of pneumonia. The remains were

The first news received by the
relatives of Mr.. Conyers in Sedg-
wick county of his critical illness
came in telegram to his father
Monday. In response to this
message the latter started for

but did not arrive there until af
ter the formers death.
The remains of the deceased

change in the services was announ

Commissioner. stand Pat.

&phAitSsiohtTs otihu Iat.
The action of the board of
county commissioners last Mon
day in deciding to allow the tax
levy for the current year to stand
as originally made was, VIC be
lieve, the only action that could
have been legally taken. 1t is
true that in county affairs the
commissioners are nearly all-pow-
erful; the courts recognize this
fact, and they rarely ever over
rule the acts of county board.
Had the com missioners decided
Monday to rescind part of the
tax levy, the courts might have
upheld them in their action, al
though in the opinion of many
eminent lawyers that action would
have been illegal.
Those taxpayers, who petition
ed the commissioners to rescind a
part of the tax levy, did not base
their petition upon the illegality
of the levy; the legality Of
the levy as made by
the board of commissioners as it
existed in November, 1902, has
not bceu questioned. The levy
was made in regular form and
those persons who asked that it
be changed simply did so upon
the grounds that the taxes to be
raised by the levy were excessive
and unnecessary. These grounds
were excellent ones upon which
to base their petition, and we be-
lievc that the commissioners
would have acted in accordance
with the petition had it been le-
gal for them to do SO.
The commissioners realized that
they had been asked to pursue a
course for which they could find
no warrant in law; in other words
they had been asked to commit an
illegal act. This they did not feel
justified in doing, hence they de-
cided at their meeting Monday to
allow the levy to stand as origl-
nally made; in other words they
dedided to stand pat.
AS we said in the beginning we
believe the commissioners could
not legally have done otherwise
than they did in deciding to allow
the present tax levy to stand as
made. The time at which the
levy could be changed had passed
If not before, that time certainly
passed when the board of commits
sioners that made the levy went
out of existence and a new board
was organized. The new board
could not rescind the legally per-
formed acts of the old board.
Hence they could not legally
tamper with the tax levy made,
in accordance with the law, by
their predecessors, even though
they should wish to comply with
the req quest of the taxpayers and
do so.

The talent to be heard this year
from the platform of the Winfield
Chautauqua Assembly June 10th to

opening lecture by Captain Richmond

Santiago campaign, is fitting begin
ming OF the session. Captain Hobson
was great favorite of the Assembly
last year, and his engagement for re-
turn date this year lnsures to all who
were so unfortunate as not to hear him
an opportunity to hear an extraordinary
