CHURCH FRATERNAL

Council No a. Church Fraternal, is

was organized in the lecture room Of
the First United Presbyterian church,
May s, 1908, by r. Emmet Lucas, state
superintendent, with only twelve bene-
fetal members Since that date the
superintendent has written 22I appli-
cations, 165 of them having been as
signed to Council No. "a, and all Of
them from several church denomina-
tions of Los Angeles.

SO successful that Council No. "a has
decided to continue them indefinitely

months at convenient points of the

features of the picnic was

outside amusements or else patron
izing the city and state travelling
libraries. The family libraries in
Kansas have dropped $4,000 in val
he this year. 1t totals to $439, 317.
The state travelling libraries and Car
negie can be blamed for this.
One of the big showings made by
the report of the state tax commits
sion is on the money on hand and
deposit. This year there is $44.S76,-
430 credited under this head and last
year the record reached $3T689,SS2.
The jewelers. of the state seem to be
doing a big business This year
there are 10000 more gold watches
registered in Kansas than ever be-
fore. Almost 10000 of these time
pieces are ticking away in the pockets
of the prosperous Inhabitants. The
silver watch is losing its place and
dropped 5000 last year The value
of the gold watches reaches mil
lion and a quarter dollars.
Coming back to the real values of
Kansas land there are some beautiful
figures for the real estate agents to
talk over with their customers. For
instance the number and value of cat
tie has increased wonderfully. There
are 1,371.4S2 hogs in the state ac-
cording to the tabulators; 9O5,63S
COWS at a value of $22, ,4S7 re-
ceive visits from their owners every
day. The value of poultry has
reached and overlapDed the three
million dollar mark.
And then the wheat. oats and corn.
2.376.249 bushels of wheat valued at
$2451.203. of course this is far be-
low the record last lear. Oats have
Ieaped over one million bushels into
the air passing the three million mark
and valued at S1.471,945. Corn is
soaring like a balloon and registers
41.55S.OS1 bushels against 37,496,978
last year. The value is considerably
over u millions of dollars.
Jewell county has the most horses
between the age of three months and
three years-7.355. Butler county
has the most work horses. Butler

Boys Who Were Before the Juvenile

taken to the police court.

This is part of a gang of boys who
climbed upon a roof to see the show at
the Air Dome J uly24 and were all taken
down to the police station.
Two of the boys, Mark Williams and
Clarence Anderson. have been in the juve-
nile court before and were taken up and
a complaint filed against them by the po-
lice Judge Shoch set the date for their
hearing as Friday and summoned their
parents to appear that time.
Mrs. Anderson appeared and said her
BOY ran wy. No one ppeared for the Will
liams boy until Saturday about noon when
the father asked the juvenile court where
his boy was. Later a message came from
the parole officer at Kansas City that the
two boys nd three others were down there.
Apparently the two boys caused the 9TH
ers to fear they. too. were to be locked

Mr.. Williams yesterday arranged with
the Kansas City officers to return his boy

heard of the five runaways except that
they we're arrested and the two fined.

county attorney had not changed his
opinion, so far as / knew, and that
unless he did so that ! could not
allow the claim. There are two qucs-
lions involved in this matter: First
could the commissioners legally sell
the stocks without submitting ;ha
same to a vote of the people. the
amount involved being over $1,000.
Second even though they could sell
the stock without thus submitting
it to a vote could they enter into a
legal contract with bond brokers to
pay them a commission for it's sale
AS the matter now stands the claim
has been disallowed and there is no
rightful payment OF the $500 to
Kelly q Kelly by the Bank Of Topeka"
Although the claim is not allowed.
Kelly & Kelly have already gotten their
money. In fact they had it three weeks
before the county got its share
As the reporter walked into the COM
n-issioners' room last evening the chair
man of the board looked up and said:
well, we've got the money and deserve
credit for it. 1t is more than any other
county got for theirs. We are glad to
get it and have built two nice bridges

Formal Statement Is Made by

Owing to reports gaining circulation
today which are Objectionable to the
county auditor and county attorney it
is necessary to again take up the pain
ful affair of the Kelly & Kelly sale of
stocks.
That the affair is not peacefully set
tied is quite evident from interviews
with the county attorney and auditor
today. The auditor basing his action
ney disallowed the claim of Kelly &
Kelly and filed the papers with the
board of county commissioners only
yesterday. That disallOWed claim is
now on file and no resembling action

has been taken by the auditor or at
torney nor is likely to be. Hence it
would appear that the trouble has just
begun. Certainly it is if these men
stand by their action as they evidently
expect to do.
County Attorney Schenck said this
morning: 81 just saw Larimer about
that article stating that all was done
up here about Kelly & Kelly and his
statement therein that he would
change his views and allow the claim
and he said that he had never made
such a statement. And [ believe he
did not. Why, we just decided that
thin0 and it was filed only yesterday.
There is no reason why the claim
should be allowed. The contract itself
is void and of course he disallowed the
commission. I have not changed my
opinion. Besides I think it strange
that the records of that transaction
were not shown the commissioners and
the county clerk If 1 employ you as
my agent to sell a horse and say sell
you IS per cent commission and later
you tell me there is $50 over in the
bank for me, wouldn't 1 like to know
just how much you sold him for?''
James E. Larimer, county auditor,
was just making a written statement
when the reporter reached him. The
statement follows:
In view of the erroneous state
ment contained in the Capital, this
morning, to the effect that 1 had
agreed to allow the claim of Kelly
