Wichita, Kan., Feb. 20. Mrs. Na
tion's attorneys presented a motion in
the district court to quash the indict
ment uguinst his client ou the u round
that the building injured harbored ii nui
sance, and that his client had tho right
to abate it. In denying the motion,
Judge I). M. Dale ruled todav that it
makes no difference whether the property
destroyed is used tor a saloon, a bank or
u grocery store.
Under this ruling the only point at ib
sue is whether the accused broke the
glass windows, as alleged in the com
plaint. The complaint in one case is
made by the owner of the building, who
was not tho proprietor of tiie saloon.

Vast Sums Paid to School Laud CIer,k
Never Turned Into the State
Treasury.
Salem, Feb. 20. Senator Brownell,
chairman of the joint committee ap
pointed to investigate the affaire of the
State Board of School Land Com
missioners, today made u report that
created quite a sensation. 7 he report
gives 30,049.73 as collected and never
turned into the state treasury. The text
of the report follows:
"We, your committee appointed under
concurrent resolution, beg leave to re
port as follows:
"That we have checked up the school
funds back to and including the year
1804 ; that for the years 1894 and 1805 we
find that the clerk of the state land
board collected money to the unioiiiit of
$30149.73, which sum has nevpr been
turned over to the state treasurer. We
append a statement hereto annexed and
marked exhibit A, showing the amounts
collected and the amounts (or which said
clerk has receipts. The balance as
ehowu was never turned over to the
treasurer. But the books were balanced
by a number of falap entries, the principal
one crediting the school fund with $10,
449,04 twice, when he had but one receipt
covering the amount. Another being a
raieeof $3GC0on a receipt of tho treasurer,
and a number of other credits for which
he held no receipts, We submit here.

we came to time.
"For the past five years wo find that
all moneys have been turned over to
the treasurer as by law required. The,
present officers have been very kind and
obliging to us, showing us every courtesy
possible and furnishing us with all
papers and books requested.
"In regard to tho investigation of land
matters we beg leave to say that our
work is just fairly commenced. This is
a work of no small magnitude and re
quires a vast amount of careful and
painstaking work. It is work of great
importance to the state, however, and
should be attended to.
"A few things in this limited time at
our disposal we haw loomed and note
the following: Many parties holding
certificates of sale which are fully paid
for decline to take deeds for the same to
avoiding paying state and county taxes,
This should be remedied by statute, or
in some other way it possible.
"Another need of laud department is a
system of direct and indirect indexes to
records of deeds.
"We note also that the state land de
partment is bully crowded for room, for
the growing business of the office. It
should also be provided with ii larger
vault in which to preserve the records in
case of fire,
"The clerk should be required to pay
money over proinptIy,as by law required.
The bond of the clerk lias generally been'
fixed at $5090, which would seem to be a
very small amount, considering the
amount ot iimuey handled. Prudence;
at least from a business standpoint,
would require a larger bond. A sheriff
handling an equal amount would ha re
quired to furnish from $50,000 to $60,000
bonds.
"Iu our opinion a committee should
be appointed, further to investigate the
matter embodied under concurrent reso.
lutlon, and report as this assembly may
direct.
"It would seem tlut justice to all par
ties would require a full and complete
