to Kansas Readers.

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. 6.-When Repre-
sentative A. p. Elder goes to the SEES
sion of the legislature next Tuesday'
he will know just about what Franklin
county wants in the way of new laws:
For about two weeks. he has devoted
most of his time to the study OF pro
posed bills, and in conference with the
different interests that will be anecLeo'
IT had no idea,'' said Mr.. Elder,
what was involved in legislation ana
what qualifications of interests there
are am spending most of my even
ings in talks with those who are IN
terested in proposed laws. and am tax
ing every available moment to digest
the great mass Of data that have ac-
c1mulated on laws in which am in
terested.''
Ottawa itself is interested in several
laws, the school board wanting author
ity to issue bonds for new school
house in North Ottawa, and the city
asking for relief from the present paw
ing situation. The city is empowered
to levy a tax aggregating $500 year,
but is spending $4,000 q. year in push
ing the paving. There now is OUT
standing in time warrants about $lS,OOo
or $50, 600, and the city wants power 10
issue bonds to redeem these warrants.
Mr. Elders own particular bill-that
for the care Of habitual drunkards-is
receiving considerable attention and is
being generally commended He is re-
ceiving much data on the question
from the state librarian.
Mr.. Elder learns that the law instead
of operating at a great expense, as has
been loudly claimed, proves remedial
measure, as even a topper who has
abandoned himself to drink has too
much pride left to care to be a public
charge. AS a result, it has been found

feet. that the habitual drunkards are
reforming right along, and that the
Law is proving a most profitable invest

reached by letter. or where he will be

who live under a program of unusual
simplicity. But how close their ideas
are to the creed of Tolstoi is not so
well understood.
While Tolstoi was pleading for a re-

for the title of the most successful

to be found with thei- methods, it is
that they work too hard. And they

living by manual labor. it was all an
old story with the Amish. All of their

Tolstoi cried out against the bar

RELICS TO GO TO UNIVERSITY
Collection of Captain Edward KiliaI
Contains Valuable Specimens.

LeaV enworth, Kan, Jan. En- COM
pliance with his fathers wish, the his
torical collection of Captain Edward
Kilian, formerly resident near this
city, was presented to the University
of Kansas by DR.. A. K. Kilian of Man
haitian, Kan. Captain Kilian lived
near this city a number of years ago.
He lived at the home of his son when
he died. He was well known here
and the collection presented the Uni
versity of Kansas was an object of
much interest to friends here.
The collection consists of about
three hundred specimens of Indian ar
tifact, of fine workmanship and de-
sign, including arrow points, spear
heads, flint. knives, flint tomahawks,
flint hoes, stone mauls, meal grind
ers, fragments of pottery and great
number of scrapers used in the tan
ming Of hides.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
in the collection is a human head
carved in stone, quantity decorated
and about life size. 1t probably was
made to represent war god. The
head has series of small holes drilled
around the top of the skull in which
to stick eagle feathers to form the war
bonnet. The head resembles those
found in Yucatan and resembles Egyp-
tan sculpture
Captain Kilian added much value
to his collection by keeping in a book,
which accompanied the specimens
careful data about the time and place
of finding each article, with drawings
of each specimen from two views, for
identification.

TO PUT DOWN ARTESIAN WELL.
Sherman County First to Take Ad-
vantage of Appropriation.

Goodland, Kan. Jan. 6.-The board OF
county commissioners at their Janu-
airy session on presentation of a petit
ton signed by a majority of the voters
in the county made an appropriation
of $4,000 to put down an artesian well.
This was done under the provisions OF
the law which gives them that right
after such petition has been filed with
them.
The appropriation is made out OF
the general funds of the county, and as
the county is in good financial cond1-
ton there being no indebtedness
against it and several thousand in the
county treasury they have ample funds
to meet the appropriation. Sherman
county is thought to be the first one
to take advantage of the new law.
The well will be drilled on either the
west or the east Of Goodland.
