Treasurer reflect j. G. Bull, who had not
had his bond completed at the time of
his death, will soon be over. Many of
Mr.. Ebersole's friends have urged him
to continue in the office, which the
law provides he may do, while others
have urged him to give up the office
because his health is not what it once
was.
Mr.. Ebersole, having had the office
one year more than his two terms, by
reason of the biennial election law,
and on account of his health, feels it
his duty to relinquish the office. He
has written out his resignation and left
the same with his attorney, but it
NAV not be presented to the board for
some days yet. For the position, there
are many applicants, among some OF
the very best accountants in the

Lawyers and others are getting quite
a bit of amusement out of the latest
chapter in the literature Of exposure in
Golfers Weekly, in which the methods
of one of the Dies Moines lawyers is
shown to fine advantage. The chapter
is a sort of aftermath Of q year and
a half Of exposure OF poor medicines
and uuack healero, and 1t deals with
the way In which innumerable lawyers
and pretended lawyers have tried to
work a game Of bluff on the publishers
on behalf of their vulnerable clients. It
will be recalled that one Of the 264 ex-
posure cases by Golfers related to DR..
Coffee, of this city, an extensive adver-
tiser, who has grown immensely veal
thy in few years. He has a magnifi
cent home on Grand avenue, and is a
leader in exclusive social circles. He
is on intimate terms with Secretary
Shaw, and it is at his home that the
family of the secretary Of the treasury
has often been entertained while in Des
Moines on visits. It appears that when
the Collier article appeared it was duly
announced that Golfers would be
promptly sued for damages by the out
ragged doctor. Instead a pamphlet was
issued denouncing the Weekly and en-
gaging in counter exposure. Now Col

Testinu Foods Now.

The state board of health, which
has charge of the enforcement of the
pure food and drug laws of Kansas
has began to take samples of food
stuffs offered for sale in the state,
and these will be sent to the state
university for ANALYSIS. This is the
first general work of this kind which
the board has undertaken. When the
work was organized it was decided to
give dealers until October 1 to dis
pose of all stock which did not ex-
actly conform to the pure food regu-
lations. The new stock has been put
on the shelves in most instances and
the analysis to be made will be to see
that the goods come up to the regu-
lations and the claims of the manu-
facturers. The meats will be tested
for preservatives and the groceries
for authorizations.

These monuments were made of Okla

money to buy and have the monu-
ments dressed. The Atchison, Topeka

placed in the proper positions. The

So much complaint has been made
to State Superintendent Fairchild
about teachers who sign up contracts
and then jump them to accept some
other position. that he has about de-
cided to make use of the law which
allows him to revoke the certificates
of teachers who fail to keep their part

No hearing is necessary, and all the

the state superintendent with evidence
that a contract has been violated, and
he will revoke the certificate.

DR.. Crumbine has received the first
report upon the results of analyses
made of Kaw river water between
Lawrence and Topeka. The samples

fessor Barber of the state university.
The two made a trip down the river
in boat. They took about so
samples, and the main object was to
find out just how much the Kaw river
purifies itself in a given distance. The
analyses show that the Raw purifies
itself only to a very small degree. All

that cities on the Kaw will have to
be very careful about filtration of

that some methods of sewage treat
