This splendid showing means much
for Abilene. 1t insures buildings that
will be credit to the city. About
$4,000 Of the amount will be used
for new high school; about $4,000
for a west side ward building and
$4,000 for improvements, sewerage,
etc., in Lincoln and Garfield buildings.
No action has been taken regarding
sites for the new building though sew.
eral are being considered. One pro.
ject is to clean up the city hall block
and put the high school and . $4,000
Carnegie library there. Another to
vacate the block west Of the city hall
as far south as the Upshaw building
and put the high school there, letting
the city hall block be a park with
only the hall and library on it. Then
there is talk OF extending the Garfield
grounds eastward across Spruce to
the alley or to Buckeye and placing
the high s,hoOl there. These are
only suggestions made on the outside
and the board will consider the matter
carefully. The West side location
will be west Of the creek but further
than that nothing has been settled.
The city hall will not be used for a
high school after this year. Prof.
Anderson whose Central Kansas Busi-
ness College is growing stands ready
to buy the building. 81 have made

New High School
Building for Abilene.

block west Of the high school was
talked about but no figures have been
sscured'in it The committee favor
ed the ground east Of the Garfield
school, vacating the north end oi
Spruce and taking the block east as far
as the alley. This property is owned
by G. @. Towner and the committee
stated that he positively refuses to
place any valuation or price on the
property and will not sell. Or course
condemnation and appraisement are
possible but the board prefers to
settle the matter peaceAbly. How
ever, 1t realizes that it is building for
the next Fifty years and wants to do
what is best for the city and district.
The west side committee reported
that 1t has considered three locations:
West OF j. NJ. Brewers between First
and Second street, facing 1st street;
on J. Snider's property west Of A. G.
ROmig's facing Srd street and opposite
F. G. Puliver's; on the Eddy land west
Of Rogers avenue between Second and
First streets. No recommendation
was made and the committee is yet
working on the matter.
The board took some steps toward
getting plans and specifications.
About 26 letters have already come
here regarding the bonds apd plenty
of purchasers will want them. Some
have suggested that q popular issue
in denominations Of 800 might all be
sold in the city. The rate Of interest,
time Of payment, etc., have not been
decided.

By common consent the most re-
liable census ever taken in China was
that of 1912. This gives the figures
as more than 100000. In 1868
the population was estimated at
nearly 408, 100000; but in 1881 1t
had fallen to 380,000,O0O, the great
Tanning rebellion, in which so many
millions of people lost their lives,
being one of the principal causes I'M
doubtedly for this great decline
Travellers, missionaries and others
who have visited the region devastat-
ed at the time of the TAPPING rebel
lion express the opinion that the loss
of life during that great CONFUSION
has generally been estimated at too
low a figure, and it is a question
also whether the terrible FAMINE

loss of more lives than it is usually

west destroyed more lives than II IS

IT MUST Be BRYAN, SAY CONGRESSMAN
Members See in Him the Next Democratic Nominee for
the Presidency Southern Candidate Not Seriously
Considered What Is Said in Washington

Democratic members have come to
congress this winter more positively
convinced than ever before that Will
liam J. Bryan must be their nominee
for president two years hence, says
a Washington dispatch. They say
that everything is tending toward
the selection of Mr. Bryan.
In this connection they point to
the Roosevelt message to congress.
The belief is general among them
that the message is of a character
calculated to help both the nomina-
ton and election of Bryan.
Senators Tillman, Dubois, Blackburn
and Stone of Missouri, have talked
to your correspondent in that strain.

delegations in the house pretty gen
orally take the same view.

HOW CONGRESSMEN VOTED
TOMMY HARDWICK WANTED TO
RAISE HIS OWN SALARY.

None of the Other Georgia Members
Went on Record for Increasing
Pay. Judge Griggs Was Paired.
On the proposition to increase the
salary of congressman from $4,000
to $500 per annum the Georgia del
egation voted as follows: Yea,
Hardwick; nay, Adamson, Bartlett,
Bell, Brantley, Howard, Lee Lewis,
Oyerstreet. Congressman Livingston
answered present, = but did not vote.
Griggs was paired for the day with
Southwick, so did not vote. The mo-
ton to increase the salary $4,000
was defeated by the following vote:
Yeas, loo; nays, 1873. This was the
motion on which the house voted
''On and after March 4, 1909, the
compensation of senators, representa-
tives in congress- delegates from ter
ritories, and resident commissioner
from Porto Rico shall be at the rate
of $500 per annum, and in lieu of
mileage now authorized by law, they
shall each be allowed and paid act
ual individual travelling expenses
from their homes to the seat of gov
eminent and return, by the most di-
rect route of the house to which such
senator, representative, delegate or
resident commissioner belongs, to be
certified to under his hand to the
disbursing officer and filed as a
voucher.
Mr. Keifer-I desire Mr.. Speak
er, to ask the gentleman whether the
purpose of this amendment is to take
away, in case the salary is increased
to $500, all pay for clerks, as we'll?
Mr. Littauer-Decidedly not.
was about to state that the purpose
of this amendment is to raise the
salary of senators, representatives
and delegates from $4,000 to $500
year, and not to interfere with the
clerical service allowed nor the sta
tionery allowance made, but only to
wipe out the present provision in
reference to mileage and in place
thereof to pay actual expenses in
travelling to and from each session
of congress.
Under the new law the clerk of
each congressman will be allowed
81 500 per annum. | believe the sta
tiOnery allowance for each congress-
man is $500 per annum, and the con-
gressmen are allowed mileage of 10
cents per mile from their homes to
the seat of government and return
by the most direct route of usual
travel.

OPENED WITH PRAYER.
Wealthy Massachusetts Town Has
Unique Election Features.

The story of an election day at
Brookline, Mass, which is the
wealthiest town per capita in Ameri-
ca, is rather interesting.
Called to order at $50 a. M, the
moderator was chosen, the prayer
offered, the tellers and ballot clerks
sworn and two or three votes on spec
ial business taken before II minutes
of seven, when the polls were declar-
ed open. The town hall itself was
fitted up as a polling place, with a
rallied off space, 80 compartments for
the convenience of voters, four bal
lot boxes and four entrances to the
same, assigned alphabetically.
At the election thirty-five town Of
ficers were chosen and the question
of license voted on. The result was
announced at 6:24 in the evening
Having disposed of the election the
town meeting came to order again at
1880 D. M, chose the rest of the of
ficers, accepted the jury list, author
lied the town treasurer to borrow
100000, sealed up the check lists
and ballot boxes and tally sheets and
adjourned at 7:40!
Two weeks later the town meeting
reconvened and voted on every item
of the years budget, from 100000
for schools to $500 for grading and
planting lot
There are about 4,400 registered
voters in Brookline, and the first i'm
preston of an outsider is that town
meeting of 1000 citizens would be
a rather unwieldy body. AS a mat
ter of fact the floor of the town hall
seats only about 1000 persons and
there is generally room and to spare
for all who come.
Of course voters come and go
when there is an election as they
do at other polling places so that
there are cast about $500 ballots
during the day. But unless there is
question of unusual interest to
come up the town meetings them
selves are attended by not more than
from 100 to 600 voters.

tor, and there does not seem to be
any probability of organized eastern
opposition to the Nebraskan.
CulberSOn is Mentioned.
Southerners, like Jim Griggs, of
Georgia, climb up on a high place
periodically and shout for a southern
man, but it is usually just one shout,
which means little. Last spring they
talked of backing Bailey, of Texas,
but developments in Texas have
caused them to take up the name
of Culberson, Bailey's colleague in
the senate.
The political keynote of Roose-
velt's message is said here to be his
recommendation of Inheritance and
income taxes These constitute both
democratic and Bryan doctrine. For
proposing to do far less than Roose-
welt propounds Bryan was de-
nounced in his two campaigns as be-
ing a radical.
The presidents message takes the
edge from such criticism.
