bad school Bonds.

The register OF deeds at Redfeld has
received q letter from Attorney Rufus
T. Peck, OF Cortland, N. Y, asking if
school bonds OF any individual school
district are required to be registered,
and, II so, whether the 81, 500 bonds
OF the Capitola school township of
Sphinx county were registered in 1894
and 1895. The bonds are dated Jan.
3. 1895, and are for $500 each, and
nine in number. The attorney asks
whether there is q Capitola school
township in that county. The in
quiry is made at Redfield after hear
ing from parties at Doland, that no
such school township exists. The at
torpey claims that the bonds were is
sued to refund one-half of the origin
al $4,000 bonds issued some years
ago by the same township. There
is no record of any bonds having
been issued by Capitola township.
Fictitious names are signed by the
clerk and chairman OF the school
board, and the bonds are certified to
by an unknown party under the name
OF Inman. The officials know moth
ing of the alleged bonds or the indi.
viduals named on them. Much spec
ulation is INDUCED in as to the ex-
tent OF the frauds or who are the cul.
prits. Speculation naturally points
to the defaulting state treasurer, Tay-
Tor, who disposed of much paper in
and around Cortland, N. Y. 1t is ex.
pected that more spurious bonds will
come to the surface upon e- smina.io

Since the price of wool on a free
trade basis has dropped over 40 per
cent. below protected prices, sheep even
yet may be as profitable as any other
branch of farm industry. Horses and
cattle bring no return until after the
third year, and are selling below the
cost of production. The sheep however
through the yield of wool, to say moth
ing of lambs, give a cash return every
IL months and bring non ey in to the
farmer in the spring before there can
be any return from his crops. 1t now
seems not improbable that a part at
least of the duty upon wool will be re-
stored, and as increase in the fiocks is
necessarily slow, it is an open question
whether in comparison with the low
prices of wheat, cotton, horses, etc,
sheep are not more desirable than many
of the other branches of farm indus

acres of land. The reservoirs used in
such cases are made 40 TO so feet in
diameter and 3 feet deep, the bottom
thoroughly tramped with horses or
cattle with a few inches of water in it.
This makes it retain the water, the
leakage being light. The sides are
simply made by building a wall of sod
or earth. A square box is placed at
the bottom of the reservoir through
which the water is rapidly conveyed
into the bitches after the reservoir has
