to die with the cholera, and cattle some
times take more corn to fatten them
than they are worth in the market,
but the farmer who takes good care of
his cows and sells their milk to the
creamery always has a good income the
year round. With the facilities which
the Kansas farmer has for producing
milk-ex celIent climate, the best of feed,
a good market-there is no reason why
he should not become rich off his cows
alone. In older dairy sections the farm

The commissioner of education re-
ports that during the past year the Of
fee has continued the collection of sta
tistics showing the progress of educa-
ton IN the several states and territor-
les besides cOllating the information
obtained by special inquiries from some
5000 institutions of higher and second
airy education, as well as from nearly a
thousand school superintendent having
in their charge city school systems or
state school systems. He reports the
increase of pupils for 1867 over the
previous year to be something over a
quarter Of million Of pupils, and that
the total number in the elementary
schools, public and private, amounted
to 1882, 426; adding to these the num-
Der in colleges. universities, high schools,
and academies, the total number reach
ed 16, 255. O93. Although a little more
than one-fifth of the entire population
attends school for some time during the
year, the total average amount of
schooling per individual for the whole
United States, measured by the present
standard, does not quite equal five
years of 200 days each for each inhabi-
tant.
He further reports as a matter of
congratulation that there has been an
increase for Is years of the students in
colleges and universities; that in 1872
only $50 persons in the million were en-
rolled in those Institutions, while in 1897
the number has risen to 1875 in the
million, being more than doubled. Con-
sidering that the standard of admission

cations emanating from the recent cleo
ton in Randolph county promise in
teresting developments. The principal
issue in controversy was the removal of
the county seat from Beverly, where it
had been established many years before
the state of West Virginia was formed,
to EllIins, which has only been on the
map for five years. After the election
Beverly charged that at Elkins people
voted who had been in the county but
few days, and citizens of Elxins made
charges that votes had been cast for
Beverly at that place by women dress
ed in mems clothes.
Upon the face Of the returns Elkins
had three-fifths of the votes which
would remove the county seat to that
place 1t is said that the county COM
missionerS, who were in favor of BeV-
erly, were about to seek a change Of
enough votes to defeat Elkins, but
finding that by SO doing they would
unseat the two Democrats elected to
the legislature, a change in the pro-
gramme was made. The removal of
the county seat viii be contested in
court upon the ground that as about
400 who voted oil the balance of the
ticket did not vote on the county seat
change, and as the law requires three
fifths of the tota votes cast, a suffi-
cient majority did not vote for the
change. The whole affair win go to
the supreme court for settlement, which
will still more co1nplicate the legisla-
tive question in tLis state.
