ARE GREENBAoKs MONEY!
The Question Seems in a Fair Way to
be Fought All Over Again.

In w. D. Kuhn's Constitution and
Civil Government adopted by the state
schools of Kansas appears the follow
ing paragraph:
Treasury notes commonly called
greenbacks are a promise of the gov
eminent to pay. From 1861 to 1878 they
were not redeemable and for that rea-
son were f1oated below par. After 1878
the promise of the government to take
them for all dues brought them up to
par"
The books are being printed by Geo.
w. Crane and Mr.. Stry<er was selected
by the commission as the final censor
thereof. The superintendent discovered
this assertion in the book and immedi-
ately ordered it stricken out. Mr.. Crane
declined to do so unless remunerated
for the $3.50 worth of books already
printed and bound. Mr. Kuhn is here
and declares that he will not pay Mr..
Crane because the complication was
due to no effort on his part, and that he
is not responsible. Mr.. Stryker says
these words must be eliminated from
the book before he will approve it.
There was a fair and square agree
ment to leave that Objectionable para

tendent Stryker, land 1 propose to see
that it is left out. 1t will cost Crane &
Co. about 5000 to make the correction,
but it will have to be made or the book
will never go into the public schools of
Kansas. The paragraph contains a
partisan question and proceeds to set
tie it in accordance with the goldbug
idea. The majority of the people of
Kansas do not look at it that way, and
I insist on it being left out altogether
I do not ask that the publishers sub
stitute the silver peoples version of the
'greenback' question. A partisan ques-
ton shold not be found in a text book
The author has admitted to me that
he agreed to cut that out. I made the
correction in the proof but it seems that
the proof was thrown in the waste
basket and totally disregarded"

prevaricated when he said we threw

MORE TEXT BOOK TROUBLE
Suit to be Instituted Against the
Troy School Board.

The attorney general and state sup
erintendent today held a conference at
which it was agreed to bring prosecu-
ton against ]. J. Baker, county attor-
ney, William Devereaux, county treas
urer, Albert Graves, assistant county
treasurer, comprising the board of ed
ucation of the city of Troy, and ChaS.
T. Norman, county superintendent, for
violating the new school book law
Norman is Cyrus Leland's son-in-
law. He has been advising the school
board that the new law is worthless
and that it would be unwise to pay any
attention to it and upon his advice the
board has refused to accept the books
adopted by the state school text book
commission and agreed to use the books
which have been in the schools for sew
eral years.
State superintendent Stryker is
greatly exercised. He says: ICY Lee
land is back of this scheme and we
propose to teach him a new lesson in
minding his own business. The new
law is a good one and must be observ-
ed. For that reason we will prosecute
the board for violating it in entering
into a contract for books in violation of
its provisions
Mr.. Baker who is county attorney.
so says Frank Elliott of Doniphan
county who presented the matter to
Mr.. Boyle and Mr.. Stryker today told
the members of the board to go ahead
and make the contract and he would
see that no prosecution should be
brought against them.

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Discharged Agricultural Col
lege Professors Want Salaries
For the Full Time Specified in
Their Contracts.
Attorney General Boyle Renders an
Opinion on the Matter and Head
Off Lawsuit.

Although the board of regents dis
missed nine professors at the state ag-
ricultural college three months before
the expiration of their terms of con-
tract, the attorney general holds that
the regents are liable for the salary
thus cut off and expresses the opinion
that the regents would do well to pay
the amount. at once.
About 49, 500 is involved. The con-
tracts which the professors had with
the regents expire August 81. Some of
them were dismissed June while Pres
ident Fairchild was instructed to leave
June 80. An effort was made to induce
the board of regents to pay the salaries
due under the contracts but they re-
fused to do so and became very de-
faint.
The nine professors pooled their in
terests and retained Senator John E.
HeSsin to bring suit against the re-
gents to recover the amounts alleged to
be due.
Information that suits were soon to
the matter was at once placed before
Attorney General Boyle by G. B. Hoff-
man. Mr.. Boyle rendered an opinion
yesterday that the regents were liable.
Mr.. Hessin arrived from Manhattan
at o'clock yesterday afternoon and at
general to call upon that official after
which he was going into the supreme
court to file the mandamus proceeding
against the regents to recover the sal
aries.
Mr.. Boyle informed Mr.. Hessin that
that the regents were liable for the
amount of the salaries claimed; that
the claim was just and that it should
be paid. No suits will now be brought.

COURT SrENOGRAPHERS.
The Legislature Made Double Pro
visions for Their Salaries

The last legislature passed two laws
regulating the salaries of court stem
ographers. The first provided that be-
ginning the second Tuesday in January
the StenographerS shall receive sal
airy of $3.50 per year. In the executive
and judicial appropriation bill is the
provision that court StenOgraphers shall
receive a salary of SIS per day for each
day of actual service upon proper GER
tificate from the district Judge This
law appropriates $1,000 for the pur-
pose for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1898. The same bill appropriates $4,000
for the ensuing fiscal year. The contro-
versy arises over the provision in the
latter bill that it shall become effective
Immediately after publication.
The law is in force but the difficulty
arises in an effort to reconcile the two
provisions which seem to contain ideas
directly opposite to each other.
The attorney general is Investigate
ing the subject and will likely hold that
the intention of the legislature was that
both laws should become operative next
January. The stenographers, under
this condition, will continue until that
time, drawing their salaries from the
county under the old law.

DUG UP A SILVER URN.
Michael Heinnichel Dreams of Hid
den Treasure and Finds It.

Kingston, N Y, Aug. 10.-Michae1
Heinnichel, ever since he began reading
of the big finds in the Klondike region,
has been anxious to go there. Within
the past fortnight his mind become so
absorbed with the topic that nightly he
would dream of mining in Alaska, and
invariably he dreamed that he was the
lucky miner to strike and that he
struck the biggest finds.
Sunday night his dream was unusu-
ally strange A form appeared and
commanded him: Dig deep into the
ground near the big stump and you will
find silver, but not gold
Heinnichel took a shovel in the morn
ing and went to the woods near his
home and commenced to dig about a
stump. Soon the shovel struck a rock
which, when removed, revealed an old
oaken chest crumbled with decay.
Within the chest was an immense sill
yer urn, quantity engraved with unde-
ciphera BILE hieroglyphics and badly tar
nished with age.
1t is believed the urn was owned by
some rich burgomaSter, who for safety
buried it when the British looted all the
houses here during the burning of
Kingston.

OPPOSE A SPECIAL SESSION
Populists of Chase County are Said to
be Against It.

Thomas H. Grisham of Cottonwood
Falls, member of the board of man
ayers of the State Soldiers home at
Dodge City, is in Topeka today on
business connected with his official po-
sition- Discussing the political stu
alton this morning he said:
1.-The Populists of Chase county do
not take kindly to the idea of a special
session. They have seemed to be opposed
to it all along. Many of them believe
that the proposition to- hold a special
session to enact maximum rate law
would be wrong. A good many of our
people are opposed to maximum rate
law, but would be glad to regulate
rates. This I believe myself is the
proper method of solving this ques-
ton
Mr.. Grisham says the enthusiasm
among the political workers in Chase
county is just as great now as 1t was
when the campaign closed last year.
1.-The central committees of the three
factions of the opposition to the Re-
publican theory of political reform will
meet Saturday and select dates for
holding a county convention. I be-
1ieve there will be complete fusion in
the county,"

Then Moore started to build some
