Uniform Examinations.

The plan for uniform grading in all
the rural schools of Kansas will be
started by the state superintendent at
once and every two months thereaf-
ter all the pupils in country schools
will be required to take similar exam
nations. This plan was one worked
out by the county superintendent at
their meeting at Tope11a in August.
Uniform examinations was one of the
main topics of discussion and as the
county superintendent were practi-
cally unanimous in favor of the plan
Mr.. Fairchild decided to try it. The
questions sent out are based on the
work supposed to be done in each
school according to the course of study
sent out some time ago. The Ques-
lions are similar, but not so hard as
those sent out for the teachers ex-
animation. Questions are provided for
every study in the state schools. ne
sets of questions were sent to the
county superintendent and each
school teacher will be given a copy
and will conduct the examinations on
the last school days of the month.

For bikes AIono the Neosho.

Every county in Kansas through
which the Neosho river flows sent
delegates to the river drainage meet
ing at Humboldt There were 40 dele
gates. A permanent organization was
formed with DR.. Barker of Chanute as
president and S. J. Stewart of Hum
boldt as secretary. A committee of
one from each county was chosen to
gather information and contrive means
of controlling the floods of the Neosho
in pursuance with the plans suggested
by Engineer J. o. Wright, who was in
charge of the river survey last year.
1t is the desire of the association to
secure immediate action in every
township along the river and build a
dixie along the entire length of the
stream.

Under Specialists Care-Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

when my daughter was baby she
had a breaking out behind the ears.
The doctor said that she would out
grow it, and it did get somewhat bet
ter until she was about fifteen years
old, and after that she could get moth
ing that would drive it away. She was
always applying something in the way
of salves. 1t troubled her behind the
knees, opposite the elbows, back of
the neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That was
about three years ago. She took treat
ment with a specialist and seemed to
get worse all the time We were then
advised to try the Cuticura Remedies.

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMoR.
Pithy Remarks from One of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera-
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling it's value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning a laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it will be to live it down
when you are older.-Puck.

The Schlitz Brewing company of
Milwaukee has surrendered to the or
der of custer from the state OF Kan
sas made against it by the supreme
court The brewing company paid
$4,000 into the court recently, and
formally stipulated to remove all of
its personal property from the state
and sell its real estate. With the sur
render of the Schlitz company, 10 Of
the Is brewing companies proceeded
against by the attorney general have
accepted the order of custer. The
Tempt and Goetz companies are still
out From these IS companies, the
three receivers, T. F. Carver, C. H
Whitcomb and s. H. Allen, have each
received a total of $3.50 as fees, or
a grand joint total for the three of
$26,250. Each brewing company had
a slight additional sum to pay as court
costs and minor expenses attendant
to settling up the case. This sum ran
from $50 o $500 in different instances.
1t can be safely reckoned that in ac-
tual financial payments to the SUI
preme court these Is companies have
paid something like $4,000. Their
next task will be to take their per-
sonal property out of the state and
sell the real estate.

DUO up FORGOTTEN CHAPTER.

George w. Martin, secretary of the
state historical society, has issued an
address which should be read in every
public school in Kansas and have a
place in every Kansan's home. Mr.
Martin says there is lost or forgotten
chapter of Kansas history, and he has
dug it up in this address and put it on
record in justice to the state and it's
first settlers. He says the Kansas peo-
pie have put in their time abusing
Jim Lane, Charles Robinson and John
Brown until the present generation
has lost the beginning, while over
the line in Missouri they have pub
1ished histories, biographies and novels
and painted great pictures, with vaude-
villes on the road, lauding to the skies
the Quantrells, the Youngers and the
Jameses. In his addresses Mr.. Martin

souri,, tending to show the existence
of a combination to control milling
conditions has been prepared by the
attorney generals office at Topeka and
will be filed in Sedgewick county in

Obliged to Let Opportunity Pass.
A story of domestic hard luck, told
by Conner Davies in the Concordia
Kansan: Zone cannot tell just where
all his friends are. Now, here comes
a man who has great admiration for
our business capacity, and is dead
anxious to have us in on the ground
floor of big mining deal in Colorado.
Our friend lives in Denver, and has
fine Autographed stationery. He is go
ing to let US into the deal If we only
will hurry up and send our money,
at one cent share for stock of a
par value of one dollar a share. Our
friend seems to be mighty good man,
as he writes SO frankly and honestly,
and he assures us that the stock which
he offers to sell US, $4,000 worth for
$50, will soon be worth as many mill
lions, and will pay handsome dividends
right away. We want to sell our
Kansas quarter section farm to put
into this thing with our Denver
friend, but the party of the first part
in the Davies household refuses to
sign the deed to the farm for such a
purpose. That's just the way-when a
man has an opportunity to become a
millionaire he is thwarted in his pur-
pose by the whims of a woman"

Land Case Decided.

The Hapgood-Berry land case has
been decided in favor of John ]. Ber-
ry of Maron by the United states cir
cult court of appeals at st. Paul. Ber-
ry lives in Marion and Charles H.
Hapgood lives in Alton, Ill. Hapgood
and Berry owned land in various parts
of Kansas and Hapgood appointed
Berry his agent for the sale of part of
this land. The suit arose over the
division of the profits from the sales
of the lands, which were located in
Western Kansas and which had in
creased greatly in value Berry con-
tended that he had an agreement with
Hapgood by which he was to receive
one-half the profits from the lands.
The suit was tried in the United
States circuit court here and Judge
Pollock decided in favor of Berry 1t
was then taken to the court of ap-
peals in st. Paul and there the de-
cided, Berry will receive $4,000 as
his share of the profits and Hapgood
must pay the costs in the case, which
now amount to large sum.
