THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1897. HE'D BLACKSLIDE. YOUNG WOMAN WANTED HER PROTEGE PUT IN ANOTHER CELL. She Selected Oscar Bridges, an Alleged Train Robber, Then an Alleged Diamond Thief-Was Confined With Alleged Burglars. Thomas Barnes is a young man who professed to have been converted in the county jail some time ago by the band of religious women who make regular visits to the jail.

On the strength of his alleged conversion he secured a rebate of twenty days from his sixty days' sentence for petit Tarceny, but a days a ago he succeeded in landing in jail again, this time on the charge of burglary and grand larceny. Barnes, who is now in jail under the name of M. Devinney on the charge of breaking into the residence of C. A. Jones in Hyde park, has D.

Ryan and T. Carney, his alleged associates, for cellmates. Yesterday one of the young women who secured his "conversion" asked that Barnes be removed from the contaminating association with alleged burglars and requested that he be placed with Oscar Bridges, who happens to be one of the alleged Blue cut train robbers. The young lady in looking over the collection of prisoners thought that Barnes' chances of backsliding even further than he has already would be lessened by confining him with Bridges. When Informed who Bridges was, the young lady recalled her request and then wanted her protege placed with a man whom she described as "a benevolent looking bald-headed gentleman." This individual happened to be George Kaufman, who is charged with stealing a valuable diamond, and is to go back to Chicago.

After these revelations had been made, the young woman insisted that Barnes be placed somewhere else, but the chances are that he will stay where he is. The probability is that Barnes' moral nature will receive no worse shocks with any of the other prisoners than 1 it has already sustained or is liable to experience with his cellmates. HER INTEREST IN THE ESTATE. Mary A. Hall Takes in Boarders for an Heir's Share in an Old Man's Property.

Mary A. Hall is emphatically of the opinion that if the laborer is worthy his hire, landlady is worthy of her In a suit which she brought yesterday against Price and Clara Johnston, Public Administrator Seehorn and others, Mrs. Hall alleges that Clara Johnston hypothecated her interest in the estate of one Solomon S. Smith for board for herself and Price Johnston at the bargain counter price of $3 weak each. per Mrs.

Hall alleges that for eleven long weeks she served the usual delicacies of the season until a debt of $66 was chalked up against Clara and Price Johnston, but Instead of transferring her interest in the estate to Mrs. Hall, the Johnstons, she alleges, have neglected to do so and Mrs. Hall wants the court to collect her board bill for her. A SALOON FOR CENTROPOLIS. County Court Grants a License to John Houl, Who Did Not Secure Legal Petition.

The county court at Independence yesterday took up the application of John Houl to run a saloon at Centropolis, and with very little ceremony granted it. The application was filed a week ago, and has since lain in the clerk's office, without the usual remonstrance being filed. Last January the court refused to grant a license for Centropolis, owing to the lack of police protection, and the antipathy of many residents to a saloon. It requires 22,000 names to a petition, and no one has ever been able to secure a legal petition. PARKER MAY GET LITTLE OF IT.

His Judgment Against the MetropolItan Liable to Be Divided Among His Creditors. The Metropolitan Street Railway Company filed an interplea yesterday in the circuit court requiring creditors of W. Eugene Parker to prove up certain claims against a judgment for $2,125, which Parker secured against the company. As told in yesterday's Journal, Parker tried to levy on the Ninth street cars Wednesday under an execution, but the sheriff refused to make the as attachments covering nearly the entire judgment had been run. The company wants to pay the money into court and let the creditors settle their troubles among themselves.

Men Who Like' the Poor Farm. J. C. Lee, the resident physician at county poor farm, filed a report with the county court yesterday, in which he set out the names of fifteen inmates at the poor farm who ate now able to take care of themselves. Dr.

Lee recommended that they be discharged, and the court favored the report of the physician with the exception of two inmates. Some of the unfortunates who have their way to the counfound 'ty farm during the winter have found it a good place to stay and are loth to leave three square meals a day and lodging free. In consequence they have to be ejected annually. Lost Her Case by Delay. The case of Gertie Stewart against the Y.

W. C. A. was dismissed in Justice Walls' court yesterday for want prosecution. Miss Stewart had sued the association on a charge of unlawfully detaining her trunk and selling part of the contents.

AMATEURS IN "THE MIKADO." The Pretty Opera Well Sung by the Pupils of Central High School Last Night. performance of "The Mikadory mereditable at the Auditorium last night by the glee the Central high school, under the leadership of Mr. S. C.

Bennett, director of vocal music in the public schools. The pretty Gilbert and SulHe livan opera is interesting. even when not adequately presented, because it is replete with melody and comedy, and presents a series of engaging pictures. It is not an easy opera to present, however, for it is eccentric from beginning to end, and requires an abandon that is hard to reach through the medium of amateur singers. Considering these difficulties, it is more than surprising that Mr.

Bennett's young singers achieved so much in their first public presentation of the opera. The chorus is particularly strong. The settings are attractive and the costumes are pretty. The instrumental music is especially well given by the Auditorium orchestra. The opera will be repeated to-night, to-morrow night and to-morrow afternoon.

The proceeds will be devoted to the purchase of a piano for the literary and musical societies of the high school. Last night's audience was large and enthusiastic. It doubtless represented a large proportion of the immediate friends of the singers, as such first nights generally do, and every reasonable encouragement was given the cast of principals. Although there were a few characteristic slips, it is probable that the subsequent performances will be even smoother and more spirited. Musicallly, first honors were taken by Miss voice Peebles, the Katisha, who has a pretty and who sings artistically and with expression.

Her acting is intelligent and confident and has few touches of the novice. Ella De Vine, the Yum Yum, has a sweet though rather uneven voice, but her acting in the role of Nanki Poo's sweetheart made her exceedingly popular. One of the best voices is that of Homer Irwin, the Mikado. The hardest task fell to Ralph tional Fleming, the Koko part calling for excepcomedy powers to make it satisfactory to an audience accustomed to get much out of the lord high executioner. But Mr.

Fleming was more successful than might have been expected. The other prinBen cipals were Ollie Renfro. the Nanki Poo; Chambers, the Poo Bah; Maris Stiles, the Pish Tush; Alice Elmer, the Pitti Sing, and and Louise Dose, the Peep Boo. A pretty well executed dance was interpolated by Miss Ruth Peebles. The members of the chorus are: Misses Della Dixon, Estelle Brooks, Mattie Cummings, Reinecker, Lulu Bedel Fisher, Agnes Johnson, May Sanders, Bessie Davis, Doherty, Stella Williams.

Kellar, a window cleaner, was standing on the window ledge on the fourth story of the Massachusetts building cleaning a window at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, he lost his balance and toppled over backwards into the areaway that separates the Massachusetts Twenty building feet from the American Bank building. above the ground, and eighteen feet from where Kellar had been at work. twelve electric light cables run parallel house through just the south areaway to an electric power of Eighth street. Kellar did not turn a somersault when he took his header, but fell with his body horizontal, and it was lucky for him that he did. His body struck the electric cables and bounded a foot into the air, and then fell back upon the cables.

There was a flash and a splutter of electricity when he landed, and a report that sounded as though a gun had been fired off in the areaway. The sound was plainly heard in both the American Bank and the Massachusetts buildings, and men and women ran to the windows and coked out to see what was the matter. They beheld a medium sized man, with a scared face, slowly crawling from the cables into an open window on the second floor of the American Bank building. Kellar was bruised but slightly from his descent, although he said he had a sickening feeling from the concussion. He is 28 years of age, and unmarried.

He is at a loss to know how he came to fall. HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. The Carlsbad of America-The SaratogR of the West-The Mecca of America for Invalids.

UPPER HOUSE CONSIDERED 114 DOCUMENTS LAST NIGHT. License of $25 on Branch Telegraph Offices Removed Lower House Raises Private Secretary Reilly's Salary. The upper house of the council broke all records last night by considering 114 separate and distinct documents. It was in session from 8 o'clock until 10:30 and as the last document was disposed of, the budget was exhausted. President Graham took occasion to congratulate the members on their patience and faithfulness.

The great majority of the matters under consideration were of a routine nature. The most important public improvement authorized was re-establisnment of sewer district No. 158, lying between Ninth and Fifteenth and Agnes and Walrond avenues. An ordinance for a district sewer to cost about $20,000 will be introduced at the next meeting. An echo of the late lamented session of the legislature was the indefinite postponement of a resolution condemning the bill for the appointment of a state license inspector for this city.

The license tax of $25 for each branch office of telegraph companies was removed, leaving the total license $250 for each company. The superintendent of the workhouse was authorized to quarry rock at Twenty-first and Highland for the new workhouse. The contract for the completion of the o. K. creek sewer was confirmed.

An ordinance was passed for planting trees on Wabash avenue from Fifteenth to Eighteenth. The superintendent of buildings was instructed to prepare plans the erection of additional stalls at the city market house. The ordinance abolishing the fee system in the office of the inspector of weights and measures was passed. Ordinances for paving Tweifth street from Broadway to Penn, and providing for a joint sewer in districts 104 and 105, and for a sewer in district 176, were referred to the public improvements committee. The transfers now maintained by the Metropolitan Street Railway Company were made of record by being formally established.

Four inspectors in the city engineer's office were allowed $15 per month for horse hire. The ordinance requiring the doors of elevators to be closed before being started was passed. In the Lower House. Councilman Lynch occupied the chair in the lower house, in the absence of Speaker Smith. A large amount of routine business was transacted, though the session was a brief one.

The water works and smoke ordinances did not come up, the house adjourning after being in session only a short time. The ordinance raising Private Secretary Reilly's salary $35 a month, or from $1,080 to $1,500 a year, was passed, only Councilman Lynch voting against it.

Wyandotte SALT PRODUCERS ARE PLEASED They Like the Protective Features of the Dingley Tariff Bill, Because They Aid Home Labor. Frank Vincent, mayor of Hutchinson, and one of them largest producers salt in the state, was in the city yesterday. He possessed a fund of information regarding the protective features of the Dingley tariff bill as it affects salt. During the past four years the salt of the interior portions of the country seen their home market taken from and thousands of tons of foreign shipped to this country free and sold consumers at about the same price would be asked for the home product. vain they have tried to protect themselves from the destructive effect of foreign salt.

They have cut every line of expenses to the bottom and reduced the cost of duction to the minimum, but the foreigner has at every point went under their figure just far enough to knock them of the market. The results are that salt men of the land have been doing a small business during the four years Democratic rule and they are now pared to welcome back to power the publicans with a protective duty on amounting to $1.60 per ton, so that American market will be held first for American producer and the American sumer will use American salt for just about the price he paid for foreign salt. Under the free salt administration English salt was hauled across the ocean as ballast and came without cost freight, and was put on the docks at seaboard at the exact cost of production at the English mines. It was a price with well paid American labor the men of this land could not meet. trade along the lakes and down in Texas was thus monopolized and the Kansas men suffered with an awful contraction trade.

"We are in a suitable frame of mind welcome back the protective features will enable us to do business Mr. Vincent, "and we believe that when the large stock of salt now landed is gone, we will have plenty of demand for goods and thus win back some of prosperity we once enjoyed and which us to employ many ANNOYED THE ANNOYER.

When the came down the hill at the postoffice it down so far that the traveling man from Chicago had to take three steps to get the seat he wanted.

He was mad when the conductor came for his fare fished his purse out of a pie of silver his pocket, took out a $5 bill and handed up to the conductor. The conductor had several years' experience. He listened as the commercial man roasted the road for making him take three extra steps then smiled one of those broad significant smiles. He put the bi'l in his pocket then dug up a quart of small change counted out $4.95 in nickels and passed them over to the Chicago man. Then was madder than ever, but he took change and when he reached the Coates House surprised the cashier by paying bill with the small change.
