Lord Sholto Is brother OF the pres.

Bakersfield in 1895. Lord Sholto mar

Pastors theater In New York.
In his present despair the noble
Englishman estimates the amount he
has souandered on his wife at be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 900. He
says he seeks the solitude OF a sur
veyor's camp that he may forget his
troubles. Incidentally he needs the
pay, ~ day, to enable him to eat
occasionally.

a legal separation from her husband.

FIVE ARE SENTENCED.
None of Prisoners Entering Pleas of
Guilty Were kansans.

Five young men, not one of them ma
tives of Kansas were sentenced to the
state refOrmatory at Hutchinson this
morning by Judge A. w. Dana of the
district court. In each case 1ndeterml-
nate sentence was made.
ut is hard' said Judge Dana, ''to
ascertain all the facts in the cases of
persons of this kind who belong to
the so-called floating population of the
country. The prosecuting attorney has
no means of finding much more about
the prisoner than the prisoner is will
ing to tell or than may be furnished
by those connected with the arrest.
There lately has been an epidemic
of larceny from dwelling houses and
similar crimes. If we can break up
this persistent trouble in any other
way the court will begin sending pris-
oners directly to the penitentiary in
stead of the reformatory. These prls-
Cners are young men, with an appear
ance of intelligence. and we are dis
posed 20 give them another opportunity
for their white alley"
In every case the prisoner had en-
tered a plea of guilty. All of the cases
are of recent origin, some of them be-
ing not more than a week or so old.

WHAT IS WRONG?
Attendance at Teachers Institutes Is
DwindIing Away.

Superintendent Fairchild, speaking
today about the county institute work
this summer, gave it as his opinion
that the attendance at these teachers.
schools is gradually decreasing. It was
less this year than last, and last year
the attendance was light. The teach
ers are attending summer schools and
taking normal work The same condi-
lions prevail in other states But the
work of the institutes this summer was
high class, the instructors being above
the average and the teachers paying
serious and earnest attention to their
work
The superintendent noted the sig
nificant fact that there are fewer male
teachers than usual enrolled at the in
stitutes. The superintendent and his
assistants visited 60 out of sc institutes
in the state. He estimates that SO to 80
per GENT of the enrolment is composed
of brand new teachers who have never
yet taught a school In some of the
counties there is a shortage of teach
ers, while in others there is a surplus.
The superintendent while he is in
clined to believe that there will be a
shortage of teachers in the state next
fall, is not yet prepared to make
definite announcement of that fact. He
hopes that the surplus in other coun-
ties will be able to take care of the
shortage. In Rocks county there is re-
ported a shortage of 80 teachers and 10
will be needed in Graham county.

HOW ALBAUGH WON S25.
Bet Denton Statement Wouldn't Be
Published in Square Deal Paper.

Morton Albaugh collected $25 this
morning from Fred Cole on a wager,
and Mr.. Coles faith in the Kansas
City Star and Times has been some
what shattered.
The wager grew out of the inter-
view recently given out by Secretary of
State Denton, in which he reviewed the
primary election law, ana called at
tention to the fact that under a strict
Interpretation of the law. it is going
to be somewhat of a difficult and risky
proceeding for Democrats to particle
pate in the Republican primaries and
then vote for the Democratic nominee
for governor at the election.
Mr.. Cole rather thought that Gov
ernor Stubs had the edge on Mr..
Wagstaff because he would receive a
very large Democratic vote, and Mr..
Albaugh was of the opinion that after
the law was pretty generally under
stood the Democratic voter would be
somewhat reluctant to vote for Mr..
Stubs and take the chances that he
would have to take in doing so.
1t then developed that a consider
able number of the square DEAF pa
pers had not printed Mr.. Denton's in
terview, and particularly the Kansas
City Star and Times. Mr.. Albaugh OBJ
served that the Star and Times prided
themselves on being independent
newspapers, and in fact were so indie
of political news unless they were of
the square dear' variety.
Mr.. Cole carelessly said that he
would bet they. would print the in
terview of Mr.. Dentons, because 1t
was in his mind very important item.
Mr.. Albaugh was willing to bet SIS
on his previous declaration and after
Mr.. Cole had been assured that Mr..
Denton had given the article to the
Stars correspondent, he accepted the
wager.
Mr. Cole became a very ardent read
er of the following issues of the two
papers, but so far he has been I'M
able to find even in the smallest type
the above mentioned interview The
time limit expired this morning, for it
was conceded that they would not
print the matter after it had already
been printed several days previous in
the other metropolitan papers.
so Mr.. Cole, it is said. has settled
with Mr. Albaugh, and threatens here
after to transfer his allegiance to the
Topeka Plaindealer.

Secured.

Will Davis assistant state auditor. has
issued the following statement in which
he gives specific information in regard
to the settlement of school lands:
State school lands. not to exceed 100
acres, may be settled upon by any person
over the age of q years, or the head of
a family. The. settler must reside on the
land for a period of six months, making
it his only home. and improve the land

At the expiration of the six months
period the settler makes proof of his set
tlement and improvements before the pro-
bate. court, and Is granted permit to
purchase the land at the appraised value.
ssThe other plan of procedure is for fff-
teen householders of the township in
which the land is situated, to petition
for the appointment of appraisers and
sale of the land at public auction, which
sale is conducted by the county treasurer
after having given four weeks notice in
the official county paper of the sale date.

VALUES ARE MORE
Real Estate Appraisement Now
Is $3O,268,465.
Extension Of City Limits Has
Helped the Increase.
NORTH SIDE GROWS.
Figures Ten Per Cent More
Than Two Years Ago.
The Public Service Corporations
Have Grown.
NORTH SIDE GROWS.

An increase of s2123,S in the valua-
ton of real estate in the city of To-
peka for 1910, over the figure at which
it was appraised two years ago, was
announced by County Assessor S. H
Haynes this morning.
AS yet only the totals of city real
estate valuation have been made up,
the figure being S30, 26S. 465 against the
previous valuation of s2S.144.595. For
weeks the assessors and the board of
equalization have been working over
these figures, verifying them and adj
justing complaints alleging excessive
valuation in numerous individual
cases.
That the increase this year is due
partially to the extension of the city
limits, partly to the yearly expenditure
of a million dollars on new buildings
and partially to the fact that in many
sections of the city property is valued
on the market at figure considerably
over what it ever brought before, is
the account given by Assessor Haynes.
In the southwest section the Elm
hurst addition has been added since
the assessment was made in 1908. This
locality has largely built up. Through
out the residence sections dwellings
have been erected on hundreds of lots
that were vacant when the assessors
summed things up two years ago. and
In the business part of town many
valuable structures have been raised
in the course of two years
There also has been a change in the
valuation of North Topeka property
Two years ago the county assessors
declared reduction of % per cent
upon all property in the district which
had suffered by flood. This cut of valua-
ton has stood for two years in which
time the property has been restored to
nearly its former value. This year the
figures for the North side read $685.
