Some of the newspapers of west
ern Kansas are advertising as frauds
certain men who take their county
paper year after year paying nothing
and then leaving the country without
paying up or even saying thank
you" Occasionally fellow sneaks
away after thus treating us. We keep
a record of them. We ascertain where
they have gone and some time they
will hear from us probably. It is a
shabby mean trick to take a home pa
per several years on credit and then
slip away without either paying or
making any excuse for not paying.

WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. l3-Burton of
Ohio introduced in the house yesterday a
bill to regulate the division of the respect
I've states of the Union into congressional
districts. The bill provides that within
twelve months after the passage of an act
apportioning to the respective states their
quota of members under the census of
1890, and within like period after the
apportionment under each succeeding
census such states as are entitled to more
than one representative in congress shall
be divided into congressional districts by
a state board to be appointed by the gov
ernor of the state
Construction of the Districts.
The districts are to consist of contigu-
Gus territory, and no district is to have
more than one member. No district is to
contain more than one-twentieth more or
less inhabitants than the number which,
In the state, entities it to a representative.
The districts are to be of compact terri
tory, bounded as nearly as may be by the
boundary lines of civil subdivisions, or by
natural boundaries. Each state is to
have districting board appointed by the
governor of the state, composed of four
members, of whom an equal number
shall belong to the two great political
parties of the state, and shall upon taking
the oath of Office, proceed to divide their
respective states into congressional dis
tricts.
When the State Boards Disagree.
In addition to the state boards the bill
provides for national board. consisting
of five members to be appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate,
| two members of which shall belong to
the two great.political parties, and theififth
is to be person who has served not less
| than ten years as a judge either of the
supreme court of the United States or OF
| district court of the United States.
| The fifth member is only TO act in case
the other members of the board can not
| agree The national board is only to act
when no apportionment has been made
| BY the state boards, and in cases where
| they are unable to agree; and in such
| cases its decision is to be final
