PREFERRED CREDITORS.

1t is well-established fact that the
worst circumstance accompanying any
period of financial stringency, is that
what money there is goes at once into
hiding, which aggravates the situa-
ton accordingly. We have pointed
this out persistently to our people in
this period of local trouble, and have
urged upon all, as a duty and as a
common-sense procedure to do every
thing possible to keep money in cir
culation. We believe that many have
taken this advice by promptly paying
their bills. 1t is to be regretted that
the Police Jury and the School Board
have not adopted this policy. The
former, when the local bank failed,
and its funds were tied up, permitted
80 days to elapse before making any
provision whatever for meeting It's
outstanding warrants, and at its last
meeting when the matter was tardily
taken up, $4,000 only were borrowed,
which sum was exhausted before the
close of the first day thereafter. The
published minutes show that warrants
were issued at September and Octo-
Der meetings, aggregating over $47O0.
The amount borrowed was short near.
ly $500.
1t would have been simple matter
for the Police Jury to have calculated
the amount of warrants drawn for
August and September and have Dor
rowed that sum at least. This obvi-
Gus course would have given equal
justice to all of it's creditors, whereas
those of the latter, who did not go hot
footed to the depository, are left I'M.
paid. And just so far, in turn must
their creditors also wait.
To be fair however, we believe that
this course was due more to oversight
than intention on the part of the Pc.
lice Jury. 1t would probably not have
occurred had the amount OF warrants
drawn been footed up by the clerk, as
was formerly done, and in fact Is US
ually done in all financial reports
Whatever. The Jury could then have
seen at a glance what amount was
needed to meet current obligations.
The School Board pursued like
policy at its last meeting in borrow
ling only a sufficient amount to meet
the first payroll of the teachers, leav
ling all others to whom payment wal
Idue to wait for their money. We sub
INIT that this was not fair. While thu
teachers should not go unpaid, there

than half of the voting strength Of the

was held in the 9Th ward. The result
was: w. L. Stirling, 131; Elrie Rob

Abilene is in the second zone from

they can reach practically every

FORFEIT CHARTERS OF TWO
DICKINSON CORPORATIONS

The charters of the Acme Cream
cry company and the Home Te1e.
phone and Telegraph company, Dick.
inson county corporations, were re-
voked at a special meeting of the
state charter board in Topeka yes
terday, because they failed to file
an annual statement as the law re-
quires. Charters OF 100 other Kan
sas companies were forfeited.
Both the Dickinson corporations
have ceased business. The creamery
has passed through a receivership
and the Home Telephone Co. has
been sold to the Bell Telephone Co.
To be reinstated the companies
will have to make new applications
for charters and pay the full charter
fee. There are now about 1000 cor
porations chartered in Kansas, about
500 of them being foreign corpora
tons. This does not include cor
porations not organized for profit,
such as churches and lodges.

VICTORY FOR CITY
Llll VI .-lh ~. \
JUDGE KING REFUSES TO GRANT
BROWN AN INJUNCTION.
Holds That Validity OF Ordinance
Cannot he Tested by Injunc-
ton Proceedings-Dam-
age Suit Later.

In a decision handed down today
r. L. King. Judge of the district
court. refused the petition of Oscar
Brown for an injunction against the
city Of Abilene restraining the en-.
forcement Of the ordinance pro-
hibiting the transportation OF trac.
ton engines and other heavy ma.
chinery over the pavement.
Judge King held that the validity
OF ordinances could not be tested by
Injunction proceedings. In his petit
tion Brown asked the injunction on
the grounds that the ordinance was
unreasonable, and was aimed direct
ly at him. According to local at
torneys the only manner In which
the ordinance can be tested is for
some one to violate 1t, and maks
himself liable to arrest.
The suit OF Brown for $1,000
damages from the city will be heard
at the September term of court.
Brown asks the damages for alleged
injury done to his business.
The case is an outgrowth OF a
dispute between Brown and the city
officials several weeks ago. Mar
shall Engle, acting on orders of the
mayor, refused to permit Brown 10
run his threshing engine across the,
intersection at Third and Elm.
streets without planking. Brown
summoned his attorney, David
Richie of salina. Finally the street
was planked and the suit was filed
next day. The city ordinance pro-
hibits. unrestrictedly, machinery on
the pavements, but the city execu-
tives have permitted crossing when
planks were used.

MRS. SCHROCK TOLD OF
LIFE OF MICHAEL ANGELO

Yesterday morning at the library
Mrs. w. H. Schrock, in her usual
happy manner, acquainted an inter
ested group of children with the life
of Italy's poet, artist, engineer. ar
chitest, and master sculptor, Mi,0,ae
Angelo. She wildly described the
care-free childhood of the little boy
happily playing among the stone
workers on his fathers, estate, his
contentious studio life begun when
he was only twelve years old among
students whose envy and cruelty
were aroused by his superiority, his
long after years of struggle against
the envious, his yet triumphant car
eer and almost miraculous works.
Mrs. Schrock then exhibited pic
lures of the artist himself, of his
Moses and other masterpieces in
marble, of his wonderful dome of
st. Peters cathedral, Of his Marvel-
Gus paintings in the Sistine chapel,
and simply and clearly pointed out
the striking features of each work.
From the life of this various genius
she drew the lesson of the triumph |
Of industry and ability over all OBJ
stacles.
