TROUBLE OVER A TEACHER
People of Hartford Are in an Un-
pleasant Controversy.

The people of Hartford. Lyon county,
are having a school racket and it was
necessary to call up State Superintendent
Nelson by telephone to settle a few ques-
tiOnS.
Mr.. Baughman, who has been teaching
at Hartford, is said to have failed to get
a certificate at the last teachers, exami-
nation He is very popular at Hartford
and both the people and the school board
wished to keep him, but the school laws
do not intend that a teacher without a
certificate shall be empl Dyed in Kansas
The board finally employed Mrs Ella
Christian of Emporia to succeed Mr..
Baughman, but when she went to take
the school she found a regular hornet $
nest.
Baughman that they made all sorts of
trouble. A subscription paper was started
to raise funds to keep Baughman any
way, and finally friends of Mrs. Christian
telephoned to Superintendent Nelson on
the subject and Mr.. Nelson advised the
school board to proceed according to law
and employ a teacher who holds a certifi-
cate. The board then disregarded its for
mer action and elected ]. H. SaWtell to the
place to which it had already elected Mrs.
Christian. That is is far as the trouble
has progressed thus far.

ing happened. He turned states evil
dence and testified that he didn't know
where he was going when he drove to
the Deitrick farm with Amos the night
of the robbery.
Ralph Brubaker testified that the
Brubakers had two farm wagons and a
buggy in which to make the trip after
the hogs. He explained how the hogs
were loaded of the trip to town and of
taking the hogs to the packing house.
He rode with Amos in a buggy behind
the two wagon loads of hogs. He de-
scribed the trip.
The defense attempted to prove an
alibi. Testimony was introduced to
prove that Amos Brubaker attended a
revival meeting in Parkdaie the night
of the hog stealing and did not leave
the meeting until after 10 o'clock. The
defense endeavored to prove that he
could not have left the meeting after 10
O'Clock and made the trip to the Deit-
rick farm and back that night. A vein
attempt was made to discredit the tes-
timony of Ralph Brubaker The case
went to the jury at 5 o'clock.

JOKE Conner DAVIES.
How He Gave Retroactive Certificate
of Character.

Conner Davies, editor of the Concordia
kansan, and president of the Kansas
/ Editorial association, tells a good story
on himself. Mr.. Davies, by the way, is
not only one of the best newspaper men
| in Kansas, but he also has two political
| booms in embryonic for the Populist
nomination for secretary of state and
! the other for congressman from the
| Fifth district
Everybody in northern Kansas knows
Uncle Jim" Haga1nan, who was for
many years editor of the COncordia
Blade. Three or four years ago he sold
the Blade, and although more than 40
years old he started for the Klondike
| to dig gold. He lost all his savings,
became broken in health, and finally
reached Seattle penniless and sick. The
people of COncOrdia raised money to
help him and he finally reached home
again. He roasted nearly everybody
in Concordia while he owned the Blade,
but still nearly everybody is his friend.
A short time ago Mr.. Haganan need
| ed certificate of character" A large
number of people, among them Mr.
Davies, signed a statement which said,
among other things, that Mr.. Hagaman
is a man of the strictest integrity and
of the best reputation for truth and
veracity, and under no circumstances
would he make any statement of fact
that was not absolutely true"
Now some of the ConcOrdia people
| who remember things have dug up the
old files of the Blade that Hagaman
was publishing when Davies first went
lnere from RepuD1c county, ana In6y
find among the cheerful statements
which Hagaman made about Davies the
| following:
He was driven out of Republic coun-
ty by an outraged public.
HE lost a leg while drunk and dead
beating his way on a railway train.
He is a failure in business and
sQuandered the fortune his wife had
when he married.
He half Starves his children while
he spends his money in the saloons.
He is mean to his family, and beats
his mother-in-law at least twice a day."
Davies enjoys a joke on himself more
than anybody, and he is still standing
by the certificate of character he gave

FILED FOR REFERENCE.
Miscellaneous Requests For Secretary
Coburn's Report.

Beneath his desk in the offices of the
department of agriculture in the state
house, Secretary Coburn keeps a basket
with capacity of about one bushel.
Into this basket are put all the miscel-
laneous requests for just one of the
publications of the department-the
last biennial report. Miscellaneous re-
quests are those which come from
those to whom the departments publ
cations are not sent regularly.
The basket is now full 1t contains
hundreds and hundreds of letters from
all over the country from people asking
Secretary Coburn for copy of the last
biennial report. The regular mailing
list of the department includes the
names of every newspaper in the state
and several thousands farmers who val
ue the documents of the department
and use them in their work. but the
basket of miscellaneous requests does
not include any of these.

GOES TO YUCATAN.
Warden Jewett in 6each of Sisal For
Binding Irvine.

The price of sisal out of which bind
ing Irvine is made is very high on the
eastern market this year, and for that
reason Warden Jewett of the Kansas
penitentiary, accompanied by the war
dens of the Illinois and Michigan state
prisons, has gone to Yucatan to see If
he cannot purchase the raw material
and import it cheaper than it can be
purchased in the east.
Warden Jewett will be gone about
month, during which time he will thor
oughly investigate the production of
sisal in Yucatan.
The penitentiaries of Michigan and IL
l1nois also maintain binding Irvine
plants similar to that in connection
with the Kansas penitentiary. If the
sisal for the three plants is purchased
and shipped together it is figured that
1t can probably be secured considerably
cheaper than if it were purchased from
eastern importers. For this reason the
wardens of the three penitentiarieS will
act together, and if there is any saving
it will accrue to the farmers or wheat
growers of the three states.
A small shipment of sisal was re-
ceived a few days ago at the Kansas
penitentiary, and the Irvine plant began

 For seventeen years the Wallace show has visited the chief cities of this State and of the country. but this city never before has been On its route. Our citi- zens are liberal patrons of anything Tn the circus line, and a show of the high standard and real merit possessed by the Great Wallace Show Is sure to be most Hberally patronzed
 A large number of the residents of this city have either seen or heard of the Wallace Shows. and have direct knowl- edge that 1t Is high-class attraction, but for the benefit of those who are not so
 well posted, we will state that the Great
 Wallace Show Is one of the largest or the road It has a large menagerie. three
 rings and a stage, and has national reputation for having the finest horses on earth It claims to be the highest cIask circus in the world" and. judging from the press notices by the papers oi the large cities of this State and through

 Tuscaloosa will soon have free collection and distribution of mail matter, as the postoffice receipts has reached the re- quired s10,OOO. Postoffice Inspector Dean Bailey of Mobile has been in the city for several days past. In an interview MT Bailey said that 1t Is now up to Tusca- loosa to say whether it will have free
 delivery, the only thing now being neces- sary is the naming of the intersections Of streets and the numbering of the houses. The certifying of the condition of the streets to the department is left to the postmaster. As soon as the department
 Is assured of the requirements being com
 piled with it will be ready to establish the system, which will probably be some time in January of February. There
 will be two carriers and the routes will
 probably extend west as far as the Mobile and Ohio depot. south to Crescent City Avenue and east to Queen City Street. which Is practically the same as the old corporation line.
