DEFAULTED SCHOOL BONDS
Not a Very Gratifying Exhibit of
Money Lost or Wasted.

The house committee on state affairs,
which has been investigating the de-
fund, made a report on that subject
today. The report shows that of the
$6, S1S in the permanent school fund,
over 100000 is in default, either the
principal or the interest.
The fund has $125, 900 of Scott county
bonds alone on which no interest has
been paid since January 1, 1895. This is
a case where somebody must have been
worked
Other large amounts on which inter
est is defaulted are: Barber county,
school district No. 1, $4,000; Grant
county. s31. 900; Gray county, Cimarron
Hamilton county, $4,000; Harper coun-
ty, school district No. 5, $4,000; An
thony board of education, $500; Kear-
ney county, &c., 700; Kingman county,
$10,500; Logan county, $4,000; Meade
county, school district No. 2, $4,000;
Ness county, Ness City board of edu-
cation, $4,000; Scott county, $4,000;
Seward county, $4,000; Stanton coun-
ty, $21.O0O; Wichita county, $35, 900; Wy
andotte county, city of Argentine, $29,-
334 So.
There are also a. large number of
school districts which have defaulted
interest on bonds below $4,000 and ma
tured bonds to the amount of $4,000
are in default.
The Topeka board of education is in
default of interest on bonds for 81 900,
given by school district %, So, 200 given
by school district 80 and IS, 500 given by
school district 81. No interest has been
paid on these bonds since July 1, 1890
The bonds were issued by the districts
during boom times when they were just
outside the city limits, and were for
the purpose of building big school
houses. The districts were afterward
incorporated within the city limits and
the payment of the bonds and interest
deVOlVed upon the city board of edu-
cation, but the funds for their payment
!, Of
School district bonds to the amount
of SIS, 900 have been declared void by the
courts, and the school fund is short that
much, although the constitution de-
clareS that it shall in no case be dimin-
ished or impaired.
The school fund also holds $780, 900 of
Lawrence bonds, given in the Cos for the
erection of the state university. which
matured in 1890, on which there is about
500, 900 interest due. The legislature
about fifteen years ago passed a bill
releasing the city from paying the prin-
cipa1 after it had paid $4,000 in in
terest. This amount of interest has
been paid, but it is claimed that the
act of the legislature in releasing the
bonds was unconstitutional, and last
for the collection of both bonds and
accrued interest, which is still pending.
The committee presented bill in ac-
cordance with their report, providing
for commission to investigate the con-
dition of the various municipalities
which have defaulted their bonds. and
giving the commission authority to
compromise the bonds by lowering the
rate of interest on them.

DIR. POTTS CRITICISM.

DR.. Longshore Potts addressed another
large audience at the Crawford theater
Tuesday afternoon. She is a pleasant

a handsome cIaret-colored brocade, with
garniture of cut jet and Maltese lace.
DR.. Potts gave her audience no uncer-

modern surgery. She condemns the free
and frequent use of the knife, a practice
which is rapidly developing from an
evancscent fad into a baleful epidemic
The effect of example was referred to by
DIR. Potts as something women are prone
to follow even to the surgeons table.
That many surgeons do not really believe
in the Knife remedy was proven in Paris
a couple of years ago when several prom
tried and convicted for a series of pre-
lenses.

such a deception impossible.
