COL. ABsRNETHY'S ADDRESS,

Following is what the Imboden
News says of the address dilivered
by Col. j. L. Aberneshy of this
place at the closing exercises of
the Sloan-H Hendrix Academy:
Hon, J. l.. Abernethy's ad-
dress Tuesday morning was quite
a treat and was delivered before
a large crowd. Col, Abernethy's
theme was Success" and al
though he is getting up in years,
he still has q good voice and his
talk was appreciated by everyone
present. For six years the Col
onel was prosecuting attorney of
this district, and his friends in
this county are legion. While he
was speaking he paused long
enough to greet one of his old
friends in the audience, and re-
marked that he was always glad
to come to Lawrence county. He
said he had travelled great deal
and had seen many beautiful
streams but our own Spring river
was the queen of them all; he
paid an eloquent tribute to Capt.
Sloan, for whom the Academy
was named, and said he had
rather have a monument like
Sloan-Hendrix Academy than to
have erected to his memory a
shaft of marble towering into the
clouds. Col. Abernethy made a
70 minutes talk and was inter-
rupted several times by enthus-
iastic applause.
We learn that George
W. McLain, the well known
citizen of Scott township,
happened to the misfortune
of getting one of his eyes
put out one day the first of

pened IN some way while
Mr.. McLain was driving a
binder. His many friends
here are sorry to learn OF
the accident.

Topeka, Aug. 26.-Attorneys Vance
and Campbell, of Topeka, representing
E. R. Brown, of this city, want Insur-
ance Superintendent w. V. Church to
begin proceedings to drive the Wood
men of the World Accident Association
of Omaha, out of business in Kansas.
They claim that Brown some time ago
obtained judgment in the lower court
against the association for injuries he
received in an accident. The associa-
ton has neither paid the Judgment nor
taken an appeal. The state law pro-
vides that if company fails to pay
any judgment or take an appeal with
in sixty days, the insurance commits
sioner can bring proceedings to force
it out of business, and this is what the
Topeka attorneys want done.

HAVE TIME TO PROPHESY.
Strikers And Steel Company Both
Express Confidence.
R. R. MEN STAND BY CONTRACT

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-The con-
Offices of the Amalgamated association
was the leading feature of the strike.
The officials of the organization all
seem to be pleased with the way things
were moving, and one of them said
somewhat mysteriously:
I'm another six days you will see
decided change in the strike that will
tell with greater effect on the trust
and aid in hurrying the final outcome
of the struggle"
The strikers make the claim that
little actual work has been done by the
combine since the strike began, and
that what product has been turned out
has been of an inferior character. Not
withstanding this, the steel officials
declare themselves well pleased with
the condition of affairs and say all the
mills started are in satisfactory work
ing order and turning out good product
The postponement of the attempt to
start the Demler plant of the American
Tin Plate company until next week, the
officials of the company say, was for
the purpose of putting the plant in
perfect order before the men started to
work. They say plenty of men will be
on hand when the time comes to oper-
ate the plant.
Attention was called to a former
statement made by the officials of the
corporation that while delays would
necessarily occur in operating the idle
plants, it would not deter the officials
frow proceeding along the same lines,
and that they were prepared to spend
all the time and money necessary to
fight the union and make all the plants
non-union in the end.
An interesting rumor reported from
New York was that circular letters had
been sent to all of the presidents of
labor unions by the Amalgamated asso-
citation asking what each would or could
do to assist the steel workers in their
strike. One of the replies, it is said
was received from P. NJ. Arthur, head
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. 1t is alleged that in this
reply President Arthur said his organ
ization held contracts with the various
railroads; that they also were bound to
move the United States mail, and that
the organization could make no distinc-
I
corporation and individual shippers.

KANSAS SCHOOL funds.
Garry Bonds of Other States, and
of0. T. Counties and Districts.
VERY INTERESTING FIGURES.

Topeka, Aug 26.-In the various state
educational funds there are now seven
and one-half million dollars in bonds
issued by Kansas municipalities. Dur
ing the past six months bonds have
been paid off as follows:
Permanent school, 5000, 67949; State
university, $500; Normal school, s14,-
2s5; Agricultural college, $50, 72o.25;
Stormont library S475.
The amounts of bonds held in the funds
at the present time follow:
Permanent school, Sc, ga ,541.77; State
university, S149, O31 &c; Normal school,
S1sl, 1884; Agricultural college, T2,-
03O.O5; StOrmont library, S4,O75.
Shawnee county is the greatest debt
or to the funds. Bonds amounting to
S64s.s34 issued by it are held in the per-
manent school fund, S35, 900 in the
State university fund and s., 200 in the
Normal school fund. Cove county has
the least outstanding Indebtedness,
there being but $500 of it's bonds held
in the permanent school fund. Even
the state of Kansas has bonds held in
the funds. Of these there are S623 900
in the permanent school fund and IS, 600
in the State University fund.
Owing to the fact that much of the
endowment of the State agricultural
college was contributed by the govern
ment, its finances are in the hands of
loan commissioner. He, by act of con-
gress, is required to place the funds at
his disposal in securities bearing not
less than five per cent interest. Kansas
municipal bonds are in high favor and
most of them are negotiated at a lower
rate of interest than five per cent. This
has necessitated the investment of much
of the money of the college in bonds
issued by other states. The college
fund now holds S172, 323 in bonds issued
by Oklahoma counties, townships and
school districts. These bear all the
way from five to seven per cent interest

AN UNDERGROUND RIVER
From North to South Across the State of
Ohm.

Marion, o., Aug. 24.-Roaring wells
in widely separate parts of the state
indicate the existence of mighty sub
terranean river that flows across the
state at depth of comparatively few
feet below the surface, at least at GER
tain places. The latest of the roaring
wells is at Chardon, suburb of Cleve-
land. The men have refused to work
in it and plans are being made to dyna-
mite it.
The phenomena are exactly the same
as those noticed in well on the farm
of Mrs. Ensminger, near here. When
this well had been dug to depth of
about fifty feet the roaring noise be-
came alarming, and during the night
the bottom fell out and left an opening
into subterranean stream that was so
swift that it was impossible to sound
it.
The wells at Chardon are evidently
on the same underground river, for the
phenomena are identical and indicate
that the mighty unseen river extends
across the state from north to south.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-The contest

the suggestion that another move for

Baugh, wife of the superintendent, is
escorting the strike breakers to and
from the mill. She has always been
very popular with the mill men and
they say they would rather face a regi-
ment of soldiers than do anything i'm
proper in her presence. They say that
in peace she nursed their families and
that they cannot interfere with her OF

ALL ABOUT LAYTON.
Building Going on Rapidly-TroubIe
About Brick Making.

Lawton, Aug. 22.-Lawton is peopled
by men from all over the United States
and few from other countries, but
only few.
Lawton is spreading. Any one COM
ing in now and having been here dur
ing the first few days would say that
another boom had busted, but the fact
is that the contested conditions that
business lots that have been purchased
on the townsite are now being occupied.
Large frame buildings are being erect
ed on them and stock is being put into
them. In many cases the buildings
are only temporary, and waiting until
brick can be made. The making of
brick is delayed by the difficulty of
securing the privilege of starting brick
yards on claims. The homesteaders
want first to know what effect this
might have on their rights. Rock Is
land stations are congested with freight.
Foodstuffs are the first to be put on
wagons for their distribution and this
management has kept down prices.
1t is remarkable that during all the
rush of thousands no one has been
killed or injured by or on Rock Island
trains. The masses of people would
crowd trains, not being particular
about cars, and freight cars were salts

One very dangerous thing in Lawton
is the open wells, some of which are 81

trell Raid Scrip.
Topeka, Aug. 26.-State Auditor
George Z. Cole will make out a bill
showing the amount Kansas has paid
in Quantrell raid scrip. Many years
ago the people who lost property dur
ing the raid asked the federal govern
ment for compensation for their losses.
They were informed that they would
have to be paid by the state, and that
after the claims were all settled the
state could look to the federal govern
ment for reimbursement. The state
went ahead and ascertained the amount
of loss and then issued scrip for it.. The
last of the scrip was paid off few
months ago, and the state auditor is
now at work compiling the figures and
getting them in shape for presentation
to the federal government for payment.
1t will require an act of congress ap-
propriating the money, but the Kansas
delegation will no doubt be able to get
such a measure through. The amount
aggregates in the neighborhood OF
