Topek. Dec- 27. Ia-ley L. Diyhofi" state superintendent of schools, in his biennial report will recommend that the legislature establish a pension system for Kansas teachers According to the report Kansas pays its teachers abou' 4 million dollars annually aid Mr. Day- heff estima'el that if one-half the teachers became interested in the plan and tjave 1 par cent of their salaries the fund would have $20,000 the end of first year, which would permit an unities of $800 to be paid.

Mr. D-iyhoff would require that only interest from the monay be used as annuity for the teachers. He believes that the teachers should pay a certain per cent of their saNry to the state school fund commission. This payment would be purely voluntary, only members could receive the annuities. Tne state treasurer would be custodian cf the fund and all eeour ities and the state superintendent's office would do the clerical work 3 officer in to receive any pay for handling fund.

This plan has been tried in other states, where a teacher must have been actij service twenty years before he entitled to an annuity unless iccapac itated by ill health or injury. Farmer's Institute.

A. F. Faith Big Rabbit Hunt. A big rabbit hunt took plaoe Thurt day in Seventy-Six township between the Anson and Prairie Center districts. Ten men were chosen on each side and the day spent with wagon, guns and dogs hunting rabbits We have not learned which side won, but a total or 600 rabbits were killed.

They were brought to town today and sold to a lo cal butcher for shipment.

We answered 'No, we never did, nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town with a cigar in her teeth, and running into every joint she saw. We have never seen woman go a fishing with a bottle in ber poeffet, sit on the 'damp ground all day and come home drunk at night. Nor have we ever seen a woman yank off her coat and say she oculd lick any man in town." "If it weren't for the big advertisers like Jacob Engle and the Bouldin Mercantile company Wellington wouldn't 3 half as good a business town as it is" said a clothing merchant today. "Firms like that bring people to town, and business in my line is always better when one of Engle's or Bouldin's big sales is on. I believe the merchants sbonld all advertise and help to bear the ex penees cf advertising the town, for we all profit from one merchant's ad Us ing.

The treasurer has not yet turned his books over to the county clerk and is accepting taxes without adding the penalty them. It will be remembeaed that oue year ago the oounty clerk demanded the books of the treasurer cn the 21st of December and quite a controversy resulted as it had been the cuf-toji of the treasurer to keep the books and accept taxas up until the 1st of January.

The attorney general has held that the penalties cannot be col lected, prior to January 1, unless the cleric his added them. Treasurer Hub bard will turn his books over to the clerk as soon as he gets them posted up, arid until that time will accept tates without paraltics.

enap. The WELLINGTON OAS CO. Wichita, Has Dec. 6. A plan for an amendment for tne prohibitory law, to be submitted in 19C8, ii being talked of here and arrangements are being mat to present the new amendment to ttie legieliture ariy io the session and se ure instructions to submit the question on the "l.ttle ballot" at the next election.

A part of the constitutional provisions regarding prohibition forbids the sale or barter of intoxicating liquor at any place in the state. It is now planned to submit an amendment to this section which will provide that no liquori snll be cold injthe 6tate except in towns cf more than 10.0.0 inhabitants where the local voters may decide to lienee the saloons. Tee proposed amendment has b-en submitted to several lawyers here and hey have declared that such a pUn fcr ocal option is possible under the word icg of the prohibitory laws acd tne con struction placed on it by the courts. Most of the small towns in the state are without joints. The people of thei-e owns are opposed to them ud opp" i to resubmitting the qaes ion Taey want the law made stronger and stuctly ecforoed.

It is bslieved here, however. that such an amendment could car ried with th vote of th9 larger cities which have had joints fcr many yeerr and in wnich there seems to be a senti ment in favor of having the open ra- oons. Decision for Teachers According to an opinion issued by Superintendent Dayhoff, a ecvo1 board cannot cut eff the teacher's salary wb le the school is closed on account of an ep idemic. The t.pi"ion was written at the quest of the superintendent of Clark county. There have been several epidemics of contagion in some parts cf the country end some of the schools bad to be closed.

The directors of the school districts believed it was cot cec essary to pay the teachers for the days the schools were closed. The opinion says tbat an epidemic is a public calam ity anJ as long as the teacher is reaiy for work but cannot, the salary must be paid. II any was bete Saturday.

At all Drug Stores bjo William B- Sell, notorious through out Kansas for twenty years as "Willie Sell," 19 to be pardoced from the penitentiary by Governor Hoch within the next few weeks, according to a report in circulation which has been traced to vry reliable authority.

In fact it is understood that the Governor intended to grant the pardon Christmas eve but was prevented from doing so by the fact that he did not the capitol cn his return to th city from Marion until after office hours. It ii now thought that the pa. dsn will te granted early in the New Year. The pardon of Willie Sell will ucquestionably cause a eensa tion in Kaneas and it will probably pio-voke fierce opposition to Governor Hoed in Neosho county where the murders wnich Bell was convicted were con mitted twenty years ago. Governor Hoch has been dseply interested in the Sell caie since the beginning of his term the state's ohief executive.

The crime for which Sell has served nearly twenty years in the state penitentiary wa9 the murder of his father and moth er, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sell, and his brother and sister, the former 18 years of ag and the latter 13, on their farm i five miles northwest of Erie on the mgnt ol Alarcn 8.

lgbo. Tne assassin attacked his victims as they lay in bed struck them in the head with a hatchet and afterward cut the throats with a butcher kaife. Sell was convicted of murder L.nd sentenced to imprisonment for life. The evidence upon which he was convicted was purely circumatan tiel but it wa i so strocg that there are few who lived in the country at thit time, who visited the scene of the trag edy, or who heard his triel, but seemed firmly convinced that Willie Sell was the person who committed the mur der9. During the holiday season many fel lows who used to live here drift back, some showing evidences of prosperity and success, and others unchanged.

In speaking of a certain former young man who has been very successful in busi ness since leaving here, a young fallow said today, "If you want to amount to anything, you've got to get out of Welling on. There's no show for a man here." But tne chances are ten to one that the fellow who succeed ed after leaving Wellington wculd have succeeded had he remained here. Mo of success is In the man's own efforts and Wellington is just as good a place as any for the right sort of man. County Superintendent Hosick last week "iscovered a school in a district in the south part of the county in which higher branches which belong only to the coanty high school are beiag taught and at the expense of the intermediate work. The dudiIs who are taking the higher studies are old enough and are qualified to enter the county high school The teacher was giving the woxk by the order of the board.
