The Pool Don't Worry,


To the Editor OF the Reflector
The News this week seems TO think
the pool that lost the election bet is
worrying. Not much. Mr.. Matteson
did win fool bet of $3.50 against $500
of his own money. The boys who
lost congratulate him on his success.
He can also have all the glory he may
think there is in his distribution Of
100 or more sacks of flour to the
needy Of this city. So far as those who
are REALLY NEEDY did get sack Of
the same, the pool boys are just as
happy over their getting it as to the
good sense displayed in making such
a bet. Mr.. Matteson is welcome to
all the glory he can get from it also.
We know that the ten men in the
pool did not lose any sleep over their
interests in it and ask Mr.. Matteson
II he did.
We would like to have some preach
err OF town give sermon on the ethics
Of trying to justify betting by giving
part Of the winnings to the poor
the other and larger part seems to
have gone for glory. The News
should not worry about the pool.
Worry about Mr.. Matteson.

NO ROUND THE WORLD TRIP.
Twentieth Kansas to Come Home By
San Francisco

When the Twentieth Kansas left
for Manila Lieut.. Col. Little and the
other officers told the boys that il
possible they would be brought home
via the Suez canal, making a trip
around the world. Gov. Stanley the
other day asked the war department
to have this done but it will not be.
The secretary of war reported yes.
terday:
"Requests of this character have
come from almost every organization
now serving in the Philippines from
states west of the Mississippi, and
the uniform reply has been given to
all OF these that, as no transports in
the Pacific will be sent back to the
United States by way of the Suez ca
nal, it will not be possible to return
any troops at any place other than at
San Francisco The fleet of trans
ports now on the Pacific ocean is so
limited that it would not be practic-
able, If other conditions permitted,
to take any of them from their pies
ent station"
The volunteers in the Philippines
will return home in the order in
which they sailed for Manila The
Kansas regiment was the 18th to
sail, leaving on Oct. q. 1t will be
the 18th sent back. The boys may
be home in time for Fourth of July
celebrat ion-but probably it will be
later.

SAYS HAYES COULD SERVE.
Attorney General Gives an Opinion
ON Schaolhoard Membership.

At the schoolboard special meeting
Tuesday night DR.. Hayes, the newly
elected member from the Fourth ward,
had his certificate Of election and
oath Of office ready and they were
presented with request that he be
allowed to take his seat as member
of the board. 1t was stated that the
attorney general had verbally given
the opinion that under the law he had
a right to do so. The president of
the board, however, decided that he
could not take his seat until the reg
ular meeting in May and that until
that time L. H. Faulkner remained a
member of the board. The attorney
general has been asked for written
opinion and replies:
Topeka, Kas., April p, 1899.
P. j. Stoddard, abilene, Kansas:
Yours of the 10Th inst. duly re-
ceived. Where a person was duly
elected a member Of your board of
education at the recent city election
and where such person has duly quail
flied as a member of such board he
would be entitled to participate in
any session of the board that might
be held after the time Of his qualitica-
ton. This would include a special
meeting or meetings which might be
held prior to the regular meeting on
the first Monday in May.
A. A. GODDARD,
Attorney General.
The question is an important one
at this time as the heating contract
was let at the special meeting and
Mr.. Faulkner's vote was one Of the
six which made a sufficient majority
to accept the bid which found favor.
