Kind Words.

We have bsen looking through and
closing up the files Of what We consider
our most valuable exchanges. We have
regularly filed during the year q dozen
or more papers from the Fifth district.
1t is NO reflection upon other exchanges
to say that we place Grst the Topeka
ADVOCATE, second the Ottawa Journal,
and third, the Kansas Commoner. Among
the Fifth district reform papers, we
think the Clay Center dispatch stands
at the head. But we are exceedingly
proud of the Kansas reform press, as q
whole, which is unequSlled in any state.
Many Of the boys, too, are publishing
better papers than they can afford to
print, doing their work in the face OF
many embarrassment devoting every
energy unselishly to the advancement Of
the reform cause; and the people in
every county should see that they are
better sustained next year than they
have been in the year just closing

If you like May weather in winter, sp-
ply to nearest agent of Santa Fe route.
He will supply it in thirty-six hours, 1t
is done by buying ticket to Galveston

than staying at home, because big coal
bill is saved.
Regular winter tourist tickets can be

will be run the second Tuesday of each
month from q limited territory to all
points in Texas.
The excursion fare? Cheap enough

BOARD OF CHARITIES.
The Governor Notifies Mrs. Lease of Her
Removal-She Writes Back"


the state board Of charities growing out
Of the appointment and attempted re-
moVal Of officials and other employees in
the institutions, has developed q contest
the result Of which will determine how
quickly a member Of the board can be
removed from Office by the governor. On
December % Governor Lswelling sd-
dressed the following notice to Mrs.
Mary E. Lease, president Of the board {:
DEAR MADAMR:-Having learned that you
are in the city, l address you here instead Of
Wichita.
regret TO soy that many circumstances
in connection with the work OF the state
board Of charities lead me TO believe that
the interests Of the board and the admins
tration Of the various institutions Of the
state demand your retirement from the
board.
I have therefore reluctantly and with
great hesitation decided to fill your place
immediately. This will, therefore, be
notice to you that you are today removed
from the state board Of charities.
Very respectfully,
L. D. LEwEILING, Governor.
This, Of course, created quite q som
sation, as the public was not expecting
anything Of the kind, and many were the
interviews from prominent Popullsts'
Whice found their way into print. Mrs.
Lease furnished her share Of the inter-
views, the burden Of her talk being the
denuncistion OF the administration. On
the next day she gave out the following
for publication.
To the Hon. L. D. LelOsJItnO, Governor Of Kan
SOS:
DEAR GovHRNoR:-Di DisClaiming any inten-
ton of questioning your authority, the wis
dom of your acts, or the integrity Of your
purpose, beg leave to remind you shat you

and sentenced me without according TO me
that which the laws Of our land accord TO

Were / an employe of yours your right to
perpetrate this act Of injustice might de-
pend OnRour inclination ABit is, recognize
that am an smploye of the state, account
able as such to the people Of this state for
my official record, and for them as well ss
for myself l demand q statement and in
vestigation of the charges against me, that

President Board Of Trustees Of State Char
table Institutions.
In pursuance Of the above Mrs. Lease
has employed attorneys and made preps-
rations to defend her case in court.
Most Of the contention grew out OF
the trouble at the Olathe desf-muts in
stitution, during which Superintendent
Carter was dismissed. This was about
two weeks ago. Carter, who was the
choice Of Mrs. Lease when he was sp-
pointed, did not want to quit the insti-
tuition, and fortunately for him, another
dissension arose 10 the board over the
appointment Of successor. Mrs. Lease
demanded the appointment Of ]. r.
Kennedy, of Fredonia, as q member Of
the board, to succeed Mr.. Kelley, and
until that was promised her she would
would not agree to the appointment
Of A. A. Stewart whom Householder
and Wait wanted as Carter's successor.

than that number attended the meeting.
The following resolutions were adopted:
"WHEREAs, There has been great irres-
olution and hesitation by the people OF
Kansas in their attempts TO establish a
county high school; and
"WHEREAs, The graduatiOn'of the dis
trlct schools is utterly impossible under
our present laws: and
"WHEREAs, There has been great in

ment Of a county high school the county
commissioners shall proceed at once to
establish such high school. In connec-

tem Of common school graduation, in
cluding q uniform course OF study for
district schools and for county high
schools prepared by the state board of
education and providing that all pupils
Who complete the district school course
and receive diploma shall be admitted

WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENTS.

At the meeting of the West Side Improve
ment League at Williams Hall last evening,
the principal subject of discussion was the
improvement of West Side avenue. Mr..
O'Neill was appointed at the last meeting to
inspect the new sewer which is being built
on that avenue. He reported last evening
that everything was favorable. Some dis
cussion arose over the small diameter of the
new sewer, north of Sip avenue, but the
members concluded that the work was too
far advanced to lave anything done.
Mr.. OiNeill suggested that West Side ave-
nue.. north of Montgomery street be widened
ten feet more before the improvement is
done. When trolley cars run in that section
there will not be room enough for wagons at
the side, unless this is done.
Mr.. Ellington and Mr.. O'Neill were ap-
pointed on the committee to draw up plans
of that section, and received the signatures Of
tie property owners for the donation of five
feet of their sidewalk.
Two committees were appointed to receive
the signatures of property owners on Sip
avenue and Broadway, for the extension Of
those streets to the Hackensack River. Mr..
E. T. C. Young, John NJ. Jones, P. F. Camp
bell and D. j. McGrath were appointed on
the committee for Broadway, and Mr.. A.
Adams, Mr.. Snedecker and ]. Dryden were
appointed on the committee for Sip avenue.

HARRISON AND KBARNY AGAIN.

One of the lawyers actively occupied in
the scheme to dismember Hudson county, by
annexing the townships of Kearny and Har-
rison to Essex county is authority for the
statement that in a few days a formal de-
mand will be made in the Hudson County
Freeholders by the majority of the residents
in these townships for better roads.
at we are to stay with Hudson we must
nave some connection with Jersey City by
road" said the lawyer. He explained that
the two main roads from Jersey City to
Newark are both m~onopolized by the cleo
trio railroads, and there is not room for We
hicles to pass outside of the railroad tracks.
The Kearny and Harrison people will ask
ask the Freeholders to ~macadamize the road
known as the Belleville turnpike. That road
run parallel with the Jersey City water
pipe and by the expenditure of a few hun-
dreds of dollars could easily be made an ex-
cellent artery for these people in the two
townships.
AS e matter of fact the cost of making the
road could be reduced to a minimum if con-
vict labor was employed Ii the stone from
Snake Hill used. The suggestion will be
made in the demand to be made.

REAL ESTATE NEWS.

The big sale of property acquired under
the Martin Act by the city will afford an
excellent opportunity for speculation. Some.
prizes are to be secured. 1t has been sug-
gested that it would be a wise thing for
purchasers to not only procure a warranty
deed from the city, but to secure quit claim
deeds from former owners or heirs. TINS
course would idemnify purchasers against
any loss or legal complication.
The first strip of asphalt was laid IN Barrow
street yesterday. Property owners are
delighted with it's appearance, 1t is highly
probable that there will be a general De
mand for asphalt pavement when Barrow
street is completed.
Street Contractor Henry Byrnes' men nave
adopted peculiar tactics in sweeping streets;
The middle OF the street is rarely swept and
the piles of dirt which are scraped up rarely
find their way into the carts. The Italians
shovel up half of it and leave the rest to
blow around the street.
Mayor Wanser, it is understood, is con
sidering the advisability of having the health
authorities attack concerns which use soft
coal down town. Complaints have been
made to him Of the damage the smoke does,
and he may take steps to suppress the
nuisance.

A BOARD MEETING.

The New Jos Specifications Com
Cured In.
The Finance Commissioners met last even
ing. In the absence of President Jones
Commissioner Detwiller presided. Owing
to the fact that the new Street and Water
Commissioners have not transacted much
business as yet the session of the board was
a short one. The new coal specifications,
under which every dealer in the city in
either anthracite or bituminous coal, is given
an opportunity to bid on the 10000 tons for
use at Belleyille and High Service were con-
Cured in. Mayor Wanser feels confident
that cheaper and better coal will be procured
this year than ever before, The city has
facilities for discharging about 200 tons a
day at Belleville. In three months the 10,
600 tons can readily be unloaded. The board
also concurred in the salaries of the newly
appointed Street and Water Board en-
ployes, salaries of laborers or metels and
General Superintendent.
