School Land, In New Counties.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 26.-Will L. Lit
tie, having in charge the appraisement
of the school lands in the Kiowa and
Comanche country, says that the APP
praisement of all the lands east of
range IA, which are. in the district
where lessees are restricted to 100 acres
each, are nearly completed. The APP
praisers actually go on each 40-acre
tract of land and make complete
Typographical record of the character
of the land, and are making about
twenty-five per cent more progress
than the department had figured on.
These lands will be advertised for
thirty days and everyone will have a
fair chance at them. If quarter sec
ton is appraised at a certain price, the
man who bids the highest for the right
of possession will have the right of
lease for three years at the appraised
valuation. This rule is intended to
give the school fund part of the
money which has heretofore gone to
lessees for surrendering their leases.

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, $500, 670.49 State
university, S., 100; Normal school, $l4,-
2s5; Agricultural college, $50, 72a.a5;
Stormont library S475.
The amounts of bonds held in the funds
at the present time follow:
Permanent school, SO, GA, SALT; State
university, $40, O31. &C; Normal school,
$751; ,702.54; Agricultural college, S72,-
O3O.05; Stormont library, S4,075.
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, $4,000 in the
State university fund and 5000 in the
| Normal school fund. Cove county has
the least outstanding Indebtedness,

in the permanent school fund. Even
the state of Kansas has bonds held in
the funds OF these there are $C23, 900
in the permanent school fund and 50, 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 a
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 lower
rate of interest than five per cent. This
has necessitated the investment of much
of the money of the college in bends
issued by other states. The college
fund now holds SIZE, 1923 in bonds issued
by Oklahoma counties, townships and
school districts. These bear all the
way from five to seven per cent interest.

KANSAS WILL GET s5OO,oOO.
A Reimbursement OF Payment OF Guam
trell Raid Scrip.

Topeka, Aug. 26.-State Auditor
George Il. Cole will make out 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'll 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 APP
propriating the money, but the Kansas
delegation will no doubt be able to get
such measure through. The amount
aggregates in the neighborhood OF
$500. OOO

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Southern
Democratic members of Congress are
greatly pleased at the attitude OF
Southern Republicans towards the
proposed reduction of Southern repre-
sentation The meeting of Southern
Republican Congressman in Senator
Pritchard's room last night disclosed
the fact that nearly all OF the eighteen
Republican Representatives and six
Republican Senators from the South
ern States are opposed to reducing
the South's representation.
Another meeting is to be held next
week in order to prepare to fight the
movement in whatever shape 1t comes
up. Mr.. Crumpacker intends to press
the measure and will have his caucus
called early after the holiday recess.
1t is difficult TO say just now what the
caucus will do. There seems TO be no
doubt that a great majority Of the eau
cus are at present In favor OF the
Crumpacker bill. .bu the Southerners
hope to present their side so complete
ly that unfavorable action will be TAX

The question as to the course OF the
Southerners in the event of hostile
caucus action is at this time unconsi

that after full discussion II the caucus

GOebel Papers
Destroyed BY Fire

EINCINNA Ohio. Dec. l7.-By the
burning of the store OF Lowry q
Coebel Arthur Goebel lost his papers
relating to the death of his brother
William Goebel. and the trials OF ex-
Secretary of State Caleb Powers
James Howard. Henry Youtsey and
others who have been tried or indicted
in Kentucky for the tragedy at Frank
fort almost two years ago. Tn
papers include attidavits. confessions
and volumes Of testimony.
While Arthur Gocbel suffered con-
SIDERABLE loss in the burning of the
store. he grleved more over the loss
of the papers than of his goods.
Since the death of his brother he has
given most of his time to secur'"
evidence for the attorneys in the pro-
secution in these cases At times he
would work all night on the papers.
until his physicians compelled him to
tahe more rest.
The next cases likely to be called
are the Howaras. on which Arthur
G0ebel, his attorneys. detectives and
others are now working.
