WAR IS NOT OVER.
County Seat Hostilities About to be
Revived in Gray County.

That western Kansas will experience
another county seat war is not altogether
improbable by reason of the fact that the
supreme court has decided that ingalls,
and not Cimarron is the legal county seat
of Gray county.
Cimarron has been enjoying that dis
tinction for a number OF years, during the
slow process of the supreme court, which
now holds that the county seat was il
legally removed from Ingalls, and remands
the case TO the district court for another
trial
February Is. 1887. Ingalls, was selected,
a an election, as the county seat and
the county officers transacted business
there for six years Then the people of
the county petitioned the county com
rnissioners to call for another election
which they did. February 10. 1893 Cim-
AKRON was selected a the county seat and
the county officers at once removed from
ingalls,.
The people of ingalls, then went into
court and asked that the election be de-
clared void. alleging that the petition in
response to which the county commission
ers acted was not legal and did not con-
tain the requisite number of names
The law provides that such petitions
must contain the names one-halr the vot-
ing householders of the county The
Cimarron petition contained sos names.

HARRIS HAS A SCHEME.
Commissioner Of Education Wants
Reindeer Express Established
in Alaska.

Washington. Dec.14-In a report su B.
mitted to the secretary OF the interior
and forwarded to the secretary of war
for the consideration IN arranging a
Dlan for the relief of the starving
Americans in the KlOndike region, W..
T. Harris, the commissioner OF educa-
ton, argues in favor of using the only
feasible route for the present year IN
Transporting supplies. This route IS by
Southeast Alaska which has well estab-
lished steamboat lines running from
Seattle to Juneau or Dyea twice each
month during the entire year The
sounds along the western coast are
shielded by islands the entire length or
this route from tempests and rough
ocean waves. It will command. by
system of reindeer expresses from Chill
kat the entire region of Alaska Six
DAYS are required from Seattle to emil
kat and from Chikat to Circle City
$500 miles) eight days, passing Dawson
City and the KlOndike region on the
sixth day.
Commissioner Harris estimates sup
pose that reindeer will be used and that
RELAYS are so miles apart. II four re
laws are used and the journey kept up
for "a hours every day, the time occu-
pied from Chilkat to Dawson would pc
three days; to Circle City four days. and
to AIinOOk five days With a contlnu-
Gus journey and so mile relays the time
to remote points would be shortened
one-half making it four days from
Minook to Point Barrow, the same per
fod to Cape Prince of Wales and only
three days to St. Michael
adding six days for the journey to
Seattle" says Mr.. Harris, 1T will be
seen that even Point Barrow or Cape
Prince of Wales could be communicated
with in Is days from the date of the
starting of the steamer from Seattle to
Dyea.'
Mr.. Harris believes that all that is
necessary to make this practicable, is
the purchase by the United States OF
500 reindeer from Lapland, trained TO
harness They can be purchased for
SO each in Lapland, and delivered at
ChfIkat at q cost of $50 a head \ daily
express from Chilkat is suggested by
the commissioner in getting supplies TO
the KIondike. Such an express would
consist of ten reindeer, 10 sIedges and
one teamster. 1t would carry nearly
two tons of provisions, thus anOrding
from day to day sufficient for 1000 min
ers on the upper Yukon. Mr. Harris also
wants 500 dogs to form a herd at some
point to the north and west of Chilkat.
Experience with the government rein
deer herd in Alaska has shown that the
increase is from 40 to 90 per cent a
year The 5SS reindeer purchased be-
tween 1892 and 1895 have increased to
! 1856.
An estimate of $50. 600 for 500 deer and
the transportation of 50 Finnish team
sters is submitted by the commission
er He also asks $50 600 for 500 female
deer and transportation for % families

TO PEEP AT THROATS.
School Authorities Say Such a Move
Would Use Up All the Time.

Philadelphia, Dec. 14.-There is a dis
position among the school authorities
to frOwn upon the resolution of the
board of health, declaring that in school
district where diphtheria is known to
exist there should be daily medical ex-
animation Of all scholars. The project
is held by members of the board of ed
ucation to be impracticable,a and, in fact,
the board has already voted down a
proposition fro a general medical exam
inatiOn of ali children daily The new
resolution may meet the same fate.
It is cOntended that the time neces-
sary for proper examinations would be
such as to interfere seriously with the
children's school work. In some schools
there are as many as 200 pupils, and to
look into all of their threats a doctor
would have to work at the rate of four
a minute in order TO complete his
rounds within school hours.
