What Schools Cost.

State Superintend Fairchild
delivered an address to the stud
ents of Wasburn college at the
chapel Thursday evening.
Among other things he gave out
the following interesting infor
nation regarding the public
schools of this state: The
average citizens does not have
the faintest idea of the magni
tude of public school property
and the annual expenses of
carrying on these schools
1t costs about four millions a
year to conduct all the business
of the state and pay all it's bills
and salaries where it requires
about ten millions to keep up the
public schools and colleges of
the state Over thirteen millions
are invested in school property
in Kansas. There are 5O7, 200
persons of school age in the
state and of this number over
400, 900 are in school at this time.
The percentage of attendance
out of the possible number
eligible to attend school is very
large when it is considered
that large number of persons
finish high school while yet
under school age set by law and
therefore are exempt from the
truancy law.
The superintendent address
was full of interesting and valu-
able information about the
school work of the state and
some of the statements were
startling in their account of
their volume and magnitude of
this great work of education in
which Kansas is justly proud.

A Kansas paper tells of the
dangers of newspaper borrowing
as follows: A man who was to
ecomical to take his home paper
sent his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighor. In
haste the boy ran over a $40
stand of bees, and in ten minutes
looked like a warty summer
squash His cries reached his
father who ran to his assistance
and failing to notice a barb wire
fence, run into that, breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and ruined a
S4 pair of pants. The COW took
advantage of the gap in an in
stance and got into the cornfield
and killed herself eating green
corn Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upSetting a four gal
lon churn of rich cream into
basket of kittens, drowning
them. In her hurry she lost 81
set of teeth. The baby, left
alone crawled throug the cream
and into the parlor, running a
brand new $50 carpet. During
the excitment the oldest daught-
er ran away with the hired man;
the dog broke up IL setting hens
and the calves got out and chew
ed the tails off four fine shirts.

Small cattle receipts at all
points yesterday gave the mar
ket another boost of 10 to Is
cents and the IL, ZOO head which
arrived here today found ready
sale, at steady to strong prices
as compared with yesterday 1t
was a novelty to see buyers
scramble to get in first on the
fresh arrivals. and good size
ed waiting list at the pens slim
ulated a strength in first bids
that usually got the goods.
Buyers were not as discriminate
ing as to weight and quality as
heretofore, a reflection of a
better outlet for the meat
Numerous lots of steers have
sold at 1878 yesterday and to-
day, top today $3.50, bulk of
steers 1913 to S6.65, which is
around so cents above a week
ago. Heifers reached S6.40 to-
day. bulk of heifers $500 to
5000, cows S3.5 to $3.50, bulls
1878 to 1925, best veals 500.
The fact that the sharp rise in
prices has not brought out an
excessive supply apparently
L. L
try, but on the other hand, the
cattle remaining in feed lots are
in the hands of aStute old time
feeders, who are eminently cap
able of conducting waiting
campaign calculated to squeeze
out the full strength of the pres
ent situation to their own bene-
fit. Trade in Stockers and feed
-ers has been up to the size of
the supply, and prices are Is to
25 cents above week ago,
;stockers $500 to So. so, feeders
$500 to $685..
The hog supply is II, 900 head
today, market 5 higher, and
bulk of sales is at highest point
yet reached, at $500 to $3.50,
top $7.35 same top as on different
days last week. A statement of
volume of pork product in the
hands of pokers issued Saturday
reveals greatly depleted stocks,
and activity of buyers for the
last week indicates firm foun-
dation to- the market both yes
terday and today was strong to
higher than the opening a
state of trade most pleasing to
statesmen.
Sheep and lambs are rapidly
advancing, the market up TO
cents today, following a gain of
Is to % cents yesterday. Wool
ed lands got most of the advance
bulk of same selling at 49,
to 1878 this week, yearlings
S7.65, wethers S6.75, ewes Sc. 25,
clipped lambs $50. Packers
dread the days when there will
be no fed stock offered, not far
away, and are building up their
stocks at extravagant prices
Texas muttons bring 1926 to
$500 today, fat goats $500 to
S4.25, thin goats 49, to 1918.

mony that the wife was affable when
herself, II only he could bring her
good nature into contrast with her
testimony that tended to show her
violent, abusive, uncertain in her
motives and confused in her actions
at those moments when she was al

ton in any definite manner, Aldrich
and Hale flatly contradicted the
statements in reference to wages and
cost of production. They insisted
that the Mann committee of the house
of representatives from which Mr..
Brown quoted, was lacking naccu-
rate testimony, and commended that,
even accepting that report, 1t could
not be maintained that the United
States had an advantage in the pro-
duction. This dispute ran along for
two hours. -; -.
There was large attendance Of
democrats, who for the most part re-
manned silent through the debate.
Senator Tillman was an exception.
With characteristic brusqueness he
asked how 1t was that newspapers
advocating a progressive tariff de-
sired free trade in the materials
they use. Then, looking over the
senate with a frown, and stamping
his foot upon the silkon carpet, de-
clared they are humbugs." :ss,:-
Bailey was also heard briefly. In
facetious manner he suggested
thate an amendment should be drawn
giving the benefit of free paper to
free trade papers and levying a duty;
on paper used by protective tariff
journals. Mr.. Brown still held the
floor when the senate adjourned
earlier than usual to permit demo-
Tie senate adopte d the window
glass schedule placing a lower duty
on such glass than is provided either
by the Dingley law or by the house
bill. Because of intense competition
by German manufacturers, the duty
on illustraed post cards was increased

graephic paper, calendars cigar

English Luggage Llftsrs.

English railway companies suffer
severely through the purloining Of pas
sengers' baggage and other erticles by.
platform thieves, and In some cases it
is difficult matter to find out the mis-
creant. One Of these luggage filters
was on an occasion SONG ame ago
seen keeping vigil bver 1 barrow OF
luggage. and II his hand hs carried
apparently q good sized portmanteau..
He walked up and down the platform
several times and at last stopped op-
posite the luggage. Placing his bag
on the barrow for g. moment, he then
picked It up and walked off. But the
lynx eye of one OF the railway officials
had also been watching the barrow,
and, going up to the man, had him ar
rested and searched. It WAS found
that his apparent portmanteau was
only a skeleton and inside had q set
Of springs, etc.. which, when placed
over a smaller bag, held the latter In
position. But for the smartness of the
official another travellers bag would
have been missing. London Answers.

how much thing could have been nc
Continuous trickling OF
water wears away the face Of the rock.
Haphazard it was until at last weird
pattern is formed that sometimes re-
sembles a mans face, sometimes an

collection Of statuary, the biggest free
show in the world. la,.&$% :. 4 =
Another work of Natures that very
