The fourth instalimenf Of the 5000

of Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest The fact that
western bank should outbid leading insti-
tutions Of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West Y rapidly gaining

Is to find good channels for the invest

WHY ALL'S WELL IN KANSAS.
II L. Because of Sound Money and the
Protective Policy.

Few people realize how or why the
condition of Kansas is watched with
such solicitude throughout the country
especially in the Western States
The fact is indisputa bic that there is
something about its climate, the mer-
curial disposition of its people and the
conditions of life in Kansas that make
it a sort of barometer for the rest of the
republic. When there is anything seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas it is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her neighbors. When there il q drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be 4 mighty
thirst in all the region west of the Mis-
sissippi. When the rains and sunshine
bless Kansas with bountiful harvests
and the cyclone and grasshopper give her
a wide berth. the fairness is apt to extend
beyond her borders and fill the land with
reason fer rejoicings and content
When Providence frowns on Kansae
the heart of the nation is usually sorrow
full for her-and for itself.
When Providence smiles on Kansas
the rest of rs generally bid au revoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did well.
In opening the Republican campaign at
Marion. Kan, Sept l. to remind his su-
ditors of the change that had come over
their prospects since the days when the
whole land rang with the cry. What's
the matter with kansas?" Happily he

house tops, at least to the telegraph OPP

FARM WAGES.

Bixurss 20 Rates Paid IN EnRfArd
and the Unite . States
The August Labor Gazette, a govern
meas publication issued monthly By the
British Board Of Trade. gives az inter
sstins account of the hzlf-yearly azi-
cultural hirinKs 1t Whitsuntids. 1904. for
the counties Of Cumberland, Westmore-
land and North Lancashire, which affords
an instructive view Of the rstes paid
farm hands in England The Official re-
port prepared for the department states
that ''the supply Of male farm servants
was fairly plentiful, owing partly to
saekness of employment in other indus
tries" but that wages showed a down
ward tendency In the case Of men. but
women were scarce and their wages
we're well maintained"
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per SIX months
with board
Best men $500 20 500 %
Second class men.-......... 300 TO 800
Youths and boys -..---.-..- 300 10 50-o0
Best women --.-.-....... $50 to 800
Second class women and
girls -------- ----.-.-- zvOc 10 oVo
These rates have been slightly increas-
ed in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
of 50 per pound, but they afford a clear
and authoritative exhibit OF what British
farm hands are receiving By which every
intelligent American farm hand can com
part the wages be receives
Without knowing the number Of men
employed in each class and al varyin z
rates therein il is, Of course, impossible
to arrive at an average rate Of compensa-
ton But with 500 per half year for
the highest and $50 for the lowest Of the
second-class men it is evident that the
yearly average for male farm hands ex-
elusive OF youths and boys in Great
Britain cannot be much. If any, above
$50 a year, while the average for wom-
en- would be somewhere around S100.
We have no similar figures for the
United States, bur in a recent bulletin
entitled Wages of Farm Labor in the

SCHOOL MATTERS.
a New Building Needed at townsville
and South Side at Function.

The teachers for the Tunnellon schools
have at last been selected. There was
hitch in the matter owing to the time Of Hal
britier one of the trustees having expired July
Ist and Dr. NJ. -. West was appointed to
the vacancy but failed TO qualify in ne time
specified and was objected to and ruled out
ostensibly on that account by DR.. u. +.
Bone, the member Of the Board Of Education
at Function, but in reality because West Is
a Democrat and DR. Bone aspires to be the
Republican boss at Tunnelton and was OPP
posed TO Cyrus IL. Martin being Principal
of the Schools and when he found West was
for Martin and refused to be dictated to by
Bone. so Of course Halbritter held over
and no appointments has yet been made by
the Board Of Education a meeting was
then held by the old trustees and the follow.
ing teachers elected:
Principal-CYrus IL Martini First Assist
ant--Mrs. Lou Hart; Second Assistant
Miss Ottie West; Primary-Mss Ella Trem-
bly,.
The school is already crowded and in
need of another room and teacher. The
building is already too small and SHOULD
have been larger in the first place An ad-
dition will now have to be built,
On the South Side Of the railroad, which
is in Reno district, the old ramshaekle
school building is hardly At for barn and
no teachers have yet been secured at all.
There are only two rooms anyhow and an
enumeration of over two hundred pupils, so
that Reno should proceed at once to erect
good two story building with about six rooms
and get good corps of teachers and then
enforce the compulsory school law and get
those children into school, as it is a shame
the way the matter IS neglected and some
OF the school officials should be arrested and
hned Tor criminal neglect of importan duties.
AT townsville in this district the people
arc clamoring for new and larger school
building. The present small one is old and
dilaPdated and hardly large enough for one
teacher and country school. The town has
grown so rapidly in the past few years that
at least two teachers are required now, and
in short time three or four will be needed,
so that our Board of Education should be
moving at once towards the erection of a
four-room building for Housewife.

he was being led away TO the nearest tree
The men at first refused to give up their
