Japanese Doctor Sends
"A Charity Contribution

DR.. Richira Nakmaura, of Nagasaki,
Japan, has sent s11.9O for charity work
in the District, because he remembered
the kindness with which he and an un-
fortunate patient, a young Japanese
confined in the Government Hospital for
the Insane, were treated when DR.. Max
maura came to Washington to take the
lad home.
In a letter to Secretary George S. Will
son, of the Board of Charities, DR.. Max
maura stated that the money was re-
bate made to him because the train on
which he and the lad travelled westward
was delayed.
The boy, it was related, committed

Complaints have been made against
the company furnihsing Wichita and
Hutchinson with gas. 1t is charged
that Wichita was receiving gas when
Hutchinson was without. 1t is charged
that this constitutes discrimination. 1t
is said that the contracts between the
company and Wichia- and Hutchinson
are precisely the same and that one
town is just as much entitled to gas
as another.

KANSAS'S BONDED DEBT
ERFORTY-FOUR MILLION
THIS MEANS MONEY SPENT FOR
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
80 Counties With None-Out of 1o5
That Many Have No Outstanding
Indebte tedness-ShaWnee Coun-
ty Has Bonded Debt of $2,.
656,650

Z Topeka. Kan.-Bonded Indebtedness
of Kansas, her counties, cities, town
ships and school districts, could be
pand off by any one of half dozen
men in the United States. But even at
that the totals are staggering. The
total for the state and all its munich
palities is 44,412,915. That ought not
to be considered much of debt for
one an done-half million people when
there are individuals who could pay
1t all off and still have fortunes letl
for their heirs.
State Auditor w. e. Davis has been
working over the bonded Indebtedness
in this state. He has totaled up the
bonded Indebtedness for the different
counties, for the cities, for the town
ships and for the school districts.
Strange as it may seem the bonded in
debtedness Of the cities and townships
is greater than for either the counties
or the school districts. The total for
the cities and townships is $2S,7S9, 1888.
1t means that far more has been spent
for the Improvement OF the cities and
towns than has been spent for educa-
ton. The total educational DEBT in
Kansas, so far as bonds are concerned,
is only $6,629,071.
There is a surprising number or
counties in Kansas that have no oond-
ed Indebtedness. Even the Auditors >
office was not aware of the number
until it began casting up the figures.
There fare thirty-three of them out OF
toati of 105, that have no bonded in
debtedness. This list includes all
kinds of counties such as thinly pop
ulated counties, first class agricultural
counties, mining counties, oil produ"
ing counties and some counties that
are not listed among the best. Below
is a list of the thirty-three counties
having no bonded Indebtedness.

Cheyenne, Crawford, Elk, Ellsworth,

with $S,996,O3S. Sedgwick is sec
ond and Shawnee is third. The table

Lack of Vaccine Costly.

Beloit, Kan.-The failure Of vac
cine to arrive from the state Agricul-
tural college is costing the farmers of
Mitchell county thousands of dollars.
Eight men subscribed $1,125 October
8 to buy serum with which to vaccinate
their hogs, and as yet only enough
has arrived to vaccinate two herds,
and the school authorities are unable
to say when they will be able to sup
ply the order. Hundreds of hogs in
the county have already died from the
disease and many farmers have dispos-
ed of their entire herds to escape the
plague.

Rubber in Usage Oranges.

Lawrence, Kan.-The heretofore
worthless Usage orange, the haro
green fruit of the common roadside
hedge, may prove an unexpected
source of revenue to the trainers of
the middle west Experiments made
by Prof. II. w. Emerson and c. l..
Reese, a fellow in chemistry, at the
University of Kansas, demonstrate
that the common Usage orange or
hedge apple contains the elements OF
rubber. Our experiments have not
gone so far as to show that the Usage
oranges will take the place of rub
ber," Professor Emerson said. There
is no doubt that the elements of rub
ber are present and the material we
are experimenting with may entirely
displace rubber or it may be mixed
with rubber to improve its quality" 1t
was the milky substance eruding from
the hedge balls which first attracted
the attention of the chemists. Rub
ber is obtained as milky substance
from the tropical rubber trees. By the
addition of other components during
the process of manufacture the chepl-
lists believe very good substitute for
rubber can be obtained from the Usage
orange.
