with Easter lilies, but the one who had
found life TOO great a burden to be longer

the Author Of her life and of all.
80 songs Will for all of US cease and

OF this life once done with there is but the
beyond through whose dark veil only the
eyes OF faith aud hope can see or discern.
Earth-life sinks, the human flower droops
and falls, and all of this worlds brightest

Il have nothing to say; put it in that
way"
This IS what Governor Lewelling said
last night to reporter. He had his head
put of an upper window and when he had
said this, he yanked it back end slammed
the window down.
Governor Lewelling, however, will have
something to say of the matter spoken OF
10 him by the reporter before he is through
with it.
Yesterday most astonishing discovery
was made in the management of the state
finances. The state school fund commits
sioners have, either through sheer
stupidity or knavery. purchased s27, 00O
worth OF fraudulent school bonds.
Topeka was excited over the discovery
last evening and before noon today 1t will
be the talk of the whole state and, as for
that, the entire country. The transaction
caps the climax of a long series of blum
ders and objectionable errors. It is great
er than the asylum troubles or the Artz
case
In this case the state of Kansas loses a
large sum, which it could ill-afTord TO do
ut this time. The bonds are without mar
ket value, whatsoever.
The story as it came out yesterday in To-
peka is as follows:
The state school fund commissioners,
comprising Attorney General Little, Sec
rotary of STATE Osborn and Superintendent
of Public instruction Gaines, were found
Yesterday to have invested SI7.00 of the
school fund in Kearney county bonds held
by eastern parties and repudiated by the
county. and $40, 900 in Hamilton county
bonds owned by George w. Crane of this
city and also repudiated.
HamiltoDs and kearney COMMITTEES are ia
the extreme western section of the state
and the bonds were all issued for refund
ing purposes and repudiated by the coun-
ties several years ago. since which time
they have had no market value.
The state commissioners bought them at
par and accrued interest.
The Hamilton county bonds were sold
by Mr.. Crane week or so ago az sixty
cents on the dollar to J. =. Lindsay, at
torney for the Aetna Insurance company
which owns 100000 of similar refunding
bonds of the same county, and brought
suit two months ago to test their validity.
Mr.. Crane discovered on Thursday last
hat the ultimate purchaser of his bonds
was the state school fund and Immediately
turned over The money received for them
TO the state treasurer to be held in trust
until he validity of the bonds is determin-
ed by the courts.
! A dispatch from Topeka last night said
That Governor Lewelliug was ont of the
ieity but IL was stated that when he learned
lof the purchases he severely condemned
The school fund commissioners
1t is rumored that the commissioners
have made other questionable investments
with the school funds.
Governor Lewelling was found in Wich-
lta last evening at his residence. but. as
related above, CURLY refused to say any
thing.
