covered on Grounds of
Court House.
In removing the old sidewalk around the
court house In order to make room for
the new building the workmen have un
covered the top of an old well which was
unknown to the present generation and
no one knows what It was used for. The
top Is covered with a flat atone about
five Inches thick In whloh there Is a three
Inch hole. Through this hole It can be
seen that the sides of the well are bricked
and there la a glimmer of water at the
bottom. It haa been variously estimated
by means of stones dropped through the
hole that the surface of the water la from
thirty to sixty feet down.
This well Is the third big hole discovered
In the excavation. Two Immense brick cis
terns were uncovered that had never been
used In the memory of anyone about the

River Robs Most
Populous School
District of Kids
Big Muddy Cuts Away Land and
Leaves Not One Child
There.
The Missouri river has been accused of
many things, but e. new Indictment now
rests against the turbulent, treacherous
stream. An Indictment, forsooth, which
would rouse the "big stick" to strenuous
activity.
The Missouri Is responsible for the faot
that In school district No. 38 of Sarpy
county, once the most populous In the
oounty, there Is not now a single child of
school years.
In the district, better known as the Belle
vue Island school, there were a few years
ago so many children, that the old log
house became far too small to teach the
young Idea how to shoot. '
"We shall build a new and bigger school."
cried the farmers and forthwith they did.
Meanwhile the voracious maw of the
river was steadily getting In Its work. It
did not devour the children themselves, but
It robbed their parents of the means of
life. Foot after foot of rich bottom land
acre after acre slipped Into the river.
Family after family began to leave the
island. Child after child disappeared from
the school houBe. Today there Is not one
treble voice to answer "here" or "present."

Finds Big Knife
Sticking in Side
Turnkey John F. Byrnes Meets Fear
some Sight in Cell at Po
lice Station.
Turnkey Byrnes' blood chilled In his
veins. Before him lay a woman's body,
with a long, murderous looking knlfs stick
ing upright In her side.
Lightly stepped he around the corpse,
covered with a flowing red dress. With
fluttering heart he bent and listened for
her to draw a breath, but she did not.
Then, with a cry to the policemen and of
ficers who sat In the other room, quietly
puffing their pipes, he grabbed the knife,
whose handle pointed heavenward and the
blade of which stuck beneath the clothing.
It slid out easily out of a sheath In
which It had reposed perhaps for weeks.
Amid the laughter of the other members
of the office force and reserve at the po
lice station, Turnkey Byrnes tried to rouse
the prostrate form and shake it Into the
realm of the living. He looked for blood,
but found none. He failed to find even a
scratch to Indicate that the sleeping figure
had been harmed by her knife. Then h-a
looked at the face of the person.
"Oosh! no wonder," he exclaimed, dis
gust tracing Itself over his face from the
roots of his hair to the edge of his collar.
"It's Sallle Schaffer and her bloomln'
knife and gypsy get-up. Just another doee
of bad whisky and coke, I guess. Well,
countermand that call for doo, Sallle'U
come out o' this all right."
But Sallle won't come out of jail for a
while, for Police Judge Crawford sen
tenced her to thirty days' vacation from
the labor of consuming drink and dope.
