The regular monthly meeting of the

The Committee on gas and oil
prospecting reported progress on
their investigations as to the best
methods and probable cost. 1t was
stated that drilling outfit could be
bought for 2,2OO; that the expense
of drilling would be in the neighbor-
hood of S35 day. The committee
was given further time to procure
more definite data and figures.
The matter of the coming con-
gressional convention was taken up,
and best methods to secure proper
entertainment for the large crowd
that is expected to be in town for at
least two days and one night, on that
occasion, were discussed at some
length. Upon motion the chair
appointed a general committee of
five to have charge of such arrange
ments. said committee being en-
powered to appoint subcommittee

mittee is as follows: c. S. Allison,
E. R. Moses, w. E. Stoke, E. c.

pared to furnish sleeping places, and

Can't Proceed By Injunction.

The supreme court Saturday hand
ed down decision in the William
Estep case, appealed from Wyandotte
county knocking out the clause in the
prohibitory law permitting the closing
of joints by injunction as lnuisances.
1t is heldathat the Hurrell law passed
two years ago repealed the old law.
The nuisance clause has been used
great deal in the closing UP of joints
as it was easy to convict under it.
Now it is no longer a criminal act to
maintain a nuisance if the nuisance
happens to be joint. Judge Fisher
of Wyandotte county held that the
nuisance clause was repealed and the
supreme court Sustains him.

Promotion Certificates.

Promotion certificates have been
sent to all the schools of the county.
These certificates should state what
grade of work, according to the course
of study, the pupil will be able to do
next year. The standing or grade of
the pupil should be recorded on each
certificate and may be determined by
written test, or an estimate based
on daily recitations.
All certificates are to be carefully
preserved by the pupils and presented
to the teacher on entering school next
year. What we expect to accomplish
by this method is more uniformity in
term reports and in records left in the
daily register.
On the extreme right hand of the
page in the daily register following
each pupils name should be written:
Promoted to-Grade.
Term reports are to be filled out in
the same way. This will simplify and
lessen the labor of making the term
report.
Should any teacher fail to receive
these certificates notify the superin-
tendent at once.

Louis p. Frey IS Gone.

After many months of severe physi
cal suffering, borne with that uncom-
planning fortitude which makes the
Kansas citizens as fearless in death
as in life, our old friend, Louie Frey,
has at last passed across the river that
divides this earthly shore and the
mysterious beyond.
Death came on Saturday, March
7th, at about 10 p. M, and the re-
mains were solemnly laid ifi.their last
resting place on Monday afternoon,
the 9th.
/ louis P. Frey came with his estima-
BILE wife from Adams county, Illinois,
in the summer of 1871. They home
steaded the claim, few miles north
west of Great Bend, where the last
breath of life died away and left
eternal stiffness in the once vigorous
frame.
He was born IN Pennsylvania
August II, 1914, and died March Z,
1903. He moved to Adams county,
Illinois, in 1868, and was married to
Miss Kate Grubb of Adams county,
Illinois, January 25, 1870.
Death was. directly due to cancer
of the stomach. After lingering
illness of over two years he at last
succumbs, strong in the faith of the
Promise. He has been a church
member for over 42 years, having
joined at the early age of 16 years.
Allowing wife and one son are left
to mourn his loss; four children having
preceded him to the great beyond.
A large concourse of sorrowing friends
followed the remains to the last rest
ing place, but no word of sympathy
from tongue or pen can give to the
sorrowing ones the comfort that does
the remembrance of the deep abiding
faith in the Promises of God which
extended to the end, and the thought
that he was a friend to all and an
enemy to none. The floral offerings
were numerous and beautiful.
Mr.. Frey was model citizen, sober,
industrious, plain spoken and con-
scientious in all things, and this COM
munity sustains a great loss in. his
death. His life companion can be
comforted in the thought that in all
the long years that they have lived
among our people her husband was
ever pointed out as one of the best
thought of and most reliable citizens
of the county, and his life one well
worthy of emulation.

The Double Seven.

The meeting of the Double Seven
last week, the Sd inst, eat the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Giles on, Forest
avenue, was one of the pleasantest of
the series. The occasion was the
birthday anniversary of Mrs. Giles
and nothing that the best Of caterers
could conceive was too good to grace
the dinner table and cheer the inner
man. All the club members were
present, and Councilman Fred New
combe and wife were guests of the
evening. Properly, this event should
have been written up for last weeks
paper; but William thought Billie had
written it, and Bill thought Will had
written it up; SO, although there was
plenty of ''will'' and all kinds of ''ways"
the notice got lost in the mixup just

The Rural Teacher.

The idea that anyone is competent
to teach a rural school is fast giving
way to the fact that the rural teacher
should be possessed of broader
culture and scholarship than the
grade teacher, because the work of
the rural teacher includes that of a
whole corps of grade teachers.
In teaching, as in everything else,
quality of the work performed is the
basis for compensation. School
boards as rule are business men
and well understand that they can
well afford to pay better salaries for
stronger work. Let our aim be TO
furnish the quality of work required
and demand compensation for the
same.

Cyrus Leland's Soliloquy.

Master of political destinies am II
Jobs, pay and power on my decision
wait,
Copeland's halls walk, penetrate,
Schemes and plots occult and passing
by
Senate and house and caucus, soon
or late
hold the fate of every candidatel
If campaigning, wait; if mending
fences, stop before I go away.
1t is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me 1 nominate
And elect, over every foe
Save death, but they who doubt or
hesitate,
Condemned to~failure and defeat
must go,
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
1 answer not, and work for them no
more.
