OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES cLUsHoUsE



Separated from His wife.
In the Kinloch club, at st. Louis,
there Is stained glass window with
an odd history, says the ST. Louis Re
public. II Is not an ordinary window
with Its parts Joined by frames OF lead,
but is of the finest kind of colored ca
thedral glass, 80 perfectly Joined that
the seams are not visible. u 10 paneled
in shape, and In the colored glass APP
pears the face and form of beautiful
woman, She Is In the costume OF q
dancer, and her skirts fall but little be-
low the knees. The figure Is perfect In
Its proportions, and the face is one OF
surprising beauty. When the club
house was finished the art committee
looked around for something unique In
the way OF decoration. They found II
In Chicago, where they had gone ok
plorlng. Entering the art store they
told the dealer they wanted to see tho
choicest thing he had The dealer re-
piled that he had beautiful colorod
window panel, which was left on his
hands through peculiar chain OF
circumstances. A rich Chicagoan had.
Immediately after marrying, decided
that as part OF the decoration OF his
new home he would have window in
which the face and form of his wife
would appear He got together the
necessary photographs In appropriate
costumes and brought them to the
glass window concern, where estimates
were made as to the probable cost He
wanted naught but the best, and was
not content to have the picture painted
or burnt into the glass. He wanted
the work done In the actual colored
glass. The dealer was obliged to send
the photographs and an extended ex-
PLANTATION OF what was wanted abroad,
and there the window was made. IL
took months for It's completion, and
when II was finished and returned the
dealer notified his rich patron. But
the window never found place In the
rich mans house. They had been mar
'rled long enough to become estranged
and divorced. The rich man had COM
pleted the house he had built for his
bride and was living alone in II. There
were enough sad memories about the
house without having the face OF the
woman from whom he had separated
looking down on him from one Of the
Igreat windows, so the work was never
accepted. That Ia the reason the mem
bers OF the Kinloch club were able TO
get such truly beautiful and orlgl-
nal window as q decoration for their
mantel.

TWO OPINIONS.
Attorney General Goddard settleS Points
for District School II IArds.

Topeka, Aug. 49, Disputes concern
Ing district school boards rights and
duties arose In sedgwick county and
elsewhere In the state. These have
come before the attorney general and
Mr.. Goddard has given opinions In two
cases.
The first was concern q IN election
tie for district treasurer In Grant town
ship Of that county, 1t was suggested
that the two candidates who were
tiled" draw straws for the Office, but
one man would not agree to this meth
cd. Some thought that they could DO
compelled TO draw lots, while others
thought differently, The board was
without treasurer, and they did not
know what to do The case was sub
United to the county superintendent,
who In turn submitted the question TO
tho attorney general. The attorney
general held that there was no election
Mt all, and that the members voted for
could not be compelled TO draw lots.
Mr. Mr. GODDARD holds that the old
treasurer will have to hold over until
the next election.
Another opinion was rendered for the
benefit Of tho school board at Mt Hope
In same county. Tho district has lately
bnilt fine new school house. One of
the directors, II 10 claimed, supein-
tended the construction OF the building
and when 1t was finished he put in u
bill TO the board for 5000 for his SER
vices. The case was submitted TO the
attorney general, who replied us fol-

Pauls Valley, I. t. Aug. 2s.--The
line of tho Atchison, Topeka g. Santa
Fe railway, which extends from Hava-
ma, Kans,, south through the Chero-

extends In n southwesterly direction
to point two miles north OF Dolberg,
where II turns and comes into this

opinion Of tho railroad men that the

and trains arc running into Bartlesville,
Cherokee Nation, and the road is
graded about fifty miles further to
the Verdigris river. The line will be

Posi- TRADERS.
Big Change Being Consider
ed by Inian Bureau,
BIG PROFITS CHARGED,

Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.--The
Commissioner of Indian affairs In cons
sidcring the advisability OF making q
sweeping change in tho post'trader
system now In vogue 10 the Indian
reservations throughout the country,
particularly In Oklahoma territory.
Tho proposed change contemplated
either the revocation OF majority OF
the licenses now held by the post0
traders and the appointment OF ne"
men In their places or the establish
ment OF government store houses on
the reservations, where the Indians
can obtain goods at their actual cost
to the government, plus the additional
cost OF clerks and employees of tho
stores The proposed plan would ena-
bic the Indians TO obtain credit up TO
the amount Of their quarterly annuity
funds, but not be yond that figure
When the quarterly payments are
made Che amounts OF the individual
purchases will DO deducted from the
amount due each individual.
1t is commonly asserted that the
licensed traders charge from 200 to
800 per cent profit on everything the
Indians buy. Many Indians have at7
tempted to get relief through the
courts by entering petitions in bank
ruptey, and II is this fact that has Inn
pressed tho Indian bureau that Q
change Is desirable.
