MUST BE FIT TO USE.
That Is Condition of Exchange Says
Mr.. Nelson.

An important consideration in the ex-
change of school books under the state
text book law is the condition of the
books which are offered for exchange, but
no rule has been laid down to how good
they. must be or whether publishers must
accept anything that is offered them in
the way of an old text book formerly
used in the schools.
Superintendent Nelson has received
numerous inquiries along this line. and
he in turn referred it to Attorney Gen
eral GODDARD. Mr.. GODDARD says the law
doesn't say anything on that score, but
he thinks a safe rule to follow would be
to compel an exchange wherever a book
is in such condition that a child could
continue to use it. The attorney general
opinion is as follows:
THE law is not definite and clear in its
terms as to what shall be the condition of
school books which will BE accepted in ex-
change for new books adopted bv the
state text book commission. The act of the
legislature in regard to the adoption of
text books, in providing for the exchange
of the old books for new ones, provides
that any school book company person or
firm who shall contract to furnish the
public schools of the state of Kansas with
school books under the provisions of this
act, shall take up the books
now in use, etc. The exchange you will
see by this language is simply for the
books in use and no attempt is made to
specify the condition of such books which
will entitle them to be used in exchange.
This being true, it is very difficult to give
any general rule that will be applicable in
all cases. It is possible If the question
should come before the supreme court that
they would endeavor to make such a con-
struction of the act as would establish a
rule which would be applicable in most
cases. In my judgment the only safe con-
struction to give the act at this time, is to
hold that where a book is in such condi-
hat fho anil nd 0Hr11A
tinue to use the same at school provided
no exchange was required, then such book
would be exchangeable for the new adop-
ton; and that if the book was in such
condition that the pupil could not con-
tinue to use the same, it would not be ex-
changeable."

HAVE TOO MUCH RAIN.
Heavy Storm Stops Vancouver
Work at Fort Riley.

Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. 3-Another
heavy storm of wind and rain swept
down on Camp Root last night, and this
morning the conditions were such that
Gen. Bates declared the maneuvers for
the day suspended until further orders.
1t was the intention to hold the exercises
late in the day if the storm suDsids0,
but all through the early portion of the
day the wind screeched and howled and
the rain fell heavily. It seemed impos
sible to prevent the rain from driving
through the tent flaps, no matter in
what direction the tent faced.
The programme for today comprised
the construction of a field bridge ana
the formation of advance guards and
rear guards with simulated attacks
made by small detachments of regulars.
This will prObab bly, be the order of ex-
ercises for tomorrow in place of the
tactical maneuvers set for that day.
The engineer battalion is having con-
siderable trouble with it's Dontoon
bridge on account of the rapid rise in
the river Floating trees have damaged
1t badly several times, and there has
been much trouble in keeping it intact
until the time set for the exhibition of
pontOon building.
The Kansas militia will not remain
throughout the entire maneuvers il
having been determined to send then.
home on Monday. This is a source OF
regret to the regular officers, as several
OF the most interesting maneuVerS are
set for the early part of next week.
Late this afternoon the officers Of the
national guard held a meeting in the
mess tent and adopted resolutions set
neuvers to the members of the national
guard.

WHAT MORSE SAID.
Stock Yards President Discusses the
Proposed Merger.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. SC. F. Morse,
yer stock yards companies. speaking OF
the Denver story to the effect that tie
National Live Stock association, west
ern railways and individual stockmen
would fight the proposed stock yards
merger, said:
Il presume that this dispatch origi-
mated in the fact that 1 have recently
been called on by representatives of
some of the principal live stock associa-
tions of the southwest as to the atti
tude which the Kansas City stock yards
company would take toward the estab-
lishment of a large packing plant a.
this place to be owned by cattlemen.
While in Denver few days ago I met
Mr.. J. w. Springer, the president of the
National Live Stock association. who
told me that such an enterprise was
taking form and this would be the mat
ter of greatest interest to be discussed
at the annual meeting of the associa-
ton, which will be held in Kansas City
next January.
no difficulty in raising a capital of $10,-
900, 900 or SIS, 100000 for this purpose and
asked if the Kansas City Stock Yards
company would aid and encourage such
an enterprise. I told him that it had
always been the policy of this company
to assist in the establishment of pack
ing houses here; and while l was not
authorized to speak for the company at
this time, that it was my judgment that
if such a company could be organized
the stock yards would be glad to meet
it with the same Hberality that it has
shown to other companies in the past .

BROKE ITS RECORD.
Santa Fe Did Big Business in
G. A. r. ExcursiOnists.

Instead of falling short Of expecta-
lions, as organized excursions are wont
to do. the G.. A. r. business which
passed through Topeka Thursday was
more than the traffic officials had antici-
pated, and it required some quick. work
by general superintendent and division
superintendent to secure equipment
enough to handle the unexpected
crowds. The Rock Island did a large
business, and the Santa Fe broke the
record.
Twenty-Five carloads of people passed
through Topeka on the Santa Fe en-
route to Washington. Out of Kansas
City the Santa Fe hauled As carloads to
Chicago.
The main line special of the Santa F'e,
which was supposed to consist of IL
cars, had increased to II cars when it
reached Topeka. This immense train
was hauled by one of the big Prairie en-
gines and was whirled into Topeka al
the rate of so miles an hour. Santa Fe
officials claim that they have the only
engines in the west which can haul q
11-car passenger train.
1t is estimated that on No and ali
the special trains out of Kansas City
over the Santa F'e yesterday there were
over 1000 people for Washington.
w j. Black, general passenger agent,
said today: The rush was remarka BILE.
and 1 believe it to be a fact that this
years Kansas delegation to the G. A.
R. encampment will be the largest in
the history of the state. Many of the
old soldiers realize that this may be
about the last time they will feel able
to attend an encampment, and they are
improving the opportunity to visit
Washington and the famous battle
grounds of the east. Usually we find
that more people promise to go on such
excursions than actually go. This year
it was just the reverse on the Santa Fe
lines. We hauled more people than we
were expecting to haul"
There was no official route selected
for the veterans this year, and the con-
test for business was a free for all The
Rock Island ran two specials out of the
state yesterday afternoon. and hauled
many Topeka people, including the
Modoc club.
The following is the list of Santa Fe
trains which were filed with old sol
dio-s:
Regular passenger, No. ell coaches.
Main line special, section 2 of No. g.
II coaches.
Southern Kansas special, section of
No. 60 coaches.
Oklahoma specials coaches.

Young Man Who Left Home July l

Theodore Killian. a young man living
on West Sixth avenue who left home
July 1 without notifying his relatives.
and VINO remained unheard of until a
few days ago, has been located on a
Colorado cattle ranch not far from
Denver. He had been sick for some
time and did not write an extended let

safe and that since leaving Topeka he
had been in nine states.
There was no reason given for his
sudden departure from home. except
that he liked a freer life than could be
found in a citv.

such an extent that it is dangerous for

why the milk should not be abundant

GIFT CARNIVAL A LOTTERY
P. o. Dept. Ruling Which, However,

Harris received Instructions from the post
office department at Washington yesterday
to bar from the mails all printed matter
relating to the Convention hall gift carni-
val, which the department has decided is
a lottery.
The ruling in no way affects the Con-
vention hall guessing contest on the total
vote for gov ernor of the state of Kansas.
The gift carnival which was held Tuesday
September 3, was for the purpose of slim
ulating interest in the guessing contest,

Convention hall betterments.
