AFTER ]. M. KNIGHT.
First National Bank Would

An effort is being made by the First
National bank of Topeka to force J. M.
Knight formerly an undertaken in To-
peka, into bankruptcy. The claim of
the bank against Knight is for 81, 500
upon personal note given by him and
now over due. The petition asking for
the appointment of receiver was filed
IN the United States district court sew
eral Gays ago. Service upon Knight
was secured only yesterday j. G.
Slonecker, referee in bankruptcy has
appointed John w. Newell as receiver
Tor knights property, but knight has
refused to turn over his goods into New
CHS hands. An order upon knight to
compel him to appear and show cause
why he sould not turn over his property
to the receiver has been placed in New
els hands, but knight is apparently
avoiding personal service and Is be
lieved to have left town

adjustment at the corner of Seventh
and Quincy streets to Fred NJ Stone

complaining against him, he is charged
with transferring his property to a

His place will be taken by Plat, who
is a promising man, but new to the

Millice still has trouble with his arm.
which was crippled by the breaking of
a blood vessel near the elbow, but he
will be in Saturdays game Mehl was
also laid up in practice Thursday after
noon, but the report that he broke rib
is denied. He will be in the game to-
morrow.
Washburn is not nearly so confident of
winning the game Is it was early in the
season. Manhattan is known to be
stronger this year than ever 1t has a
heavier team than K. L. and that's say
ing a lot G. o. DietZ, VINO umpired the
Kansas Washburn game, is coach at Man
haitian, and he is known to be good one
There seems to be no reason why he
should not have as strong a team as that
of the State university WaShburn will
have to depend on its speed to win, and
the chances are now that the field will be
dry, thus giving the Topeka boys better
show.
A large delegation of Washburn students
will accompany. the team It is expected
that about 1G0 students and down town
people will make the trip. it is the only
kansas game which Washburn viii play
outside of Topeka this season.

WILL GET OVER $4,000
More Money for Country Schools
This Year.

The school taxes to be raised by the
country school districts in Shawnee
county this year will be 51,629.12. The
taxes raised last year in the 103 school
districts amounted to $50, 1870. The
difference is but $1.169.42, although in
90 districts the tax levy is lower, in SO
districts. it is the same. and in 81 dis
tricts is higher than last year.
The greatest difference in school
funds will come from the tax paid by
the railroads into the county school
fund, which is prorated among the dis
tricts. The railroads paid into the
Shawnee county school fund last year
Sc, 7s0S5, and this year will pay $14,
A02.e1, an increase of $7.621.76.
This amounts raised for country
schools by the different townships will

The trouble over the appointment of

veloped into a question of politics. 1t
is claimed that George Bushong, who
was named by County Superintendent
Wright and whom the county commits
sioners refused to confirm, is a Demo-

ty board is not satisfied with him
superintendent Wright presented the
name of Bushong to the board. Wright
interpreted the law to read that the
board should appoint whoever he named.
The board took the position that the
law was not valid Since then Judge
Simon, of Fort Scott. has decided that
the law is valid. Now the commission

HILLS CALLED DOWN.
Auditor Wells Insists on an Itemized
Account.

State Auditor Wells has refused to
pay a miscellaneous bill turned in
against the state by Superintendent Hill
lis, of the Soldiers Orphans home at
Atchison. 1t is to cover small amounts
which Superintendent Hills has paid
out of his own pocket. but for which he
has presented no receipts to the state
auditor.
The law provides that persons havicS
claims against the state must dIe
vouchers therefor with the state auditor,
but in the case of small bills for tele-
phone and telegraph charges, and like
expenditures, the heads of the state IN
stitutions generally pay the cash and
take a receipt. The official paying the
bills then put in voucher at the state
auditors Office. covering all the expendi-
lures in single blanket voucher.
These vouchers in some instances
grew rather large, and Auditor Wells
made a ruling few weeks ago that
the receipts must be attached to such
vouchers in the future. All the other
heads of state institutions have done
his. but superintendent Hills has re-
fused Auditor Wells received a let
ter from him today in which ne says
that such receipts are the personal
property of the superintendent, and are
ali he has to show that the bills have
been paid and he refuses to turn them
over to the auditor. Auditor Wells says

time there was some buying of these
issues by western houses. Brokers were
