, than it does at present to heat the four which will be suspended. The carrying of the school bonds will give many men employment during the summer. Car-( penters and stone masons were beginning to look for work away from home but now every man who wants work can get it as soon as the erection of the buildings is begun. GIRL SLIGHTLY INJURED Lena Harper, a 13-year old girl of this city, was slightly bruised and badly frightened yesterday noon at the corner of 3rd and Delaware streets while attempting to board a south-bound electric car while in motion.

She missed her footing and fell, but continued to hold on to the handle until she had been dragged about twelve feet, 'xhe car was stopped and she was picked up by the street car men and taken to the electric line office. As soon as she had recovered her breath, the young lady declared that she was not hurt badly, but that she would see a physician. She is not badly Injured.
