INGALLS, AT TUCSON.
Kansas Ex-senator Writes of His
Winter Resort.
IFrom the Atchison GIobe.1

IFrom the Atchison Globe1
In a letter to an Atchison men, John
J. Ingalls, draws the following pen
picture of Tucson. Arizona, where he
is spending the winter:
Il regret that I did not come earlier
to Tucson. It Is said to be hotter
than a crematory in summer, but the
winter weather is certainly incompar-
able, if what have experienced, so far,
is a sample. The dryness. the stiffness.
the brightness. the inexplicable charm of
mountain, plain and sky; the hues of
sunset and dawn, the splendor of the
stars, the vague blue mystery of the
horizon; the odd, quaint town, with its
mingled antiquity and progress, its
queer people and their habits; its gamb-
ling dens open on the main streets. day
and night; it's cowboys and miners
and tramps and toughs and gentlemen,
all make a scene of indescribable inter-
est and enchantment. Mexicans In
dams, negroes, Cinnamon and Ameri-
cans, with half a dozen different
languages and LIMOGES, make up the
constantly changing population, that
for all its vices and immoraities, is as
quiet and orderly as any Kansas ham
let.

SCHOOLS CLOSING.
Scarlet Fever and Smallpox Frig hten
Country Rssidents.

There is an epidemic of school closing
among the district schools of Shawnee
county. The so-called chickenpox cpl
demic is the principal cause for the
closing, but 1t is not the only reason.
Two schools northwest of the city have
been closed on account of scarlet fever,
and a. third is without a teacher.
The most OF the schools closed are in
Silver Lake and Menolzen townships. In
district SO, otherwise known as Mud
Valley or the Van OrsdaIe district, a
boy broke out with some sort of a dis
ease while he was still in school. A
physician was called and he pronounced
the disease a genuine case of smallpox.
This brought on a scare and the school
was Immediately closed, although many
of the children had played with the
sick boy the day he broke out.
Where the boy got the disease is a
mystery, as his parents claim he had
not been anywhere where the disease
exists, or where he would be likely to
be exposed to it.
District No. 10, sometimes known as
the Ridge district, adjoins Mud Valley,
and the boy who was taken sick lives
midway between the school houses OF
the two districts. The scare was COM
municated to the Ridge district people
because of the proximity of the sick
boy, and the school in that district was
also closed.
The Silver Lake schools and the one
in district 40, the Riley Ayers neighbor-
hood, have both been closed on account
OF scarlet fever, but just how many
cases there are in me two districts is not
known.
The Menoken school has been closed
during the past week because the
teacher, Miss Mccall, resigned her po-
sition to accept a better one in the To-
peka schools. The Menoken school
board will hold a meeting this after
noon to select another teacher, and the
school will be opened again Monday.
The Avondale school, south of the
city, which is a part of the Quinton
Heights district. is another which is
closed, on account of the smallpox.
The Oakland schools, which were
closed about ten days ago, are still
closed, but the vaccination of the chill
dren is about completed. and as the
Oakland people are well over their
scare, it is expected that the schools
will be opened again on Monday.
II know that the schools in seven dis
tricts are closed" said County Superin-
tendent Stout today, land 1 have been
told that there are two more out in
Auburn township, but they have not
been officially reported to me. and am
not certain about them. There may be
others also that have not heard of.
Il do not like to have the schools
closed unless there is good ground for
it. I have been intending to visit some
of these schools soon, but their closing
interferes with my programme"
The district in which Miss Helen Nor
Lake, and the board considered the
closing question, but decided to keep
the school open, as the children are less
liable to contract contagious diseases
If kept in the school room than they
would be If allowed to run at large.

A MODERN JOB.

On many occasions within the past
year it has been openly charged and
covertly limited by certain newspapers
and by members of both houses of con-
gress, that the administration was con-
cealing from the public important facts
in relation to what has been going on in
our part Of the orient. 1t has finally
developed that these charges were not
without foundation.
The truth has been brought to light
The president has been forced to di-
vulge a state secret.
The senate was determined to know
more about that treaty with the Sultan
of Sulu. It's demand for information
became too pressing to be longer re-
sisted and Mr.. Mckinley determined to
make a clean breast of it.
In pursuance of this determination
he sent to the senate a copy Of General
Bates report and other papers pertain
ing to the transaction and what must
have been the establishment of the SEN
ate to discover that. the treaty was not
negotiated with the sultan primarily,
but with his brother, because the sui
tan was suffering with boils to such an
extent that he could not put on his
coat, and not wishing to appear in his
shirtsleeves. felt constrained to absent
himself from the meeting.
Thus it is made apparent that there
has been a deliberate attempt at con-
cealment
For months the people have been kept
in ignorance about those boils.
Further probing may develop the fact
that the reason why the sultan could
not appear without his coat, was be-
cause he had no clean shirt to put on.
Let US have the whole horrible truth
while we are about it.

elected to succeed him. The change took
place Immediately.
Mr.. Willard returned Friday from a
trip to New York. He expects to move
east eventually, but declines to state in
what business he will engage.
My resignation has been brewing for
several months" said Mr.. Willard to-
day. Il do not care to talk about it at
present. expect to go east, but pend
ing my negotiations 1 do not wish to say
anything about that either, just now
w. A. L. Thompson, vice president of
the bank, said with reference to Mr..
Wizards resignation: Mr.. Willard
has been contemplating this move for
some time. He has had a number of
hattering offers of other positions, but
the bank has not wished to have him
resign and he has refused them up to
this time. He has other business in
terests. but what he intends to engage
in in the future do not know.
THE relations between the directors
and Mr.. Willard have been most pleas
ant and there is no friction between
them. When he retired the board
voted him two months salary. I am not
certain whether or not he is going to
leave Topeka, but 1 think he will re-
main here for a while any way"
Mr.. Willard was one of the promoters
of the bank when it was organized in
1888, and he has been it's cashier ever
since. Since Potwin was taken into the
city he has been a member of the city
council from the Sixth ward.
T. w. Freeman, who succeeds Mr..
Willard as cashier. has been assistant

He spent IA years in the Bank of To-

WORK FOR SOLDIERS.
What Is Being Done in Topeka-In-
formation For Those Interested.

Mrs. W. A. Johnston, the originator
of the travelling libraries in Kansas, has
achieved quite remarkable success in
that work, and is now planning to
broaden her field of operation.
1t is stated that in each of the mil
1tary organizations, Eleventh cavalry,
the Thirty-sixth and Twentieth infan-
try, still in the Philippines, there are a
these three regiments Mrs. Johnston de-
S1reS to send travelling library. These
library cases which are strongly made
of wood, contain fifty volumes and it is
thought can be easily carried about with
the regimental luggage, but in case that
is not advisable, they will be handed
over to the chaplains to send to the hos
pitfalls or the library being founded for
the use of Americans. Mrs. Johnston
has already received nearly enough
books to fill one case and others are be-
ing sent in every day.
The following letter was received Fri
day by the State Journal in regard to
the subject:
Cinarron, Kan, Feb. 1, 1900.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
I have good many magazines and
paper covered novels I would be more
than willing to give If could learn to
whom to send them, and how, and If the
expense is not too great. I have two
years of Cosmopolitans, and several
years of Lippincotts.
would send three or four magazines
every month if l could learn to whom
to send them.
Does every regiment have its chap
lain? 1 believe postage is the same as
to any place in this country.
If you can not give me the informa-
ton L wish, will you please give this
to some one who can do so? Or fur
nish me the address of some one 1 can
write to- MRS. c. A. CURTIS.
In reply to the questions in the above
letter Mrs. Johnston says that any one
wishing to send magaZines, should send
them directly to Manila, as the postage
there is the same as to any place in
the United States. If one wishes them
to go to the hospital, address to the U.
s. Army Hospital at Manila, or if they
prefer sending them to the field, address
to the chaplain of either regiment to
which they are to be sent. Mrs. Johnston
does not advise any one to send maya
zines more than two years. old as the
majority of the soldiers have probably
read them.
Any one wishing to send literature to
the soldiers by freight or express can
make arrangements to have it sent free
of charge from San Francisco, by ad :
dressing G. w. SawtelIe, captain and
assistant adjutant, U. s. Transport Ser
vice, San Francisco.
People DESTROYS of contributing books
to the libraries to be sent may leave
them at the state library or at the
home of Mrs. Johnston at 700 Topeka
avenue.
