WILL CANCEL DEBT
Committee Raising Funds For Fair
mount College.

A committee composed of Messrs. r. L.
Holmes, c. II. Davidson Charles G.. Conn,
A. c. Jobes, J. NJ. Knapp, DR.. George F.
Lewis and Walter Graves are soliciting
money to wipe out the floating indebted
ness of Paramount college and have it
clear Of all expense. This is made posi-
BILE by the bondholders agreeing to can
eel bonds to the amount of $500 provided
the college debt was liquidated. The
original debt was $4,000, which by eastern
help was reduced 10 about $4,000. The
committee has within the past few days
succeeded in again reducing it TO $1,000.
Today is the last day in which to secure
the $1,000 and the committee is hustling
with every hope that all of their good
work viii not go for naught- 1t will place
Paramount on a firmer footing than ever
and make it one of the best institutions
of its kind in the west.

THIS YEARS. FAIR
Directors Secure Attractions
For This Fall.
LARGER PURSES OFFERED
Diving Horses VIII Be a
Unique Feature.

The directors of the wichita State Fair
association met yesterday afternoon in
Secretary H. G. Tolar's Office in the City
building and transacted some important
matters pertaining 10 the fair which is
TO De had here This fall. 1t will undoubt-
eddy be the best ever held here. There
IS more work being done and more at
fractions will be secured with better rae
ing than heretofore. Secretary Toler is
busy answering and writing letters TO
points all over the country. He has re-
ceived number of letters from prom!n-
ent horsemen saying that they intend TO
make Wichita this fan.
Yesterday the bids for privileges were
opened and several were accepted. 1t
was decided that among the attractions
they would have the diving horses. These
animals jump a distance of forty feet
into a gigantic basin of water. They dis
appear from sight. but come up, shaking
their heads and make for place where
the water is shallow. They have made
a great hit in the east where they first
appeared and they will no doubt attract
a large crowd here. Another attraction
is a herd Of trained ostriches. These birds
wear a harness and pull different wagons.
They also race and as they can run as
fast as a race horse an ostrich race VIII
be both novel and exciting and will no
doubt be the string event of the whole
fair. From a wire, woman will tie
her hair and thus suspended she will
swing a distance of one hundred and fifty
feet in mid air. This ought to be thrill
ing and exciting to those who like such
performances.
Although not yet secured. the matter
was discussed and was very favorably
received, of having a continuance vaude-
vile performance, which will be given
all day long each day with change of
program free of charge to those who are
on the grounds The company is said
to be one OF the best in the country. The
directors are of the opinion that they will!
get the combination to appear here dur
ing the week.
Special attention was given to the speed
ring Larger purses than ever will be
held up, which will insure some Of the
fastest horses in the west being here.
This. with the circuit made up of all the
towns in Kansas and Oklahoma, will en-
able them to race for really less money
as they will be under considerable less
expense. From all indications it looks as
If Wichita and Sedgwick county will have
a far better fair this year than last and

May Day Moving and Registration.

Retween the law that fixes the date
of our municipal election for the first
Tuesday of May, and the custom or
terminating leases on April 80 and max
ing the first day of May one of gen
eral moving to new domiciles, many
votes are lost. The impression Is quite
prevalent that the provisions relative
to length of residence in ward or
precinct as condition precedent 10
voting prohibit one from voting In the
precinct into which he has moved
about the 1st of May.
This Is not the case. Provision Is
made in the general election law TO
meet the case of registered voters who
change their place of residence
to another ward or precinct, just
prior to the election, by which they
can have registry in the precinct to
which they move, and vote there re-
gardless Of the length of time they
have resided in it.
Any voter contemplating removal be-
tween now and election day can regis
ter as usual in his present precinct. In
forming the board of his intention to
remove, he will be given a blank, In
which he states his present residence
and intention to change. to which he
makes oath. ThereupOn the board fills
out and signs the remaining portion
of the blank, which is a certificate of
atlantis registration in the precinct,
that his name has been erased from
the list and giving the data relating to
age, birthplace and residence which
the register contains. This document.
thus completed. the voter takes and
presents to the registration board Of
the precinct into which he moves, who
enter his name on the eligible list, and
thus make up the record emitting him
to vote there at the ensuing election.

hands instead of sending it over to con-
gress. If he submitted the matter to
congress with the expectation that it
would grant the authorization for in

the house resolution show him how
mistaken he was, while that of the SEN
ate must make him feel as If that body
had deliberately snubbed him. In his
message he told congress that there
could be no recognition of the republic
of Cuba because there was no govern
ment of such a republic capable Of be-
ing recognized. And the senate answers
him by formal recognition of the pa
per government, the more significant
that 1t is an assumption of an executive
function. There was nothing in his
message to indicate any purpose to use
the power asked for to expel Spain or
inconsistent with a peace that would
recognize and continue Spanish rule
The senate peremptorily orders Spain
to evacuate and the president to see
that she does Verify Mr. McKinley's

So we progress another but a very
long step toward war. Out Of the con-
ference on Monday will come a Joint

to Spain. and the answer can easily be
anticipated. unless Spanish pride sue

Democrats and the Teachers.

The platform of the Democrat Citi-
zens' convention declares:
I'VE favor the maintenance of orr
public schools at the highest grade Of
efficiency, and favor, under all circum-
stances. the policy Of paying to our
teachers in our public schools a COM
pensation that will fully and fairly re-
ward them for their services
The Republican platform is silent on
this point. 1t could not have spoken
as did the Democrat-Citizens' without
rejecting upon the action Of the Repub-
lican council that compelled a reduc-
ton Of salaries below the point Of a
full and fair reward for services. 1t
did, however. declare it's sympathy with
the suffering and oppressed of all other
lands, especially those Of Cuba.
The teachers Of the city Of New York
had also felt the helplessness of class
OF public employees without votes. Sal
aries were SO disproportionate to the
value of services and the cost Of living

where. The new charter left the ques-
ton Of salaries to the discretion of the
school boards, under sundry glittering
generalities as to merit. length of serv-
ice, ability and SO on. Mayor Van
