Figures Of Interest from Counties That
Went Too Far During Boom Days
TOPEKA, Kan, March There are
nearly S1,OOo,OOO of worthless bonds
held by the permanent state school
fund.- This amount consists almost en-
tirely of bonds issued by counties in
the western part Of the state during
the boom period when times and con-
ditions were prosperous and would
Justify the belief OF investors that
they were good and safe. However,
in many of these western coun-
ties the entire taxable property is not
sufficient to liquidate the indebtedness
Of these counties. They would pay
what they owe If they could do so, but
they cannot. These counties have de-
faulted their bonds in the following
amounts: Barber county, $4,000; Co.
manche county, $4,000; Finney county,
$1,000; Gray county, $4,000; Greeley

Intense curiosity exists to know the policy to
be pursued regarding Cuba by the incoming ad-
ministration. am able to state that policy on
the highest authority and in the epigram In
which It will be enunciated. There will not be
any meddling with the Cuban insurrec-
ton or any trifiing with Spain. Every
citizen of the United States will have the
absolute protection Of this government II war
with Spain be precipitated. The first case OF
brutality to a citizen Of the United States will
be followed by immediate and unmistakable
action On the part of the administration
Maj. Mckinney Is opposed to recognition OF
the republic of Cuba because he maintains 1t
does not exist and the only existing govern
ment in Cuba is Spain. The granting Of belig-
erent rights 10 insurgents he argues, wou.dre-
lieve Spain to large extent Of the obligations
to this government. No claims Of American
citizens would lie against Spain for the destruc-
ton Of their property on the island by the in
surgents. Maj. Mckinley is equally opposed to
armed intervention, holding that conditions
justifying such step do not exist

WASHINGTON. Feb. a7.-No more pres

by Mr.. Cleveland. The administration
has suspended business, so far as the

1t stops with about 50 vacancies, to
which no appointments will be made.
Then there are in addition 1870 nomi-
nations Of postmasters hung up
in the senate. The most OF them
are likely to remain thus suspended
until March 4. On that day they
will elapse. The day after he is inau-
gurated Mr.. Mckinley will havenearly
200 post offices Of the presidential class
to fiji and before the end Of March he
will have 100 more vacancies. Appli-
cations for these post Offices are ar
irving in numbers and are interesting

their cases. Notwithstanding the
wholesale extensions OF the civil serv-
ice law in certain directions, Presi-
dent Mckinley will have considerable
experience with the otiice-seekers.

FOR AN OLD ALLIANCE DEBT.


kan., Will be Sueu'
TOPEKA, Kan, March IA few years
ago, in the palmy days Of the Farmers
alliance in Harvey county, 10000
pounds of binding Irvine were ordered
from an eastern firm by that organiza-
ton. The alliance had purchasing
agent, who later defaulted and
finally committed suicide. He failed
to turn over about $1,000 which
the farmers had given him in
payment for the Irvine, and the
binding Irvine firm will now sue the
alliance for payment. As the alliance
has gone out of existence as an organ
lied body, the company is forced to
make every man who belonged to it a
party to the suit, and the defendants
named in the petition number several
hundred. In fact, nearly the entire
farming community of Harvey county
will be summoned into court.
