Prof. Charles johnson has accepted
40 offer FROM Blackfoot, Idaho, and will
take the principalship of the Blackfoot
schools for the coming year. Mr.. John
son has been principal OF our school for
nine years and hiss made the Longton
school known over this section OF the
state rs one OF the best. We congratu-
late Blackfoot upon securing a teacher
OF his ability and are sorry that we
could not keep him here. The family
will visit ia Howard for few days be-
fore their departure for the west, which
will take place early in August. Mrs.
johnson will be missed by all who have
made her acquaintance. She, as well
as Mr.. johnson, has always taken ae-

Prof. Chas johnson OF Longton was
in town Saturday between trains on his
way home from Howard, where he
teaches in the institute.
Ii seems as tho the Professors repu-
tation as a schoolman is not confined To
Kansas alone, as he had no more than
reached Idaho on his recent trip west
this spring than he was secured to con-
duct xu institute at Blackfoot during
August.
While there the board OF education
of Blackfoot offered Prof. johnson the
superintendency OF their city schools,
and last week 1t was accepted by tele-
gram.
Prof. Johnson leaves the last OF July
to take charge of the institute; his fam
lily will follow later.
In his going, Elk county loses one Of
Its best educators.
Prof. johnson has been identified with
school work in Kansas several years,
having just completed his ninth year
as principal OF the Longton schools.
For the past five or six years he has
been offered better salary elsewhere,
but has declined as he owns good
home in Longton and is adverse to con-
tinually moving.
Prof. johnson worked with us in the
Greenwood county institute last sum-
mer, and We there learned to appre-
ciate his worth as an educator, aud
while we congratulate him on his mer-
tied promotion, we regret to say good.

Fire Insurance company of New York
for the year ending December 81, 1898. has
been sent to the state insurance DEPART
ment at Albany and according to it's
showing the capital stock of the ompany
is seriously impaired. President p. Is.
Armstrong admitted the fact of the i'm
pairment, but declined to give any figures
in regard to it's extent. Chief Examiner
L. Vanderpool, Of the state insurance de-
partment, is now engaged in making an
examination of the affairs and condition
of the company. 1t is stated that in his
repOrt the Reinsurance reserve of the
company will be reckOned on a pro rata
basis, SO that the official figures Of the
department are likely to exhibit a greater
impairment than is revealed by the state
ment of the company. The capital of the
company is $3.50, 900. Under the statutes,
if the impairment exceeds 25 per cent Of
the total capital stock or $62, 800, the COM

ent of insurance that it must suspend
business and a period of thirty days will
be granted within which the Solvency Of

RULING MADE ON
THE TARIFF BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. S1.-JustiCe ShiraS
has handed down the opinion of the SUI
preme court of the United States in the
case of Frederick H. H~aininghaus VS.. The
United States circuit court of appeals for
the second circuit. This is a tariff case
involving the validity of that portion of
the act of 1898, providing for d penalty in
cases in which it is found necessary to
make the appraised value exceed the val
ue declared in the entry. The goods in
question were certain woven fabrics in
pieces composed of silk and cotton. The
cases came 20 the supreme court on certl-
ficate on the following question:: On. the
provisions of paragraph 3S1 of the act of
1897 and section one Of he act of 1890, as
amended by section % of the act OF 1891,
was the merchandise in suit subject to
an ad VafOrem duty or Il duty based upon
or regulated in anS manner by the value
thereof? Second-Did the additional duty
of enc per cent because of the total APP
praised value of said merchandise for
each one per cent that such appraised
value declared in the entry as applied to
the particular article in said invoice under
value as aforesaid, accrue according to
the provisions of the act of 1890 as amend
cd by section % Of the act of 1897?
boln questions were answered. IN lle
affirmative by the court thus sustaining
the position of Solicitor General Rich
ards. The decision CT the court is in eff
fectthat many tariff case where there is O
prOvisO that the duty, although specific
IN the first instance must amount to a per-
c@ntage of the value of the goods that the
importer must make a true entry of the
value CT goods and hat if he does not dc
so and the appraisers increase the ya'ua
ton the collector must assess an addition
al duty by way of penalty for the under
valuation, even though the collector as
seSses only a specific duty on the goods.

ONE MAN WHO HAD
TWO FAMILIES

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 31.-A decision
rendered by the supreme court brings to
light another story of one man with two
families. Richard G. Combs died in 1889
and left two families, one in Burlington
and one in Wichita, Kansas The Bur-
lington family was the legitimate one,
but Combs had maintained both for 20
years and lived most Of the time just
prior to his death with the Kansas wo-
man and three children, whom he rccog-
nized. Her name was Miss A. G. Bum.
Combs, who was q travelling man, had a
policy of life insurance for $4 ,000 in the
Iowa Legion Of Honor. The money was
paid to the Burlington family and suit
was begun by the guardian of the Kansas
children to recover from the Burlington
family or the Legion of Honor. The
mother of the Kansas children had died,

lily must divide with the Kansa children

COSTLY EXIT BETWEEN ACTS,

1t did not take place in the city of
Washington, because no man in Wash
ingtOn leaves a lady alone while he goes
out between the acts at a theater-unless
it be his wife, and, Of course, that doesn't
count, says the Washington Star. But it
did occur, and the site of it's occurrence
is not west of the Alleghenies, where, ac-
cOrdinS to some eastern thinkers, all the
peculiar occurrences occur.
The man in the case was perhaps 80,
the girl %, and the theater was one in
which the melOdrama had it's home. The
girl was pretty and there was that kind
of q jaw hedging the lower part of her
rosy checks that ought to have been a
hint to the young man. The young man
was a very fair sample of the average
chap who makes $1,000 to $500 a year.
Between them and the aisle sat a big
man Of so and his wife and two daughters
and the big man had a voice bigger than
he was. When the curtain went down on
the first act there was a slight scrap be-
tween the couple, which ended in he
young man not going out between the
first and second acts, because the walt
was short and he hadn't time to argue.
The girls cheeks were redder than be-
fore when the curtain went up and the
set of her jaw was firmer.
At the next fall of the curtain there
was a slight scrap again, which ended

Girl dragged herself after him, over the
same four people, but she stopped in the
aisle long enough to say something TO the
big man with the two daughters. Then
she disappeared. 1t was a long watt, and
lust as the curtain started up the young
man hurried down the aisle ana was
about to drag himself over the four peo-
ple when the big man called his attention
70 the vacancy which had occurred DUR
in his absence. The young mans jaw
dropped, and he actually grew red in the
face. The big man handed him a ring
with a bright little diamond glistening
in it.
