The institution has been placed TEN

the period from the first of the year t.
the first of the present month, and the
internal revenue officials have closed the
cigar department and have impounded
all the raw and manufactured material.
While the discovery of shortages in the
cigar factory are acknowledged, the full
extent of this will not be known until
the experts shall have completed then
investigation. 1t is, however, stated by
United States officials that so far at
least so 900 cigars are unaccounted for,

might have approved thus removing
competition to a certain extent
The question recently arose in Phil
lips county and County Superintendent
Arnold wrote to State Superintendent
Dayhoff asking about it. MIR. Dayhoff,
in turn, referred the question to the at
torney generals department, where As
sistant Attorney General Dawson an
swered the question in the negative,
holding that desks and furniture do not
come under the head of school appara-

probability, he says, is due to the re-
constructing of the creed of his denom-
nation, which took place last May. Cal
vanistic and Armenian lines which have
so long kept this and the Cumberland
Presbyterian churches separated, have
now, he says, been efTaced and at pres
ent no distinctions other than ceremonial
separate the two great religious orders
that began as one in the days of Crom-
we'll.
Another STEP said DIR. Coyle that
our church took at the last general as
sem'bly in May and one that tends
toward the unity idea is to emphasize
Christian education. With intellectual
development many sordid distinctions
that tend to keep churches separated
win be obliterated.
Our church now has an educational
committee ard upon it has been imposed
the duty of raising $12 900, 00G for educa =
tional purposes. Most of this money will
be spent upon schools in the west, for
our institutions of learning in the east
are in good shape financially"

Last Tuesday was Mr.. Dale's birth
day He was born September 8, 1882,
near Bennington, Kas. The family came
to Topeka when he was 4 years of age.
He received his preparatory education
in New Jersey. near Princeton, but all
his collegiate work has been done in
Washburn college. He would have
graduated next June. He was an ac-
tive worker in the Second Presbyterian
church There are two other children
in the family, the Rev. Otis G.. Dale, of
Stanley. Wis, and Miss Miriam Dale,
of Topeka.
Clovis Dale was one of the most pop
ular and active students at Washburn.
He had a genial bearing which made
him a favorite with all his schoolmates.
and his rank as student was high.
He had won several oratorical contests
while in Washburn, and served a year
successfully as manager of the Wash
burn Weekly Review At the close of
last year he was elected manager of the
football team. which is probably con-
sdered the most important office in the
gift of the student body. 1t is due
greatly to his wise leadership that
Washburn has such bright prospects
on the football field this fall. He was
instrumental in securing the services of
Coach Kennedy. and in preparing the
excellent schedule of games which the
Washburn team will play. At the time
he was taken sick he was expecting to
leave within a day or two for Colorado
to arrange a schedule of games for the
Washburn team in that state. 1t is
probable that Hugh Mcfarland. who
has been assisting in the management
of the team will be chosen by the
Washburn Athletic board to succeed
Mr.. Dale as manager. Mr. Mcfarland
has been acting manager during Mr..
Dale's sickness.
The funeral arrangements have not
been made, and will not be until Mr..
T. &c ord from and it is
known whether or not he will come to
Topeka. The body will be inferred at
the old home of the family in Ben
nington, Kansas.

H. ]. BONE is SICK.
Governors Secretary Quite Ill
at Ashland.

Harry Bone. secretary to Governor
Bailey is quite i'll at Ashland. He went
there a week ago to attend district
court and was taken i'll At first his
physicians were afraid it would develop
into typhoid fever, but now 1t is be-
lieved that it is malaria.
Mr. Bone has not been well for a year
and a half. More than year ago he
was taken sick while in Topeka and was
confined in Christ hospital for several
weeks, and during a part of the time
his condition was dangerous He was a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for attorney general at the time
and recovered Just in time to attend the
Wichita convention, but he has never
fully regained his strength. He spent
several weeks in Colorado this summer,
but even since his return e-has not
been very strong. and this probably
gave malaria hold on him.
