TOPEKA MUST GO TO COURT
Attorney General Boyle Applies for
Writ of Mandamus in School
Book Matter

Attorney General Boyle this after
noon applied for a peremptory writ of
mandamus in the supreme court to
compel the Topeka board of education
to put in the entire state series of text
books in the Topeka graded schools.
This is the first step in a determined
effort on the part of the attorney gen.
eral to put the state text book law in
full operation over the etire state and
put an end to the business of the Amer
lean Book company and all other SINH
lar companies in Kansas.
The suit against the Topeka board of
education will be made the test case to
determine the power of the state to pre-
vent boards of educatiOns making con-
tracts with text book companies or US
ing any but the state books in the
graded schools. At present the Topeka
board has contracts with the American
Book company. Crane & Co, Warner
Book company, Butler Book company
and the ROudebush company.
All these contracts were made within
three days before the publication of the
state text book law passed at the last
session of the legislature. The books
handled by this company were adopted,
says President J. w Priddy, because
the board decided they were superior
to the corresponding books furnished by
the state. The contracts were all made
for a period of five years.
The condition that exists in Topeka
also exists in about 25 of the principal
cities in the state. In the list is in
Guided Kansas City, Lawrence, EmpOr-
ia, Fort Scott, Wellington, and Newton.
The contracts held by the boards of ed
ucation of these cities are principally
with the American Book company
which spends money like water to in
fuence school boards and others. The
only four larger cities of the state in
which the full series of state text books
are in use are AtchisOn, Wichita, Ar
kansas City and LeavenWorth.
The mandamuS proceeding will decide
the right of boards of education to
1rafc5 aEn I1a "a IA
book law. The contracts held by the
Topeka board are in such shape that
they may be Cancelled at the option of
the board.
Several of the state text books are
now being used in the TOpekt schools.
They were picked out by the board aft
er the passage of the law and adopted
at the opening of the school year.These
books the members of the board say
are equal to the corresponding books
formerly in use.

WEIHAI-WEI.

Cradle is a promoter well known in the
Black Hills
His first enterprise was an irrigation
ditch in Fail River county, this state.
on the Burlington and Missouri River
railroad, near the Nebraska, Wyoming
and South Dakota line.
He then laid out the town of Edge
mont on the site. Edgemont has a
population now of about 900 people de-
pendent largely for support on a grind
stone quarry and factory and projected
was to be operated on ore to be taken
from the Union Hill mines at Galena,
seven miles from Deadwood.
On the mining property Mr.. Cradle
has, it is said, expended about 500 900
a month for Is months. The property
has never paid anything of consequence
and it was supposed that the money
was being furnished by a syndicate
composed of Ex-Governor Pattison of
Pennsylvania, the late Ben Butter
worth and other wealthy easterners.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago, Feb. 3.
WHEAT-Wheat opened easy today at
AQ3sc under yesterdays closing prices
though with no great amount of trading.
Gables were the principal influence, 1880
p. m. advices from Liverpool showing q
decline of Id. Private advices from the
west were to the effect that the spring
wheat movement is likely to increas
rather than diminish, and Northwestern
receipts were heavy again, Minneapolis
and Duluth reporting 403 cars, against 2S4
cars last week and 231 cars year ago.
Argentine crop advices We're very favor
able. May wheat started at 95G951sc, and
under moderate offerings mostly from
professional shorts, the price declined to
943sdazc. Later advices from Liverpool
showed I'D recovery, which had a ten>
dency to steady the market for time,
May reacting to 94zsQ95c. Later it easeo
off again to 94a4@7sc. Beerbohm said the
European wheat stocks had decreased 31s
million bushels since January l.

vance in provisions. Receipts were 80
cars. May opened a shade higher at 2S74c,
sold at 2S5sc and advanced to 2Sazqkc.
OATS-Oats were quiet but firm, follow

May opened a shade lower at 2G7sc and adj
vanced to 24c.
Professionalism were active
and strong, helped by small hog receipts
and higher prices at the yards. Good OUT

letter was given out:

To the stockholders and Board Of Di-
rectors of the EdgemOnt and Union
Hill Smelling company.
conference.-the is to certify that I
have entered into an agreement with
Mr.. F. Q. Cradle for the erection at
Edgemont, S. D., of a smelter fully
equipped with modern appliances the
for operation within four months from
this date payment for same having
been fully provided for without further
charge against your company.
Yours truly,
JOHN E. SEARLES.
Mr.. Searles' position as the executive
head of the sugar trust, added great
weight to the standing of the company.
1t was at this time that the promi-
nent citizens who had lent their names
so freely to float the enterprise began
to realize the position in which they
would be placed in the event of its COLI
lapse.
At a meeting of the Philadelphia. cap
1talsts, who like Cashier Quinlan had
been led into a bad thing, it was de-
cided to take heroic measures.
Cradle was turned out of the man
aSement of the company. The sale of
stock was stopped so far as the Phil
adelphia people could prevent it. An
executive committee of five members
was chosen to look after affairs. WV.
Kurtz was depOSed as secretary. To
prevent the appointment of a receiver
and wiping out of the interests of the
thousand or more stockholders, it was
determined to float a bond issue for
$500, 900 and the proposition was brought
before the annual meeting of the stock
holders in Jersey City, January u.
Up to last Saturday only 100000 had
been subscribed, but it is believed the
bond subscription will be successful
and the property saved to the stock
holders, in which case considerable
money will be engaged in further de-
velOpment work. The new people in
control of the company it is said will
take legal steps to compel Mr. Searles
to build the smelter. Thus in the end
there may be some returns. 1t is said
that Cradle has not been able to sell all
of the $4,8O0,O00 stock and that a con-
siderable part of it is pledged for loans.
