Monday Last day of the August Sale in the Furniture, Carpet and urt ain Stores Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Republican state central committee, has taken up -the cudgel in defense of the state administration and declares that the Legislature is not to blame for the increased state taxes. He asserts that the appropriations made by the Legislature last winter were not sufficient to justify the increase by the- state board of equalization of the twenty-fojir million dollars in the valuation placed upon the state property by the local assessors and the increase of from 5 5-10 to 6 4-10 mills in the state levy. This increase will raise at the lowest estimate, Mr. Albaugh claims, $500,000 more, than will be needed to take care of the 1904 appropriations and It would be something out of the ordinary not to have reports circulating at 'various times to the effect that the corn (crop In Kansas would be a failure or at ae.t the yield would be light. And this treason's crop will be no exception to the rule, for time and again it has been predicted that there would be no crop this year, that the yield -would-be that the ear would not be well developed, and that there would not even, be much fodder.

Ytt most assuring reports are beginning to come in to the effect that the crop will be an average crop. In much of the acreage washed by the floods a late crop has been put In, and unless than two ears to the stalk aa the two Would develop into better ears with more 1 solid kernels than where more ears de-1 Veloped to the stalk. The fields at the jVYUlnut Stock Farm are fair samples of 1 that of the entire county. There will be no short crop there, some of the fields promising 35 bushels to the acre.

The work was pretty slow for a while but it has got to point now where it shows up. The work east of the avenue has been finished and work is well under way cn the west side. Mayor Bergundtha is pleased with the way. Street Commissioner Snyder has handled the work, fie said yesterday: "There-were a good many people kicking on Snyder for a while, but they didn't know what they were talking about. He is the best street commissioner Topeka ever had and I don't know of any one who would have gone through the work he did.

Everything was against the street force for a while and the work didn't show up, but things were being put into shape all the time. No one can see what an immense amount of work has been done." Seats Sellinr. Mr. Albaugh makes the statement on I the theory that the late Legislature de- serves to be given credit, wherein it was in the right and that any blame for increased state taxes for 19il should be laid at the proper doors. His statement U' as follows: have that light green color that indicates i its roots are too wet and such rows can be traced throughout the length of the field even though it is too far away to see the water in the field.

LUCDU "It has Leeome important to the Repub-licans of the state to know whether the Legislature of 1903 was profligate with the people money and whether that body is to blame for the increased burden of taxation that has been laid upon the people. Mr. Kelly has contended that the late Legislature appropriated three-fourths of a million dollars more than any previous Legislature, and in the Topeka Capital of August 6, 1933, he states that for MONEY FORTHE SCHOOLS The Semi-Annual Distribution of School Fund Interest Is Completed. WANTS NEW LAW ENACTED Food Inspector Farnsworth Would Have Use of Formaldehyde in Milk Stopped. jl9C4 alone, one-half million dollars more had been appropriated than for the preceding year.

In the Topeka Capital, under date 'of August 1, 1903, Mr. Kelly furnished Food Inspector Farnworth says that no injurious effects result from the use of formaldehyde In milk as a preservative and that it is bftter to use this instead of milk that has become sour. However. "The month of August," says the Southwestern Grain Journal, "has been favora-Lle for the maturing of corn in the Southwest; iind barring a few cool nights caused by an abundance of rain, could not have been improved upon. The early corn is Bufe from injury by frost, and much, of the corn planted after the flood, with absence of'Trost for another month, will make a fiir crop.

KSTIMATIS ON THE YIKXD. "At tlii writing, August. 30, the corn crop of Kansas can be safely put down, as a good half crop of about 115,000,000 bushels; and with immunity from frost up to October 1 another 20,000.000 bushels may be added to this, making a crop in Kansas of bushels, providing present favorable maintained. "August has been a very favorable month for plowing, the abundant rains have put fields in good shape and much plowing has been accomplished. Fromi present Indications the acreage of wheat to be put in this fall will be large; pastures are green, andi the amount of tough feed in the Southwest has not been equalled in years." Until a few weeks ago the farmers within a radius of thirty to fifty miles of Topeka have had occasion to feel anxious bout the corn croa, The rain kept the fields soaked so that they could not be worked during the cultivating period, and the corn, grew the weeds and crab grass filled the rows and helped to hold the almost incessant precipitation, so that Jthe ground was wet, too wet, nearly the entire time that the farmers were expecting the corn to grow the most and fill the best.

Then followed a few days of oppressively hot weather without the 'hot winds and their blasting effect. The 'weather was just what the corn needed, nd it grew rapidly and in but a short time now will be past the danger limit. BIG CROP IN JACKSON COUNTY. In Jackson county the proprietor of the TVaInut Grove Stock Farm said that he thought his corn yield would average fully as well this year as it did last de-epite the fact that it is very weedy. One of the faults that he found with his corn made for 1901 on June 30, 1902, left a balance, as shown above, of in the treasury.

With this $281,001.04 to start with on July 1902, with a valuation for that year of and a levy of 5 mills, which would raise $1,097,334 and with the fees above referred-to, the State Treasurer in 181-3. was ableto get along all right and wind up by paying all the expended part of the appropriations of that year, and wind up on June 30, 1903 with his balance again increased, this time aggregating $339,815.91. "These things were accomplished with these levies upon appropriations' In 1901 of 192 of $2,624,935.96 and in 1903 with appropriations of $2,413,536.54, and yet Mr. Kelly would insist that in 1904. with total appropriations aggregating $2,378,228.70, much less than- in either 1901, 1902 or 1903, that it is necessary to make a levy of 6 4-10 mills upon a total valuation of which will raise In direct taxes alor.e.

or $679,940 more than was provided for In 1901, $490,534 more than was' provided for in 1902 and more than was provided for in 19C3. KELLY'S STATEMENTS MISLEADING. "In his statement in the Topeka Capital, under date of August 1, Mr. Kelly states that 'the apropriations made by the last Legislature are the heaviest known, the total for the year of 1S04 being To this must be added the extra expenditure for the year 1903, amounting to This is misleading in the extreme, as this $602,909.54 is a part of the appropriations for 1903 and was expended before July 1, 1903, at which time the State Treasurer had left in his hands $03915.91. If Mr.

Kelly's method of figuring should be, adopted, the $692,223.19 appropriated by the 1901 Legislature for lDOl would have to be added to the total appropriations for 1902, rather than 1901. as we have done and would make the aggregate for 1902, $3,317,129.15, 3 against the $2,981,138.24, "which Mr. -Kelly insists must be provided for in 1904. "In short, with $2,378,228.70 to be raised for with the certainty that the fees actually paid Into the slate treasury from different sources, will take care of between $250,00) and $300,000 of this, with the knowledge that in 1901 $412,005.02 of the appropriations made were not expended, that in 1902 $366,312.35 were not expended and that in no- year in the past in the state's history has anything like the full amount of the appropriations been expended, Mr. Kelly ha3 provided for the raising by direct taxation of $2,487,838, which is at the lowest possible estimate, $500,000 more than will be needed to take carev of the appropriations made.

he says he is against the dairies being allowed to adulterate milk. As there is no state law in regard to this subject, it is impossible to do anything. He thinks one should be enacted. He says he first discovered formaldehyde in Topeka milk three years ago. It was only used to a small extent then.

The next year it was used more and now practically every dairy around Topeka preserves the milk In this way. Oklahoma is not a state neither is Indian Territory. And yet, at the last.census, their population was almost as great as the combined population of Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. Today, it is greater. Their area is equal to the combined area of the New England States, with Delaware thrown in for good measure.

The largest city in the twin territories is only fifteen years old, bnt it has a population of nearly 35,000. There are other towns with a population of 5.000 or more, besides innumerable smaller places from 100 to 3,000. No section of the United States is growing more rapidly or building on a -firmer foundation. No section offers greater opportunities to the man who is looking for a new location. This is as true of the professional man as it i of the farmer or merchant.

Oklahoma and Indian Territories are gridironed by the lines of the Rock Inland and its sister system, the Frisco. Every town of importance is on one or tho other of these railroads. We have issued, and will gladly mail to anyone who will ask for them, two little books descriptive of the Southwest. One book is called "Men Wanted." It contains a list of the business openings alongthe lines of the Kock Island System. The other is entitled "Rock Island States Southwest." It describes at considerable length those portions of the Southwest which have been thrown open for settlement by recent extensions of Rock Island lines.

Wright, County Superintendent of Public Instruction, has Completed the distribution of the semi-annual dividend of the state and county school fund which amounts to Of this sum $873.41 from the county fund and the balance comes from the state fund. There are 103 school districts in the county, among which this amount was distributed. At the distribution in March there was $0,812.52, which was wholly from the state fund.

The county fund at that time did not warrant a distribution. Forty cents is paid from the state fund for every inhabitant of school age in the district, and 5 cents is paid from the county fund. This makes 45 cents for every pupil which Is paid to the district. The greatest amount from the fund was paid to school district No. 23, which got $5,135.85.

If the amount was divided equally, among the 103 school districts of the county each district would receive $76.32. There are seven districts which receive more than this amount. The seven are: No. 23, city of Topeka, No. 34, No.

35, No. 30. No. 42, No. 61, No.

102, $163.35. These seven districts receive $5,870.15 of the total $7,860.60. leaving only $1,990.45 for the other ninety-six districts. District No. 10 receives the smallest amount of any of the districts, No.
