Sell Cheap Charts for Exorbitant
Figures and Divide With
School OfffciaIs-LeNis
Is WrOth.

"0Cnt"y school districts all over Min
neSota have been Victiuined during the
spring by representatives of school pub
fishing houses 10 S1ch an extent that the
matter has been officially called to the
attention Of State Superintendent Lewis.
Rural school districts are in most cases
conducted on very economical basis,
and losses sustained III this way weigh
heavily on the constituents of the school.
Generally tae moduS Operapdi of repre-
sentativea Of publishing houses has been
to visit the officers of the district make
themselves solid by an invitation to dine
at the country hotel, and sell a chart
worth S. for $35. OF this sum the local
officers, of which there are usually two,
receive $40 of the money collected. Occa-
sionally local school officials refuse TO be
come parties to the plan to rob the dis
trict, and these have laid complaints be-
fore Mr.. Lewis. The school book men Wis
1t sometimes as many as half dozen
districts in a week and successfully, work
their scheme, thereby realizing handsoml
profits The chart Is perhaps 2fx33, and
contains about twenty pages. On the
market 1t can be bought for 50, and a.
that figure sales are very profitable, as
IL could be printed for about 81
MIR. Lewis Is determined to hunt down
the houses that coantenance such prac-
tees on the part Of their authO lied
agents. He will within a short time is
sue a circular warning school district Of
flcials against buying charts at such fig
ures. However. at ds "a matter that is not
easy to regulate, as the statesmen divide
the spoils with the school district officers
who are frequently village politicians, and
not loath to share in the scheme 10 beat
the school treasury. Mr.. Lewis, however,
proposes to, strike home, and publish a
list of the houses whose agents are dis
honest, and in this seek to remedy the
evil at It's source. ~.
School districts, both rural and regular,
have from time to time been victims Of
schemes of this sort to defraud, and hav9
been successfully worked by the dish n.
set; with the same success that the Fight
,ning-fpds men worked the farmers for
many years number of state superin-
tendents have issued circulars similar to
that proposed by Mr.. Lewis.

SWINDLED FARMER
GEORGE RATCHET ACCEPTED
CONFEDERATE BILLS.
Were Gwen Him by George PrOppe of
Marion

Deputy United States Marshal Fred
Trigg yesterday arrested George Proppe
of Marion on the charge of passing Con-
federate bills for United States currency.
He was brought here and will have his
hearing tomorrow morning before Com
missioner Sherman.
Proppe is about II years of age and is
the son of a prominent citizen of Marion
1t is charged that he passed the bill on
John Ptachek, an old Bohemian farmer,
living near Marion. Ptachek took the
bills in good faith, suplrosing them to be
good
This is the first case of this kind which
has ever come up in Kansas. 1t is still
rather an undecided matter whether or
not a Confederate bill can be considered
an imitation or counterfeit of United
States currency.
The first case ever tried on this charge
was heard before Judge Phillips of Kan
sas City. The latter decided that a Con-
federate bill was counterfeit of the cur
rency. being of a similitude which would
lead to deception.
The charge against Proppe will be made
a test case in the courts of this state
and, as the latter's parents are quite
wealthy. it is. possible that the case may
be carried up and decided in the higher
courts
