SCHOOL BOARD INCREASE.
Two New Members Representing
Potwin to Be Selected.

With the taking of Potwin Place into the
city the Potwin school comes under the
jurisdiction of the school board of Topeka;
Two members, to represent Potwin, will
be elected by the board to sit with them
The two members will be selected at the
next meeting. The candidates for the
places, so far, are George Tincher, w. M.
Forbes and A. T. Atwood. The Potwin
school board was composed of Tincher,
Forbes and William Henderson.
For some time there has been conten-
ton among the residents of Potwin about
teachers in the Potwin school The prin--
cipal has received $50 and the teachers $50
per month. In the city the persons in the
same positions receive $40 and $55.
The taxpayers have objected to the high
taxation for school purposes and have de-
manded that the salaries be reduced, but
the board did not see fit to do SO. The
salaries will probably be reduced when
the Topeka school board takes charge.
The members of the Potwin board wish
the Potwin teachers retained if they will
accept the reduction.

AUBURNDALE MAD.
Protest Against Naming Two Council
men on Greenwood Avenue.

A protest signed by los voters will be
presented to the city council tonight
protesting against the appointment of
two councilmen from Potwin who both
live on Greenwood avenue.
Auburndale thinks it is entitled to
representation in the city council and
for this reason the protest against the
naming of two representatives who live
in Potwin proper has been made. There
was practically no objection to the ap-
pointment of F. G. Willard but the
fight was centered on Col. Hughes. By
downing Col. Hughes the anti-Hughes
faction hoped to have some one selected
from the west side of the ward But
they not only failed to knock out Col
Hughes but also failed to get any rep
resentation at all.
1t is probable that Mr.. Willard and
Col Hughes will be named tonight as
they were selected by the city council
but the protest which has been filed to-
day means war next year when the two
councimen will be elected. Auburndale
and Elm Grove may then combine and
prevent either of the councilmen being
selected from Potwin proper.

institutions, we should remember, were
wrought more than century ago on a
basis of rural life. These institutions
of ours will have to be readjuSted, for
municipaTization must come This will
require first of all that the functions of
government must be enlarged-among
them decidedly the, functions of munich
pal government. The cry that the mu-
be entrusted with more functions will
not avail The people on the contrary
will say: "Give them plenty to do, so
as to bring the best men to the work.

PINGREE KNOCKED OUT
BY a Decision of the q. s. Supreme
Court.

Washington, April I'm the United
States supreme court an opinion was
handed down today by Justice Peck
ham pronouncing invalid a portion of
the state law of Michigan regulating the
sale of thousand mile road tickets. The
part of the law affected is that provid-
ing that these tickets shall be good for
two years and shall be sold at reduced
rate.
Justice Peckham said that the pro-
vision was not the exercise of a power
to fix maximum rates and not fair
regulation of the railroads, but an i'm
proper interference, the legislature hav-
ing no right to discriminate was done
in this act.
I'VE can not" he said, regard this
exceptional legislation as the exercise
of a lesser right which is included in the
greater one to fix by statute maximum
rates of the railroad companies"
The chief justice and Justices Gray
and McKenna dissented.

SHERIFF FORGOT THE KEYS.
Prisoner in the Pratt Jail Gets Hun
cry Before He Is Fed.

Pratt, April IA deputy sheriff
passing food to a man in the iron cage
in the county Jail by means of long
pole, was a sight that was considered
funny by a few who witnessed it Sat
urday morning.
The sheriff on Friday arrived with a
man charged with attempted robbery
and murder, and locked him in the
cage inside the Jail. The next morning
the sheriff was hurriedly summoned to
Cullison to arrest man charged with
murder, and in his haste forgot to leave
the keys to the Jail, and the prisoner
was without food. The deputy managed
to get in a few small pieces by the
aforesaid means, and just as some boys
were getting ready to send the sheriff
a telegram to the effect that the jail
had burned with the prisoner, the
sheriff put in appearance with his
man and the hungry prisoner was
treated to a good meal

MUNICIPAL ACTIVITY ABROAD
TFrOrn the New York j

TFrorn the New York Journal
Both in the British and German con-
ception of municipal government there
can be said to be no limits whatever to
its functions. 1t is highly significant to
hear Frederick Harrison, the great Pos
dtivist philosopher. testify to this by
saying: The growth of municipal en-
ergy is one of the most stirring facts of
the age
First, all German cities own and
operate their own waterworks, which al
ways are made to earn profits averag-
ing 10 to Is per cent on the sums in
vested. Again, two-thirds of the large
German cities own and manage their
gas works. The tendency of municipal
ownership of the gas business there is
found to be a more complete public IL
Elimination and a more thoroughly diff
fused private use Public control has
resulted in so orderly and convenient a
system of underground conduits that
1t is deemed wise to allow no private
company to disturb them. Then there
are municipal slaughter houses, cattle
markets and sewage farms, which lat
ter are productive enterprises, because
the sewage is distributed by scientific
irrigation. BY and by Germany will
have a municipal monopoly of the fuel
illuminant gas will be more and more
used as fuel.
1t was in 1870 that the parliament of
Great Britain first passed the general
tramway act, which empowered mu-
inequalities to own and operate street
railways. Now, exactly one-third of the
mileage of street railways of that coun-
try is owned by the municipal authorf-
ties Glasgow, Hull Leeds, Sheffield
and a few others operate their lines
The sentiment in favor of municipal
mana cement of street traffic is becom-
ing SO strong there that all cities are
going 70 take control of it as soon as the
franchises fall in. Next to that the
housing of the masses has come to occu-
by chief place in the minds of British
reformeTs. The solution of that prob
lem starred with the enactment by par
liament in 1875 of the artisans improved
dwellings act Thereafter the authori-
ties of Birmingham, of Glasgow, OF
Manchester, Sheffield and other cities
exhibited great activity in building
houses, cottages and lodging houses
and renting them
All these public utilities we in Ameri-
ca shall doubtless control in a COM
paratively short time, and many more
like public telephones and city fire in
eurance- In time no doubt we shall sur
pass the European cities in the way we
perform these functions. Our present

CATTLE TOO HIGH.
Abilene Man Who Went to Texas to
Buy Steers Comes Home Without
Anv

Abilene, April IF. L. Ball, lead
ing cattleman of the county went to
the Panhandle recently to buy several
hundred head of stock cattle, but re-
turned without them.
He says: THE cattle on the Panhan-
die ranges are too high to ship north
in fact, they are higher than they are in
Kansas, their condition considered.
There were large losses on the ranches
and the big shipments during the past
year have made the owners stiff on
prices. They hold the stock at figures
which surprise the northerner They
look for a boom in cattle and think
they will get their price after awhile
