Peter Maus. was called before
Justice JennisOn Friday to show cause
why his son, Edward, was not attend.
ing school regularly. 1t was claimed
that the boy was not. able to attend
school all the. time on account Of
sickness, and the matter was adjusted.
The truant officer, G. W. Thatcher.
has been making a pretty thorough
canvass of the city to find out about
children who do. not attend school,
and there will probably be more cases
of.the same sort.

NO MORE CUSTER SUITS.
That's Cofeel

not, We are unable to guess. but
the attorney generals office has
given it out that there will be no
more custer proceedings started
at present. The Office seems to
think that those already started
will have a salutary effect on the
mayors now under suspicion.
They may be right.
There are some phases of these
custer suits that we don't like.
We believe that the only way this
prohibitory law. which has been
for. years night mare to every
city and county official, and every
governor, will ever reach the re-
submission stage, is for the law to
be strictly enforced. Without
going into details or argument we
believe the best way to control
this traffic is by local option and
high license. What we object to
in these custer suits is this. In
Great Bend, and in other towns
where proceedings are about to be
or have been started, the city ad.
ministration is running the saloon
business along the lines that a
majority of the people of the
towns want. We know that is the
case here, because the elections
have been on that issue and as be-
ing the better way to handle
the question. We further. know
that there never was a time
when the, saloons here we're
as, we'll controlled as they are
right now. This being the case,
and the mayor and city authori
ties doing the business as. it is
wanted by the majority, they
should not be put to the expense
and trouble of custer proceedings.
If the Governor and the attorney
general want the practice discon-
tinued and the law. strictly en-
forced, the officials should be
notified, and then. if they still con-
tinue the practice, custer proceed
ings would be. in order: Again,
the action of the city authorities
does not prevent the county au-
thorities from enforcing the law,
and why not bring proceedings
against the sheriff and county at
torney also?. They can do bust
ness if they wish, as there is. no
Eone who will doubt their ability
to get plenty of evidence. Again,
the proceedings should be handled
AGAINST all open towns, and not
only certain. ones, That was
where the governor got it in the
neck. He tried to enfol ce the..law
before the election in spots only.
If we are going to have this law
enforced, let US have it all over,
and not piece meal. II the en-
forcement will be detrimental to
a town, let all towns suffer alike.

iedge.that shirks his. duty whC
makes the most trouble. and it il
the same in the church and il
society in general.
1t is probable that the new STATE
'treasurerswilf not be Obliged t.
give bond for the..faithful perform
.auee of. his duties until the
legislature amends the law on this
subject. The old law requiring
treasurer to give bond was re-
pealed when the new depository
J.; law was enacted two years ago,
The new law made only one refer
ence to giving a bond and in thai
section it said. Within twenty
days after the taxing effect Of thi!
act the state treasurer shall exc.
cute a bond in an amount to bt
named by the governor. The
next treasurer cannot be affected
by that provision and so it is pro-
bable the legislature will have tt
amend the law and provide for al
adequate bond.

Boy Accidentally shot.
A boy by the name OF Herbert Abel who
lives at S05 North Twenty-ninth street shot
himself through the foot at a. m. yes
terday. He was handling a S2-caliber re-
volver In a careless manner when IL was
discharged and the bullet penetrated the
instep. DR.. Kelly was called and treated
the wound and took the boy home in his
carriage. The accident occurred IN a small
shack. which a number OF boys have
erected in John Sections yard, at Twenty
sixth and H streets. This place Is said TO
be a rendezvous for about fifteen boys who
have given the police some trouble by their
Nick Carter propensities. They use the
shack as an arsenal and have a startling
collection Of artillery. Cards and dice
are nightly resorted 10. II is asserted. until
the attention OF the police has been d.
rected 70 the matter. Ofieer Ringer ex-
amined the place yesterday after the &C
cidental shooting took place. II Is likely
that Mr.. Sexton viii be asked 10 prevent
the boys from putting the shack 20 such
uses as they have made OF it in the past.

Paving Case on Trial.

prising nearly thirty volumes. Il required
a second trip to get all OF the records de-
sired. The case is likely TO last several

entirely abandoned for the rest OF the year
at least. II is rumored that some seusa-
