MORE BONDS in QUESTION.
Greeley County Securities Held by the Kan
sas School Fund Declared Illegal.

TOPEKA, Kan, April S0.-The district
court of Greeley county has rendered
a decision which, if permitted to stand
by the supreme court, will invalidate
S42, 900 of that countys bonds held by
the state school fund. The decision
was given in a suit by the state to col
lect $1,000 interest and principal due
at this time. The point upon
which the case turned was on
the claim of the county that the debt
for which the bonds were issued con-
sisted of county warrants and that the
bonds were issued without the author
ity of vote of the people. The law
permits county commissioners to issue
refunding bonds to take up bonds al
ready authorized by vote of the peo-
pie, and the Greeley county district
court holds that this authority does
not cover county warrants.

An interesting detail # Lieut.
Peary's plan to reach the north pole is
that his party will include a number
of Eskimo women, wives of EslSimos,
whom he proposes to engage. He be-
lieves these women will do their share
OF the work necessary to make the ex.
pedition success. In former expedi-
tions Lieut. Perry has taken only Es-
kimo men, and when they have been
married men their anxiety to return to
their families has interfered with the
zeal Of other members TO push for
ward. The women are hardy and will
be OF great service in making clothes,
cooking and other camp duties.
