II cannot be said that the Bettina Gil
ard-slipper-champagne incident was re-
peated in Wheaton, ILL.,, the other day.
because there was no woman. no slipper
and no champagne in the case but there
was drinking from footwear, which brings
70 mind the slipper incident. The way of
1t at Wheaton was this: A druggist, for
some reason, poured several barrels Of
whisky into the gutter A thirsty hobo
CHANGED to pass along at the time. He
had lost or mislaid his tomato can, and
had not time TO look up another. Acting
upon the inspiration of the moment, he
removed his shoes, scooped them full of
the oh-be-joyful and drank to his own
health.

still Harping on Our Patriotism.
From the Washington Post Qnd).

In our Southern brethren we have as
atrue patriots, as cool and determined and
sincere champions of the republic as are
to be found anywhere within the borders
of the land. We know that if trouble
comes to us they will be among the first
to spring to arms, and that, in the cause
of the Union. they will display the same
impetuous valor and brilliant dash that,
thirty-five years ago, immortalized the
paladins who followed Lee and Jackson.
Johnston and Longstreet, with equal zeal
to victory or defeat.

An effort is being made to have the old
Libby prison building returned to Rich
mond. The enterprising person who
sought to make money out of the blood
and horrors of the old building by re-
moving ii to Chicago failed of his pur-
pose, and is now anxious to get Rich
mond company to buy it back and return
it to its former site. 1t should remain
where it is. The South has had enough
of it.

Unthinldng persons sometimes refer to
the Jews as a people without a country.
Should the United States become involved
in war with Spain, there is not particle
of doubt that the American Jews would
prove that they have a country. and that
they are ready to fight for it. 1t was
abundantly demonstrated in the late civil
war what sort of fighters they are A num-
Der of Jewish veterans of the late war now
resident in New York have put
themselves on record as ready to so to the
front again If needed. and their example
would be quickly followed in all parts Of
the country.

An English writer on military and naval
topics expresses the opinion that at the
outbreak of the next war involving Great
Britain, provisions will be declared con-
traband of war. In that event the United
States might be drawn into the contro-
versy. Uncle Sam sells millions of dol
every year, and he would pot quietly sub
init to having his market thus ruined.

One of the most ridiculous stories that
the Madrid Impartial has worked of on It's
readers for long time was referred to IL
the cable dispatches of yesterday and was
to the effect fhat Fitzhugh Lee is mem
ber of syndieateg theypuRpose of which
is 10 buy up Cuba. The fact IS that Gen.
Lee probably could not buy a town lot In
Cuba. even in the depressed condition of
the real estate market. He is poor man.
Notwithstanding ne has been in pubic lie
for quite a while. There was talk in Nlr-
ginia some time ago to the effect that he
would probably have to sell part of his
farm to pay his campaign expenses il he
hoped 20 make the race for the Senate aft
err the expiration of his term in Havana.

THE GLASGOW MARKET,
SIN central and convenient local
fly the authorities have tract OF
tN enty acres or more occupied with a
great rooted live stock market, having
accommodations for many thousands
of animals. Adjoining on one side is
a separate marketfor dressed beef, ETC.,
and on the other side extensive
slaughter houses. All the trading in
live animals in Glasgow, lie, in native
British animals, is done in this cattle
market, and from 100000 to 100000
cattle, sheep, etc, pass through it an
nually.
In addition TO these there is at the
docks an extensive establishment eX-
clusively for the reception and slaugh-
ter of beeves from the United States:
provision existing for the treatment
of two thousand at Il time. The an
nual Importation OF these cattle is

The city has market property valued
at about Sl,200.000 not including the
cattle yards and abattoirs; and the in
debtedness OF the market account is
perhaps 100000. The income of the

The School Fund

of the present board differed from that
Of former boaids?
A-So far as possible, the present
board has made II a rule to deal direct
ly with the municipalities issuing the
bonds, thereby securing better terUs
for both the school fund and the mu.
inequalities.
Q.-Has this policy proven beneficial
to the school fund?
Alt has. For instance the annual
school fund distributed since the be.
ginning of 1897 is as follows: Febru-
airy, 1897. s1S2,7lS4O; August. 1897,
s212,34260; February, 1898 s223,-
22205.
Q.-How is 1t possible to make Il
beneficial for both the School Fund and
the Municipalities?
A.-By securing higher rate Of in
terest for the school fund. and saving
for the Municipalities the commission
formerly charged by the bond brokers.

@. What is the school textbook law?
A. 1t is law passed by the Populist
Legislature of 1897 providing for State
uniformity and for school books at rea-
sonable prices.
Q. Was there not law passed in 1885
providing for county uniformity OF
school books?
A. There was, but it was not satisfac-
tory. as the large book companies com
bined to keep the prices of books unrea-
sonably high.
Q. How many counties are working
under the county uniformity law?
A. Twenty-One.
Q. Is the price of books uniform in all
these counties?
A. 1t is not. For instance, Barnes
United States history is sold in some of
these counties for so cents, while in 9TH
ers it is sold for 81. The same is true OF
other books.
@. By whom were the books adopted
which are now in use under the State
text book law?
A. By the State Superintendent and a
commission of eight persons appointed
by the Governor.
Q. To what political parties did the
members Of this commission belong?
A. There were four Populists, two
Democrats, two Republicans and one
Silver Republican.
@ For how long a time were contracts
made for textbooks by this commits.
sion?
A. Five years.
@ How are the prices maintained I'M
der this law?
A. The parties furnishing books were
required to give bond in the sum OF
$4,000 for the faithful performance OF
their contracts.
Q. How do the prices of the textbooks
compare with the former price?
A. Prices compare as follows:

From the above comparison it is plain
that the prices Of textbooks are about
one-half of that formerly paid.
@. Are the prices of the State text
books quoted above the wholesale prices,
or those actually paid by the purchaser?
A. They are the prices paid by the in
dividual purchasing the books. These
prices include the commission to the
dealers for handling the books.
O. From what sources are the prices
formerly paid for the books obtained,
as given in the above list?
A. From the catalogues of the book
companies formerly furnishing the
books used in Kansas, as well as a per-
sonal knowledge of the prices paid by
the purchaser. In many instances the
prices given are less than those actually
paid. In no instance is the price given
above the list price quoted in the cata-
logues of the companies.
@. How many pupils Of school age are
there in Kansas?
A. 495,250.
Y. HOW many OF these attend school!
A. 367,e90.
@. Why is it that 100000 of these pu-
pills do not attend school?
A. In many instances children have
not attended school because of the fact
that in moving from one locality to an
other the absence Of State uniformity
rendered their old books worthless and
their parents could not or would not go
to the expense Of buying new ones. The
fact that this expense is now entirely
done away with and the further fact that
books have been greatly reduced in price
will probably result in large increase
in attendance.
! @. What is the reasonable amount Of
money saved to the people Of the State
each year by the textbook law?
A. At least 100000.
@. What is this estimate based upon
A. Upon the known cost of books per
pupil under the old system in various
