wARRING OVER sCHOOLH0UsE
Michigan District Troubles Come Be-
fore the Commissioners.

The county commissioners had an
interesting session Friday and the
clerks Office was crowded with inter-
ested spectators. They were investi-
eating the Michigan school district
affairs. This district which lies south
Of Hope is settled by old residents of
the county. The first corners got
along first rate but somehow the
younger generation has not been able
to agree so well and the permanent
location of the schoolhouse became
a matter for arbitration and finally
for somewhat hostile actions. The
taxpayers held meeting several
weeks ago and voted to move the
schoolhouse a mile south Of the old
time location and one day number
Of farmers hitched on their teams and
moved it. Then part Of the dis
trict was taken off and attached to a
district farther south. But this did
not suit and two things happened.
A meeting was called to reconsider
the schoohouse moving and an appeal
was taken from the county superin-
tendent's ruling on boundaries to the
commissioners, the hearing of which
brought in large number Of jewellers
in South Dickinson. All are more in
terested in the boundary line Of the
district than they are in the Venez-
uela boundary question. The second
school meeting voted to place the
schoolhouse back on its former loca-
ton, but the move has not been made,
those interested having concluded to
await the commissioners decision.

Abilene National Wants Some Bonds
"A Currency Suggestion.

The Abilene National bank will
take $4,000 Of the new 5 per cent
bonds il the treasury issues a popu-
lar loan and send on gold for the
amount, too. 1t is likely that the
other banks OF town will take similar
amounts. Aside from the fact that
the bonds are as good security for re-
serve funds as the yellow metal there
will be to the banks advantage the
interest return and the probability
that the bonds will in few months
be worth ia or more as are now
those Of the previous issue. The re-
ports from Kansas banks are that they
will take $3.50, 1000 but this amount
will probably be increased,
J. s. Hollinger, president Of the
Abilene National, today speaking Of
the treasury raids forgold said; "The
bulk Of the treasury notes or green
backs with which gold is drained out

BILE to get enough Of this class Of cur
rency for their purpose. II every
bank would pay out silver certificates

5000 to $4,000 in treasury notes,
the treasury looters would soon be
made helpless so far as this kind of a
drain is concerned and it would be
impossible for them to lower the gold
reserve. Then ii Carlisle would or
der the treasury to pay out silver on
silver certificates and stop paying
gold on them there would be a stop
to bond issues. Several banks are do
ing this and there is no reason why 1t
should not be generally observed. In
go days the drain on the treasury
could be stopped. In former times
when we sent for currency we re-
ceived part greenbacks and part GER
tifcates. Now the eastern banks
send nothing but silver certificates.

H.R. wEsTRuP, OF wooDBINE,
PASSES AWAY.
His Family Makes q Sad Discovery on
Going to the Barn-Ths Husband
and Father Dies Suddenly and
Alone-An Early Settler Of the
County.

Death came suddenly last Wednes'
day to one OF Dickinson county'i
first settlers, Henry r. Westrup Of
Liberty township. The sad story
Of bis sudden and unexpected
demise is one that will bring keen
regret to scores Of warm friends
Of the deceased. Mr.. Westrup had
been at Woodbine trading and re-
turned to his home four miles north
Of that place in the early evening.
He went out to the barn to care for
the stock and did not return. His
family called him repeatedly and
finally made a search, finding him in
the barn lifeless. He had evidently
been sitting on half bushel meas
ure when heart disease, from which
he has suffered in the past, put an
end to the apparently strong life.
Mr.. Westrup was aged 62years and
leaves wife and large family Of chill
dren, all being grown to manhood and
womanhood. Most of them reside in
this county. He came to Dickinson
county in 1857 from Indiana and was
one Of the first settlers inside its
boundaries. He first settled in what
is now Geary county, then moved to
Lyon Greek and finally to bis present
home, where he had a comfortable
residence and rich farm His
pioneer experiences were many and
varied. 1t will be remembered that
he related q number of them at the
Old Settlers reunion last October,
telling how with his Young wife he be-
gan life anew on the prairies with no
capital but their hands and how they
succeeded in making a home and a
competence. Mr.. Westrup's career
was typical Of the successful Kansas
settlers and he had right to be
proud Of his success as indeed he was.
Frank, big-hearted, kind-natured,
Henry Westrup was a man to tie to.
Nobody ever knew him to do an i'm
manly act or take an unfair adj
vantage. Scrupulous in his strict
honesty and unwilling to cherish
wrong, he made friends of all who
knew him. He was in Abilene only
few days ago and made as he usually
did a visit to this office. 1t was al
ways pleasure to have bis CHEEKY
presence here and it hardly seems
possible that he is gone. He was a
brother Of j. +. Westrup Of this city.
