Western Kansas Schools.

Geo. r. Fultz returned few days
since from a business trip through
Clark and Meade counties, during
which he drove over the country a
great deal. Mr.. Fultz is a close OBJ
server of anything that comes within
his view and has had E;any years ex-
perience in his line which peculiarly
fit him to ''size up" a country.
He informs US that western Kansas
is 10 much better condition materially
right now than it has been for years,
As he has been familiar with that
country ever since its first settlement
he is fully competent to Judge. He
reports their crops Of cereals this year
as very fair; their corn crop good and
the most wonderful grass crop that
mortal eyes ever beheld. He SAYS
many of those who abandoned their
lands there year or two ago seeking
better country have returned and
more are coming back all the time.
But there are some peculiarities
about that country. One Of them is
school district No. So, Meade county.
Mr.. Fultz passed the school house and
visited the school. He found a very
winsome young lady teaching one
pupil. Inquiry developed the fact
that all the school children Of the
district were present. Further inD
quiry from the neighbors elected the
information that this pupil was the
brother Of the teacher, that she was
the daughter of member Of the
school board and that she received a
salary Of $50 a month for a term OF
six months, really to teach her OWL
brother, the only child of school age
in the district.
School District No. 26, Meade cOun,
ty, is another sample of western
thrift. There are only six school
children in the district. Each of two
members of the school board is the
happy father Of three Of them. 81
one Of these men furnishes a room in
his house for school purposes and is
hired as teacher at $50 a month fol
six months to teach these six chill
dren. But his school duties do moi
prevent him from looking after gOOt
big herd of live stock.
1t is evident from Mr.. Fultz's &C
count that there are people in that
county who are not there for the
benefit Of their health exclusively.

County Attorney H. L. Woods and
A. BIanaman went to Winfield Friday
morning on the early train and re-
turned on the later train. They went
over for the purpose Of feeling the
pulse Of the Cowley county authori
ties in regard to turning Lester, the
forger, over to Sumner county officers.
Mr.. Branaman recognized Lester at
first sight as the man who cashed the
bogus s42 check at the Sumner Ma
tional bank Of this city. County At
torney Woods tried to persuade the
COwley county authorities TO turn
Lester over to this county as the cases
here are much stronger against him.
In fact they are almost, il not quite,
indisputable. The officers there, how
ever, are not yet ready to turn Lester
over to other hands until they have
further investigated the matter,
Lester has now been identified by two
Sumner county men as the man who
forged two checks, one for s6s and the
other for s42. They we're both cashed
in this city. 1t is very probable that
Sumner county officers will yet obtain
custody Of Lester, after the officers Of
COwley county have further inyesti-
gated the cases.
