S per cent Of the $2,l13,0O0 assessed

district. The meeting was the NEST
enthusiastic ever held in Galloway

Garden City Editor Forced to Appeal
to Governor Stubbs for
Protection.

Topeka, Aug. 26.-An appeal for
state protection by o. R. D. 8. Oak
ford, editor of a Socialist paper at
Garden City, Kan, has just been re-
ceived by Governor Stubs. The ap-
peal followed a raid on Oahord's
newspaper office by unknown persons,
who dumped his type out in the street
and left warning to Oakford to leave
town within twenty-four hours, threat
ening violence to him If he did not go.
Representatives of the Garden City
Commercial club also came to take
up Oakford's case with\ the state Of
ficials. They say he has made at
tacks upon reputable citizens of the
town and they want the paper sup
pressed. They assert the raid on the
printing office was not on account of
the Socialistic policy Of the paper, but
because of the attacks made upon
citizens. They also appealed to the
United States district attorney.
Oakford's appeal for protection was
contained In an 8OO-word telegram,
which Oakford sent collect" to Gov
ernor Stubs. Oakford was the So

After his statement Sheriff Scales,

TOWN ROW TO MAKE CITY RICH
Waterworks Bond Election Started
Trouble That is Filling City
Treasury.

Solomon, Kan, Aug. 2C.-There is a
town row on here that is making this
town the very best, most moral and
circumspect city in the state. One
faction desired to issue bonds to buy
an electric light and water plant. The
other faction knocked on the PROPOSE
ton, and there was considerable bit
terness. But the go-ahead people won
and the knockers got out an Injunction
that stopped further proceedings.
Then began the moral wave and the
indications are that by the Time the
court proceedings are completed there
will be enough money in the city
treasury to pay for the plant without
any bonds. The two factions each
decided to make the members Of the
other faction walk a chalk line.
One man swore at some boys who
we're stealing his watermelons and he
was fined the limit for using unseemQy
language. A man borrowed a dog
from q friend In Junction City and
was fined for not paying the tax on
the dog. A lad desiring to smoke his
pipe leaned over and scratched a
match on a flagstone on the sidewalk
and was fined for defacing public
property.
Everybody pays fine for something
or other in Solomon.

School.

Springfield, Mo-, Aug. 26.-At .
mass meeting Of residents of Douglas
county at Ava resolutions were
adopted protesting against the loca-
ton Of q state Industrial school for
negro girls in that county. A copy
of the resolutions will be forwarded
to the governor and members of the
board of locators. The committee
first considered Sedalia as the loca-
ton for the new institution and had
practically closed a deal for a site
for the buildings when the residents
protested. The result was that the
Sedalia plan was abandoned. 1t was
believed that there would be less
opposition to an institution Of the kind
AZ 1t were located in some sparsely
settled community and Douglas coun-
