NOTES OF SENATE
State Revolving Fund of $780,
900 for Local Fairs.
To Give Topeka $4,000 for the
Paving Debt.

For the purpose of encouraging To-
cal and county fairs over the state,
Senator Davis of Bourbon county has
introduced a bill in the senate appro-
priating $25, 900 for a revolving fund
which will be used to aid in offering
premiums to exhibitors.
The fund will develop the agricul-
tural, horticultural, mechanical, min
eraI dairying stock raising and in
dustrial pursuits of the state and will
provide an addition to the premiums
of the fairs not to exceed so per cent
of the premiums offered by the local
association in charge OF the exhibits.
The kansas fair board will have
charge of the granting of premiums
and the geenral supervision of local
fairs over the state. The board will
be made up of the secretary of the
state board of agriculture, the Secre
tary of the state board of horticulture,
the president of the State Agricultural
college, the president of the Improved
stock Breeders association and a
farmer.
This bill is construed by many sena-
tors to mean that another obstacle
has been placed in the path of the
boosters of the Topeka and Hutchin-
son state fairs. If the state appro-
priates S25.00O to aid county and local
fairs. it will have little Ieniency for
state fair appropriation. Further
more, there are many members of the
upper house who believe strongly in
the value of county fairs.
Senator Gray of Osborne county has
placed another weight on the prohibi-
ton lid in Kansas by a bill introduced

HEAR GAL BERNARD" THE BOY
FROM DIXIE AT THE LoMo.
PLAYING TENNIS BY NIGHT

a year or two ago a young illiminat-
ing engineer, who was very fond of
tennis, bemoaned his ill-fortune that he
was unable to find the time to play his
taVorite game. He was so busy that he
could not get away for as many after.
Moons play as he would like. One day
1t occurred to him that the tennis
court might be illuminated with cleo
trio lamps SO that it would be entirely
possible to play the game at night
The advent of the new metal filament
Mazda incandescent lamps, which give
a powerful. soft white light at low cost,
really made this possible.
After little figuring he determined
upon the amount of light necessary,
the size of lamps and the proper shades
to illuminate an ordinary tennis court.

COVINGTON 90.
HAS SENSATION
MANY PROMINENT CITIZENS IN.
DlcTED BY GRAND JURY AT
LAST TERM OF COURT.
Special to The Netps.


Seminary, Miss, July 2l.--Hon. w
H. Hughes adjourned the circuit court
Saturday after two weeks term
during which many cases were dispos-
ed of, the docket being almost cleared
of all pending cases. The expense was
the least to the taxpayers that it per
haps has ever been in this county.
The grand jury was adjourned after
making its final report Twenty-Five
indictments We're returned, some of
which were against some of the most
prominent citizens of Covington coun-
ty, including each member of the pres
ent as well as the old board of super
visors. 1t is also reported that a num-
Der of the road-overseers, contractors
and road commissioners are among
those indicted.
Owing to the number of officials in
dicted and the seriousness of the
charges against them profound SEN
sation was caused and everybody is
guessing at the outcome.
1t has been a common saying among
some people for many months that
crookedness and graft were tolerated
in high places and that on account of
the prominence of some parties con-
nected with the county's affairs no in
dictments could be gotten. This, how
ever, is denied by those who are famil-
lar with the county's affairs. They as
sert that the greatly embarrassed con-
dition of the county at present was
brought about on account of eXpendi
lures in the erection of a modern
court house and Jail at an expense Of
a hundred thousand dollars. several
new steel bridges and other necessary
improvements. This is veheminantly
denied by the opposing faction who as.
sert that the bonds that were sold for
this improvement are yet almost Who'll
ly unpaid.
The present board of supervisors, in
order to appease the wrath of the pub
lie, made requisition on the Governor
some months ago to send a special &C
countant to this county to audit the
books of all officials and ascertain
any Irregularities that might exist, and
before the auditor arrived minute book
number six, covering the acts of the
board for more than two years, miracu-
lously and mysteriously disappeared
and is yet unaccounted for notwith-
standing the fact that two grand juries
have diligently probed for it.
1t is stated that warrents have been
served on those indicted and bonds
made for their appearance at the Jan
uary term of the circuit court and that
counsel has been retained to represent
the accused.
The indictments charge among other
things that the board received and
approved the report of various road
overseers without ascertaining the cor
rectness of the report, that they DUR
chased stationery and let contracts
without advertising for competitive
bids as the law directs, and various
other things constituting misreasance
in office
