MAY TRY 0RATORY.
superintendent Carter Proposes a
County Association.

The 103 country school districts in
Shawnee county may be formed into an
oratorical association and representa-
tives from the different schools VIII
meet in an oratorical contest, similar
to the state contest held by the Kansas
colleges, once year
This is the plan that superintendent
Carter hopes to perfect in Shawnee
county. For several years the graduates
from each of the country schools have
assembled at the Topeka high school
for the graduation exercises and have
then received their diplomas. Many of
the patrons OF the schools object to this
arrangement and they prefer to have
the graduation exercises held at the diff
ferent schools. Those living far from
Topeka object to the journey to attend
the exercises
superintendent Carter may decide to
have the graduation exercises held this
year at the separate schols, instead of
in Topeka. If this is done he viii or
ganize the oratoricaI contest to take the
place of the combined graduation exer-
cises.
Il have not perfected this plan nor
made any suggestions to the teachers
as yet" said superintendent Garter this
morning, 'as it is too late to hold an
oratorical contest this year, but this
can be arranged for next year. It will
be impossible to have all the schools
represented at one contest so there must
be some preliminary contests and then
the winners be brought together for
the final contest. Prizes can be offered
and this can be made an annual fea-
ture.''

LAWSON PARTLY RIGHT.
William G. Rockefeller Admits Over
subscriptions in Amalgamated.

New York, May 23.-William G.
Rockefeller, nephew of John D.
Rockefeller, and who was secretary Of
the Amalgamated Copper company
when its Organiza ton was effected
has admitted that there had been
oversubscription, but he curtly brand
ed Lawson's charges that insiders
used fraud to secure a majority of the
shares as lies"
Lawson is quite right when he
says the stock was oversu bscribed five
tines he said. ct is absolutely false
that it was the insiders who got it.
Lawson is in the habit of exaggeration
and this is an example of his style.
The allOtments were made on a scale
of 30 per cent of the subscriptions.
We made only such adjustments as
were necessary to let US work even
shares. For instance if a man SUBJ
scribed $4,000 or $1,000 worth we
treated him as if he had subscribed
for $4,000.
The company never had anything
to do with the subscription. All we
were interested in was getting the
money and the money was paid into
our treasury. Whatever stock those
who might be called the insiders sub
scribed for was paid for just the same
as any other. The National City bank
had complete charge of the subscrip-
ton and I presume it has the docu-
ments necessary to prove the facts"

ONE MORE DISAGREEMENT.
Jury in District Court Is Making a
Record.

The jury in the district court which
heard the Isenhart will case, failed to
agree. The first ballot taken by the
jury Saturday morning was 10 to in
favor of finding that Judge Isenhart
was not Of sound mind when he made
the will and that he was unduly infu-
enced by his sister, Mrs. Florence
Douglass, and her attorney. D. T.
Gregg. The last ballot taken by the
jury before finally being discharged
Monday afternoon by Judge Dana was
10 to 2.
The district court docket is now well
laden with cases in which the juries
failed to agree. The present jury
holds the record for disagreements,
having failed to agree in the trial of
Cal Heck, charged with highway rob-
berry upon W. F. Kuntz, failing to
agree in the Isenhart will case, failing
to agree in the MCGEE vs. Rost suit
and falling to agree in the suit of
Alexander vs.. The National Cereal
company. The jury was also standing
six to six this morning after being out
twenty-four hours in the suit of W. L.
Harder against the Topeka Brick COM
pany for $5,59S for the loss of a hand
while working at the brick yards.

WANTS NEW CHURCH.
John D. Rockefeller Ready to Donate
100000

New York, May 23.-John D. Rock
efeller wants to pay half the cost Of
an entirely new structure for the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church, but there is
some doubt about his offer being ac-
cepted. If the 100000 he would
give is rejected, it will not be because
it is tainted" but because Mr.. Rookie
Teller is determined on a new church,
while the sentimentalists in the con-
gregation think the old one. which
has been condemned, should be re-
paired and preserved for its associa-
tons. Mr.. Rockefeller does not want
a new site. It is his idea to tear
down the condemned structure, and
by purchasing additional ground make
it one of the finest churches of the
city. It is stated that Mr.. Rockefeller
has employed an architect to prepare
plans for such a structure, to cost
100000. and that he is willing to con-
tribute one-half of this amount
The Fifth Avenue Baptist church,
which is known as the Rockefeller
church, is one of the richest in the
city. Several conferences were held

At a meeting held at Waveland

final arrangements for the consolida-

southern part of Shawnee county. the
committee reporting from the different

In Pleasant Valley, Fountain Ridge

AIR IN ! etEeplNo-Room.
All Night Frssh Air Should Flow
Through Apartment and How
to Keep on Draft.


The lack Of fresh air in sleeping
room Is responsible for many Of the
moraing bad feelings. The close. un-
pleasant taste In the mouth. the un-
comfortable feeling about the head,
the languor' of the whole body, are
often the result of poorly ventilated
sleeping rooms. Free ventilation Is
not always possible In apartments.
When one has a large house. with
airy chambers, 1t Is easy to ventilate
properly: but in small bedrooms 1t Is
not always possible to admit fresh air
Ut night without some one taking cold.
Yet one must have fresh air In the
sleeping room. One woman who has
three children occupying one of the
rooias of her tiny apartment always
airs the rooms after the children are
In bed and the last thing before she
retires. She covers the children up
snugly, opens the windows. and, while
they are raised, shakes out the clothes
that have been worn during the day
and hangs them where they will air
thoroughly In readiness for the morn.
Ing. The air in the room Is changed
and freshened before she closes the
windows.
This is good plan. but, of course.
1t is only poor substitute for the
pure air that ought to be coming into
the room all night. There Is a sim
pie arrangement by which this can be
procured. A board about five inches
high should be made to ~. into the
window. Its length must be just the
width of the window, and 1t should
be hinged in the middle that it may
be the more easily taken out and in.
1t must be fitted into the, window cas-
ing just below the bottom of the sash.
The window Is then closed as far as
possible with the board in. This leaves
space between the upper and lower
sash by which the fresh air is ad.
mitted in an indirect way.-Success
