COUNTIES OWE THE STATE
State Accountant To Check The
Accounts Between The Two.
WILL BENEFIT SCHOOL FUND.
iiuorj* 12. Cole When Made State Ac-
countant Will do The Ferret Act.
He Knows llow.
Topeka, June 30.—The state account-
ant, soon to be appointed by Governor
Bailey, will be given something to do
besides loafing around the state house
and drawing his pay. In the pa6t all
that a state accountant did was to
ng around the state house and gos-
sip and occasionally chcck up the
account^ of some state oflicer or board.
Governor Stanley saw what a farce it
was and abolished the oflice. The leg-
slature last winter revived the place
but the governor hasn't yet named the
accountant. It is understood that
George E. Cole will be appointed just
as soon as his job as receiver of the
Kansas Mutual gives out.
The state has all sorts of dealings
with the various counties and the new
state accountant will be put to work
cheeking up the accounts between the
state and counties. This means a lot
of hard work but the state will no
doubt profit immensely by it. Assist-
ant State Auditor James Nation says,
in his opinion, the permanent school
fund will be benefitted to the extent of
§50,000 or more by it.
Under the present system of keep-
ing accounts it is impossible to tell
how much money is due the school
fund from various western counties
for rental and sale of school lands,"
said he. "All the record we have of
sales and rentals is what the county
officers send in. Many of them are
very negligent and make only partial
reports to the auditor.
"An accountant could make an ab-
stract of our books and then compare
them with the records in each county.
I am sure that in most cases he would
find a balance due the state school
fund. Several of the western county
superintendents have evolved an ex-
pensive way of appraising lands In
some instances the cost of appraising
the land exceeds what the state gets
for it. The state accountant could in-
vestigate this 'graft' and adopt some
method of stopping it* He could also
pi jk up a lot of money for the state by
checking up the state tax accounts. 1
believe that he would find at least
850,000 that could be covered into the
state treasury. Some counties have in-
vented a graft in the matter of refund
which enables them to beat the state
out of considerable money. I know of
one couuty that has worked the graft
for several years. That is Barber coun-
ty. As a result it has beaten the state
out of an average perhaps of SI,000 a
year. Under the law the state gives
a county a rebate on its uncollected
tax on personal property. Barber
county has been including the uncol-
lected tax on town lots and lands in
its claim for a refund aud has always
got it. It put in a claim this year for
a SI, 100 refund. We wrote to the coun-
ty clerk for additional information
about the claim. He was a new man
and wasn't 4on' and gave the 3nap
away. Doubtless other counties have
used other methods, some of them un-
intentionally and others on purpose,
to cut down the amount of taxes due
the state. It will keep an accountant
busy, but he will bring results."
Special 8<*«nlon Of ConRremi.
Washington, June 25.—Monday, No-
vember 9, is tlie date tentatively set by
the president for the assembling of
congress in extra session for action by
the house on the Cuban treaty and the

date to the regular session of that
body. The first Monday in December,
the time fixed by law for regular ses-
sions to begin, falls 011 December 7
this year. By boginning on November

Washington, June 20.—Representa-
tives in Washington of the Panama
cani^l company have received cable
dispatches from Bogota to the effect
that the sentiment in Colombia of in-
tense opposition to the ratification of

the treaty without amendment than
was expected.

Mexico City, June 27.—The nomina-

Jealous of American Cattle.
Ottawa, Out., June 29.—Mr. Pope,
Conservative, moved in the house a
vote of censure upon the government
because the imperial government was
buying cattle in the United States for
restocking the Boer farms. Sir Wil-
liam Mullock, postmaster general, and
Sidney Fisher, minister of agriculture,
said the government had made all the
representations possible in the matter
and they regarded the resolution as an
attack upon the home authorities. The
resolution was defeated.
Took a Ilracer.
Kansas, City, Mo., June 29.—The

bank of Treasurer W. O. Cox and hand-
ed him a check for $20,000 as the lum-
bermen's first installment of their fund
for relief work which they raised by
their strenuous methods. The check
was signed by Mr. Merrill as chairman
and H. A. Gorsucli as secretary of the
committee. It carried the total fund
to something less than 8120,000.
"We are still getting money in our
fund," said Mr. Merrill, "as we received
something near SI,000 today. We now
have about S30,000 all tola, leaving us
S10,000 after this is turned over. The
latter sum we retain for the present
for some certain purposes of relief of
our own."

SURE NOW
The Truth About Coffee.
It must be regarded as a convinc-
ing test when a family of 7 has used
Postum for 5 years, regaining health
and keeping healthy and strong on
this food drink.
This family lives in Millville, Mass.
and the lady of the household says:
"For eight years my stomach trou-
bled me all the time. I was very ner-
vous and irritable and no medicine
helped me.
"I had about given up hope until
6 years ago next month I read an
prticle about Postum Cereal Coffee
that convinced me that coffee was
the cause of all my troubles. I made
the Postum carefully and liked it so
much that I drank it in preference
to coffee but without much faith that
it would help me.
"At the end of a month, however,
I was surprised to find such a change
in my condition. I was stronger in
every way, less nervous and at the
end of 6 months I had recovered my
strength so completely that I was
able to do all of my own housework.
Because of the good Postum did us I
knew that what you claimed for
Grape-Nuts must be true and we
have all used that delicious food ever
since it first appeared on the market.
