SCHOOL MEETING.
Postponed Until July II on Ac-
count of Slim Attendance.

The annual meeting of School Dis
trict Number was called to order in
the town hall at 8:20 o'clock Friday
night. Moderator John E. Weeks cal
led the meeting to order and was re-
elected moderator for another year and
Joseph M. Burke was reelected clerk.
Following the proceedings motion was
made and seconded that the meeting
ad journ until o'clock on Tuesday even
ing, July II. The motion was seconded
by John A. Fletcher and carried with
only a few descending votes. This was
one of the most important school meet
ings held in the village district in half a
century and still only about one seventh
of the legal voters in the district were
present.
Auditor Charles l. Button in his un-
printed report to the committee recon-
mended tax of 60 cents on the dollar
of the grand list which is SIT, ,637. 81,
but the committee thought this would
not be sufficient and recommended a
tax of 70 cents on the grand list. The
meeting of July II will undoubtedly be
more numerously attended as very i'm
portant matters are to come up for the
consideration of the voters.

NOTES FROM THE HOUSE.

Simon P. S}ell. who gave the plant
now used for a medical school at Rose
dale, writes to Speaker Buchanan of the
house to protest against the proposed
removal Of the school to Kansas City,
Kan. He says: "It has long been a
cherished ambition and desire upon my
part to locate upon my property at
Rosedale medical institution. About
Is years ago it became my pleasure 20
offer to the state 101 acres of land
valued at 100000 on condition that
there would be located thereon a hos
pital and school for the teaching of the
last two years of fthe medical course.
This offer was accepted by the univer-
sity board of regents; I gave them ten
years to begin the work of building"
Mr.. Bell then tells of what has been
done.
The committee on state affairs will
consider the Don Carlos bill removing
the school at a session Wednesday
night.
The house and senate adjourned early
Monday afternoon in order to attend
the legislative and press banquet at
$50 given by the Topeka Commercial
club. The ways and means committee
will not consider the university budget
of appropriations until Wednesday
night on account of the press associa-
ton sessions and the Kansas day do
ings today. The committee on labor
will meet every night this week in the
labor commissioners office in the state
house to lear the workingnen and EN-
ployees on the compensation act Three
of these compensation bills are now be-
fore lie house committee.
Topeka slipped one across on Hutch
sou Monday afternoon when the capital
city state fair bill was introduced asking
the state for an appropriation of only
$25, 900 for the fair and offering to give
the state property in the heart of the
city valued at $50, 900. The Hutchinson
bill asks for 100000 appropriation and
the Reno county people offer to give
property valued at only $4,000 The
Wichita fair bill has not yet been in
troduced Three state fair bills were
before the last legislature, but none Of
them even came up for debate and
final passage. They did not get beyond
the committee on state affairs.
The house in committee of the whole
this afternoon recommended for passage
the bill fixing the lieutenant governor
salary at $500 per year. which is $500
less than than which he now receives
per annum. Karl Miller of Ford coun-
ty, the youngest member of the house,
made his maiden speech in opposition
to the house action in thus reducing
the pay of so important a state officer
to mere pittance, and it was not his
fault, nor the lack Of earnestness and
logic in his speech that lost the COM
nittee amendment to the bill fixing the
salary at $1,000 per annum. The mem
bers did not give any reason for their
ill-timed parsimony toward the presid-
ing officer of the senate, they just took
a whack at the salary list, that was all.

MEANS LOWER PRICES.
Effect of Canadian Reciprocity on
Farm Products.

New York, Jan. 31.-The executive
committee of the New York Mercan-
tile exchange, whose members handle
most of the agricultural produce COM
ing to this city. has voted its endorse
ment of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, and it is expected that the
exchange will ratify this action by for
NAL vote of it's members at their next
meeting.
statement accompanying the an
nouncement of the executive commit
tees action is as follows:
1.-The reciprocity agre -ment will tend
to minimize fluctuations in the pro-
duce market, particularly in such sta
pies as butter and eggs. Its adoption
will be followed by some reduction in
price on this side of the border and
probably by a slight increase in Can
ada The new scale of prices will be
fair enough for the farmer and will
offer a much needed relief to the con-
sumner.
at will be found that practically all
the commission merchants are in favor
of reciprocity with Canada. The i'm
portation of Canadian farm products,
especially butter and eggs, which
might be brought into this country, is
practically prohibitive. as it was the
Intention of the trainers of the law
that it should be. Only at rare in
tervals when the price of American
butter has gone up has it been pos
sible to bring Canadian butter into
the United States and even then the
risk was great and the profit small
There is a demand here which the
American farmer can not meet. The
United States has 100000 inhabi-
tants and Canada about 100000.
There is no reason why that produc-
tive country to the north should not
furnish supplies for feeding the peo-
pie of the United States out of it's sur
plus.
"The addition of Canada to our food
supply territory should not hurt the
farmers There is room for all. and
the stimulus of competition will help
him in the long rum"

CUT OFF JUDGES.
Governor Would Abolish Many
of the Districts.
Tells Legislature They Haven't
Enough to Do.

Governor Stubs sent a message to
the legislature this morning urging the
passage of the bill consolidating the
judicial districts of the state, taking
the ground that there are more district
judges than are necessary and that in
some districts the judges have but lit
tie work to do while in others the
judges are overcrowded.
The governor also urged the reduc
ton in the number of the regents on
the boards for the university, The agri-
cultural college and the state normal
school.
The message is as follows:
To the Legislature:
am Informed upon excellent auth
GRITTY that out of a total number of "a
district judges in Kansas there are II
judges who hold court less than 100 days
during the year; that there are 10 other
district judges who hold court from 104
up to $50 days during the year; that
there are seven district judges who hold
court less than 200 days during the
year; while in only five judicial dis
tricts in the state the judges hold court
to exceed 200 days each year. Several
of the best district judges in Kansas
have recently stated that they could do
better work if they had more work to
do. Judging from the Information
which I have at hand, I am fully con-
WINGED that from seven to ten judicial
districts can be abolished and consoli-
w
the state.
I recommend that. if, after a thorough
investigation, it shall appear to the
legislature, as it does to me, that the
maintenance of these unnecessary
judges and their stenographers is I'M
business-like and extravagant, you con-
solidate as many of these districts as
possible without interfering with the
efficiency of the various district courts.
Too Many Regents.
There are six members of the board
of regents for the state university, and
an equal number each for the state ag-
ricultural college and the state nor
NAL school, making a total of Is regents
for these three state institutions. 1 am
fully convinced that a board of three
better work and render better service
to the state than the present number.
The work of these boards has largely
to do with the business management
of the educational institutions of the
state. 1t would be less difficult to Sc
cure a quorum, the responsibility of
the work would be more direct, and the
problems coming before these boards
for consideration could be worked out
more expeditiously with three members
on each board. I hereby recommend
that the board of regents at each one
of these institutions be cut squarely in
two and that each board be composed
of three members instead of six.
Respectfully submitted.
W. r. STUBS,
Governor.

He PUT OUT THE LIGHT.
Wire Chief Is Found Hanging Across
the Wires Dead.

New York. Jan. 31.-Holland Kich-
lein, a wire chief employed by the
Edison Electric company of Brooklyn,
was sent out before daybreak this
morning to locate a leakage of cleo
tricity at Red Hook. a suburban dis
trict. He had been gone about an
hour when some one telephoned that
all lights in Red Hook had suddenly
gone out.
Two more men, sent to seek out the
new trouble, found Kichlein's body ly-
ing rigid across the wires forty feet
above the street. He had apparently
fallen from his perch on pole and
his body caught in a tangle of wires
and cables, had short cireufted all the
current of the little town. He had
heen instantly killed.
