The city administration is doing
great deal toward making the
streets of the town attractive. The
past week considerable work has
been done on West Second st. and
on Grant Ave, in cleaning out the
bitches, and fixing them 50 that
these streets will drain into Can
Creek. There are a number OF
streets that need grading and the
good work will 90 on as long as
the funds hold out. Draggig the
streets is also good practice and
the good work should be extended
to-a number of the country roads
as fast as it is practicable. In this
country where railroads are few
and far between, the roads form
the only means of getting from
one place to another and it is very
essential that they be kept in as
good condition as possible.

The Boosters Club has not been
receiving the support from the
business men of the town that it is
really entitled to. AS business
proposition, it affords great pos
sibilities for increasing the busin-
ess of the town. 1t takes good
strong pull to keep a town going
and growing when competition is
strong. Before many years we
are going to feel the need of a
good and substantial organization
among the business men of the
town, and we will be better able to
master the situation if the organi-
cation is perfected now. Ofcourse
everyone can find an excuse for not
attending the MEETINGS, but we may
sometime encounter a situation
when excuses will no longer avail,
The Boosters Club has a few live
members but it should include al
least one man from every business
establishment in the town. Why

The Monetary Value o.
Schooling.

Education is profitable to the
educated. 1t adds to the earning
power of the individual.
Two young ladies, Miss Nettie
Fraser and Miss Ruth Spray, Of
the department of education, Uni.
yersity of Kansas, have made a
most interesting investigation Of
salaries or wages as related to
schooling.
They found that in Lawrence,
Kansas, a greater number of men
had gone to school eight years
than any other period. The next
greatest number had gone twelve
years, then ten, then sixteen.
Among the people canVassed
were IL clerks, II teachers, 8 car
penters, 6 statesmen, 5 stenograph-
ers and bookkeepers, 6 merchants,
5 printers, 4 in laundry work, 4
domestics, 3 cashiers, 3 day labor
ers, 3 insurance agents, 3 BARRIERS,
2 telegraph operators, two stone
masons, 3 machinists, 2 newspaper
men, 2 farmers, 2 dressmakers,
2 night watchmen and one each
of the following: banker, dairy
man, fisherman, reporter, civil en-
gineer, bookbinder, dentist, street
car conductor, color rail-
road man, butcher, milliner, wash
er woman, poultry man, piano
player and nurse.
More men received $500 than
any other amount. The greater
majority of men received from
5000 to 81, 900
No man who had less than eight
years of schooling got more than
1900 and only two of these more
than 5000. One of the two receiv-
ing more than 5000 said he had
been taught at home. Then. too,

telling how many days a year he
worked. Consequently it was diff
fcult to estimate his income per
year. OF the men who had gone
to school JEST eight years FIVE re-
ceiyed less than 5000, five between
5000 and $1,000, and five from
$1,000 to 1900, but none more
than 81, 800S Out of twelve men
getting more than 81, 300, nine had
over twelve years of education and
three between eight and twelve
years. The three That had had less
than twelve years of education
were men who had had a great
deal OF experience and had gone to
school several years ago. All the
young men getting over $1,000
had had more than twelve years
of schooling.
The majority of women had
gone to school from seven to twelve
years and received $500 without
much regard to the number OF
years of schooling. By comparing
women's with mems salaries it was
found that women's wages were
extremely low. Only three men
received as little as $500 and none
less than that amount, while more
than half the women received $500
or less, although the women on
the averagu had gone to school as
much as the men.
In general there seemed to be a
correlation between the amount OF
schooling a person has had and his
earning ability. The man who has
been to school the longest does not
necessarily receive the highest wag-
es, but be seems to have greater
chance of receiving the greatest
amount of money.
Correlation was true in more
cases of the men than of the wo-
men unless the woman had taken
up some occupation where she
could use her education directly. =

 The first activity Is likely to be the United States senatorial scramble. The first man to formally enter except Ben- ton McMillin, who is considered the logical regular" for that honor, he holding the nomination from the same convention that indorsed Governor Pat terson as regular" nominee, is G. T. Fitzhugh, chief counsel for the prose- cution in the Carmack murder trial. He announced today and Is already very busy. He is considered to hold the ad vantage as fusion" favorite at the wire but as the running promises to be on a miry track with large field in the going, there is no telling what may happen or how long the handicap will go.
 It would appear to be an ideal con- test for dark horses. several names be- Ing mentioned in this regard and many other lurking possibilities hoping that the lightning may glance off and strike somewhere in their neighb orh ood. There is some possibility of this oon- test being ,ostponed from Tuesday, the time rhltsiCsfS billed, Sr account of the fact that it aiay be 1T sisted that the lower house has never been organ ized as yet and that the statutes TO- quired this election to be held the sec ond Tuesday after converting, may con sequently run it over week.

OIL MAN SHOT DEAD
 IN KANSAS TOWN

Clancy, Kan, January 7.-Al A. Trus- kett who shot and killed J. D. s. Neely, a prominent oil man, in the Palace hotel this morning, was arraigned before Jus tice of the Peace William Lynn late today on a charge of murder in the first degree. He was released on $25,OoO bond and will be given preliminary hearing Monday.
 Both Truskett and Nicely were wealthy, the latter being president of the Lima (Ohio) Trust company. the Wichita Pipe Line company, and several other oil con cerns. Enmity was aroused between them some time ago because of lease of val uable oil lands near Clancy which both men claimed Truskett met Nicely in the lobby of the hotel today and the two went into vacant room. A moment later two shots were heard. Neely was dead when picked up. Truskett at once sur rendered to officiers. Shortly after the shooting Truskett said he fired in self defense. At the coroner's inquest late to- day it developed that MT. Nicely was not armed.
 The jury found that he had come to his death by & gunshot wound at the hands of A. o. Truskett."
 At the araignment Truskett said he was sorry he fired the shots that he had done if before he knew it, but he did what any other man would have done under the Circumstances, He said he had carried revolver since last September, whey, ne said one of Neely's men attempted his life.
