DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LAW
Four Different Dates for Kansas Schoo
Meetings Now.

Because the last legislature tinkered
with the school laws of the state, and
rearranged and shifted the date for
school meetings, the state superintend-
ent has been obliged to issue circular
to the county superintendent of the
state to elucidate the work of the law
makers.
Under the laws there are four differ
ent dates for school meetings, each kind
of district having different date. The
circular issued today by the state
superintendent says:
LAS some uncertainty exists as to the
effect of the legislation of 1907 on the
date of the annual school meeting, 1
submit below an Interpretation of the
provisions of the law on that subject:
The date of the annual school meet
ing in consolidated school districts is
tie second Wednesday in June. (See
Sec. 121 of the School Laws of 1869
I'm union or graded school districts
organized under section 345 to section
355 of the School Laws of 1905, the date
of the annual meeting is the last Wed
nesday in June, if the union district
comprises two or more existing school
districts; but if the union district now
comprises but one school district, the
date of the annual meeting is the third
Thursday in July. (See Chap. 331 of the
Laws of 1907.)
In all other school districts including
cities of the third class not comprised
in the two classes mentioned above, the
date of the annual meeting is the third
Thursday in July"

GOOD SHOW AT THE NOVELTY.
Five Acts Are on the Bill for This
Week.

An entertaining show is provided by
the bill of acts which S. r. Wells. the
manager, has secured for the Novelty
theater this week, and which were re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause by
the large audiences which attend the
performances yesterday afternoon and
last night. And the show is an I'M
usually long one. there being five acts
besides the illustrated song, the NOV
ing pictures and the music by the
Orchestra The acts are of good
variety and there is not one which is
not worth seeing and hearing.
Miss Belle Belmont, perhaps, is the
hit of the bill She is a good singer
of coon songs and has a lot of brand
new stories which she tells with eff
feet A comedy novelty act, which
finishes with a really good boxing
match, is presented by Dacey and
Chase, during the course of which Mr..
Chase makes n fine sand picture.
Polly and Ethel Hazel put on a
laughable sketch entitled I'm a Pink
Tea" Miss Ethel Hazel is a diminu-
tive girl with quite remarkabl
voice. Eddie Dolan, an Irish mono
logist, is a clever comedian and tells
some good stories and sings some
funny songs. Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Hart
close the bill with a lively comedy
sketch For an illustrated song Mr..
f. N. Irwin sings Bunker HiT' and
an interesting series of moving pic
lures is shown.

representatives of Kansas, and a MEM
Der of the board of managers of the
Hutchinson reformatory, changed his
residence this week from Dighton Lane
county. where he has lived for over 20
years. to Hutchinson, where he expects
to take to the practice of law. Dighton
did not afford big enough field for Mr..
Simmons. Mr.. Simmons removal to
Hutchinson will leave Lane county
lature. But this is not likely to make
any difference, for there is no extra ses-
sion in sight.
The talk about 7. A Noftzger, senator
from Harper county, making a similar
move seems to be still going on, but Mr..
Noftzger still lives at Harper. The re-
port is that Noftzger will move from
Anthony to Wichita, and Noftzger de-
MES it.
A Wichita man who was in Topeka a
few days ago says that Mr.. Noftzger
will move to Wichita. and will retire
from politics and devote his attention to
the law business. Senator Noftzger was
one whose attitude on pending measures
in the senate at the last session aroused
considerable criticism among some of
his constituents.
A travelling man who makes many
towns in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado,
said today in speaking of political con-
ditions: I'm spite of the criticisms
which have been made the sentiment in
favor of Roosevelt in Kansas, Missouri
and Colorado seems to be almost unan-
imous- Ninety-nine people out of a hun
dred say they are for Roosevelt, and
this is true of Democrats as well as Re-
publicans.''

HAS BUSINESS AT HOME.
Howard Gould Gives Up Customary
Summer Trip to Europe.

New York, June 10.-Howard Gould
has decided not to go abroad this year.
Instead, he will remain in New York for
the legal battle with his wife, formerly
Miss Katherine Clemmons, the actress,
who is suing him for separation and ali
mony, which she wants fixed at $3.50, 900
year.
This is the first summer Howard Gould
will have spent in New York since he
was a youth. Always before he has
either cruised in northern and Euro
pean waters, or has sought the cool
breezes of the Switzerland mountains.
Mr.. Gould has been taking an active
part in the legal fight ever since it be-
gan, a month ago. There have been few
days when he has not visited the office
of his lawyer, Delaney Nicol. Every
move from the Howard Gould side of
the controversy is made only after Mr.
Gould has sanctioned it.
L am becoming a good lawyer" he
said last week to one of his friends.
The phase of the legal battle between
the Howard Goulds just now which is
interesting the husband most is the
amount of alimony he will be obliged to
pay. He and his attorneys are prepar-
ing a statement of his wealth, knowing
that it will be demanded by the court,
or by a referee, should one be appointed
after the motion by Mrs. Gould's attor-
neys for alimony and attorneys fees.
Mr.. Gould has announced that his an
nual income is about $500, 900 from a for
tune OF $12, 900, 900. Mrs. Gould says that
she can prove that her husband owns
and has an interest in properties which
bring his income up to more than 81, 000,-
O00 Upon this basis Mrs. Gould has
decided to ask the court to allow her
$3.50, 900 a year alimony Cases will be
which courts have allowed a wife one
fourth of her husbands income.
