THAT BRYAN SPECIAL.
Auditor Davis Does Not Think x. q.
Should Have Pad for II.

For a special train to carry Winiam
Jennings Bryan from Kansas City to
Lawrence to address Kansas univer-
sity students, the state paid $50. ac-
cordinx to a voucher filed today with
State Auditor w. e. Davis. The money
was paid from q special fund provided
for the educational board under pro-
visions of section 4, chapter s. session
laws of 1919, and since a portion Of
this fund was already in the hands
Of the state university, there was no
opportunity to hold up the claim.
In a letter sent today to George o.
Foster, secretary OF the university,
Auditor Davis advises the university
that the state Is not in the habit of
providing special trains for men to
come to Kansas to address college
students and that in the future claims
for speakers expenses are to be given
the closest scrutiny. The Bryan
speech was made the afternoon Of
January s, preceding the secretary Of
states address in Topeka. He was
taken from Kansas City to Lawrence
on a special train over the Union Pa.
cific. The only members of the party
were Secretary Bryan. Chancellor
Strong, Miles H. Mulroy. president Of
the Democratic club, and Senator
James Malone OF Rawlins county.
University heads have paid the q.
pense Of the Bryan special train from
funds in their possession and state Of.
ficiAls now have no chance to hold uD
the claim.

Does EIeonor's
Mother Oppose
Wedding McAdoo
REPORTED THAT MRS. WILSON
pIsAPPRovEs MATCH BECAUSE
OF sEcRETARv's AGE.

Washington, March 19.-The course
of true love that resulted in the an
nouncement of Eleanor Wilson's en-
gagement to Secretary of the Treas
ury Williams Gibbs McAdoo is not
running smoothly, if society gossips OF
the Capital have any knowledge OF
what they are whispering among them
selves with alarming frequency.
Report has it that Miss Wilson,
youngest daughter of the President, is
to wed the chief of the Treasury De-
partment over the direct opposition
of her mother. Mrs. Wilson cares
nothing for Mr.. McAdoo's position,
and, it is understood, opposes the
match because of Mr.. McAdoo's ad-
vanced age. He is a fifty-four year
old widower with six children, while
Miss Elanor is only "a. Not only
that, but up to a year ago when she
entered the White House with her
father, the youngest Wilson girl had
Z oOOh put q ilttiC vi InC WOilu. IlCi
life had been spent in University
atmosphere, and she had known little
of society. She has enjoyed the So
cial life of Washington more than
either of her sisters, and many of her
friends regret that she should end her
young ladyhood so early.
Miss Wilson wears her engagement
rim and shows it on all occasions. 1t is
particularly striking blue white stone
that must weigh more than six carets
1t is in direct contrast with the ring
: Frances Sayre gave Jessie Wilson
pure white stone that weighed nj
:. more than one caret.
Indications are that all of the fou
n young ladies who occupied the Whit
/, House since President Wilson's incum
, bency and have led the social life O
the nation since then will have select
ed husbands before another year ha
passed.
1t is generally conceded that Mis-
Margaret Wilson, eldest of the thre
:, White House girls, is engaged to
. young New Jersey man, although sh
. wears no ring and denies that he
- promise has been given.
y DR.. Cary Grayson, the President
N private physician, has been marks

g who has been almost as conspicuo'

Surveyor j. w. Wallace discoY
cred last spring, that the Old Mis-
souri, had changed its course about
eight miles east Of Springfield,
thus placing about 595 acres OF
land on the Nebrarka side that
was formerly in South Dakota
He got busy at once and after ira
cling the matter down, found that
the land above metioned was sub
ject to homestead. He imme-
diately fled on 1877 acres, his son
Joe, filed on 100 and w. @, Par
sons filed on the remaing 105. 1t
is said to be fine land and has
plenty of timber on it for impro-
Yements. There isquite a story
in connection with the, piece of
land, as Mr.. Wallace informs us
that it was filed on about 81 yrs.
ago when it was in Dakota, but
the change of the Missouri river
channel has placed the tract in
Nebraska. The land has been
used for . number of years as
free range by some of the stock
men of that section, but such pro-
ceedings will no doubt be stopped
by the new owners. Mr.. Parsons
expect to start milling lumber at
once with which he will put up q
set of improvements. The discov
cry of this valuable tract of land
was, indeed, a lucky strike for
those concerned in its ownership.

School win Remain Closed.

At the special school meeting
for this district, which was held
Tuesday evening, it was decided
a vote of 18 to 9 against opening
the school Il mile southwest Of
town. The argument advanced
by those opposed to the opening
was that it is very probable that
next year public school building
will be erected in Tabor which
would necessitate the moving of
tie school building farther away
from town for more satisfactory
accommodation of those who would
not send their children to the
Tabor school. It was further ar
gued that the building is in a bad
condition and repairs would a.
mount close to $500. To this add
$500 for a teacher, fuel and mis-
cellaneous expenses, it would cost
the district at least $1,000 for the
first year.. Those in favor Of o
pening the school argued that
they are not satisfied with the
Tabor school, and that the erection
of q public school in Tabor in so
short time; that is, next year is
very doubtful.
