A BIG THING FOR FARMERS. THE CONTRACT IS LET. "NT Buggies 7- 0. SlSOyO QUEER STATUS OF AFFAIRS. The Recent Decision of the Supreme Court in the Norwood School Case Causes all Kinds of Trouble.

The recent decision in the Norwood school case is the cause of no end of peculiar predicaments from a legal standpoint. According to the decision, there is no district No. 07, therefore persons who have paid money into the county treasury as tax to support the alleged district, are considered as having voluntarily donated so much money. The tax levied by district Xo. 4, the old district, was not extended on the tax roll as against the property in the alleged new district, but when next year's tax roll is made up, to it will be added the levy made last year in addition to the levy for the current year, so the tax payers in the alleged new district will have a "double barrelled" assessment for next year.

Damont Oets the Contract for Erecting The Stone Work on the Memorial Gateway. The contract for the erection of the stone work for the Forest park memorial gateway in memory of Co. has been let to M. Dumont and the work of taking away the old gateway was begun Monday. It is the intention of Park Commis-missioner Smith and the committee in charge to have at least the two outside stone columns up before the assembly opens, July 17, and as much more of the other work completed as possible.

The stone to be used in the erection of the columns is to be from the Carthage quarries and it is possible that the Missouri Pacific' railway company will haul the stone free of charge from the quarries. The memorial gateway in memory of Co. has struck a popular chord and already a subscription of over S800 has been raised. A few hundred dollars more will be required and everyone should put his shoulder to the wheel and help out. Don't back down if you can't give a dollar, give less.

Let's get this money raised at once. A LASTING IMPROVEMENT. The Santa Fe Has Decided to Put Down a lirick Walk From the Depot to the Park. The committee on parks of the city council is very much elated over the meeting with Supt. Barnes of the Santa Fe railway Monday.

TO The Creameries over the County Pay out Lots of Money to the Farmers. Few people realize the immense business that is being done by the Ottawa creamery at this time of year. The creamery employs four men and they are kept oa the jump all day to keep even with the work. Besides the creamery at this point, Manager Skourup has charge of four creaming stations, located at Home-wood, Norwood, Rintoul and Pomona, respectively. Of course these stations each has a local manager.

At Ottawa about 25,000 pounds of milk are received each day. Ten hundred and fifty pounds of butter are made daily and an immense supply of cream furnished to regular customers. The amount of money paid out to farmers each month amounts to a little over $1,000. The home demands amount to about 150 pounds of butter daily to local dealers. Manager Skourup is kept busy looking after the exports of his butter.

Twice a week a large amount of butter is carefully packed in heavy boxes, and sent to Kansas City, and once a week the Kansas City broker sends this supply to England in car load lots. Three hundred farmers are patrons of the creamery and receive a handsome sum monthly for their milk. The creamery is a big thing for Ottawa and Franklin county. William Church. Mr.

William Church died at his res idence in Williamsburg Tuesday morning, June 14th, '99, at about half past six o'clock. Deceased was born in Green county, on Christmas day, 1819. He was married to Susanah Seliars in 1838. Five children were born of this union, three sons, of whom one is sheriff of this county, one a merchant in Ottawa, and one resides in Kansas City. There were also two daughters, Mrs.

J. Hamilton, of Williamsburg, and Miss Lucy Church, who kept house for her father and cared for him in his de clining years. Two of the sisters of the deceased who survive him, one who is older, Mrs. Ruth Coe, of Streator, Illinois, and one near the old home in Pennsylvania, Mrs. Delilah Seckman.

Bro. Church moved from Pennsyl vania to Ohio in 1857, and during the civil war he served in the Second West Virginia cavalry. He moved to Kansas about thirty years ago and has resided in Williamsburg for about nineteen years. In August, VS. Sister Church died very suddenly, and ever since Brother Church has been in poor health; suf fered much from asthma and erysipelas.

He continued, however, until the end of last week to be able to walk around town, and was as jolly and pleasant as if he had never known suffering. Even on the morning of his death, though he had been very poorly for the previous few days, he was able to walk about the premises. His daughter noticed him sitting in an unnatural position, and running to him discovered to her horror that life was extinct. Thus without pain or struggle, having lived almost fourscore years Bro. Church passed into rest.

Bro. Church was converted in early life and he and his family who live in Williamsburg were members of the M. E. church. He was a good neighbor, a kind friend and a pious christian.

His home was one where God was honored and family prayer was daily offered. He has gone to his reward, to use the expressive language of scripture "at a good old age like a stock of corn fully ripe." His death was not wholly unexpected to himself, for he told his daughter a couple of weeks ago that he would not live long and that the end would be sudden. But his preparations were made and we do not mourn him as those who have no hope. By the request of the family the funeral services were held in the resi dence of the deceased at 2 p. m.

on Wednesday and his body was laid to rest by the side of his beloved wife in the cemetery at the Central church. Remarkable Rescue.

SOME NARROW ESCAPES. L.yle Knox AVrites of Hair-Raising: Exploits in the l'hilippiues. Below is an extract from a letter written by Lyle L. Knox, a boy with the Twentieth Kansas, and from it may be gathered some knowledge of the hair-raising exploits in which our soldier boys are constantly engaged: "After we had gotten up to the river at Calumpit the second lieutenant of my company took five of us boys on an expedition up the river to find some of getting a party across the stream in order to flank the negroes out of their position at the bridge. We found a bamboo bridge, but it had been swung along the river bank on the negroes' side, so the lieutenant told me to swim across with him to cut the bridge loose and swing it across stream.

"Well, he and I swam over, and on looking the bridge over found that it needed fixing before it could be used, so we weut up among some of the nipa huts to find poles to work with, but we ran into a bunch of 'bolo-men' that is negroes who pretend to be neutral or friendly, as may suit the occasion, but who will cut your throat for the fun of seeiug your blood run. They surrounded us, but were scared to tackle us, although we were unarmed. Finally I caught a chance to take one of them off his guard, so I jumped on him, knocking him off his feet. This gave us an opening, and we made a run for it. They gave us a pretty hot race for it, but the white man is best even in a foot race, and when a man is running to keep a gang of negroes from splitting his skull he doesn't need much urging.

We beat them to the river, and in we went heels over head. The boys ou the other side opened fire on the negroes as soon as they could see us so they could tell where to shoot. They knew we were mixed up before they could see us, but could not shoot for fear of hitting us. The river here is about 200 yards wide and we had to swim it; that is the way we came to be caught unarmed. I didn't like the idea of going unarmed, bat it was impossible to swim and carry a gun, so when the lieutenant told me to go with him I jumped into it and beat him across.

He got away unhurt, but I got a small cut across my left arm and shoulders from one of the negroes. The deep part of the wound was only four or five inches long, and the whole thing was diagnosed by the doctor as follows: 'Superficial knife wound, ten inches long, transversely across left shoulder on a line with armpit; also posterior surface of left arm. It was sewed up and will soon be healed up enough so I can go back to the lines." John E. Stewart, Cancel, writes: My daughter has weak lungs and catches cold.at almost every change of weather.

Main 'Ottawa. Kan. 0 an 31st. Certain school monies furnished by the state have been appropriated by certain gentlemen who represented themselves as directors of a school district which it is now decided, does not nor never did exist, and these gentlemen or the county treasurer will be held responsible for that money. Again, these same parties are assessed the entire cost of the supreme court proceedings in the case.

Another peculiarity in the case is the question of whose property is the new school house and its contents. It is suggested by some that the house may be legally held by the owner of the land upon which it is situated. In this case the building would become the property of one Mr. Capper. Mr.

Capper deeded the land to District No. 97, but no such district is in existence and, as a lawyer said today, "When you deed your land to a puff of wind, the land pretty nearly is yours still." The most complicated condition of affairs that arises from this case, however, is found at the county treasurer's office. The law provides that the county treasurer has no authority to take any amount less than one half the whole tax levied on a property for all purposes. The tax for the alleged new district has been levied and in most instances the first half has been paid. The time for tax paying is here again, and tax payers are being advised by their attorneys not to pay this school tax levied by the alleged new district.

When the tax payer refuses to dp this and offers to pay his tax less the school tax, the treasurer can not accept it. The treasurer is confronted by the law on the one hand which plainly tells him his duty. On the other hand stands a lawyer who has advised his client not to pay this alleged school tax. The result will be, probably, that the county board, will be compelled to step in and authorize the county treasurer to remit this school tax, or else the treasurer will be compelled to levy on a lot of land out in that district for taxes this fall. AN OTTAWA BIGAMIST.

A Former Ottawa Citizen (Jets Into Trouble at Cherokee, Kansas. Information has been received here that H. Henry, who was at one time a resident of this city, and who was married to an Ottawa young lady and of whom it was subsequently learned that he had other wives in other parts of the state, causing him to leave this city mysteriously, is again in a similar trouble. This time he turns up at Cherokee, and has married a quite well-to-do young lady. The story goes that Henry's wife accidentally found a letter on his per son from his former Ottawa wife, which caused an investigation and she learned that he not only had an Ot tawa wife, but several other wives about the country.

He was thereupon arrested and is now awaiting his trial at Cherokee for bigamy. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, tells how such a slave was made free.
