The Hutchinson water company which
used to be managed about as badly as
the Dodge City company is, has made a
big change for the better, and finds that
it is making Il third more money by
using its patrons decently. This year
the Hutchinson company has reduced
the rates on water and is offering a cash
prize for the best kept lawn. Service
has been improved in every way and the
number OF patrons has almost doubled.
If the owners Of the Dodge City water
works would take the trouble to look
over the situation here they would prob
ably see where they are both losing
money aud making enemies Of their
patrons.

aged--Other Facts About Them.
There seem to be some wrong ideas in
parts Of Ford county regarding the man.
agement and control Of Il county high
school, some thinking that such A school
il established in Dodge City would be
under the same management as the city
schools. The following explains the law
in regard to the management Of county
high schools:
The school is managed by board Of
trustees consisting Of six elected for that
purpose and the county superintendent
ex oticio president Of the board. The
commissioners appoint these to hold till
the first regular election, but more than
two cannot be appointed from the same
township Or city. The trustees recon-
mend the levy to be made for the tx
pense of running the school but they can
not levy more than three mills for cur
rent expenses in any year. All pupils Of
the county who have passed the common
school examination or the one given for
entrance by the school shall be entitled
to attend without paying tuition. Pu-
pills may attend from other counties
when the school Is not crowded by pay
Ing a tuition fee determined by the
board of trustees. Three courses must be
maintained; one collegiate course,
graduates from which shall be entitled to
enter the State University or State Agri-
cultural college without examination
another normal course which entities
the graduate to second grade teachers

professional work at the State Normal
school; and the third, general course
suited to those who expect to stop when
they have completed the high school
course.

Mail order houses are flooding tia
country with attractive literature. The
people Of Kansas will buy lots of goods
this spring and they are going to buy
these goods where they think they can
get the best bargain. If the mail order
man gets in the best argument there Is
little doubt where the goods will be
bought. The merchant who waits for
customers ''because everybody knows
he's in business" will lose out. People
are looking for bargains and people read.

THE PACIFIC MERGER CASE
Will Not Consent to M0diflca-

Attorney Generals Instructions to N This Effect Were Not Issued to Blind the Public, But
 Are Bona Eide

Washington. Apri! 1s.-The Department of Justice today gave out the following:
 ''The intimation in dispatch from St Paul, made by one of the counsel for the Northern Securities Company that the Attorney-GeneraI privately expressed himself as willing to have the decree in the Northern Securities case modified temporarily or suspended. and instructed the United States Attorney to the con- trary merely for public effect. Is utterly without foundation.
 "The Attorney-Gene has consistently and unalterabiy held that the decree en- joins the violation of penal statute and that to mitigate or suspend it in any way would amount to q license to cop tinue to violate this law. The instruc- tions to the United States Attorney re- fleets upon its face the positiveness and earnestness with which this view will be maintained before the court and the re- ported statement by counsel for defense is beyond all the facts and proprieties of the case"

TRAorNo sl,ooo BILLS.
St. Louis Grand Jury Looking for
 the Money,

St. Louis. April 1s,--Trace of four more $f.0o0 bills NYas obtained today In the evidence presented to the St. Louis grand jury. It Is said that three of the bills were used in connection with the alum bill legislation in the Senate and the fourth was used; in the text book legis- lation in the House. This information will be transmitted to Attorney General Crow at Jefferson City, where the indict- ments will be found.
 Among the witnesses today was Rev. 8. Brooks, pastor of the Christian Church at Jefferson City, who began the poodle crusade by declaring from the pulpit that bribery was rampant in the Missouri Legislature. Rev. MT. Brooks further astounded his audience by declaring that he knew a man to whom a 2, 900 bill had been paid for legislative influence. Right on the top of this came the charges of Speaker Whitecotton, on the floor of the House that money had been used to de- feat the text book bill. Grand jury in- vestigation simultaneously In Jeff ITS l.l City and St. Louis resulted.
 The grand jury session here today was brief. The other witnesses before 1t were Eugene Hansmann. justice of peace of Maplewood. Senator Sartortus. Represen- tative Joseph Lee. Attorney Stanley Stoner and J. T. Craighead all of St. Louis.
 While Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee is believed to be in Chicago. nothing more was learned today as to his exact where abouts.

TO PLACATE GERMANY
AMERICAN SQUADRON WILL co
 TO KEEL.
Criticism of the Berlin Press Be cause of Our Courtesy to Presi- dent Loubet is Based on
 MisapprehenSion.

Washington, April is.-From the high est official. quarters 1t is learnsd that the criticism in few 9erman newspapers
 directed against the declination of the
 Navy Department here tp send an Amer. iean squadron to Kiei this summer ars
 based upon e complete understandinf
 of the situation. The facts are as fol
 lows:
 No set and formal invitation from the
 German Government 10 send an Ameri-
 can squadron to Kiel was ever received
 but through semi-ofilcial channels init
 nations reached Washington that the
 German Emperor would be pleased to re- ceive the North Atlantic Squadron al
 Kiei during the naval demonstrations
 Failing in that, it was Tn the same tnfor-
 nal way suggestsd that when Admiral
 Evans retired from his command in Asia
 and started to return to the United States on his battleship Kentucky, the Empe- TOT, who was we'll acquainted with him
 would be glad to have him touch at some German seaport.
 Secretary Moody Is extremely desirous of doing anything within reason to show the warmth of friendship which he cher
 ishes towards Germany. and the Presi- dent and Secretary Hay have the same QtobfoeAUOAs AAtCy WchO AOSCAsC@ Nc eAAh&ss no opportunity to reciprocate the many kindly expressions of regard for Amer lea that had come directly from Elm peror William. but circumstances con. splred to make 1t impossible to meet either of the hints thrown out from Germany.
 But the United States Navy Is not tc be unrepresented at Kiel. Following the usual custom. when the warm weather begins in the Mediterranean. the Eu- ropean Squadron will begin slowly to work it's way northward and 1t is calcu-
 lated that 1t will arrive at Kiel in time
 to take its proper place in the celebra- ton.
 This can be done and will be done with out undue interference with the routing movements of the European Squadron and attention is directed to the fact that
 this is the same squadron which is un-
 der orders to be at Marseilles when Pres
 ident Loubet returns from Africa. While the Navy Department is desirous of show ing the grsatest courtesy towards Pres. ident I.oubet, and the people he repre-
 sents, it is only fair in view of the Ger man misconception on the subject tc point out that being only a few hours sail distant from Marseilles a failure on
 the part of the American squadron to
 greet the returning President would have been little less than gross discourtesy

ASKS EARLY ACTION.
Much Depends on Courts Decision
 in Case of Joins.

Washington. April 1s.-The Secretary of the Interior has written a letter to the for early action by the United States Su- preme Court in connection with the case of U. s. Joins. who seeks to secure citi- zenship in the Choctaw and Chickasaw In- dian tribes. He bases his plea on the difii- cuIty of continuing the work of making the rolls preliminary to the allotment in severalty of lands to the Choctaws and Chickasaws. The Secretary says:
 ''The proceedings in question here af- fects the claims of so large a number of people that 1t would seem inadvi9able, fl not unjust. to proceed with work which would be rendered futile by decision of the Supreme Court upholding the conten- tions of the petitioner. If this position be correct, then much of the work of this department must be laid aside until Q final determination of the controversy This will necessarily involve the matter in much confusion and uncertainty and impose on the government large addition al expense"
