ton Of the barefoot school law, the

possible that the deductions are not far
out of the way. The last (state) appor-

was made in March. under the old law.

round numbers. SIS ,O00 The first appor-
tionment under the new law has just been
made amounting to 81. 900. This sum Is
made up of the regular payments into the
fund from interest on bonds and out
standing contracts for the purchase OF
school lands. about So. 900, and 1850 from
counties which have paid in tax collections
for 1895 monthly. The treasurer of King
county has turned over TO this Office his
collections made for the state for the last
quarter. but his remittance was received
here on the 1lth. while the apportionment
was made only Of the cash on hand at the

but q foreigner: but Keppler was an
American in every line Of his artistic
work and every suggestion Of his versa

down by Keppler. but retained his own
individuality. He will always be remem-

cartooning. but what was once distinc-
