CITY SCHOOLS OPEN TODAY LARGE ATTENDANCE FOR THE FIRST DAY AND TEACHERS BUSY ASSIGNING PLACES From Monday's Dally. The Board of Education, the teaching force and the students, are as tickled as the youngster on Christmas morning with his stock ings crammed to the brim, with the new school building, and its super iority over the conditions and equip ment of the former building which the schools of this city have out grown. The teachers were busy during the day in the assigning to places to the pupils and getting working order the minutia, of the school routine. In the high school, the task was somewhat more of a task, on account of the different branches which the students are to take. In the grade it is promotion, and a studying of the things requir ed to pass and prepare for the com ing years in the high school, and the task of getting the work the grades in motion is not so great. While the esuipment is not entire in place or all received still the superiority over the former condi tions is manifest in every portion of the immense structure.

During the past winter and this spring there has been quite a num ber of stores broken into, and more or less goods and cash taken there from, and the Chief of Police has been in possession of sufficient evi dence in the matter to lay suspicion on some cf our home young men. After the first job was completed, Chief Barclay camped on the trail, and has done considerable work on the same, but was unable to gain sutlicientevidence to lead to an ar rest up to a few days ago. when a similar job was done in Nebraska City. There were some seven or eight mere lads about the town that have been implicated in the matter, four of whom were caught in this city, one being caught in another county, and one in the service of the U. S. at this time, the remaining four were arraigned today before District Judge Begley. for a hearing. all of whom plead guilty to the var ious charges, and were parolled and .vill be in the future absolutely un der the care of County Attorney, Cole, whose duty it will be to en force the District Judge's instruct ions, which are that so far as they ire concerned, the curfew law must be enforced to the letter, these young men must star away from all pool halls, and be at home after nine o'clock at night unless they have a written leave on some errand of duty from the county attorney. They must also keep up in every branch of their studies. at school, and keep in the straight and narrow path ai all times and under all circum stances. By following these instruc tions District Judge Begley has sus pended sentence. Some months ago the Journal was forced to adopt a rule that all mat ters that demanded the attention cf the police officers and the courts of cur county and state, to print the news just as we learned it from the finding of these courts, but in this case this rule must be broken, for the sake of the aching hearts of the poor mothers of these mere lads, just finishing their school years in this city. We have known most of them all their lives, ind their mothers too, and we know just how hard most of them have worked with these young men. teaching them the right and wrong side of- life, but in this one case with no avail, and we have deemed it best not to mention the names of these young men with the but one hope and desire in view that we may be of some assistance to the sorrow stricken parents, and espec ially the heartbroken mothers con cerned in matter, toward placing the boys on the right, road for the fu ture. When Chief of Police Barclay commenced on the case, he really expected to find more experienced hands connected with the whole af fair. We believe that the boys are truly sorry for all that they have done, and we believe that from now on their ideals will lead them in a dif ferent channel, which the Journal hopes for them for the future. One other condition handed down by the court was that all damages brought about by them including all property taken be restored to the owners. To all of which the jroung men have consented, and we believe they will make good. is in missodri PAUIHU WHbuK M. B. CHAMBERLAIN OF NEAR CEDAR CREEK LOSES TWO MULES, A COW AND CALF.
