TO BE TAMPERED WITH
Steps Being Taken to 0bviate
the Threatened $780,

From a stan Correspondent

TRENTON, Feb 1S-The joint Iegis-
lative committee appointed to devise
some method of preventing deficit of
$780, November next in session
al The state House today. II Is uader-
stood that tiiey will likely finish their
labors on Monday and that a report
may be submitted to the Legislature
Monday night
The members OF the two committees
We're reticent as to their deliberations,
but it is considered likely that they viii
recommend revaluation of railroad
property in this State and general re-
trenchment in State expenditures wher-
ever possible.
Senator Hillery, who heads the COM
mittec from the upper branch. has said
that they would not touch the money
now going to the public schools from
the main-stem taxes, and ii is thought
the joint committee will stand by that
statement.
What it is thought the committee will
recommend is that the cost of main
tanning the State educational institu-
tions be taken from the railroad tax
money. instead of from the fund as at
present.
This was one of the suggestions of
Governor Fort and would save some
100000 for state purposes.
IL was nearly noon when the commit
tee got TO work. and that they had
some hard problems before them was
indicated by the fact that they ordered
their lunch to he sent TO the commit
tee rooms so as to continue their labors
without interruption.
Those present were Senators Hillery,
Frelinghuysen, Bradley, Minch, Cornish
and Iiinchliffe and Assemblymen

NUMBER AZ
COL. PACE DEAD.
Superintendent of Confederate
Home Succumbed to Old
Wounds, Complicated by
Heart Troubles.

Higginsville, Mo-, Sept. ll.-To j.
d. Allen, Butler, Mo. Col. Pace died
$3.50 last night. Funeral at Home
Sunday afternoon. II. B. Duvall.
The above dispatch was quite
shock to our people. While it was
known that he had rendered his re-
signation as Superintendent of the
Confederate Home to take effect Octo-
Der lst, on account of i'll health, we
did not understand his case was criti-
cal.
Col. Jas. l.. Pace came to Bates
county in the early seventies and set
tied on farm near Altoona. He was
elected Recorder of Deeds in 1874
and again in 1878. During his term
in office he promoted North Main
street and built the Pace block. He
was largely instrumental in securing
the building of the Emporia railroad
and promoted Foster, in which he
lost heavily, He was Mayor of But
Ter, and Governor Stone appointed
him Warden of the Missouri Peniten-
tiary, in which capacity he promoted
many prison reforms, notably among
which was the abolition of the whip
ping post at the prison. Eight years
ago he was elected by the Board of
Managers Superintendent of the Con-
federate Home at Higginsville and
made splendid record in that capac-
ity.
Col. Pace was a broad-minded
liberal gentleman of marked ex-
ecutive ability and had the distinction
OF making good in the many impor-
tant positions to which he attained.
He was loyal to his friends, of unim-
peachable honor and integrity, promi-
nent in county and state affairs. He
entered the Confederate ARMY when
but boy, was badly wounded in the
first engagement in which he parti-
cipated and was left for dead upon
the field. This old wound always
gave him more or less trouble, and
as he grew older, it brought on other
complications. He leaves widow
and one daughter, Mrs. Duvall. He
was buried with honorS at the Con-
federate Home.

honor of his son, Prof. w. C. Cham
berlin, before taking his departure
for Warrensburg, where he will at
tend school. There was quite num-
Der present and enjoyed the evening
in games and eating ice cream and
melons.
Last Thursday Mrs. AL. Livingston,
of Old Walnut, was taken before the
county court at Butler and adiudged
insane and was ordered taken to Asy-
lum No. 8 at Nevada. For the last
year or more she has terrorized the
inhabitants Of Old Walnut. Her delu-
sion was that quite a number of chill
dren around Old Walnut belonged to
her husband, in which she had threat
ened death. The women living in
that vicinity feared she might enter
their home unaware and do harm to
their little babies. They did right by
taking her to the asylum before she
decreased the population of Old Wal
nut.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew Gray cele-
brated their 40th wedding anniver-
sary Thursday, September 9th, 1909,

town. Mrs. Gray had prepared an
elegant dinner for the occasion. All
their children being present except
Willie, of Golden, Colorado, who, on
account Of ill health, was not able TO

much by his parents, as it left one
vacant seat around the family alter at
the dear old home, where they had
spent many happy hours in their
childhood days. Their children pres
ented them with a large extension
table and many other useful presents.
Those present were: Harry Gray
and family, Of Lorimor, Iowa; Arthur
Gray and family, of Alton, Iowa; Mrs.
Ella Morrill, and son, of Shawnee,
Oklahoma; Mrs. May Wort and hus-
band, of Bradyville, Iowa, and be-
