HOP TEA ORDINANCE.
Suit to Test It's Validity Being Tried
Today.

The first skirmish in the attack on the
Topeka anti-hop tea ordinance was made
before Judge Hazen in the district court
this morning. G. c. Clemens led the at
lacking party and City Attorney Spencer
attempted a. defense. Mr.. Spencer decided
have to cali on Judge T. F. Carver, who
drew the ordinance. to bring up the re-
serves.
The question of the validity of the ordi-
nance came up in the case against P.
court Plamondon was convicted of hav-
ing sold hop tea He was fined so and
given a sentence of 80 days in jail. He
appealed to the district court.
The attaek on the ordinance is made on
the ground that it is void for the reason
that it is unreasonable and ousde the
power of the city council to pass ordi-
nances regulating soft drinks. 1t is also
commended that the maximum penalty for
each offense of 800 and three months in
Jail is too severe.

the track entirely rebuilt
The track was plowed deep and the
dirt removed and the old foundation re-
moved and a new foundation of straw
and light soil was put in to give plenty
of elasticity to the surface. On top of
the thick layer of straw was placed the
dirt to make the surface of the track.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS.
Some of Them Are Being Held and
Others Adjourn.

This is the day set by the new law
passed by the last legislature for the
meeting OF all the country school
boards for the purpose of electing off
GERS and making the tax levy for school
purposes for the coming year in the 1O3
school districts.
The law also provides that the board
of county commissioners shall begin
sitting as a board of equalization on
June 6 and continue ten days or more,
and the board according to law is still
in session and will be for several days.
The school boards can not very well
make the school tax levies until they
receive from the county clerk a state
ment of the assessed valuations in
their school districts. The county clerk
can not make this report until after the
board of equalization has completed its
session.
Some of the country school district
boards will meet today and will elect
officers and maybe try and guess at
what the levy should be. Others will
adjourn until some future date.
