County Bank Building.

Usage City, Kan, July 26.-The
work on the Usage County bank build
ing will start imm ediately. The con-
tract has been awarded w. c. Plank
of Topeka. The bids were held over
last week in order that there would
be a possibility of letting the contract
to home contractors, Leighty Bros.
Mr.. Plank in his position, however,
was able to construct the building for
so great a margin less that the bank
was forced to give him the contract.
The building will be 32xe0 feet. The
construction will be entirely of Bed
ford stone and gray buff brick
trimmed with terra Gotta. There will
be a full basement beneath the build
ing, in which the furnace will be
placed, heating the building with hot

Barber located here several years ago.
a physicians single in Palco, on &C
count of the healthy climate. The
town is just as healthy now as it was
several years ago, and there now are
four doctors instead of one, besides
there are seven located in radius of
fifteen miles.
One thing is certain, the people of
the town and surrounding country are
taking the advice of Roosevelt and
raising healthy children in connection
with harvesting big crops of all kinds
of grains, stock and alfalfa. For crops
of wheat and corn the country around
Palco has been a record breaker for
several wears.

RELIC OF COLONEL DYER FOUND
He Was Man Who Rescued w. III.
Mackey From Hanging at Easton.

Leavenworth, Kan. July 26.-An
old walnut board. badly decayed, was
recently found in the woods near Kick
apoo and carved on it, evidently with
an ordinary knife, the name Dyer
was still plainly legible. This is be-
lieved to be a relic of Colonel William
T. Dyer, the old Indian trader who set
tied among the Kickapoo Indians near
Kickapoo about 1845. He lived with
his family on what is now known as
the old Lawrence farm for a number
of years. In 1853 he was a delegate
to the convention that organized the
provisional government of Nebraska
territory.
The late H. Miles Moore of Leaven-
worth knew Colonel Dyer we'll, and
was at his house near Kickapoo a
number of times between 1850 and
1854. He was Familiarity known as
Colonel Bill Dyer. He was a Ken
lucky Missourian,' according to Mr..
Moore. land was jolly, broad-gauged,
liberal, whole-souled, splendid speci-
men of a true southern gentleman -
Mr.. Moore said that Dyer sold out to
Lawrence in 1854, and this must be
correct for in 1854 we find William F.
Dyer and his brother, George M. Dyer,
operating a trading establishment on
the "Old Military road" where
OsawIie, in Jefferson county, now
stands. The Dyers founded the town
of Osawkie in 1855, and were proni-
nent in Jefferson county for many
years. William was the first county
treasurer and George the first sheriff
of that county in 1856. William was
elected sheriff in 1857. George was
the first postmaster of Osawkie, when
the office was established March Is,
1855.
The Dyers were of pro-slavery senti-
ment. In the same year when w. H.
Mackey, father of the present United
States marshal of Kansas, and Thomas
A. Minard, a merchant at Easton,
were captured by pro-slavery men near
Easton and threatened with hanging,
they were rescued by William Dyer.
Mackey in his "reminiscences says:
Dyer was a good man. though he diff
fered from me in politics."

MICHIGAN CUTS ATHLETIC
BONDS With CONFERENCE
Creation Of New Athletic Boards
Means Wolverines Must Stay
With East
SPORTS TO BE IN NEW HANDS

Ann Arbor, Mich, June 1.--As the
result of The action taken by the boarG
Of university regents last week, Mich
igan's alliance with the east in athlet-
los Is made practically irrevocaIble. By
changing the makeup of the board In
control of athletics the regents nave
made it virtually impossible for Mach
igan ever to come to reconciliation
with the western conference.
The immediate effect of the change
in the board in control is to make It's
membership consist of three faculty
members. three students, three alumni,
one regent, and the director OF athlet-
les. The old board whose existence
will terminate with the close Of the
resent academic year, contained
Ave university professors, including
Keere Fitzpatrick, who is a recognized
member of the university senate coun-
IL, two students. and one alumnus.
At the time the question of Michi-
~an's return To the conference was ag-
ltated last winter the matter or
training table which Michigan would
not Weld, was the. ostensible stumbling
block to a reconciliation, and a reor-
ganization of the western association.
However, even at that time there was
a condition more fundamental which
would have made Intellectual any at
tempts to patch up existing differences
between Michigan and its former allies.
axra1o ant nrlfr
the members of the Big Eight that
Michigan's athletics were not in the
hands Of THE faculty. Authorities at
several leading institutions emphasiz-
ed the fact that the ultimate power
must reside in the academic rules, a
condition which they claimed did not
exist at Michigan.
Whatever may be said of the roun-
alton of such a belief, 1t is Impossible
to deny that there now will be no
semblance of faculty control OF eiev-
en- members on the now board In con-
troll only three will he members of the
university faculty, unless the director
of athletics tbe counted as represent
alive of the faculty. This condition OF
affairs will preclude any possibility OF
the other colleges meeting Michigan
half way should the Wolverines ever
decide to seek -admittance into the
conference, and at the same time the
makeup of the now board Is such that
suoh request Is extremely unlikely.
1t is too early to forecast what mem
bers of the faculty will be given places,
but as Prof. Patterson, chairman or
| the present board. will be abroad next
year. 1t is certain that he will not he
included. Prof. Evans Holbrook OF the
law department probably will be re-
turned, as will Prof Meyers of the
combined departments. The regents
representative on the board will be
George p. Codd of Detroit, while Cir
cult Judge James O. lMurfin of Detroit,

to he appointed to a position on the
board.
