Lots of AppIes In Kansas.

Topeka, Kan-According to Walter
Wellhouse, secretary of the Kansas
State Horticultural Society, the pros
poets for the Kansas apple crop OF
1912 are better than they have been
for several years. Not a single ad'
verse report has been received up to
date by the department of horticul'
ture. Mr.. Wellhouse says there will
be some peaches in Kansas this year,
and enough in the Northwest, West
ern and Southern parts Of the state
for home consumption, and probably
some to ship from the southern tier
of counties, judging from the pres
ent outlook From Fort Scott west as
far as Harper county he has had re-
ports of fair peach prospects.

Special Study of PeIIasra.

A special appropriation has been
made by Governor w. R. Stubbss to
enable the department of entomology
of the University of Kansas to carry
on Investigations to discover the caus'
alton and prevention of the disease
known as pellagra. The appropriation
was secured through the efforts OF
Dean S. ]. Crumbine of the school
of medicine. Since 1776, when the
Patriotic Society of Milan offered a
prize for the determination of the
cause an immense amount of work
has been done, but as yet the real
cs~se is unknown The investigation
at the university will be conducted
along the sand fly theory of Sambon.
In the entomology laboratory an artl.
ficial stream has been constructed in
order to bred the sand fly which ac'
cording to his theory carries the dis
ease. w. 7. Emery of the. entomol,
ogy staff will carry on the investiga-
ton this summer and the rest of the
year The disease has become only
recently a question of importance to
Kansas, the first case being discover.

BEST SCHOOL Books
KANSAS OFFICIALS SAY
Are Satisfied They Are Better Than
Any Before Selected For Children
of This State.

Topeka Kan.-The Kansas state Of
school books is the best the Kansas
children have ever had to study. They
are confident that the books selected
are the best offered. Some members
Of the commission voted against the
Wooster readers as they did not like
them as well as the readers for the
first three grades in another series,
but the majority of the commission
thought the Wooster readers were the,
best offered and that the entire set Is
the best list any state has ever secured
for the price. In Oklahoma and Tex
as the Krohn & Crumbine physiology
is sold at nearly double the price
Kansas pays for the book.
81 have talked with several educa-
tors and with members of the commits
sion and all thought the commission
had selected an elegant set Of books"
said Governor Stubbs. 81 had dozen
we'll known Kansas school people.
county and city superintendents and
teachers and educators go over the
books thoroughly and sent their re-
ports to the commission. The commits
sion and these educators agreed on
almost every book"
81 was glad to see so many Kansas
authors get places in the selection of
the books" said John Dawson, attor-
ney general. That's what helps Kan
sas education a great deal. The Kan.
sas people know the school conditions
and what is needed and they get out
books that fit in Kansas, instead OF
getting out a set of books for the en-
tire country. The books of the Kan
sas authors are good ones as | have
like the best set of books we ever
had"
"The commission worked harder
than any other commission | have
worked with and think We got an ex-
cellent set of books" said e. 7. Fair
child, state superintendent "The
books are a wonderful improvement
over any we have had and | think
they are the best we had an opportun-
ity to select. | did not vote for ev-
cry book selected but the judgment of
the commission is betetr than that of
any single member and l am thor
oughly satisfied"
The arithmetic was the book against
which most of the objections against
the Kansas text books were raised. An
entirely new set was picked, except
the mental arithmetic No physics was
selected as none was offered that was
worth the money The publishers of
the book used formerly admitted that
it was not worth much and the other
publishers said their books were not
worth much, either. Fifty cents is
too small a price to get good ply.

REPORT OF AUDITOR
WRITTEN IN 1859
Even Then the Territorial Official
Wanted an Increase in Salary.

Will Davis, state auditor, has made
a discovery. 1t was a report to the
legislature by the territorial auditor
of Kansas In 1859 and 1t is really
quite an interesting document. The
report was written on ordinary FOOLS
cap paper and In long hand AS far
as known no copies ever were printed.
The report was made by H. 1. Strick-
ler, the territorial auditor at that
time. One of his chief recommends
tions sounds quite familiar to those
who read the reports Of state officers.
1t asks that the salary of the auditor
be increased from eight hundred to
fifteen hundred dollars year and that
all fees should be turned into the ter
ritorial treasury If any are permitted
Auditor Strickler says, II don't think
there should be no such thing as fees.
The report shows that Kansas had
taxable valuation of over fifteen mil
lion dollars at that time. Eleven coun-
ties only reported property for taxa
ton. Leavenwroth had total valua-
tion OF 81, 4,655, ,363.20. Doniphan county
reported only personal and no real
property and it's personal property was
worth $342,122. The total moneys col
lected for territorial expenses in 1853
was $77,995.66 and the total expenses
for the year were $62,09.25. The fol-
lowing were the counties organized in
Kansas at that time: Usage, Lykins,
Linn. Leavenworth, Morris, Douglas,
Anderson, Doniphan, Wyandotte,
Bourbon, jefferson, Brown, Nemaha,
Marshall. Pottawatomie, Jackson,
Atchison, Johnson, Shawnee, Wabaun-
see, Davis, Chase, Breckenridge, Mad
ison, Coffee, Butler, Woodson, Frank
lin, Allen and Riley.

Kansas Boy Prisoner.

Wichita. KAN. c. WILDER, former
ly merchant here, who has hacien-
da in Mexico near Micos, which is a
short distance from Tampico, informs
relatives here that his place had been
raided and burned by guerallas recent
ly and his 1S-year-old boy kidnapped.
He has been unable to find trace of
the boy and says he believes he has
been killed. The country in the vi
cinity of the WILDER hacienda is filled
with Mexican rebels, Mr.. WILDER says,
and there is danger all the time that
innocent Americans will be killed. He
is preparing to return to wichita with
his family. The son had spoken OF
Americas superiority over Mexico.

Must Have State License.

Chiropractors and other healers OF
the same nature must have licenses
from tha state board of medical regis
tration and examination before being
allowed to practice in Kansas. The
supreme court affirmed the convic-
ton of J. N. Peters, chiropractor
of Smith county, and ordered him to
pay fine for practicing without a
license. The court held affirming his
conviction, that anyone who profess
ed to treat sick and diseased people,
maintained an office for that purpose,
and treated patients for the cure and
relief Of bodily infirmities or dis
eases, by examination of the person
and by rubbing the parts of the body
supposed to be affected, doing this as
a business for fees" is subject to the
law requiring medical examination.
The court further held that the eX-
emption in the law creating the board
of medical examination so that it
would not interfere with religious be-
lief, does not apply to those who prac-
tice medicine by rubbing the body and
accepting fees therefor, although he
believes that the words of Jesus in
regard to healing can be carried out,
and that from Bible study and supple
mental study of psychology and sug-
gestive therapeutics he can, to some
extent, carry out such healing prac-
tees and that 1t is his duty to do So"

Monument to Be Dedicated May 80.

Topeka, Kan.-The programme has
been completed for the dedication on
Memorial day, May 30, of the monu-
ment erected in the Topeka cemetery
to the memory of the late General
Manager ]. e. Hurley, of the Santa
Fe railroad. The monument to be
dedicated is forty feet seven inches
high and is Of Vermont granite. 1t
was purchased with fund subscrib-
ed by employees Of the Santa Fe. The
subscriptions were sent to James E..
Thomas, locomotive engineer at To-
peka, who had been appointed treasur-
er of the fund. "The money" said
Mr.. Thomas, "came in small sums
ranging from 10 cents to 81. The
geenral plan of having the subscrip-
tions small in order that large num-
Der could participate, was followed
closely, and no large sums were re-
ceived." The fund amounted to 81
801.

Assets, Cash and Health.

Lawrence, Kan.-"A heal certifi-
cate should be attached to every mar
riage license issued and no one should
be allowed to marry who has no Wis
ible means of support" said Professor
F. w. Blackmar of the sociology de-
partment of the University OF Kansas.
Professor Blackmar also stated that
the divorce evil of today may, in a
large measure, be attributed to the
lax marriage laws and that the only
cure is to make these laws more
strict. "Untils recent years these
problems have been neglected and left
to romance and love to cure" contin-
ued Professor Blackmar. "The time
is coming when we must mix little
reason and judgment with love and
do away with much of the false mod
esty which has so long prevented
proper treatment of social conditions.

REFUSED TO SENTENCE
22 CHEROKEE JOlNTlSTS
Dawson Brings Suit Against Sapp to
Compel Him to Sentence Them.

The twenty-five cases against joint
lists of Cherokee county who pleaded
guilty to violations of the prohibitory
law are to be appealed to the supreme
court. Judge e. e. Sapp refused to
send these men to Jail but when they
pleaded guilty he suspended sentence
and ordered them to report to him at
the court sessions this month The
jointists, of course, cannot engage In
the joint business while the court is
holding up the sentence against them
but they are not being punished for
the crime for which they were ar
rested.
John S. Dawson, attorney general,
has returned from Columbus where he
asked Judge Sapp to sentence the
twenty-five jointists to serve term
in Jail and pay the fines and costs in
the case. Judge Sapp refused to do
this and the attorney general at once
began the preparations to take the
cases to the supreme court. The coun-
ty has to pay the costs in these cases
unless Judge Sapp sentences the joint
its to Jail or to pay the fine and costs.
The attorney general has filed a
supplemental petition in the manda-
mus suit to compel Judge Sapp to pass
sentence on the Jointists. The COVER
nor ordered that the mandamus action
be brought and since it was filed In
the supreme court Judge Sapp has re-
fused to pronounce sentence second
time and this has been made part
of the original action. The facts in
the suit are all completed and the at
torney general has asked for judg-
ment from the court at once. This
will be heard next month.
