The cost Of G Government.

Some recently published statistics,
showing the national and state expen
diture for the public common schools
based on the census of 1890, are inter
esting by way of comparison. Dur
ing that year, the people of the United
States paid to support their national,
state and local governments, includ-
ing the postal service and the
schools, the enormous amount OF
1915, 1854, 055. The expenditures,
other than national, including the
public common schools of the several
states, amounted to 1863, 252, 634 or
80. 09 per capita Nevada had the
greatest per capita, S22.S9, closely
followed by Massachusetts,, S20.76.
North Cardinals per capita of Sl.99
was much the lowest of any state.
Vermont's per capita of SCAT was
considerably smaller than any other
North Atlantic State, Pennsylvania
being next in this division of the
country, with per capita of SS.67.
In the per capita Of municipal ex-
penditures, the city of Boston largely
exceeded that Of any other city, San
Francisco being second and New
York third.
1t is gratifying fact that the ex-
penditures for common public schools
have increased for the whole country
during the decade ending in 1890 at
greater rate than that of the popula-
ton, the rate per capita being 1924
in 1890, against Sl.50 in 1850, an in
crease of Gj cents per capita. YER
mont's per capita was S2.Os in 1890,
against Sl.36 in 1880 The total ex-
penditures in all the states for public
common schools was Sl39, 0G5, 537.
As stated above, the total expendi-
lures OF the country for the year 1890

MADISON, Wis, March Is After
Judge Siebecker had denied the plain

representations of the officials defend
ant, Attorneys DIN and Jeffr es allowed
a motion for a non. suit TO be granted
without argument this afternoon, and
the trial of the great roster suit came to
an abrupt end.
The plaintiffs gave notice of motion
for new trial and an appeal, and Were
given ninety days in which to prepare
their bill of exceptions, counsel on both
sides agreeing that expedition should
be used to the end that the case may
be placed upon The calender of the 81
preme court for the August term.
This result hinged upon the quest ton
of whether or not it was material for
the plaintiffs to prove conspiracy
against the state by the defendants. to
show their necessity and intent to de-
fraud the plaintiffs, together with the
question whether they could be allowed
to show that they were misled by false

character of the contract. instead of

tage at all. Beside, Armour had q con-
science, though he had played some rare
tricks with 1t of late. and il needed
more, hardihood than he possessed to
face this old man down. And why face
him down? Lali was his daughter,
blood of his blood. the chieftainess Of
one branch OF his people, honored at
least among these poor savages, and tho
old man had right to ask, as asked
another more famous, "Where is my
daughter?"
His hands in his pockets, Armour sat
silent for a minute, eying his boot as he
swung his leg to and fro. Presently he
said: 'Eye-of- the Moon. / don't think
can talk as poetically as you, even in
my own language, and l shall not try,
but i should like TO ask you this, Do
you believe any harm has come TO your
daughter--to my wife?"
The old Indian forgot to blow the to-
bacco smoke from his mouth, and as he
sat debating, lips slightly apart it came
leaking out in little trailing clouds and
gave a strange appearance to his iron
featured face. He looked steadily at
Armour and said: "You are of those
who rule in your land"-here Armour
protested-''you have much gold to buy
and sell. / am chief'-he drew him
self up-"I am poor. We speak with
the straight tongue. 1t is towards who
lie. Speak deep, as from the heart, my
brother, and tell me where my daugh-
ter is. +"
Armour could not bat respect the
chief for the way this request was put,
but still it CALLED him to think that he
was under suspicion of having done any
bodily injury TO his wife, so he quietly
persisted, "Do you think have done
Lali any harm?'
'The thing is strange" replied the
other. "You are of those who are great

yours for less than one moon, and you

chief when the trader entered the room
hurriedly with newspaper in his hand
He paused abruptly when he saw Eye
of-the Moon. Armour felt that the
trader had something important to COM
municate. He guessed it was in the pa
per. He mutely held ont his hand for il.
The trader handed it to him hesitating-
ly, at the same time pointing to para
graph and saying: "It is nearly two
years old, az you see. chanced upon it
by accident today"
1t was copy of London evening

tional account of Lali's accident 1t said
that she was in a critical condition.
This time Armour did not ask for
brandy. but the trader put it ont beside
him. He shook his head. Gordon. 4"
he said presently, II shall leave here
in the morning. Please send my men to
me-"
Tho trader whispered to him: "She
was all right, Of course, long ago, Mr..
Armour, or you would have heard. "
Armour looked at the date of the pa
per. He had several letters from Eng
land of later date, and these said moth
ing of her illness. 1t bewildered him;
made him uneasy. Perhaps the first real
sense of his duty as a husband came
home to him there. For the first time
he was anxious about the woman for
her own sake. The trader had left the
room.
What scoundrel I've beenl" said
Armour between his teeth, oblivious for
the moment of Eye-of- the Moons pres

turned to the Indian. Eve been debas-
