every particle of gold out Of the beach,

Some OF the mining companies have been

Nome will be mere bagatelle compared
with that Of the two previous years. Said
Mr.. Compton:
Thus far IN the Klondike region and in

the mining is purely of a placer character.

STATE SCHOOL MONEY.
The Annual Apportionment is Made
BY the State Superintendent.


BY the State Superintendent.
State Superintendent of Public In
w. w. Welch has complet-
ed the annual apportionment of the
state school income fund amounting
to $lO5,S42.2O, the largest amount ever
apportioned to the schools of the
state, says the Helena Herald. !,
One year ago the appOrtionment
amounted to $SO,42S.5O, which was
then regarded as a large amount,
much larger than the amounts avail
able at any of the previous appor-
tionments.
The per capita oasis of the distribu-
ton this year is $1.S5, while the per
capita year ago was $1.50. Vouchers
will be mailed to county treasurers
for distribution among the school dis
tricts of each county by State Treas.
urer Barrett early next week.
The distribution of funds does not
include the money derived from tax
alton for school purposes, but is
merely the cash income from the sale
and rental of lands held in trust by
the state for the state school fund.
The following is list of the coun
ties and the amounts due each, based
upon the school census taken last fall

The council heard the charges read and
then decided to have the trial of the
judge March 10. The law provides that
when charges are filed against an OIL
Ger the council shall investigate within
ten DAYS The charges as fled are:
That c. A. Magaw, as police judge
of the city shows a prejudice IN faVcr
OF persons charged with unlawful sale

est punishment is imposed upon Suc1
persons no matter how often the same
person is brought before him for the

Der Of cases from the. police record to

He also charges that Judge Mag9w
discharged jointistS who were charged
with selling liquor when the testimony
was clear, direct and positive; that he
accepted bonds without proper investi-
cation as to financial responsibilities of
the bondsmen; that he was IN COLLISION
with the attorney representing defend

not afford to vote against 1T in view Of
the present temper of the people.
The ordinance is far reaching and goes
beyond the old search and seizure or
dinance. If it is enforced it will be inn
possible to get a drink in Topeka except
at a drug store where a permit has been
granted. According to the terms of the
ordinance it is considered an unlawful
sale to call a friend in your house and
give him a drink of beer or other liquor.
A man is guilty of a violation of the
ordinance If he is found in q place where
liquor is sold and it does not require
that an actual sale shall be proven The
fact that liquor is kept anywhere is con-
sidered evidence sufficient to convict 1t
also makes it unlawful to be member
of a club where any liquor IS taken for
division among the members. Every
member is considered as having violated
the ordinance and the place is considered
common nuisance. Any one can
abate the nuisance by swearing ouI a
warrant and having the place searched
The penalty for violations IS a fine of
not less than 500 nor more than $500 and
imprisonment for not less than thirty
days nor more than 100 in the city jail.

but that there We're sections he objected

should chance to ask friend into his

said. II don't believe there is a. member

Mr. Myers made the same objection
and said that he thought the council
men should have time to look the or
dinance over before passing On it. There
are sections in it I do not like he said,
and think we should put this matter
over until next meeting night"
Mr.. Weber also objected to the pass
ing OF the ordinance without a chance
to consider it, but the mayor ruled that
the ordinance had been read by sections
and adopted and that a motion to post
pone was out Of order
About this time everybody had some
thing to say at the same time but Mr.
Belts was finally recognized and said:
There Is politics in bringing this Or
dtnance up tonight and that is all there
is in it. No man who is a man can vote
for the ordinance as it now stands. If it
