The Lakeyiew school closed last
Friday. the 18th. An entertain
ment was given at the school
house in the evening, which was

The Lakeview NJ. L. church is
to be dedicated next Sunday. the
2eth. The Methodist people have
good church building and a
roomy parsonage at this place and
they are justly proud of them.

mary for the church two years ago

sence, returned in time to assist
in its dedication.
Notwithstanding this is the busy
season with the farmer, the road
supervisor is making his annual
visit So much heavy freighting
necessitates a great deal OF road
work, and we believe nc objection
would be made by the taxpayers
should the county commissioners
make make a slight increase in the
levy for the road and bridge fund.
A stranger notices nothing quicker
than good roads or bad roads, as
the case may be.

rell, Mcmillan, Morrow, Pestana,
Porter, Simons, Vincent and Wulfe-
lSuhler-l4.
Absentecs-Allen, Cubbison, Henley,

The bill which will enable flood
sufferers to secure relief was intro.
duced in the house by Mr.. Leland. 1t
reads:
That in addition to the powers al
ready given by law, the board of coun'
ty commissioners of each county shall
have power at any meeting in case OF
great loss or damage to life or property,
to assist in burying the dead, caring
for the wounded, rendering temporary
aid to the distressed; preventing dis
ease and pestilence and cleaning up
debris. and to issue warrants of the
county therefor, not exceeding per
cent of the taxable property OF the
county and to levy tax to pay such
warrants.
Francis of Allen introduced joint
resolution providing that when state
warrants are stamped mot paid for
want of funds" they shall be taken and
carried by the school fund. 1t passed
both branches and will become law.
These warrants have been carried by
the banks in the past. They draw q
ner cent interest. In the future, they
will only draw per cent.

Relief For Flood Losses; May Be
Met By The Counties.
AID FROM STATE DEFEATED.
or The Fifty Bills Enacted Into Laws
Only Two or Them We're
General Bills.

Topeka, June 27.--The special session
of the legislature wound up its labors
without voting any state aid to Hood
sufferers.
OF the fifty bills enacted into law
only two are general bills. One is to
remit taxes on property destroyed by
the flood, the other is 10 extend the
authority of county commissioners in
cases of dire calamity.
The other bills are local, to enable
counties and cities to take care of the
trouble growing out of the flood, prom
inent among which is the rebuilding OF
bridges.
Among the bills passed was one APP
propriating $4,000 for a survey to
straighten the Neosho river. The state
will employ an engineer to survey the
river.
1t is doubtful If the state aid bill
would have passed if ali had been
there, as the absentees were tied up
with promise to the governor.
Those who voted to give state aid
were: Buschow, Caldwell; CLANCY,
Conrad; Finley, Gabriale, Householder,

Frauds BY Seed Men.

Washington, June 30. - Secretary
Wilson admits that the department is
making an investigation and says:
"We have known of these things in the
department for some time, and we in
tend to probe them to the bottom. We
believe that we have held up enough
to reimburse the government for any
losses that may have accrued. The
case is in the hands of the attorney of
the department of agriculture, and it
is pending before the court of claims
1t is claimed that the government has
been defrauded out of thousands of
dollars in seed ontracts.

Washington. June 25.-Monday, No
vember 0, is the date tentatively set by
the president for the assembling of
congress in extra session for action by
the house on the Cuban treaty and the
discussion of such matters as may be
submitted. This will give congress
nearly month to work in before the
date to the regular session of that
body. The first Monday in December,
the time fixed by law for regular ses-
sions to begin, falls on December {
this year. By beginning on November
there is believed to be plenty of time
to dispose of the Cuban treaty matter.
