Regarding tho Litigation Brought BY

Denver, COL, Aug. ia confer
ence was held in the office of Gov.

brought by the state of Kansas

pie Of this state using the waters OF

partment Of agriculture; State Engi-
neer McCune and Attorney General

flow in the river after it enters that

RULES FOR EXCHANGE.
Regulations Under Which School
Books May Be Secured.

The new school text books will soon
be here. Attention is called to the
following rules under which local
agents must work in making ex'
changes:
Agents must not take old books In
exchange from other dealers. Ex'
changes can only be made with pa
trt rs or districts, and for books that
were adopted by the commission five
years ago.
Agents are cautioned not to allow
dealers to run In their old text books,
or books they may take in exchange
on their account, for exchange. This
would be an injustice to you and to us.
Districts wishing to make exchanges
should do SO with agents, as 1t will be
cheaper; for should they wish to avoid
the per cent, and make exchange with
the central house at Topeka, they
would have to pay freight and oil ex'
penss in getting old books to Topeka.

MAILED ANOTHER FALsEHooD.
Senator Burton Speaks Under State
Committee Auspices.

Yesterday, the Topeka State journal
evidently thinking that Senator Bur
ton had left for Hawaii, and the story
could not be denied, printed a state
ment that he and Chairman Albaugh
OF the state committee had bitter
quarrel and Albaugh told Senator
Burton that the state central com.
mittee would not allow him to speak
under its auspices. Mr.. Albaugh re-
fused to stand for it and brands the
whole thing as ialsehood by the fol.
lowing statement:
"The only semblance Of truth in the
story is the statement that Senator
Burton and myself had q conference.
When we met stated to Senator Bur-
ton that thought that the speakers
who went into the campaign under
the direction Of the state committee
should stand squarely upon the plat.
form as well as by the state ticket.
Senator Burton replied, SO do l.
HE then went on to state that be
would like to 60 into the campaign IS
usual this year and said that he had
fully explained his position on the
Cuban reciprocity question in his two
speeches at Topeka and Abilene and
was prepared to 60 on the stump and
support the platform.
"This was perfectly satisfactory to
both him and myself, Instead Of be-
ing stormy the conference was the
most pleasant possible. You can
state positively that Senator Burton
will be in the campaign this year un-
der the direction Of the Republican
state committee"

MANY PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Astonishing reve-
lations Of great loss Of life and property
caused by the eruption Of the Santa Maria
volcano are being made daily, says a ca
blegram from Guatemala City, under date
Of November 9, transmitted by way OF san
Salvador.
Eruptions continue. Many hundreds OF
human beings have perished and the de-
struction OF property is considered greater
than that in the island Of Martinique by tho
eruption Of Noun. Pelee.
All Of the estates in the neighborhood
Of the volcano are buried under volcanic
ashes, which reach to the tops OF houses.
The richest coffee estates are completely
ruined. The principal losers are the large
coffee planters, mostly United States citi-
zens and Germans, whose properties ara
ruined.
Two or three new Craters haye IecL
formed on the side OF the volcano. 5aero
was no eruption from the summit.
Pumice and ashes we're carried cla1y
in the southern and western directions. Tho
sea had a coating OF volcanic matter OK
tending for many miles.
Tho loss of the coffee crop, which is
Guatemala's principal export, has com
pletely demoralized and the gov
eminent finances generally.
The national paper currency, which is the
only circulating medium, has fallen to Z
cents gold for one paper dollar. Prices
for all necessaries have risen to a pro-
hibitive figure for many persons.
The authorities are trying to force the
dealers to sell goods at the usual prices,
but the condition Of affairs is such that
business is entirely paralyzed.
Violently worded handbills and posters
are being circulated.
