By examining the above figures we
find some increase in the enrollment
of the last year over the former,
yet by comparing the number enrolled
with the enumeration of the years
it will indicate a condition which
should be thoughtfully considered.
The enumeration for 1901-2 was 10,47(1
and the enrollment 9,040 which shows
that 1,430 pupils were not' enrolled in
school. The enumeration of 1902-3 is
11,511 and the enrollment 9,291 or
2,220 persons in th j county of school
age not enrolled in school.
There are several causes that would
tend to produce this result, such as
attending school or college outside of
, the county, attending private schools,

Daniel W. Ulam.
Daniel W. Ulam was born at Free-
port, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1845.
He died at Chandler, Okla , October
12, 1903, aged 58 years, 0 months and
27 days. Funeral services were con-
ducted from the home at 2 o'clock p.
Tuesday, October 13, by the
Knights of Pythias, the sermon being
preached by Rev. J. A. Ferguson.

In 1878 Mr. Ulam moved with his
family to Butler county, Kansas,
where they lived until the opening o
the Sac a.id Fox couutry to settlement
when they euuie to Lincoln county.
Mr. Ulam took a claim eight miles
northwest of town near Ida where the
family lived until after Mr. Ulam's
election to the office of county treas-
urer which he filled for four years.
He sold the furin during his term of
office and has since resided in Chand-
ler, owning his home oil Steele avenue
und other town property.
Since living here he has taken an
active part in the affairs of the city,
having served several terras as a
member of the school board and also
on tho |>ld town couucil.
Mr. T,'lam was a very companion-
able mati, genial and interested in ull
that was going on in the world. His
old friends have stood close by him
during the long period of his suffering
and there have been few hours in the
past months when some friend outside
of the family was not at his bedside.
He bore his suffering with great forti-
tude and met death bravely.
The characteristics of the man and
the citizen were well summed up by
Rev. Ferguson in the tuneral address
as follows:
"A man true to his country and its
flag. At his country's call in the hour
of its pei il he took his life in his own
hand and went out to exposure and
peril that his country might live
"A citizeu trusted with responsible
duties who proved true to his trust
and went out of office respected and
honored by everyone
"A father who when death had
deprived him of the companion of his
youth, the mother of his children,gave
himself wholly to the c^re of his
motherless children, not caring for
himself, not "eeking his own comfort
and pleasure, hut with that anxiety
