TEACHERS PENSIONS
IN MANY LANDS
Facts Collected by the Federal Bureau
of Education Discussed in
Bulletin.

Are pensions in general wise?
Should a state pension it's workers?
Should it pay pensions to teachers
any more than to any other class OF
employees?
These are questions discussed in a
bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau Of Education. The i'm
mediate purpose of the bulletin Is
to describe the pension system of
Great Britain, but in the course OF
the study Raymond w. Sizes. the auth
or, takes occasion to discuss the prin-
ciples underlying all pensions. and
especially teachers pensions in the
United States.
Teachers pensions and pension
systems, according to DR.. Sizes, rep
resent one phase OF what has become
a universal movement among civi,
lized peoples-a movement to ."dis
pose OF the superannuated and dis
abled individual and to rob old age
OF it's economic terrors." Pension
for school teachers, he points out
have existed in Germany in some
form or other for two or three cen
turtles, and in other European coun
tries for the better part of 3 century

plan, the teachers making no contri-
buttons whatsoever In France the
teachers are heavily assessed to keep
the pension system going. In the
United States the tendency is to ask
small contributions from the teach
ers. AS a permanent arrangement DIR.
Sizes favors the German plan, not be-
cause he thinks 1t any more gener-,
Gus to the teachers, but because he
considers 1t better business for the
state to finance and manage the sys-
TEN itself He shows that in any
event the burden is ultimately shift
ed to the teachers.
While admitting, therefore, that
contributions may be necessary to
start substantial pension system,
he believes they should be discontin-
ued as soon as possible. In his opin-
ion contributions from teachers as a
permanent feature not only add moth
ing to the effectiveness of pension
plan, but they Introduce needless
completely, they are source OF con,
slant irritation and misunderstanding
and they are responsible for vast
amount Of unnecessary bookkeeping
and other clerical work" DR.. Sizes
concludes with a strong recommends
ton for a noneontributory system
for American teachers.

ENTIRE FAMILY MISSING.
Mcpherson People Disappear But
Leave Stock to StaIVe.


Mcpherson, Kan. Sept. 3O.-What
appears to be a mysterious disappear
anCe of a family northeast of Galva
occurred a week ago when the DeBolt
family appears to have quietly left
the country and none of the neighbors
seem to know where they might have
gone.
The last seen of Mr.. DeBolt was on
Friday. Monday morning neighbors
coming to the house found it locked
and on investigation saw that the
household goods had been largely re-
moved. The stock, consisting of some
horses. chickens and cattle, were
there, hungry and thirsty.
The neighbOrs investigated and as
near as they can tell he packed up
Saturday and left Sunday morning.
Their destination is not known, all
though railroad bills at Canton show
that last week he shipped some goods
to Arkansas, where relatives live.
Whether he shipped them there and
will follow with the family is not
known.
1t is commonly supposed that he
felt blue and thinking that he could
not make ends meet made up his mind
to leave what he had and go where
he could start afresh. 1t is known
that he owes considerable. He had
plowed ground for wheat where he
had rented but could not pay this
years lease in advance as the con-
tract provided for and had been
urgently requested to do this. Court
proceedings have been commenced by
cerditorS against the property he left.

Bale Waggener, as Toll Col
IectOr, Heard Lawyers Appeal.
Went Home to Study Law
KansanS Realize His Success.

Atchison. Kan, Sept. 3O--A ~
year-old country lad earning few
dollars a week as tollkeeper OF
turnpike between Weston and Platte
| City. Mo-, in 1866 became dissatisfied
| with his vocation one afternoon when
he sat in the courtroom of Justice
| of the peace in Weston and listened
| to a speech to jury made by the
| late James n. BurneS of St. Joseph,
then a young lawyer, but later one OF
| Missouri's most distinguished men.
The lad went home that night with a
high opinion of the legal profession
That speech by Burnes had driven a
notion into his head that he wanted
to become a lawyer and he couldn t
get rid of it. Thus started the career
of Kansas most distinguished law
yer and lover of children, Bale P.
Waggener. The rise of the young
man, who in late years has been
spending fortune annually to enter
tain twenty thousand or more of the
children of eastern Kansas and west
ern Missouri, and who, because of it,
has become the most loved man in
Kansas, was rapid.
Sept 5, 1866, Waggener began the
study of law in the law office of Otis
& Click in Atchison and in less than
a year he was admitted to the bar.
In ten years after he began the study
of law he was recognized as one or
the foremost members of the bar in
the west. In 1876 he became gen.
eraI attorney for the Gould roads and
is now general solicitor for the same
roads in Kansas, Colorado, and Ne
braska He has been continually in
the employ of the company since
1875.
Besides his busy life as an attorney,
B. p. Waggener has found time to
devote to politics and finance. In
1892 he was elected mayor of Atcni-
son and served two terms. In 1898
he came within one vote of being
elected United States senator to fill
the unexpired term of Preston b.
Plumb, despite the fact that the
Democrats had four votes and the
Republicans seventy nine. He has
served one term in the legislature and
is now serving his second term as
state senator. At present his friends
States senator next year and he will
likely get in the race If his health
permits. Financially Waggener is well
fixed. He is president of the largest
bank in northeastern Kansas and is
interested in other large institutions.
He owns one of the largest and finest
alfalfa farms in the west and IS a
recognized authority on alfalfa.
Waggener's private law library in
his home, consisting of more than
ten thousand volumes, is the largest
west of the Mississippi river. He also
has miscellaneous library of more
than two thousand volumes
WagGener was born July IS, 1S47,
near Rldgely, Mo.

Nobody Can Tell When You Darker
Gray. Faded Hair With Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe
ready to use, for about so cents This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dand-
ruff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeths Sage and
sulphur, because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly and nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's SO easy to use,
too You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears; af-
tire another application or two, it is
restored to it's natural color and looks
glossy. soft and abundant.-Adv.

ELECTION TO PREVENT oUs1E1.
Citizens of Douglass Vote Bonds to
Cover Shortage in Contract.

Douglass, Kan, Sept. 30.-Upon the
votes of the residents of Douglass,
Kan, Butler county, rests the out
come of an custer suit against DIR. N
e. Wilson and w. S. Ho1dren, two
members of the board of education
A. T. Ayres, judge of the Thirteenth
judicial district, effected a compromise
at noon Friday in that the suit should
be determined by the people them
selves at a special election to be held
on Tuesday, October Z.
This suit is the outcome of the
building of a new school house in
Douglass. When the contract for the
school building was let it was to cost
$23,5 500. MessrS. Holden and Wilson
were the principals in letting the con-
tract After the building had been
completed and the cost figured it was
found that the building had cost $27,-
500, $4,000 more than the contract
price. The payment of this extra S4,-
600 created dissension in the school
board, with Holden and Wilson hold
ing that it should be paid. Upon their
vote the amount was paid.

THE GREATEST ANNOYANCE Of SHOPPING
IS THE JUST As GOOD" ARTICLE
Insist on Genuine Herpicide

To be sure there are not many deal
ers who push something just as
good" when the advertised article is
requested. Still what few there are
should know that by their policy they
are destroying the customers conf
dence and perhaps losing business.
The most effective rebuke is not to
wait for the story, simply hunt a store
where they will sell you what you
want
The dealer who states that a prepar-
alton is as good as Herpicide is not
sincere, he doesn't believe it himself
