UNDER THE DOME
News of the Kansas State De-
partments.
Attorney General Boyle Applies
Road Tax Provisions
TO SECTION ROSSFS
TO SECTION BOSSES
Of the Railroads in the State of
Kansas.
An Amusing Case From Ottawa
County, Kas.

Neither township road overseers or
railroad section bosses are very big
men officially, but Attorney General
Boyle has decided that there is an inc
quality in favor of the road overseers-
He therefore holds that in future rail-
road section bosses in Kansas must
work out the road tax of the roads by
which they are employed according to
the instructions of the township road
OverSeers. 1t seems that in the past,
in the majority of cases railroad section
bosses working out road tax nave been
in the habit of improving the road
about railroad crossings, but rarely if
ever anywhere else.
Attorney General Boyle says that he
believes section bosses have been i'm
posing on road Overseers in this way
since railroads became fixed features in
the state, but up to this time no road
overseer has had the bravery to resent
it. The first thing in the way of a re-
sentiment came to Mr.. Boyle a few days
ago in the form of a communication
from road OVerSeer in Ottawa county,
who stated that in the work of imprOv-
ing roads in his township the Santa Fe
section boss refused to carry out his in
structions, and was working wholly to
the improvement of the Santa Fe right
of way and not to the improvement of
that portion of Ottawa county. He
wanted to know if the law allowed him
to make the section boss "knuckle.''
Mr.. Boyle thought the matter over for
several hours. and today replied to the
overseer. He stated that while he
could not exactly make the overseer
"knuckle," and in this way satisfy a
feeling Of personal revenge, he could
most certainly turn in a report of road
tax unpaid against the Santa Fe COM
pany if the section boss refused to car
ry out his instruction in working the
roads.
There is no question in my mind"
said Mr.. Boyle today, that railroads
can be compelled to work the roads in
the different townships according to the
instructions of the Overseers. If they
fail to do this, the Overseers can turn in
reports of road tax unpaid, and if the
companies don't want to pay they viii
be compelled to enjOin the county from
collecting it. The minute they become
the aggressors and enjOin the county
the state will go after them on the
question of law"
Now that the matter has been taken
up. it is probable that road overseers
will take the opportunity of Growing
over the section bosses in every county,
and insisting on them carrying out
their orders to the letter.

@ooNTEMPT" INTERPRETED
In New Way by Railroad Commits

Railroad Commissioner Campbell had
just finished reading a copy of Governor
Leedys railroad bill when J. Mack
Love entered the office yesterday after
noon.

Reaeetions OF a Bache1or.

A woman loves a mans devotion long
after she has quit loving the man.
Probably most of the women that en-
courage their children to belong to Audu-
bon societies think the new sealskin law
is an outrage.
A woman would give up her faith in
her minister most as soon as she would
give up the idea that it makes her husband
better every time she kisses him.
If the average husband hurt his diges-
tion drinking whisky half as much as she
does hers by eating candy, the average
wife would either make his life miserable
or go home to her parents.
Woman generally has three stages-one
when she believes her husband couldn't
love any one but her, one when she believes
he is in love with every woman he looks
at and one when she doesn't care which
of the two is true.-New York Press.

Mr.. Stryker Will Take a Sleeper But
Under Protest.

Superintendent of instruction William
Stryker is a corporation hater. His
hatred for what he terms the ''grasping
plutocratic organization" commonly
known as the Pullman company is so
great that he would rather sleep in a
chair car than pay the rental of a berth
out of his own pocket. He is one of the
state officials who does not carry
Pullman pass
Mr.. Stryker has an official trip of con-
siderable distance in contemplation,
and in discussing it he said today:
4 Will be compelled to drive 80 miles
TO get to the railroad station, and by
that time I will be tired enough to take
a sleeper. 1t will be too bad, but there
as one thing feel good over, and that's
the fact that provision is made for the
state paying my expenses on the trips
made in the interest of school work TO
different parts of the state. If I take
a sleeper 1 will charge it up to the
state, and that will not hurt as much as
paying the charge out of my own
pocket, because the state will be better
able to fight the corporations when the
time comes than I would. But [ never
like to take a sleeper even when the ex-
pense is charged up to the state and

HOW SHE BECAME A WIDOW.

Jim Was Good Man, but the Bear Was
Too Much For Him.
When 1 had thanked the woman for a
drink of water from the spring in front of
the house and dropped some pennies into
the palms of the children staring at me- I
asked if her husband had gone to town.
'Jim's gone heap further than that,
reckon she replied, with a smile.
"Oh, gone of to look for work, eh?''
'No, sab; Jim has bin dead over a var
now"
Excuse me, but didn't know you had
met with affliction. Die of feverP''
''Skassly, sab. What Jim died of was
too much bar. He was heap of a man,
he was, but that bar was heaper than he
was.''
"Do you mean he was killed by bearP''
asked.
Fur shore, sab. 1t was right over thar
in the bresh. We was sittin right yele on
the dOah step one evenin when a bar
showed up out thar, and Jim sez to me:
" 'Piney, I kin make that bar chaw
grass in jest two minits, kase I'm a heap
of a man.
''' But the bar may be heaper, sez I.
" He can't be, fur I'm heaper than the
heapinest.'
"That's the way he said, - continued the
woman, land of oo's was fur Jim and
ag'in the bar. I was allus fur Jim and
ag'in everythin else. Jim wants a far fout
of it to show that he was heaper than the
bar, and so he goes out and don't even
take a club along. That was like heap
of a man, wasn't it?''
''TO be sure, but a man can't fight
bear with his hands alone"
'No, reckon not. Jim went out and
tackled that 'ar and rolled him over and
did a heap of cheerin, but when the b ar
begun to roll him over things was differ
ent. AS they fit and fit Jim yells to me:
d" "'Piney, I'm heap of mani
"'And yo've tackled heap of a bar

"'But I'm the heapinest fighter, sez he.

she hung up the water gourd and boxed
one of the children s ears.

asked.
"Sartin he did. Jim was heaps, but
that bar was heapser, and that night

to know if Jim had gone to town I thought
I'd tell you the story. You may meet up
