COURTS SETTLE TEXT BOOKS
Decision Says No Old or Defaced Book Can
be Rejected

When the agents for the new text books
began the distribution, they declined 10
exchange new books for the Old ones. as
the law prescribed, unless the old ones
were absolutely without flaw. The case
was taken az once into court, and OF the
result the Topeka Democrat says:
Kansans will be glad TO learn that any
book which was used in the state the
past year must be taken by the local
agents in each county in exchange for
the new books. in accordance with the
provisions Of the Law. and no books are
10 be rejected because they do not con-
tain both covers and ali the printed
pages.
The matter went into court last week
and some OF the local agents have al
ready quietly had their instructions.
Each pupil in the state is entitled to
the same benefi, and will get 1t if de-
manded. gu if not demanded more than
half your books are liable to be condemn
ed and rejected
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1897-09-03

Of this act, shall, upon application Of any
school district within one year after the
acceptance Of the bid, take up the books
now in use, and they shall exchange the
new books at not more than fifty per
cent of the maximum prices fixed by the
provisions of this act"
A reasonable construction Of the above
law certainly would allow any book that
could be used this coming term TO be
exchanged. 1 care not what the condi-
ton of the back is. If there is enough
left for the child to use in It's own special
grade then i. is a suitable book Cor ex-
change.
The agents may tell you that they can
not take them, bus they must.
1 ask the agents 10 be reasonable ana
there will be no trouble; but so far inere
mas been too many books rejected.
J. V. COLVILLE,
County Superintendent.

DOMESTIC TROUBLES ARE RIFE
Separated Husbands and Wives Refuse to
Pay Zach Others Bills

Yesterday morning Jim Tapp, propri-
etor OF the Red Front Racket, was called
upon by two outraged and forsaken hus-
bands who instructed him to give no
more credit to their former wives.
Each told his pitiful and piteous tale
of woe, saying their wives had deserted
their bed and board and as a result they
refused any longer to pay their bills. The
assertions had all been within the past
few days and the parties were still
smarting under the cruel stings The
causes for all this trouble were not re-
vealed, but Mr.. Tapp promised to do his
part toward untying the knots Of dis
cord.
Later In the day the tables were turn
ed and woman came in and made the
same request for the same reason. Her
husband had got tired Of her and quit
the marital partnership and it would
seem that she was putting up, as she
ordered the store 10 give him no more
goods on her credit for she would not
pay for them. And thus goes on the
merry game OF love. marriage and woe
all INTERCHANGEABLE terms.
