The county commissioners, sitting as
board of canvassers, had under con-
slderation yesterday the election contest
OF kell vs.. Buckingham for the office
Of trustee OF Ninnescah township, and
decided that there had been no election.
Under the operation OF the Australian
ballot law, as interpreted 10 the commits
sioners yesterday by County Attorney
Sam b. Amidon, the election now being
set aside, unless Buckingham. the con-
testee, appeals within thirty days TO the
higher court, which would be in this case
the district court, the election will revert
10 the board OF commissioners, and the
costs will be paid by the contestee. The
political complexion of the new board Of
county commissioners is Populist, and as
Kell. the contestant. was the candidate
of that party, ne will probably get the
office.
The details OF the case are quite inter
esting. This was the third time that the
case had come up before the commission
ers. and they have devoted several whole
day sessions 10 its consideration. On
the face Of the returns il seems that
Buckingham. the Republican. had one
hundred votes, while kell, the Demo-
crat, and present trustee. had ninety
four. Five votes that had been cast fo-
kell had been thrown out by the judges
as irregular. but when the commission
ers examined them they decided that The
judges had been in error and the votes
were counted for Kell. This was done
at one OF the previous meetings of the
board and at yesterdays session one bal
lot for Buckingham was declared ille-
gal owing IN the absence NJ tho sigma
lures of the judges. This made the re-
suit a tie and. as has been already said.
the election was therefore set aside by
the board

but the boys began to show their hand
in the affairs Of the city, and as a conse-
quence large number of them are nov
carrying fire key in their pockets to
be used when needed. AT the present
rate Of the efficiency of these young fell
lows as special fire watchmen there may
be chance within the next ten years
for one of them to find occasion to turn
il, an alarm
what one boy has, the Others want,
and as consequence very few os the
boxes with glass fronts are remaining
IN the city. Every one which has been
put up recently has been broken into,
ana the key taken therefrom within
twenty-four hours after it was put up.
Chief Walden said yesterday that he
mad about decided TO quit trying TO keep
any OF the boxes up. AT this time there
are very few remaining, but the key is
Kept at the nearest house, where it will
run the least chance of being absorbed
by the eager fingers of some ambitious
boy.
In some parts of the city where houses
are fewer, the key is as much as a block
away from the box. Those who live in
that neighborhood are supposed to know
of the whereabouts of both the box and
the Key, but it must be said that this
IS true of comparatively few
Another thing is the manner in which
an alarm is turned in, of which many
perhaps, are ignorant When a box is
opened nook is disclosed Pull il down
as far as ii will go and let go, and the
thlng Is done As it travels back up it
will send in the proper alarm 1t would
not be amiss for everyone to locate the
nearest key and firebox, and so be pre-
pared for an emergency. The telephone
is depended upon to transmit an alarm
in many cases. The box system is bet
ter, as one movement turns in an alarm,
while with the phone, central must be
called up and informed of the exact loca-
ton Of the fire. The department is then
called up over an entirely different cir
cult not connected with any of the other
phones in town, and told of the location
Of the fire by the operator al central.
1t seems that nothing can be done to
facilitate matters in keeping the boys
from getting away with the keys. It
makes it very unhandy,- but then boys
viii be boys. and no one has as yet dis
covered method of making them any,
thing else without running the risk of
giving an undertaken Job

Sunday school of the First Baptist
church sent handsome boquet of white
flowers. While a beautiful wreath was
sent by other friends.
At the grave the Baptist choir sang
two songs, AT the Cross" and .'Tis So
Sweet to Trust in Jesus" which were
especial favorites of little Florrine
whose little form lay there in its little
white casket, beyond all recall. And
as the last words floated up to Him VINO

A1YPICAL KANSAS TOWN.

Mr.. William Allen White, in the
August Atlantic, has a paper entitled
"a Typical Kansas Town." in which
he says:
Women shape the public sentiment
in Kansas town. Ia most towns 10
other states the corners OF the principal
streets are occupied by dram shops. In
the town where this paper is written,
the Influence of women has been ex-
erted so forcibly hat three OF the four
corners where the two main streets
cross are occupied by banks. Instead
of Hogan's retreat on the fourth cor
ner stands q bookstore. Here the boys
and young men of the town find a meet
ing place. Here they make their ap-
pointments. Here they browse through
the weekly illustrated papers and mag
azines and look through the g books.
In this bookstore the football games
are bulletined, the baseball games are
talked over and politics finds its forum.
Among all the boys and men who
fro quent this resort there is no habltual
drinker there is not n whose name
has been stained with scandal. These
young men are business men, clerks,
professional men, real estate brokers,
and college students. They are clean,
shrewd, active young men, who have
been brought up in a town where the
women make public sentiment, in a
town of "petticoat government" where
in q woman has never held an admins
trative municipal Office. It is q town
of eight thousand inhabitants, without
q saloon, without a strange woman and
without q town drunkard.

WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN A
MODERN "UP-TO-DATE"
NEWSPAPER,

The expenditure of a newspaper that
is operated on a large scale was as fol
lows last year: Editorial and literary
matter, 1920, 900; local news, 1920, 600
illustrations, $3.50, coo; correspondents.
1926 600; telegraph, $65 900; cable,
$27, 900; mechanical department, $41O,
500, paper, $617, 600; business Office,
ink, rent, light, etc 1919 600. This
paper has a very expensive staff of
editorial writer's, but the 1920, 900 is
largely for special articles OF a very
miscellaneous character. Most papers
of the same class-the cheap great
daily"-put about two per cent. of
their total expenditure on this item
