According to n story told by c. l..

OF charities and corrections, PROPOSE
ton was presented to the national con-
ference of charities and corrections
which closed recently ut Topeka, for
the formation of matrimonial bureau
whereby the surplus of marriageable
daughters of Massachusetts might be
welded to the Industrious but bashful
Kansas and Colorado farmer boys.
This question was discussed in all SER
iousncss by the conference" says Mr..

the reading of n paper prepared by
Prof. +. W. Blackmar of the KANSAS
University, on Social Degeneracy in
Rural Districts
The outside stockholders in the Col
orado Cooperative colony won vie
tory at the recent meeting of the
stockholders held for the purpose OF
altering the constitution so ns to cur
tail the powers of those owning stock
hut not living on the lands of the col
ony. Denver stockholders especially
objected to the aggressive policy of n
few OF those living at the colony. who.
they said, We're endeavoring to freeze
them out. 1t was n complete victory
for the outside element and among
other changes the old committee
on engineers was thrown out because
OF the allegations that II had not done
any work since last August. The col
ony is located at Plnon In the western
part OF the state.
Lake county can, by absolutely iden-
tifying the funding bonds issued In ex.
cess OF the constitutional Indebtedness.
repudiate them except there be clause
on the face of the bonds stipulating
that the bonds are not issued In excess
of the limitations. This IL the ruling
Judge Riner made In the federal court
yesterday In the case of Flora &. Lucas
against the county commissioners and
involving about $4,000 OF the bonds In
dispute. which reach n total OF half
million dollars. about $4,000 of which
are legal. The ruling of Judge RIner
seems to reverse that Judge Marshall
made several weeks ago from the same
bench affecting bonds of the same issue
and under the same circumstances.
But there is n great difference In the
value OF the evidence submitted and
affecting the vital point.
