Forty athletes will clash in

o'clock with the featherweights.
Kimball of the naval militia

be three heavyweight events.

mer will meet Schmeal. The
winners of these two bouts will
meet in the finals.

matched. states Carroll

Bowman, the holder of the first
mortgage, agreed to let the Sec

Mr.. Bowman denies having been
a party to such an agreement.

Bowman. The case will be wat
ched with interest by Mr.. Bow

Margaret Elsie Gam BILE, daugh-
ter of Geo. p. and Cora G. Gam
BILE, aged II years, 10 months,
and 4 days, died near Uneda,
Meade county, Kansas, Jan. 10,
1918.
Elsie accepted Jesus as her
Savior in early childhood and
lived faithful and lovely Christ
ian lite to the end.
The natural sweetness of her
disposition, refined and beauti-
fed by grace, made her model
in all, the relationships of life,
as daughter, sister, friend or
acquaitances, always seeming to
forget herself, she lived to help
and bless and comfort others.
On Saturday evening Dec. IA,
during revival services that were
being held at the Fairview School
House. She sought aud received
by faith. Christs baptism with
Holy Spirit; and from that time
she seemed to live in a halo of
the Divine presence, so that to
her own family, as we'll as others
her life, that before had been
beautiful became radiant as with
the light of Heaven.
She was a member of Metho.
dist Episcopal church, and for
much of the past year had been
our faithful and efficient Sunday
School Superintendent presiding
at once with Christian dignity
and sweet maidenly modesty.
The great suffering of her
brief sickness we're borne with
true Christian fortitude.
The whole community has
been plunged into sorrow, and to
those who know her as a sister
in Christ, as we'll as to her rela-
tlves, the blow has come as a
personal bereavements, but to
her we know it has been a trans
lation to eternal glory.
The funeral services held at
the home, conducted by Rev.
Mrs. Marion Mendenhall, were
attended by large concourse of
real mourners.
Interment was made in the
Rock School House Cemetery. X

PETITION
PRESENTED
Asking For Establishment
of Star Route in the South
Part of County

Last Monday the committee
appointed by the Commercial
Club, composed of S. D. Adams,
J. l. Stamper, o. R. Stevens, and
Geo w. Day, met for the purpose
of discussing the Star route to
Uneda question. A petition
bearing the signatures of one
hundred fifty residents of the
effected district was presented
to the committee.
Uneda is less than twenty
miles south of Meade. but since
the star route has been discon-
tinued. the mail coming from
there must first be taken to For
gan, Oklahoma, then to Liberal,
and then to Meade. This trans
fer of mail requires three days
time, and the return of mail re-
quires the same length of time,
thus it will be seen that these
people who live within twenty
miles of the county seat must
wait six days to get a letter here
and back.
A letter to Congressman Geo.
A. Neeley, setting forth the dis.
advantages incurred by the dis
continuance of the Beaver mail
route was written by the COM
mittee and together with the pc.
tition was sent in. The matter
will be presented by Mr.. Neeley
to the Post Office department
and it is hoped that relief will be
forthcoming.
Many persons have the idea
that the post Office officials here
will have information in advance
as to the action of the post office
department in this matter,
This is a mistake. In the event
that the route is re-established
government representative will
be sent here who will GO over the
territory in question, lay out the
route and advertise for bids
from those who care to bid on
carrying the mail.
Both the citizens of Meade and
the residents who have petitioned
for the establishment of a route
are anxiously awaiting the ac-
ton of the department.
The claim is just one and
will no doubt be given due con-
sideration.

The senate yesterday passed
Taylor Riddles bill to repeal the
inheritance tax law, the only
thing necessary to kill the pres
ent inheritance tax law being
the signature of Governor Hodg-
es, who has already pledged him.
self to work for the repeal of the
measure. The Riddle bill, which
the house already had passed,
was substituted in the senate
yesterday for the Stavely bill for
purposes of expediency.
Considerable argument in COM
mittee of the whole attended the
senate's action in voting to re-
peal the inheritance tax law. A
number of senators declared in
favor of refunding all money col
lected during the four years that
the present law has been in force
to the heirs to whom it otherwise
would have gone. Senator Wag.
gener proposed a formal amend
ment to tnis effect, which he en-
deavored to have tackled on the
Riddle bill, but without success
Senator J. H. Stavely declared in
favor of not loading up the bill
to repeal the inheritance tax with
a lot of amendments, recommend
ing the refunding of money col
llected under this tax be left t.
later action by the legislature, Il
Int is decided to do this.
Although the fate of the pres
ent inheritance tax law is sealed
it is the belief of many members
of the Legislature that another in
heritance tax law, to tax only col
lateral heirs and to exempt al
direct and immediate heirs, will
be introduced later during the
session, and they believe that
such modified bill will be pass
ed. 1t has been the tax levied
against direct heirs which has re-
suited in most of the antagonism
towards this law.-Topeka Cap
