house bringing well-flled baskets
boxes and buckets, and surprised the
teacher, W. H. Demuth. and the
scholars. 1t did not take long to Law
boards on the desks, and the good Ia

white table cloths and had the tables
grooming with the good things. There
were nearly 100 present and it did not
take longto fill up the tables, as every
body seemed TO have prepared for the
occasion. We had a very enjoyable
zine. Mr.. Demuth has taught a six

tion, unanimously passed:
We, the patrons of School District

Geo. T. Anthony, superintendent of
the Kansas insurance department,
today sent out checks aggregating
Sl3,l76.35 to the treasureTs of cities
maintaining fire departments, for the
Firemen's Relief fund created by the
state legislature for the year 1895.
This amount represents the "recip-
rocal tax" from fire insurance COM
panies-two per cent on the business
done in cities. Kansas City, Kan,
leads, receiving S2,lS5,73. Topeka
comes next with $1,99l.O9. Leaven-
worth is third with sl,29l.59. The
municipal Officers of some of the
cities, among them Kansas City. Kan,
had planned to use their share of the
tax in the improvement Of their fire
departments, but Superintendent
Anthony has headed off such arrange
ments by calling the attention of the
mayors to the law on the subject in
the following circular letter:
"The purposes 70 which this fund
may be appropriated and used are
clearly defined in section Of the act:
All moneys collected and received
under the provisions Of this act shall
be held in trust and used as a fund
for the lelief Of any member Of the
fire department of such city when in
jured or physically disabled in or by
reason Of the discharge of his duties
as such, and for the relief Of, or the
payment of gratuities to, the widows
or those dependent upon any member
Of such fire department who may be
killed in the discharge of his duties
as fremen, or who may die from the
effects Of the injuries so received or
from disease contracted by reason of
his duties as such, and for the
payment Of the necessary funeral ex-
penses of any member of such fire de-
pertinent when killed in the dis
charge Of his duties as fireman, or in
case of death resulting from the
effects Of injuries received or disease
contracted by reason Of his duties as
such, or for the purchase of accident
insurance upon the members of such
fire Departments. )"
