Efforts of w. r. c.

Beloit, Kan. May 26.-Weather per-
hitting, Decoration day will be more
generally observed here than for a
number of years past This is due in

courthouse. During the forenoon
hours the graves of the old comrades

possibilities of craftsmanship of modern
arms and ammunition in the hands Of

In the most remarkable exhibition of
rifle shooting ever given, Mr.. Topper

by an assistant, missing only nine out
of the entire lot and only four out Of
the first $4,000. During the shooting he
made straight runs of 1850, 1889,
10 1872 1929 and 1888. Considering the
almost incredible score and the tremen-
dous strain of such incessant shooting.
1t is unlikely that this record will
ever be beaten.
Mr.. Topperwein uses no special
equipment, shooting regular cartridges

Besides being a wonderful wing and
fancy shot, Mrs. Topperwein is a con-
sistent shooter at the traps and has
won many high averages in open COM
petitions, shooting against the best
professional i'd amateur shots in the
world. Among her scores are 1913 in

FRATs FIGHT TAXATION.
Kansas University Societies Will At
tempt to Break New Law.

Lawrence. Kan, May 26.-The sit
uation of the fraternities at the Uni
versity of Kansas will be extremely
peculiar if the county authorities car
ry out their proposed plan of testing
the law exempting fraternities from
taxation. According to the ruling of
the state tax commission, the property
must belong to the alumni before it
can be taxed.
AS the matter now stands, it will be
up to the fraternities to take some
action when the tax collector comes
around. The property has been Or
dered to be assessed. County Attor~
hey Annex, VINO has been pushing the
matter, believes that the fraternities
are not exempt from taxation, under
the law which appears in the gen.
eral statutes of 1909.

VOTES ILLEGAL IN BARTON.
Many UnnaturaIized Foreigners Cast
Ballot Regularly.

Great Bend, Kan, May EFT is
believed here that there are hundreds
of men and women in this section of
Kansas who unconsciously cast illegal
ballots at every election. 1t is well
known that hundreds of Germans,
Russians, Bohemians and other for
eigners who settled here in the early
days, failed to complete naturaliza-
ton, though taking the first papers.
Their children cannot legally vote.
Neither can wives of their sons legally
cast a ballot under the recent suffrage
law. They register and vote regularly
by common consent but it is feared the
matter will be called to question in
some important close election and an
effort is being made to alleviate the
situation by a general naturalization
campaign.
