NO USE FOR BROKERS.
State Seems to Get Along Without
Bond Dealers

Out of half million dollars worth
of bonds purchased by the state school
fund commissioners for the state since
January 1, only a few minor issues
have been purchased through bond
brokers. k4AAs
F. The townships. cities, counties and
schoot districts are finding out that
they can save money by, handling their
own bond sales. and they are coming
direct to the school fund commissions
ers to, do their business. This is hard
on the bond brokers. but it is money
in the pockets of the corporate bodies
issuing the bonds. In some of the re-
funding deals which have been put
through by bond brokers' the broker
has cleaned UP profits aggregating up
wards of 100000.
There are now pending before the
board a number of offers of bonds,
most of which will be either accepted
or rejected at the next meeting. One
issue of $4,000 worth of Topeka
board of education refunding bonds is
offered to the board 1t is doubtful
whether the board has enough funds
on hands to- take care of such a big
issue.
Among other offers pending are the
following:
City of Phnhpsburg, Phillips county,
$500 school bonds.
bonds, to build a steel bridge at Kins-
ley.
RedmSV1ll6, Sn1In county, SoOV
school house bonds.
Belleville. board of education $1O.-
600 school house bonds.
Smith Center. $1,000 school house
Giasco, Cloud county, $1,000 school
0 City Of Kingman. $4,000 water
works extension bonds.
District So. Rocks county, $500
school house bonds
The state auditor today registered
$4,000 worth of Barber county rail-
road aid bonds. The day of the rail-
road aid bond in Kansas has almost
gone by, and these are the first bonds
of that nature to be registered for
the comfy in exchange for $4,000
worth of stock in the Denver, Kansas
& Gulf railway. which has been COM
pleted for a distance of As miles from
Kiowa to Belvidere. The bonds bear
8 per cent interest and run for 70
years They are considered very good
security, and the high rate OF interest
makes them a very desirable bond

MAY CHANGE TUITION!
Washburn Enthusiasts Have Plan to
Help Athletics.

It is not unlikely that another raise
will be made in the tuition at Wash
burn college which will take effect
next year. This ~raise, however, will
be but a small one. Of about two or
three dollars per year and will be set
aside by the trustees for the purpose
of maintaining Washburn college ath-
letfcs on a paying basis.
This is a plan which is. now being
discussed by the students and the
ested in athletics especially 1t has not
vet been discussed by the faculty. The
agitation which was begun several
weeks ago is now rounding into definite
the students who are largely interest
ed in the matter to have petition in
circulation among the students in
short time asking the trustees of the
college to make the raise and then set
the additional funds received this man
ner apart Tor the use of the Athletic
association for the college. The atti-
tude of the trustees in regard to this
matter is not as vet known as none of
the members of the board have been
approached on the question, but it is
thought that if the students are any
where nearly unanimous in regard to
this question the trustees will see no
particular objection to the additional
tuition.
This additional tuition would all be
payable at the beginning of the school
over to the athletic treasury. In ex-
change for the additional expense upon
the student body the athletic associa-
ton would then give season ticket to
each student in school and all students
would be admitted free to every ath-
letic contest. This appropriation would
cover all forms Of athletics and if it
amounted to but two dollars addition
al it would bring about $1,000 into the
athletic treasury every year, which
would insure enough financial backing
every year to put athletics at Wash
burn on a paying basis. For several
years. i'll fact nearly ever since the col
lege has engaged extsI siYely in ath-
letics. all sports have been financial
losses to the school. At the present
time the athletic association of the
debt With the support to be derived
from this source together with the
funds received from outside patrons of
the game. which in football especially
Washburn would always be in a very
f1ourishing condition and the school
would be able TO compete with any
other school i'll the west. In addition
more students would be drawn to the
college.
This system is not an experiment as
1T has been tried in several other
schools md has met with pronounced
somewhat similar to this has been es-
tablishei at St. Mary's college, and
although ST. Malys Is but a small
town the school has facilities which
are the equal of those of most any
other school in this section of the coun-
try At Belcit college in Wisconsin this
system has been IN vogue for some time
and has met with. pronounced success
and has put athletics on a strong basis.
1t is towards this end that the students
of Washburn are working and it is to
be hoped that for the interests of the
athletics of the school that their am
billions will be attained.

HARVESTER TRUST THREAT.
May Leave Kansas If We Don't Let 1t
Alone.

The harvester trust is said to be try
ing to escape prosecution under the
state antitrust laws by a new dodge.
1t is threatening to move away from
the state and sell no more machinery
or harvester supplies in Kansas, unless
the attorney general drops the prosecu-
Iion which he has commenced.
OF course there is not much doubt
that this talk stirred up by the har-
vester people is a bluff, and there is
also little Coubt but what the attorney
general will call the bluff and proceed
with the prosecution of the suit. Some
of the farmers of the state, however,
are said to be worried for fear the
trust viii pull cut and leave them
without any place to purchase haryes-
ter machinery. The trust controls the
Tnanufa cture of most of the well known
brands of farming implements.
However. there are plenty of small
and aggressive independent concerns
which would move into Kansas in a
hurry if the trust should abandon the
field and the trust would never sur
render this block of its most valuable
territory to the independent concerns
without q tremendous struggle.
Attorney General Jackson is said to
have received information direct from
the head officials of the harvester trust
that the concern does not intend to
leave the state, whatever the outcome
of the suit against it.

PATRoLN1AN MAZE LET OUT.
He Was Found Too Close to Raynor
Joint.

Jacob Maze a patrolman who was let
out with many others when the admin
iStration changed, and then taken back
again on account of the dearth of COM
petent men, has been discharged sec
ond time. This time it is probable that
he will not be reinstated.
When Chief Eaton and his braves
raided Frank Raynor's open air joint
last Sunday, Sergeant Ross went out to
telephone for the wagon, and found
Maze in the near vicinity. Although
they did not quite prove it, the SUPPOSE
ton that he had been in the joint abb
sorbing beer was taken for granted, and
this coupled with the fact that he was
Sc eral blocks off his beat, was suffi-
cient grounds for his discharge. Maze
had an alibi, but the chief would not
accept it. He had been instructed to
find a Russian who lived in that locali-
ty. and says that while searching for
said Russian, he saw the crowd around
the Joint and approached to see what
was going on.
Even before Maze's name was re-
moved from the roll at roll call last
evening, half a dozen applicants for his
job had put in an appearance to claim
the place.

SPLENDID TO USE.

This is the month to rid the
system of Blood disorders of
all kinds, of which Rheuma-
tism is the most prevalent
symptom and hardest to over
come during the winter
months. when the Kidneys
have failed to filter out the
uric acid and other waste
matter.
A well known authority
writes that the worst forms of
Rheumatism. Blood disorders,
also Kidney and Bladder weak
ness are often readily relieved
and prevented during an entire
year by taking for a little
while one teaspoonful of the
following mixture after meals
and at bedtime, viz:
Fluid Extract Dandelion
one-half ounce, Compound
Kargon once ounce, Com
pound Syrup Sarsa parilla
three ounces.
A local druggist states that
these are harmless ingredients,
which any good prescription
pharmacy can supply and any
one can easily mix them at
home by shaking in a bottle
1t is said by many of the old
folks that the above mixture, if
taken during this month, will
add years to life and prevent
many a sick and miserable day
during the year.

SAW HIS OPPORTUNITY.
The Reporter Seized 1t and Got His
Real Start In Life.

All the city travelling public loves
strap hanger because it has fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
of how Frank Vanderlip, the banker,
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. It happened when Vanderlip
was a reporter on Chicago newspa-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then, as now, was al
most impossible. Charles L. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct Of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea of the financial condition of the
properties.
The time for the annual meeting Of
the stockholders of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr..
Yerkes had ratified off the reports in
the usual undecipherable corporation
way, and no one knew what was do
ing. SO Vanderlip planned a coup.
He bought a share Of stock, which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before he became
a newspaper man. When Mr.. YerkeS
sailed into his breezy explanation of
finances the young reporter took down
every thing he said. Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase, and it was this:
''The passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses, but the strap
hangers pay your dividends"
The next day the sentence topped
vanderlip's account of the meeting.
1t aroused a storm Of discussion, for 1t
laid bare some of the traction methods;
also it got Vanderlip raise in salary
and a promotion.-Saturday Evening

Ways of the Men Who Lose Their All
In Wall Street

Ways of the Men Who Lose Their All
In Wall Street.
What becomes of the men who lose
in Wall street They are seldom heard
of. The visitor to New York gets the
notion that the gay crowd of men at
the Waldorf-the uptown street y
comprises them ALL But this crowd
is altogether misrepresentation and has
no true sign value, says a writer on
Wall street in the New Broadway Mag
azine
You can retain your equilibrium east
ly in watching them by remembering
that Runner of New Britain is hid
ing somewhere, a fugitive from JUS
tice; that Jumper of Milwaukee is in
prison: that there are many other men
who went down hard with big crash
es, and that for every one of the big
men there are 10000 little men whose
losses are smaller, but not whit less
fatal
You would fnd some of them tonight
in New York, if you knew in what
window to look, figuring anxiously and
endlessly, looking over insurance pa
Ders to see if further loans are adj
missible
Their wives are sewing; their daugh-
tiers are studying stenography. You
will find others hanging about hotel
Hobbies, and the moment you catch
their eye or grip their hands you know
that they are nervous, distraught,
broke, restless-typical Wall street vic
tins.
The others, professionals, parasites,
satellites, winners, you will find in the
cafes and hotel restaurants, making
up large part Of the crowds at Sher-
rvs and Delmonico's, Martins and
Rector's, the Waldorf, Manhattan, AS
tor, st. Regis and Holland House.
Wall street by day demands the Great
White Way at night From the mo-
ment the market opens till its close the
game is a fast and furious one Of
sharp trickery, clever lodging, raillery,
bluffing, hypocrisy, lying.
Nerves are constantly tense; the
brain must be clear and quick at ev
cry move. Successful lying uses up
gray matter, and the flash and festivf-
ty of the Tenderloin at night are just
unnatural enough to fit in and offer
the kind of recreation desired.
