laws show that the townships of Jack
son and Dixon have been omitted entire
ly from the legislative apportionment
act, and though the intention probably
was to put the former in the south dis
trict and the latter in the north, vet as

At meeting held at Wichita by the
millers of district No. 3 of the Kansas
Miller's association, the special subject
of discussion was the possibility and
practicabiIity of doing an export bust
ness to South America, particularly
Brazil, and whether or not it would be
advisable to send representative to that
country and fully investigate all mat
tiers pertaining to the -four trade-viz:
the proper route to ship by, kind of
packages, manner and termsof sale, quail
ity of -four wanted, and how to arrange
with reliable houses to handle our bust
ness, etc.
Mankato letter: A severe wind and
rain storm from the southwest passed
over the center of Jewell county, doing
damage to property and
crops. The fine court house was badly
damaged. The tall chimney on the
southwest corner blew onto the roof
and went crashing through to the court
room floor, taking with it the roof and
ceiling, completely covering up the
Jury box, breaking the chairs into |
wood and badly damaging the
Judges desk. District court adjourned
Tuesday. Had the court been in ses-
sion and the jury in the box, I cannot
see how any of them could have escaped
death or serious injury. The ceilings
and walls of the lower rooms are we'll
wet up from the water that poured in
the roof. The storm did not
look to be over three or four miles in
width and did not last over ten minutes.

Topeka, S90,975. a gain of per cent
over last year. Wichita's gross receipts,
S41,615, adecrease of per cent. The
salaries of secon6-class postmasters of
Kansas for the next fiscal year are an
nounced as follows: Arkansas City, this
year S2,4OO, next 50, 200; junction City
$1,000, next year $4,000; Kansas City
$4,000. next S2,700; Lawrence $4,000.

burg, $1,000, next S2,1O0; Wellington

that Junction City and Pittsburg have
increased from the third to the second
class. The total for next year is ST.
500, or just the same as the present
