Yet With Half Million Debts
Sinking Fund Is Opposed.

Despite the fact that the Topeka
board of education has paid in IL
terest on three distinct bond issues
more, and in two of the cases more
than half as much again. as the origi-
nal face of the bonds, not cent has
been raised for sinking fund to pro-
vide for the final settlement of these
bonds. all OF which will be due in the
next few years.
And not only that but the records
in the office of the clerk of the board
show that the board has refunded
refunding bonds twice already, and is
threatening to do SO again in a pro-
posed refunding bond issue to take
care of bonds now over due.

ant matter Of preaching the same
Gospel and worshiping the same
God, but differing In minor matters
of form Of government and less es-
sential matters OF creed, means di-
vision where there should be united
effort. Especially in such case as
exists in Jewell where the field war
rants only one church instead Of
three. the differences naturally be-
come more pronounced between
church denominations. We're the
field amply large to fully support
all three churches, three separate
denominations could work together
in greater harmony than Is possible
under present conditions. The lack
OF SUFFICIENT numbers to warrant di-
vision intensifes differences when
the division exists.
The Record welcomes the move
ment towards church union, and SIM
cerely hopes that the ultimate re-
suit may be union Of these three
denominations into one, and the re-
sulting permanent continuation Of
the present feeling Of harmony and
union that seems to prevail.

VOTING CONTEST
IS CALLED OFF
Attorney Generals Letter Stops Pro
ceedings at Iowa Falls
Under Lottery Law.

Iowa Falls, Jan. 3.The old say
Ing that at Is an. i'll wind that does
not blow some one some good," was
verified again here yesterday when
County Attorney Bryson interfered
in a piano contest arranged by q To-
cal merchant, resulting In the
award according to the number OF
votes polled by various candidates,
being called of.
For several weeks there has been
a strong rivalry among a number
of candidates to SECURE the first
prize, piano, and the second cash
prize of $50. Just as the poll Of the
votes was about to be made and the
result announced, Attorney Bryson
appeared on the scene with a letter
from the attorney generals Office
and the majority decided that 1t was
best not to proceed with the social
ed contest and involve the merchant
In litigation for violation Of the rul-
ing by the states attorney.
: It was then agreed that the piano
should be donated to the Edgewood
School OF Domestic Science In this
city and the cash prize to the super
of Ellsworth hospital, to
be used in purchasing supplies for
that institution.

Williams Wasp: Ray. eldest son
OF Col. and Mrs. ]. r. Franklin. had
the misfortune last Monday evening
OF nearly having his tongue taken
off. He was playing with some OF
his mates, when they dared him TO
place his tongue against the iron
post in front of ]. p. Talcott's hard
ware store. The iron post was chilli
ed with frost, and when Ray placed
his tingue against the post. 1t at
once stuck there and could not be
pulled loose Matt Campbell was
the first to see him In his distress
ed position and at once secured some
hot water and got the little fellow
loose. At first It was thought he
was severely hurt, as blood Wa
streaming down over the post and
his clothes. but after he was clean
ed up. 1t was found that very little
skin was taken from the tongue.
and he was alright.
