TREASURER'S REPORT
Financial Condition Of the Mari.
on Graded School District.

To the TaxpayeIssof Marion Ora.
ded School District:
respectfully submit the fol-
lowing summary of the financial
condition of said district:
We have paid off and burned
Four Thousand Dollars of the
bonds of the District, The origi-
nal issue was Eight Thousand
Dollars. You will thus see that
we have paid one-half of the prin-
cipal of our bonded debt, and the
interest on the remainder is paid
up to and including Dec. l, 1902,
the date last due. On the 1st day
of June, 1903, we will be ready to
pay $500 more on the principal
and:possibly $1,000. We confident
ly expect with three more levies,
including the one for 1903, due in
May, to be able to liquidate the
entire Indebtedness of the district,
as the cost of improvements, iron
fence, walks, desks, furniture, etc.
is all paid.
1t is proper that the taxpayers
should understand that the State
public funds only pays our corps
of teachers for 81 months. las we
have 9 months tor school, the sal
aries of the teachers for 4 2-3
months is paid out of the money
collected for taxes and tuition Of
pupils inside the district. This
number of teachers is rendered
necessary by the fact that we have
three years course in the High
School free to every pupil in the
district.
The interest on our bonds is
now only 5 per cent. The books
are open for the inspection of any
taxpay or who desires a more de-
tailed report of the expenditures.
Very respectfully,
Il. A. HAYNES, Treas.
Marion Graded School Dist.

blame the Republicans for trying

FUNSTON'S VIEWS.
The General Files Report Re-
garding His Department.

Washington, Oct. 17-General Fred
erick Funston, in his report on the de-
pertinent of the Columbia gives a gem
eFal review of the conditions existing
in the department which includes the
Pacific northwest and Alaska AS the
result of personal tour of Alaska dur
ing the summer General Funston sug-
gests that a different station be found
for the troops at Valdez, because a
mountain two thousand feet high lies
just south of the post which shuts off
the sun for large portion of the day.
At Fort Egbert, which is near the
Arctic circle, he found that the officers
had a cultivated garden in which they
raised their own vegeta bies. He says
that the question of maintaining all
the military posts in Alaska is one
requiring more knowledge of the
policy and intentions of the govern
ment than is Vouchsafed a department
commander before it can be intelligent
ly dealt WITH At four of the posts on
the military telegraph line all the
available force is needed to maintain
the line. He recommends that Fort
Davis near Nome be abandoned as mil
itary authority is not NEEDED there. The
people of the community numbering
about 10000, are not turbulent and
most of them in case of necessity could
be called upon to support the civil au-
thorities. General Funston speaks in
high terms of the signal corps which
has constructed the military telegraph
line in Alaska.
General Funston recommends that a
large tract of land at American Lake,
near Tacoma, Wash, be acquired for
the purpose of a drill ground and camp
for concentration in case Of war

WATERMAN HERE.

head of the movement in Kansas City,
Kan, to have a number of public Off
Gals prosecuted for boodling, is in To-
peka today to see Governor Bailey and
Attorney General Coleman about the
appointment of an assistant attorney
general to prosecute the boodlers down
there.
Mr. Coleman is now in Marysyille as
sisting in the prosecution of the Pusch
manslaughter case, into which he was
called by the county attorney of Mar
shall county, and no action will be ia
ken until Mr.. Coleman returns to To-
peka next week
Il want to consult with the attorney
general before 1 make any decision in
this matter" said Governor Bailey to-
Gay. ''Of course. ] have power to in
struGt the attorney general to take a
hand in any case in which the state is
interested, but we are somewhat short
on finances for such purposes, and if we
go into everything of the kind we might
run out of attorney generals. Mr.. Cole
man is helping in case in Marshall

Workmen at Port Arthur Have
Been Discharged.
Exodus from Other Parts of
Manchuria Continues.
NOT MUCH PROGRESS.
Negotiations Between Russia
and Japan Show Little Result.
Settlement or Fight Expected
by December.

London, Oct. ia dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram company from Toxic.
says:
THE japanese workmen at the Port
Arthur docks have been discharged. The
exodus from other parts of Manchuria
continues
There is no excitement at Toxic. The
people have confidence in the govern
ment's policy
Berlin. Oct. 17.-The negotiations be-
tween Japan and Russia, according to
the view OF the situation taken here, are
not making progress. Each side, it ap-
pears from official information, will not
Weld on the essential propositions. Japan
persists in requiring an agreement that
shall now limit their respective spheres
of supremacy and declines to consent 10
the general policy of drift" under
which Russian influence will, the Japa-
nese say, steadily bear upon Korea and
edge forward until the time is ripe for
acquiring a part of. or the whole coun-
try. Japan, as previously cabled from
here is determined, according to the
German view, TO have a settlement with
Russia by treaty where to they both
must abide, or else-and the threat is
ever in the near background-hostili
will begin. This is the danger in plain
view.
Inc japanese government seemingly
makes no particular concealment from
the diplomatic corps at Pekin of this
attitude, one impression being that
Japan is merely playing diplomatic
game and another that the government
is in deadly earnest. Russia's ever in
creasing military preparations in the
far east and Japan's nearly completed
equipments are regarded as pointing
either to a settlement before December
or to hostilities. Japan's order for war
material was placed in Germany year
ago. and since then has all been deliV
cred or is aloat. Four Japanese Off
GERS who have been buying war ma
teriaI and supervising artillery con-
struction at Essen left Germany for
Japan last Tuesday.
Yokohama. Oct. IA cabinet min
lister says that Japan, agreeing with the
Marquis Ito, while stipulating the in
tegrity of Korean and Chinese SOW
ereignty. makes no point of the mill
tary evacuation OF Manchuria, thus
simplifying the negotiations. The bel
licose rumOrs continue, but the reports
of Russian aggression in Korea are
proving to have been exaggerated.

THERE WAS NO FRICTION.
Wayne MacVeagh Discusses Work
of The Hague Tribunal.

New York. Oct. I'M. MaeVeagh re-
Piled n part today to a published dis
patch from Washington, alleging that
while at The Hague, he wrote a letter
to the executive council of the tribunal
in which he said that if the members
Of the court had been lawyers instead of
diplomats they would have been better
qualified to decide the question on its
merits
Mr.. MacVeagh said:
There is n.5 truth in the story that
there was friction. The sitting of the
tribunal was agreeable throughout and
the arbitrators were most courteous. We
differed before the meeting of the tri-
bunal as to some matters of procedure,
but there was no unpleasantness-
Speaking of the sessions of the tribu-
nal he said:
1t is impossible to predict what will
be the outcome. The counsel for the
other nations will make their argu-
ments for the bloekading nations
Great Britain, Germany and Italy-and
after that six more arguments will be
made for our side L hope that Judge
Penfield, the solicitor for the state de-
partment, will have a chance to argue.
After all have been heard the tribunal
will consider the case"

PENNY IS FIRM.
Saws He Will Continue War on
Cnchurchly Music.

Prof. George B. Penny announces in
todaSs State Journal continuation of
his war on "Unchurchly, unchristian
and wholly inartistic'' church music.
This announcement is made in connec-
ton with a paid advertisement for the
opening of the pipe organ department Of
the college.
1t is very evident that Prof. Penny
is standing firm by his contention that
there is much poor music in the church
hymn books. He will eliminate such
music from the course of study which
he offers to pipe organ pupils.
The advertisement written by Prof
Penny reads as follows:
The course in hymnology is founded
upon the German Choral. the English
hymns, and the best only Of American
composition. This department will be
uncomprcmising in its denunciation of
all so-called religious music which is
unchurchly, unchristian and wholly in
artistic"
The new organ is a two-manual in
strument and is located in the rooms of
the Topeka Choral society in the Sc
curity building. 1t is to be used chiefly
for the practice of pupils of this depart
mont

LOOKS MORE wARL1xE.
Serious Aspect of Eastern Trouble
Has Been Renewed.

Paris, Oct. 17.-Although the officials
do not take an alarmist view of the
Russo Japanese situation, their latest
advices indicate renewal of it's some
what serious aspect The Russian adj
miralty has prepared for a concentra-
tion Of warships on the Mediterranean
station and at other European ports.
The reason for this is understood to be
the presence of Japanese warships in
European ports, including two ships
which are about completed at British
ship yards. The japanese crew of one
of the latter ships has already arrived,
preparatory to taking over the vessel.
The exchange of diplomatic notes
continues at Toxic without definite re-
suits. The Japanese press, which for
q time was restrained by the govern
ment, has again adopted a belligerent
attitude.
