Santa Fe Trail Fund.

The following is a statement of
the amount that each district IN
Barton County has contributed to
the Trail fund.
Several districts have failed to
contribute, but their failure is not
due to the unwillingness of the
pupils but to the fact that many of
the teachers have neglected to in
tereSt their pupils in the matter.
Many boys and girls have doubt
less made some little sacrifice in
contributing to this fund and if
so, it shows a spirit of patriotism
that is commendable. In the name
of those who nave the marking of
the Trail in Charge, ! wish to
thank every one of the pupils and
teachers who have contributed to
this fund and to this worthy cause,
and assure them that every cent of
this money will be used in the best
possible manner in the marking
of that historic highway.

HUNGARIA IN
A HULLABAL0O.

Budapest, Hungaria, Feb. 10. =
The Hungarian parliament was dis
solved today by Emperor Franz
Joseph. As a result, civil war
looms upon the horizon, with a
dual monarchy.
Six battallions of infantry, two
squadrons of cavalry and hundreds
of policemen saw that the en-
peror's orders were executed with
out a disturbance.
When the president of the SEN
ate refused to read the emperor'S
notice of dissolution, and adjourn
ed parliament until Wednesday,
and after the deputies had depart
ed the troops entered, and the
emperor's reScript was read to
empty seats.
When the deputies attempt to
return Wednesday they will find
the entrance barred by troops.
The government then will be
carried on by royal decree. This
cannot last, as parliament has re-
fused to vote the budget, and un-
less the army make collections of
taxes fOrcibly no funds can be
raised.
Todays proceedings mark the
turning point in the history of
the Austro-Hupgarian monarchy.
Recognition of the Hungarian
rights and liberties are at the
bottom of the trouble. The specific
point of contest was the proposed
substitution OF Austrian words of
command for Hungarian, in the
Hungarian army.
TOday's action of the emperor
is in absolute disregard of the
national constitution.
