Uncle Sam In Default.

Laws of the city and regulations of the government are in conflict in Mont gomery, as result of which the en- ployes of the government building may not be able to have water An arbitrary charge of $3.00 quarter is made for wa ter, which must be paid in advance. The department at Washington refuses ito pay in advance. The council says the fee must be paid in this way. The state does it, the citizens make no complaint, and the city laws cannot be thus ignored even by Uncle Sam

without opposition and the city will pion- ger in the movement to give those who work the advantage of schools The ori2 ginal motion carried an appropriation of 5000 It passed reduced to 5000. This will be enough to get start and it is eX- pected that in a very short time the schools will be ready for the reception of those children who are busy all through the day.
 Anti-Race Suicide.
 An Indian woman with 21 children has been denied permission to tell fortunes in the city without license. The councilmen thought that any woman who coulid as- semble so large family had the call on President Roosevelt and Governor Conner, enthusiastic anti-race suicide advocates, to the point of getting all the needful without being given free access to the pocketbooks of the easy things who try to look into the future at so much peep.
 Acres of Cabbage.
 Coleman and Hudson, who have farms near Uniontown, have arranged to. plant 200, GOO cabbage plants. which will be se- cured from the growers of that section of the state. Morgan and McCorkle are putting in fifteen acres in onions near the same place. There has been a wonder full development of the trucking industry in that section in the last few years.
 School House Money.
 Superintendent of Education H. c. Gun nels Is sending out $2,203 for rural school houses. Each district that is thus aided must put up as much or more than the state gives. Since october s15,0O0 has been sent out to this purpose. representing building of value of at least s6O,OO0, and zee T 1908, $47,OOO, has been utilized this way, meaning expenditure of about $15o,0Oo. The tag tax is very heavy at this time. and it now looks that there will be $1,000 for every county in the state as contemplated by the law.
 University Committee.
 The building committee of the State University. has been called to meet at the capital Monday March g. It is com posed of the following the governor be- ing chairman: Justice T. e.

Uniform Bill for Missouri and
Kansas to Be Drafted
Covering All Relations Between
Host and Public.

The Kansas and Missouri Hotel Mems
association will hold their thirteenth
annual meeting in Topeka next No
vember. 1t is not generally known that
this association was founded here in
Topeka in 1895 by a few central Kan
sas hotel men. Chas. L. Wood, now
manager of the new National, was a
hotel clerk here at the time and had
a hand in the organization. He has
been secretary and treasurer of the
organization for a number of years
After some effort several of the
western Missouri hotel men were in
duced to Join the association Then a
delegation was sent to st. Louis to try
to induce the Mound City hotel men to
join in for the good of their business
and for protection and for the improve
ment of hotel service generally
The first visit to ST. Louis failed in
its mission. Later the association tried
again and the second delegation met
with signal success. One of the most
prominent hotel men in, ST. Louis join
ed in the movement and others follow
ed him. The association now has about
$50 members and is organized on a
strong and permanent basis.
One of the principal objects of the
meeting to be held here next fall will
be the launching of a movement to
have legislation enacted, by both the
Kansas and Missouri legislatures for
the protection of hotel men from guests
who do not pay their bills. The pres
ent laws covering this problem are
faulty and inadequate. The Missouri
law is even weaker than the one in
force in Kansas. - ~.G-
Under the present law a guest can
enter a hotel carrying a grip full of
bricks and run up a $50 bill in a
weeks time and leave the city without
paying one cent to the hotel man.
While the latter can, it is true,
have his defaulting guest arrested and
prosecuted on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, yet there
is no special legislation covering the
case and extra effort on the part of
the hotelkeeper is required and special
evidence is necessary for conviction
under the general laws covering a
felony.
At the Topeka meeting next No
vember law will be drafted by the
convention that will cover every phase
of the relations between the 'otel-
keeper and the public. This will be the
same for both Missouri and Kansas
and committee will be appointed to
try and get the measure passed by the
legislatures of the two states next
winter. The coming session of the ho-
tel men promises to be the most i'm
portant in the 13 years history of the
association. In speaking of the mat
ter, Mr.. Wood of this city said: For
a quarter of a century the hotel man
has been governed by ironbound GUS

RIFLES ARE DEFECTIVE.
Kansas Team Finds New Springfield
Arm u Failure.

Are the new Springfield army rifles
defective? Will this wonderfully
powerful new weapon of the United
States army and state military forces
have to be cast into the scrap heap?
These questions will have to be
answered promptly by United States
army experts.
Today Adjutant General ]. w. F.
Hughes sent by express to the mem
bers of the Kansas rifle team at Camp
Perry, Ohio, ten brand new Spring
field rifles to replace those which the
members of the team already had,
and which had become Headed" dur
ing the week of target practice which
the Kansas team has been taking at
Swope park in Kansas City.
A rife which leads the barrel, as
these new Springfields seem inclined
to do, is of little vahle as a military
arm, for as soon as the barrel is
loaded, the possibility of making good
scores on a target is destroyed. No
markSman, no matter how expert, can
shoot with a loaded rifle
OF course 1t is possible that the lead
ing of the rifles used by the Kansas
team was due to some defect in the
ammunition, or it may have been
peculiar to the particular lot of rifles
which happened to be sent to Kansas.
But the probability Is that 1t will be
found that other military marksmen
have discovered the same trouble with
the new rifle, and news of a shake
up in the small arms end of the
ordnance department would not be
surprising.
The Kansas rifle team, composed of
the fifteen best shots in the Kansas
National guard. left today for Camp
Perry. Ohio, to compete in the ma
tional rifle contests. The team has
been at Kansas City for the past
week, practicing on the Swope park
rife range, about eight miles from
the city.
Great things are expected of this
years team, from the preliminary
scores which the shooters have been
making. Lieutenant Frank Parmley is
counted the best shot on the team,
and it would not surprise his friends
If he should land at the top of the
national individual match. Last year
he was fifth in field of over 500
competitors.
On Monday evening the Kansas
rifle team was entertained at ban
quet at the Savoy hotel by the Kansas
City company of the Missouri National
guard, of which Frank Ward is cap
tain. The Missouri guardsmen have
been treating the Kansas marksmen
with great hospitality during their
stay in Kansas City.
The coach of the Kansas team is
act as "spotter" during the competi-
tive shooting.
Thursday night theee regiments of
the Missouri National guard will pass
through here en- route to Fort Riley
where they will go into camp for ten
days, taking the place of the Kansas
troops.

to all guests who enter his portals. A
stranger cannot go to any other bust
ness man in the world and get goods
to the value of $50 on credit without
security or recourse by law in case of
refusal to pay for them. Ever since
the days of the White Horse inn in

not have a penny. 1 often think OF
the tribulations of the French inn
keeper who entertained Athos, one of

member that Athos locked himself up
in the poor mans cellar where all the
latter's wine and food were stored and
with loaded musket and bare sword
held the place for two weeks while the
trade of the inn went to pieces. Athos
drank hundred bottles of wine dur

the wine, but the custom of making
the tavernkeeper dance, as you see,
