Association Notes.

DR.. Ely's presence at the County
Association on last Saturday, seemed
like an old time Association. The
DR.. is one of the strongest educators
in the state. Remember that he is
one of our Normal force for this
year.
Prof. f. h. Baker, of Almena, was
one of our visitors at the County As
ISOLATION. The Prof IS always well
coined by all our teachers.
Prof. Piatt's paper on Current
Events" called out discussion that
was interesting. We would haye
been pleased to have had a larger
audience present during the discus
sion.
Logan and Marvin furnished by
far the largest delegations at our
County Association.
There were several absent who had
been placed on the program. The
topics were discussed entire with but
one exception.
The papers on carnations from
routine work." by Mrs. Laurance
and Clara Shurtz, were among the
best we have had this year at any of
our meetings. People could have
realized better what the true and sue
cessful primary teacher does if they
could have heard them. Both pa
pers were requested for publication.
The general history work has car
ried out in an excellent manner, con-
sidering that it was the first work of
the kind ever undertaken in the
county.

GOVERNOR HUMPHREY last week re-
ceived two drafts from the treasury
department at Washington, one for
S60,901, the amount of the Kansas
war tax leavy, and the other for s.
O6L13, in payment of old suspended
military vouchers. No levy was
made in Kansas to raise the amount
assessed against the state as a war
tax, but in the settlement of war
claims made by the state against the
government the amount of the levy
was deducted Notwithstanding this
fact there are a number of claims
already fled with the governor by
persons who claim to have paid a
part of this tax.

THERE was one resolution very
properly adopted by the Kansas City
commercial congress upon which
there was no minority report. They
declare that all money should be
made a full legal tender for all kinds
of debts due within the jurisdiction of
the United States, Notwithstanding
contracts to the contrary. Money
must be the end of the law in this
country, and the Shylocks must be
deprived of their imperial powers to
take the pound of flesh. There can
be no greater tyranny than to de-
prive money of the power to settle
debts and damages, and no law of
that kind can stand on the statute
books of this nation.-St. Joe. Her

JUDGE BoTKINs trial is now IN pro-

they are, asks for dismissal of the
case on the grounds that no cause of

of the demurrer is the constitution of
the state, which provides for the i'm
parchment of state officials and jur-
lists for misdemeanors in Office. The
