TERMINAL. ELEVATOR BONDS
ARE HELD CONSTITUTIONAL

Helent, May .-Constitutionality of
the act OF the Fifteenth legislative as
sembly providing for the issuance and
sale OF bonds to the amount OF $3.50,
600 for the erection of a terminal ele-
vator at Great Falls was affirmed by
the supreme court today in an opin-
ion delivered by Associate Justice
Matthews. The bonds were advertised
for sale in January, .his year, but no
bids were received The following
month E. F. Lyman brought an in
junction suit to restrain the state
from further steps in the matter on
the ground that the act was invalid.
The paymen of the interest and
principal on the bonds were the points
considered, the court holding that the
provisions OF the act are loosely
drawn up, but, proceeding to eliminate
those provisions which render the law
uncertain, finds sufficient remains to
to provide for meeting the obligations
as they may fall due, and therefore
apholds the law in its modified form.
The court by Interpretation modi-
les the statute to provide that the
evy on agricultural lands shall be
made by the county assessor scons-
nencinE with the year wherein the
'onds rerein provided for may be is
'ead and continuing - long ~ such
'onds shah or any part thereof or any
interest thereon remain unpaid"

For some time the conviction has
been growing that the only solution OF
providing school for all the children
OF a district is dormitory. In sever
al districts teacherages of one Or two
rooms have been built, or a room pro-
vided in the school for the teacher;
In most of these districts the teacher
keeps one or more pupils. who live too
far from the school to attend other
wise. During the past years several
school boards have built or rented
buildings for dormitory purposes and
many other districts are making simi-
lar plans for next year. The old school
building at Geraldine is being used
as dormitory in which children are
Accommodated at $1,000 a month. The
parents bring in whatever produce
they wish and receive credit for it on
their account. Supt H. H. Sauers says.
We find this plan much cheaper than
transportation BY wagons or trucks
The experiment has worked out very
satisfactorily. Sanford has rented
building for dormitory which pro

Lawrence Petersen, % years old and
former Kenosha man, was arraigned
in the Municipal Court on Tuesday af-
ternoon on a statutory charge and on
his plea Of guilty he was sentenced to
a term of two years in the state re-
formatory at Green Bay. Petersen
was arrested in company with Mrs.
julie Norris, who claimed that she had
come to Kenosha from Minneapolis.
The young woman was accused of the
same charge and she shed many briny
tears in court as she told her story to
the judge She asked for another
chance and The Judge decided to give it
to her. She was ordered to get out of
Kenosha and stay out of the county
and she was on the first train leaving
for Minneapolis. Petersen told the
officers that he had wife living in
Minneapolis. He was on parole when
he was picked up by the local police
officers while he was in company with
the Norris woman.

DISCARDS CRUTCH
Omaha Woman Says Tanlac Rid
Her of Rheumatism.
Makes Facts Public to Help
Other Sufferers.

.fTanIac has so completely relieved
me from a severe case OF rheumatism
that I have thrown away my crutchcs
and can get about just like young
person again" declared Mrs. Mary A.
Styers OF 4326 Patrick avenue. Omaha,
Neb.
For about a year before I got Tan
lac 1 suffered terribly from rhsu-
rrlatisn in my Joints and had to use
crutches most of the time to get about
any at all My knees would swell up
to nearly twice their normal size, and
INV hips were so painful I couldn't
bear my weightson them also SUI
fered dreadfully from indigestion. and
my stomach was so upset l had to
force down everything ate Even the
little l did eat caused gas TO form in
such large quantities that at times it
seemed as If 1 would smother. and at
night 1 could scarcely sleep lost
considerable weight, and although 1
was continually taking medicines and
treatments, 1 was in bed for weeks at
a time.
After Tanlac had relieved my hus-
band of a bad case of lumbago and
rheumatism, 1 was certain that t
would help me too. so 1 began taking
it, and the result simply couldn't have
been better. Why, it has only taken a
few bottles of the medicine to free me
entirely from that awful rheumatism.
and all nay other troubles as we'll l
never have a sign of indigestion or
gas, and you may know how well every
thing agrees with me by the fact that
I've already gained twenty pounds in
weight and am still gaining. Although
I'm siSty>years of age 1 feel as wellSas
1 ever did in my life, and just can't
praise Tanlac enough for all it has

HUNS FREED HIM
Rhineland Leader Released
Only After Entente Threat.
Arrest of Separatist Chief Vio-
lated Occupation Regulations.

Berlin, July 26.-Dr. H. A. Dorten,
separatist leader IN the Rhineland,
who was arrested recently blythe Ger
man authorities, has been set free
upon the governments order, the
Lokal Anzeiger announces today.
Paris, July 26.-The allied high
commissioners in the Rhineland last
evening informed the German i'm
perial commissioner there that unless
DIR. H. A. Dorten, the separatist lead
er, was surrendered and brought back
to the Rhineland, the commission
would take the most energetic meas
ures, according to news received at
the foreign office today. The COM
mission informed the Germans that
the first measure would be the can
collation. of all concessions previously
made to the German civil >administra
ton in the territory on the left bank
of the Rhine.
The warning, it is stated, was given
after a meeting in Coblenz of the
French high commissioner with the
British and Belgian commissioners
and a representative of the command
er-in-chief of the American force of
occupation. The commissioners de-
cided that the arrest of Doctor Dorten
was in violation of the regulation gov
erning the occupation and a blow to
Rhineland anc that action should be
taken at once if the prisoner were not
returned.
Doctor Dorten came into promi-
hence in June, 1919, when he headed
an attempt to organize a Rhenish re-
public at Wiesbaden in the Rhineland,
where dispatches have reported he was
arrested by the Germans last Friday.
The movement to establish the Rhine
land state proved unsuccessful but
Doctor Dortep has been reported at
various intervals since as still agitat-
ing separatist policy for the Rhine

lott, TopekAn, in California.
r. Wendell Elliott of Topeka, 20
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph c.
Elliott, 1915 Clay street, died July "a
at the Seaside hospital in Long Beach,
according to word received here Sun
day by his parents. Death was due to
infection from a splinter in his foot,
picked up while he was bathing at
Long Beach.
Elliott and two friends, Bernard
Moore and Arthur Erskine, left To-
peka more than. two months ago after
purchasing a car. and drove to Cali
fornia. They>obtained work there and
intended to return to Topeka by way
of Canada and New York. Moore and
Erskine sold the car Saturday and
started for Topeka with the body of
their friend. They are expected here
tonight.
Elliott was graduated from Topeka
high school in January. 1918. and took
post graduate work until June OF the
same year. Then he started to work
in the freight auditors office of the
Santa Fe, quitting in April of this year.
1t was then that the three boys con-
ceived the idea of motoring to Cali
fornia. So
Joseph C. Elliott, father of the dead
boy, formerly worked for the Warren
NJ. Crosby store, retiring two years
ago. The Elliott family rented their
home at 1915 Clay when Wendell left
for California and since have been liv-
ing at Nineteenth and Highland
streets in Seabrook. Two other chill
dren, Miss Joy Elliott, who graduated
from Topeka high school in 1917. and
Miss Alta Elliott, who is visiting in
Boise, ID, survive. Miss Elliott left
Boise Immediately upon hearing of her
brothers death and arrived in Topeka
today.
Funeral announcements will be
made later
