WILL MEET IN TOPEKA.
Superintendent Fairchild Calls County
Superintendents.

E. I. Fairchild, states superintendent
OF pubic instruction, has decided to call
state meeting of the los county super
intendents of Kansas, to be held in To-
peka.
This action is taken as a result of
favorable replies which Mr.. Fairchild
has received from letters which he sent
TO the superintendent suggesting the
plan. Seventy-six of the superintend-
ents of the state agreed to come, and
endorsed the plan heartily.
Mr.. Fairchild says: Il definitely de-
termined upon the matter, after reading
the letters of response which received.
SoD-es were from other superintendent.
who have been in the harness for some
time They pointed out work which we
might do, and came right forward with
full sanction OF the plan.
But the letters from the new super
intendents show the value which we viii
get from forming an association of
county superintendent and having an
annual meeting. These write me that
they welcome a chance of meeting with
other superintendent from the state
and are thus given a chance to find onC
things, how other people do them and
the advance methods of school govern
ment.
Our big problem is the rural school
today and the Superintendent of schools
in sparsely settled counties has the big
task ahead of him. Our universities.
high schools and city schools are simply
advanced to a splendid place. Even our
village schools are so equipped and pre-
pared as to surprise the average person
But that is not true of the rural
schools. That is a problem that has to
be fought out and right away.
Western Kansas deserves recognition
along this line. Only can we solve the
problems by a joint action Of all the
county superintendent. They cannot
get together as they should at the State
Teachers association meetings. There
is too much else to do; too many things
to engage their attention. By this plan
1 am positive and those who have VIII,
ten me also feel that way, that we VIII
accomplish many things that Kansas
schools need"

AN INDIAN AND HIS MONEY.
Police Court Records Prove That They
Are Soon Parted.

Today's police court text: AN Indian
and his money are soon parted Five
noble reds were separated from FIVE each
in police court this morning, but they
had been separatedAfrom larger sum
per head before reaching police court.
The noble aborigine is easy money for
the seller of burning waters also for the
sellers of chances on any kind of skin
game. TIE recent distribution of ready
cash on the reserve is a good thing for
the underworld of Topeka. To be sure,
the city will get small slice, thereof as
plain and trimmed drunk fines, but the
Indian can spend $50 on one bottle of
white horse, if properly manipulated
Last eve Mr.. England, the newest po-
liceman, collected the bunch. One Ben
Sho-bye came first. toting four cold
ones in a sack, and followed by Messrs.
Martin Blueback, Harry Benson, Joe
Wa-paw-san, who was first booked as
John Doe because he was too badly
petrified to answer anything but
"aughnh." and Mr.. Seller La Claire.
These followed Mr.. Sho-bye because he
carried the cold ones and didn't even
know they were arrested.
Martin Blueback was in Friday night.
He had $40 then. and a search of his per-
son raised only 50 last night But he
says he has more in the Holton bank.
One of the Indians, who had already
spent his government donation, borrow
ed $50 from a Holton bank to continue
the vacation.

81 10000 SQUARE FIT. OF GLASS.
American Florists Have q Hard Prob
lem to Insure Against Hail.

1t will be news to most people that
America pays $4,000, 900 every year for
cut flowers, says the Washington Post
The demand increases every year so
that supplies have to be drawn from
far over seas-the bulb farms of Holland
aid the Riviera, the lily fields of the
Bermudas and Japan, and even the re-
mote orchid habitats of Venezuela,
Brazil and Colombia.
But most of our flowers are home
grown under glass, of which there is
in this country at present nearly 81, 000,-
900 square feet. New York comes first,
with l 400 large esta blishments and A.
900, 900 square feet; Illinois is next, with
$50 establishments. and 4.670,000 square
feet Pennsylvania, Massa chusetts, Ohio,
and New Jersey follow in the order
named.
Roses are first favorites. Carnations
come next, and then follow violets,
chrysanthemums and miscellaneous
blooms, including lilies. There are today
not less than 11,000 establishments in the
United States growing and selling flow
ers and plants, and the problem of pro-
tecting their enormous acreage Of glass
is so serious that no ordinary insurance
company could be found to take the
risk against hail.
Accordingly the florists of America re-
solved upon private mutual concern,
and incorporated in 1887 the Florists
Hail association under the laws of New
CARNATIONS was started in Germany, the
second in this country, and the third in
England. Not one of them, however. Is
a money-making concern, but exists
simply and solely to protect members
from actual loss.
Already something like H. 900 claims
have been paid by the American asso-
iation representing more than $102, 900.
There will sometimes be ten or dozen
disastrous hailstorms in a season. The
membership fee is 81 for every person
1nsrring 1000 square feet of glass
and 50 cents for each additional thou
sand.
Members pay to the treasurer, on re-
hitting the membership fee, 8 cents for
every hundred square feet of single
thick glass and cents for each hundred
square feet of double thick glass to be
insured. Any risk upon which three or
more consecutive losses have been paid
is considered a hazardous risk" and 10
per cent is added to the assessment.
For every square foot of single thick
glass broken by hail a member receives
cents, and cents for the double thick
glass The secretary must be notified
of a loss within twenty-five days, the
proof being the growers affidavit and
that of two disinterested persons.
The florists of the United States, how
ever, are evidently not quite satisfied
even with their mutual insurance socie-
w. for they have more than once
suggested establishing a glass factory
of their own, so enormous is the de-
mand.

The Comine of Little joe

On the street in front of the place they

pany them in the lower regions. He went,
and tried to pass the tip, but without
success. He could not reach the buzz

was herded away from the magic but

been trimmed to a fare-you-we and
therefore having no further use for the
game, dropped out, and taking the
door before he could slam it, the officers
dropped in.

OBSTACLE REMOVED.
Negotiation of Tariff Treaty With
! France Can Now Proceed.

Paris, July 29.-What has been char
acterized as the obstacle in the way of
the continuation of negotiations be-
tween France and the United States in
regard to the tariff, has been removed
for France has notified the United
States that she has extended from
August 1, to October l, 1907. the de-
cree providing for the collection of the
minimum duty on coffee brought in
from Porto Rico.
France makes clear that she consid-
ers this extension purely an act of
courtesy and good will and an evil
dence of her earnest hope that the
negotiations upon the propositions sub
rnitted through NJ Jusserand, the
French ambassador at Washington, will
result in an agreement. The negotia-
lions will now proceed between Ambas-
sador White and the foreign office.

WILL DRAW A BIG HOUSE.
Nelson Is Tipped as the Winner Over
Jimmy Britt.

San Francisco, Cal, July 29.-It be-
gins to look as if Jimmy Britt and
Battling Nelson would draw a much
bigger house than had been at first
expected in their Wednesday night
Fight. Despite the fact that Britt has
apparently gone way back, and that
Nelson's present ability is dubious,
there is a great liking for both of
them in hearts of the San Francisco
fight fans. Either of them can al
ways draw a big crowd on the coast,
and their third meeting will probably
get a load of money.
Nelson is tipped as a winner, and
there is said to be almost no Britt
money in sight. Jimmy has taken
things too easy for year or so, and is
thought to have little ability remain
ing.
