The Topeka Weekly Capital Of last
week reprOduces the answers to four
questions sent to Kansas District and
Probate judges. The questions were
sent out and the answers published
by the Chicago Lerer The questions
are as follows:
L. What has been the effect of the
prohibitory law in Kansas?
:. Are you in favor of continuing
the law?
3. What is the sentiment in your
locality in regard to resubmission?
4. If resubmitted, will it recarrv?
To these questions fourteen district
judges answered, some of them at
much length, but all in favor of pro-
hibitiOn and making it prohibit. We
have not space to reproduce them.
Sixty-one probate judges answered
only two of them disfavoring the pro

Judge Foster of the Federal court,
and Major Hudson, editor of the To
peka Capital, are having twist. The
Judge became personally offended at
the editor and accuses him of charg-
too much for publishing legal notices,
and of printing them but five times
when they should go in six times.
The editor shows that he printed the
notices the number of times he was
instructed to by the court and attor-
neys, and followed the rule in regard
to charges the past two years which
the former proprietors of the paper
practiced for many years prior to the
time he became publisher of the Cop

Whatever has been written about
these waters in the past that seem like
romance or exaggeration can be verified
by sojourn at this most wonderful
spot OF natures peculiar training. The
invalid when here can like the Thane
of Cawder, throw physic to the dogs -
the waters internally and externally do
the work. and they are certainly past
cure, past hope, who are not benefited
by these wonderful waters. They are
different from any others in America
or Europe, not only in their constitu-
ents but also in the fact that the cures
that have been effected are entirely
without the aid Of medicine or the
assistance Of physicians. The marvel
GUS cures that have been performed
and corroborated by hundreds of per.
sons of unquestioned veracity, and Ger.
titled to by eminent physicians seem
like the fairy tale Of Alladin or the
quint-essence of romance.

The STAR is in receipt Of cornmuni-
cation from H. l.. Bras, Co. Supt. Of
Schools Of Davisson Co., S. D., upon
the text book question. Accompanying
the communication was request that
the same be published, but space for
bids tho insertion Of the article at
length. The burden Of 1T however is
a plan for free text books, and contains
the opinions Of many eminent educa-
tors as to the feasibility and utility Of
the s'free text book" The STAR cheer
fully endorses the sentiments Of the
communication and heartily approves
the plan. The public builds school
houses, hires teachers and proclaims
the advantages of their free schools,
quite forgetting that one .hing. and an
item Of considerable expense, must bc
borne by individuals, and as is fre.
quently the case by individuals that
can most lily afford it. A dozen years.
continuous service in the educational
field convinced us that the two things
that most retarded effectual work in
the public schools are: 1. Want Of
sufficient books. 2. Want of uniform
ity of books. These two obstacles
could be overcome If the county, or
better still the state, supplied the
books. The state purchasing books,
and getting them in large quantities
could get them at greatly reduced
prices. Requisition could be made
upon the state for books by the county
commissioners upon the recommends
tion of the county superintendent, aud
each school could be supplied as need
ed. The advantages Of this plan are
two-fold: 1. Each pupil can have
what books he needs. 2. The books
throughout the school will be of the
same serics-uniform. In every house
hold where children have been attend
ing school for number Of years, there
is collection of old school books
worthless property practically. If the
state furnished them, books would be
used until worn out. As fast as one
pupil progressed beyond the grade Of a
book, it could be taken from him and
given to another pupil coming inte
that grade. A very small tax addi
tional would buy books, much less than
the tax now imposed upon individual:
who purchase school books. The plar
is worthy serious consideration. WI
cannot afford to adopt any but sucf
