lectures to the people Of Lawrence,

For years there has been a demand

go for rest when they are in the CITY
Every day one can see weary mothers,
sitting on boxes or in stairways, rest

Refinery Bonds Delay-Won's Be
Taken by School Fund.

The state refinery bonds were not
issued today after all. All of the bids
received specified that the bids were
conditional upon the bonds being
either approved by the bidders attor-
neys or tested in the supreme court.
The bids were therefore all rejected,
and Warden Jewett and Treasurer
Kelly refused to sisn the bonds SO as
to have their validity inme diately test
ed IN the courts. 1t is stated that At
tOrney General Coleman will begin
nandamus proceedings in the SUI
preme court against the warden and
treasurer to compel them to sign the
bonds The supreme court will be
asked to advance the case to as early
a date as possible, in order to get a
speedy decision.
There was no frantic rush on the
part of 1.-The people" to buy the bonds
after all. The bids all came from
spectators and banks. most of them
outside the state. There were only
eight bids. and seven of them wanted
the entire issue. The First National
bank of Hutchinson would have been
eontented with 100000 of the bonds
The bids were not made public.
It was Governor Hoch's idea to dis
tribute the bonds among the people Of
the state as much as possible, and for
that reason he advocated the popular
subscription idea. He thought this
would give the people of the state a
personal interest in the refinery But
the popular subscription idea does not
seem to have been popular The bids
came from New York, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Kansas City Topeka, Hutch
inson and Wichita and they were all
from banks and spectators.
The State Journal suggested that
the bonds be sold to the state school
fund. Then the state would own its
own bonds. it would pay interest to
itself simply taking it out of one fund
and putting it in another, and it
would have made no difference wheth-
er the bonds were tested or not. No
one would have had any interest in
/ having the bonds decreed invalid, for
/ if they were invalid the legislature
would have to make good the face of
them to the school fund anyway.
It seems, however. that the powers
/ that be in charge of the school fund
/ do not want the state bonds. although
1 they have heretofore insisted that ii
was extremely difficult to get good in
vestments for the fund That was the
excuse given for investing in the in
/ iquitOus Comanche county bonds. Yet
/ here are $4,000 of state bonds which
the school fund commissioners evil
IDENTIFY do not want. If they were pur-
/ chased the commission would have
just that much less money to invest in
| outside loans.

A Kiowa Ban Dress.

L. c. Reisner of Lancaster, Pa. is
the owner Of an Indian woman's buck
skin dress trimmed with elk teeth,
which is believed to be one of the
most valuable garments of this sort
now in existence. Over 1000 elk tusks
cover this squaw dress, and most of
them are good specimens. They
represent. of course the death of not
less than $50 bull elks. 1t is not
known where all the elk were obtain
ed. The garment was finished in
1874. and was used as a state robe
for the wife of Little Boy, chief of the
Kiowa tribe. It became one Of the
state robes of that people. and after
the death OF the chiefs wife was worn
by Kfowa Anna, reigning belle of the
tribe. 1t was lost by the Kiowas in a
szirmish with another tribe. Chief
Lone Wolf, its next owner. gave it to
his niece. Ida. Lone Wolf. who sold it
three years ago to an Indian collector,
who in turn sold it to Mr. Reisner.

RUSH TO PAY DOG TAX.

If you neglected to pay that dog
tax on the dog yesterday, you will
have to pay for the neglect. This

for a male dog and SIS for a female
you viii now have to pay 50 for the
male and 81 for females. Procrastina-
ton IS the thief of dollars.
There was a grand final rush to
come under the wire yesterday. There
hundred dogs were paid for. and the
halls all day long were fairly alive
with them trotting at the heels of
their masters When the office closed
last night the license fee upon 1926
dogs had been paid. Of this number
1887 were males and IS females. The
total revenue represented amounts to
S1,677. Last year on the evening of
March 81 S1.725 had been collected as
license upon 1866 dogs.

in medical circles that has been exc
perienced for many years
Peruna has been making cures of
chronic diseases of the stomach in all
parts of the United States for many
years.
A great many men and women know
by experience the virtues of Peruna in
all catarrhal affections of the stomach
and digestive organs.
But, of course, it does not happen
every day that so prominent a case as
Mr.. Lockhart's comes to public no
tice.
Proof of Pse-ru-aa's Merit.
The fact that he had tried so many
physicians-the fact that he had
spared no pains nor expense-had
been examined by experts-had been
treated by specialists-had passed
through all kinds of experimentation
and manipulation, and yet received no
benefit-and then. after all this had
happened, he quietly begins to take
Peruna and finds prompt relief and
permanent cure-these facts are much
too startling and important to escape
the notice of the ever vigilent public
press.
