seUNCLE DAWES" NEW RULE
It Will Bar 90 Counties From the
School Fund

State Treasurer HefiebOwer has made
a new rule concerning the purchase of
bonds for the permanent school fund,
which if carried out will deprive ninety
nine counties of the opportunities to
sell bonds to the school fund commis-
sioners.
Ia substance, the rule is that no bond
viii be paid for by him if the aggregate
Indebtedness OF the county Including
school district, township and all other
municipal Indebtedness, exceeds 10 per
cent of the assessed valuation of the
county. The state law provides that:
The school fund commissioner shall
not invest in any bonds which. together
with other outstanding Indebtedness.
shall exceed 10 per cent of the assessed
valuation of said municipal corpora
ton" Treasurer HedebOwer says he
doesn't know how lawyers or the
courts construe the meaning of the pro-
vision but to a common old farmer it
means that the entire Indebtedness Of
q county must be considered, and not
the Indebtedness of each muni-
cipahty. For instance he holds
that in making calculation as to
the Indebtedness of a school district
the separate debts the district owes is
not all that should be considered but
also the portion of the township and
county debt for which it is liable
Inat is what 1 understand the words
and other outstanding Indebtedness
TO mean" said he. In figuring the
debt Of a county, the Indebtedness OF
each school district must also be IN
cluded.''

SCHOOL HOUSES FOR SALE.
Many of Those Built in Boom Times
Are Now Useless and viii be
Disposed Of

The first example of a school house be-
ing sold to satisfy indebtedness will soon
be recorded in Efowa county.
1t is expected that a number of similar
sales will follow in the western part of
the state owing to the fact that many
districts are depopulated and the school
houses are being torn down and hauled
away to be used as kindling. firewood. or
for any other purpose to which lumber
can be applied.
State Superintendent Stryker has ar
rived at the conclusion that there are too
many school houses in western Kansas.
There are perhaps hundreds of school
buildings going to decay for want of care.
They are located in sparsely settled coun-
ties and are not unlocked once a year for
school purposes.
Mr.. Stryl1er has received from the coun-
ty commissioners of Kiowa county an in
quiry concerning this subject. The COM
missioners explained that in q school dis
trict in a remote part of the county there
are no pupils to attend school and that
the building is being destroyed.
There is not single living soul in the
district. says the letter. "and we are at
q loss to know what to do with the build
ing. 1t seems unwise to permit it to be
destroyed, but we do not know what
course the law authorizes US to pursue
Mr.. Stryker took the letter to the at
torney general for an opinion, and they
arrived at the conclusion that the best
thing to be done would be to have the
school house sold, the proceeds being ap-
piled on the debt of the district.
This rule will be followed in numerous
other instances in the western part of
the state and the vexatious problem may
soon be disposed of.

WICHITA'S FAKE FACTORY.
Is in Its Customary Good Working
Order.

Chicago, Dec. PA special to the
Times-Herald from Wichita, Kansas.
says:
Information has been received at
the office of the United States marshal
at South McAleSter, I. T., to the effect
that the lawless element among the In
dians has formed a conspiracy to burn
up the United States court house there
and all other United States court build
ings in the Indian Territory.
"The burning of the United States
court house at Ardmofe the other day,
with all it's records, is believed to be
the first attempt to carry out the plot.
The Indians are said to be growing
more restiVe as the first of January ap-
prOaches, as upon that day all of thelI
tribal courts are abolished and the
federal courts have full Jurisdiction in
litigation affecting the Indians.
Under the Indian law one Indian
cannot sue another for a debt of any
nature. There are vast numbers of
notes held by shrewder Indians against
their less proVident brethren, now un-
cOllectable. which can be sued on and
collected as soon as the Indians come in
under the federal law. 1t will ruin
many thousands of Indians who have
heretofore been considered wealthy.
and it is the discomfort of the debtor
class that is thought to be responsible
for the plot to burn the court records
and impede as far as possible the ad-
ministratiOn of justice in the United
States courts. Detectives are watching
the movements OF the suspected In

HOPE FOR YOUNG RIORDAN
If He Reforms His Fathers VII Gives
Him a Handsome Property.

The viii OF Henry Riordan, the North
Topeka grocer, who died last week, was
file for probate today. No schedule Of
the property is fled but the estate is
said to be large.
The document is rather remarkable
in the fact that it cuts off the son
Henry Riordan, Jr. with $50. This is,
however, contingent upon his reforma-
tion- In case he reforms before he is
80 years old he is to have half the
property.
Young RiOrdan has often been ar
rested by the police but recently he has
not been heard of in police circles. The
Will states that large sums of money
have been advanced to the son for his
education and for other purposes by
his parents but that in spite of that
fact he is q wanderer from the par
entail roof to the great sorrow and re-
great Of his mother" Continuing the
will says: If he should become settled
before he is 80 years old he shall be ex-
tended the affectionate greeting of his
father for his repentant prodigaI SON.
All the property excepting the $50 is
left to the wife. Mrs L RiOrdan. ex-
cept that in case of the sons refOrma-
tion it is to be divided equally with
him

Boston, Dec. 21.-The second election
under the law Which gives the mayor
elected a two years term of office, was
held in this city today under conditions
that were not favorable to the polling
of a large vote.
Snow fell all through the night and
during the forenoon. In spite of this
fact so much effective work was done
that at II O'Clock more votes had been
cast than the same hour on the same
day of the municipal election two years
