THEY SAW THEIR ERROR.

About the first of April the regular
spring meeting of the State Board OF
Education was held and several rules
were adopted, which if carried out,
would work many inconvenient
changes in the school machinery.
One of the new rules adopted was a
regulation forbidding the employing
in any public school OF teacher who
was related by blood or marriage,
within the second degree to the prin-
cipal of a school, or to a member of
the Township Board Of Trustees.
Another regulation was one cutting
off entirely the issuing of all third
grade certificates. The friction and
annoyance which would be caused
by the enforcement of these regula-
tions can easily be seen. The first
would necessitate the importing OF
teachers from other sections in about
eight out of ten communities, when
there were perhaps persons right in
the said communities who were quail
lied to teach, and many circum-
stances would naturally tend to-
ward their selection. And why the
restriction? Simply and for no other
reason than that teacher shall not
be related, by blood or marriage
within the second degree, to the
trustees or to the principal in aschool.
The lack of wisdom in the other
regulation can just as easily be seen
when We remember that aho1tS
twenty-five per cent. of the teachers
Of the State are third grade teachers,
and that is too large per cent. to be
Topped off at once. Going upon the
assumption that all third grade teach
ers are ignoramuses, then this rule

MR.. M'FADDEN'S LAW.

It is Turning Out to be Good Thing.
The county and city settlement law
passed by the legislature of 1885, and
of which City Clerk McFadden is the
author, is turning out to be a good
thing.
The law makes it necessary for the
county commissioners to make a settle
ment with the city clerk at the end of
each year and that where back taxes
or penalties are paid, the city must be
credited with Its share at the time the
money is received.
Before the law was passed there was
no arrangement for settlement and no
separate account was kept of the re
bates and penalties due the city. The
city claims that from the want of such
a law the county now owes the city of
Topeka about $50, 900 in rebates and pen
alties collected, but never turned over.
The county records which have been
kept under the new law show that the
city is entitled to about $4,000 in re-
bates and penalties for this year. 1t is
probable that under the old law the
city would never have received half
that amount.

RAILROADS ARE WORKED.
Colorado Lines Stop a Clever Trick of
Excursion Parties.

Denver, May 15.-The passenger agents
of the Colorado railway lines adopted a
rule yesterday that on all occasions
when a special rate on the certificate
plan is made the minimum shall be so
cents.
The lines have another rule that in
order to secure the benefit of a reduc-
ton in the rate on the certificate plan
there must be at least so passengers in
the party. The new rule was necessary
to the enforcement of the old one.
When the certificate plan is used the
passenger is required to pay full fare
going. He gets a receipt and if a the
point of destination the party can pro-
duce so or more receipts, the agent will
sell them return tickets for One-fifth
fare each If the aSSOcfa ton of beer
SuzzlerS gives a picnic at LOngmOnt, for
instance, the special rate has heretofore
applied from all stations between Den
yer and LOngmOnt and if the asSOcia-
ton only musteTs 80 members they will
not be entitled to the reduced rate. The
scheme worked in such cases was to
send on ahead to a station near Long
mont, where the fare was only 10 cents
and buy 20 tickets, for which they would
take receipts. That would make up the
number of receipts necessary, and, al
though no use would be made of the 10
cent tickets, they would be able to get
the reduced rate back to Denver for
the entire party at an expense of 81 eX-
ira.
The railroad men finally discovered
that they were being worked and adopt
ed the minimum fare rule to protect
themselves.

Worked a GulIible Farmer for
All He Had.
Represented Himself as Spe-

For the Western Union - Has the
Farmer Patrol the Line to Paul
inc Three Days - Hires a
Wamego Team.

The sharp fakir and the gullibIe far

engage public attention, and a case
bearing the footprints of both was re-
ported to Undersherif Bert Lucas yes

Last Monday morning a man giving
his name as Swearengen and claiming
TO be in the employ of the Western
Union Telegraph company, hired a
team and top buggy from a Hveryman
at WamegO, promising to return with
the outfit before noon that day. Noon
came and so did night, but the West
ern Union man did not return, nor is
he likely to visit Wamego for many
moons and nights again.

past three days in inspecting telephone
poles between Topeka and Pauline
while waiting the return of the man
who gave him the job after borrowing
all the money he had in his posses

The man who hired the team is now
known to be an all round fakir who
has been working the farmers in the
northern part of Shawnee county and
adjacent counties for the past three
weeks. He represented himself as a
canVaSSer, newspaper solicitor, and in
which he was enabled to get possess

farmers. It appears that his only rea-
son for hiring the team at Wamego was
to secure a means of transportation to
Topeka, as he drove directly to this CITY
and here abandoned the team.
His gullible companion was picked
up at kingyille, q, small village between
WamegO and Topeka
The farmer was walking along the
road when the fakir passed, and the
latter, evidently sizing him up for what
he was worth. asked him if he would

farmer replied that he would be tick

STOPS THE FLYER.
Santa Fe Will Discontinue Its Fast
Train to California.

Under the new time card which will
become effective the latter part of this
month the Santa Fe's twice a-week
California Flyer will be discontinued
during the remainder of the season.
This conclusion was reached at Chi
cago this week by the meeting of gem
eraI officers of the company which was
attended by General Manager J. J.
Frey, General Passenger Agent w. J.
Black, General superintendent H U
Nudge and Avery Turner, assistant
general superintendent.
The meeting of officers was held to
consider the summer time card and to
decide upon the policy of the operating
department during the hot season. The
FLYER will be discontinued but there are
at present no further changes in con-
temptation.
The new card will not, as it is now
arranged, change the time of the arrival
and departure of trains in and out of
Topeka. However, the card is subject
to changes until officially promulgated
yet the general belief is that no further
changes will be made.

BICYCLES AS BAGGAGE.
The Trunk Line Association Has
Made a Concession.

New York, May 15.-The most Inn
portant concession yet obtained by
wheelmen in this country is the decis-
ion of the passenger committee of the
Trunk Line association to accept BIZ
cycles as personal baggage between
states. This rule, which will go into
effect at once, does not apply to the
transportation of bicycles between the
United States and Canada. In such
cases bicycles will have to be checked
and paid for as regular baggage.
This decision is a radical departure
from the policy outlined by the Trunk
Line association in November, 1895,
when that company declined to sane
ton the bicycle baggage proposition
and agreed to impose a tax upon all
wheels carried for passengerS.
