flowery one We have been looking
every day TO see him hang out single
in front. of his place of business but we
presume his modesty forbids.
Prof. Il. Bath Glasson director of the
Alma College Conservatory of Music, lis in
receipt of an offer of an excellent position
in the music department of fiourishing
college near Chicago. The salary paid
ranges from $500 TO $1,000, but Mr..
GLEASON is much pleased with Alma
College and his work here and will not
accept any other position for the present
at least.
In our write up of the flowing wells of
Alma last week one has been called to
our mind which we omitted to mention,
and that is the one at the school house.
This is about 30 feet deep and about 30
feet from the building and from this two
- inch streams are run into the base
ment for drinking purposes. There is
no purer water in the world and is a
great blessing.
\ very interesting letter has been re-
ceived from Will Young of Athens, H.,
former college student who will be
remembered as an enthusiastic republ-
can, says prosperity is very marked in
his locality, prices are coming up and
farmers are selling their two years corn
crop at 20 and p cents per bushel. The
RECORD will be "a weekly visitor TO him
for the next year.
Extensive improvements are contin-
ually being made at and near the union
depot The sand which was necessary
TO grade up the streets and grounds to Il
level with the tracks is being rapidly
covered with gravel and III addition the
walks are having IA top coating OF
crushed stone When completed the
new depot and grounds will be very con-
venient and pleasant for the use of the
general public.
Fred Hall of Ithaca has moved to
Alma and is occupying the NanWegen
house. Mr. Hall does all kinds of stone
work, putting in stone sidewalks and
all kinds of paving. He has the con-
tract and has already begun the work of
putting in the stone walk around the
new Pollasky block. This is ii scheme
we are in hopes our people will fa)l in
with a stone walk costs but little
more than wood and last for years.

n New Enterprise.

For some time past most excellent
substitute for coffee, known as "Anti-
Coffee" and manufactured by the Alma
Anti COT, Co has been before the
people of Alma and vicinity. On FRI
day last the former company was bought
out by w Il. Knox, senior at the
college MIR. Knox is well known TO the
business men and people of Alma as a
hustler from the ground up. He inn
mediately began preparations for increas-
ing the Manufacture of Anti-Cotfee and
at once employed three hustling statesmen
TO place the product in all the towns and
cities of NJ chigan. Already the sales
men are sending in Il large number OF or
ders, tifty-five dozen packages being
good business are very bright. Be-
sides helping himself through college
this year by the proceeds from the bus
mess, Mr. Knox will help other students
by furnishing them work nights and
mornings and on Saturdays. Not only
for these reasons should the people OF
Alma and vicinity patronize this industry
but also for economic reasons. Anti
Coffee has the endorsement of the most
prominent physicians as an unsurpassed
health and food drink, being much SUI
perior TO coffee. \ water motor is being
placed in the basement of the building
where the product is manufactured ano
will be connected by shaft with the
machinery above. This will be great
improvement over present methods.

TIE Kindergarten

The kindergarten question is finally
settled ana the school for little folks will
open Monday. No arrangement could
be more satisfactory. The Board OF
Education provides the building and
material, while the teaching is to be
done larg lg by practice teachers under
the immediate supervision of Mrs. Mary
ID. Plum, the college training teacher.
This insures the finest material III the
teaching corps, and provides an excellent
room for the purpose inasmuch as the
Board has rented the old Methodist
church. The school will be held in the
afternoon only, our experience having
fully convinced Us that the longer pc
RODS of confinement for young children
not only cease 10 be beneficial but are
actually injurious 1t is just as desir-
able that these little people should be
punctual and regular in attendance, as
it is for older ones. The habits of life
are most easily formed in youth. The
school is subject 20 rules as the Board of
Education may enact, and constitutes a
part of the Public School system so far
as it in any way concerns the little folks.
The law fixes the age of entrance at
four years, and children will not be re-
ceived younger. We urge all parents
to send their children and let them enjoy
the advantages OF this privilege.

CONSTITUENTS PETITION.
Don't Want the Interest Bill to be
Too Drastic

Senator Farrelly this morning intro
duced in the senate the following petit
ton from the citizens of Cowley coun-
ty:
ITO the Legislature of Kansas:
I'VE object to these bills now pend
ing:
''First-The bill providing a penalty
for interest charged in excess of per
cent, for the reason that it will work
a great hardship to the very class of
people it is intended to benefit, and it
will be the means for dishonest men to
evade payment of their just obliga-
tons.
''Second-The bill providing for the
recording of assignments of mortgages;
for the reason that many persons will
not be advised of this law in time to
protect themselves, and as a conse-
quence, will lose half the loan. 1t will
also impair the use of these as loans for
often they are put up as collateral to
secure short time
'Third-The bill providing for the list
ing of all notes and stamping them by
the assessor, because this will interfere
with the rapid interchange of commodi-
ties"
1t is understood that a number of
similar petitions are to be introduced
by other members of the senate.

NEW ASSESSMENT Law.
One Long Desired IN Kansas Agreed
on and Introduced

The senate committee on assessment
and taxation this morning introduced
in the senate a bill providing for a new
law governing the assessemnt and tax
alton of property in this state. The
new law was prepared at a joint con-
ference of the committees of the house
and senate, and the same bill will be
introduced in the house.
One of the most important features of
the proposed law is a provision requir-
ing the assessment of all property, real
and personal, at it's full value. The tax
levy is decreased to correspond with the
increased valuation.
A detailed inventory of all property
is also required under the provisions of
the bill. This inventory is privileged.
and only the person or persons making
the same, the county attorney, county
clerk, and board of equalization have
the right to examine it.
penalty is provided in the bill for
the failure of any owner of property as
SCISSOR or board of equalization, to re-
turn, assess or equalize any property at
any other than its actual full cash val
lie.
Senator Benson, chairman of the SEN
a tie committee on assessment and tax
alton, stated that the purpose of the
new law was to provide uniform mode
of taxation throughout the state, and
to render the Withholding of taxable
property impossible by requiring a de-
tailed inventory.
