STATE NoEMAL SCHOOL.

In naming the state institutions of
Kansas, pupils, and teachers also, fire.
quently include the private normal
schools. Students often go to them un-
der the impression that they arc under

school IN Kansas

tions. The appropriations for improve
ments and apparatus alone, last winter,

members, chosen on account of their fit
ness for normal work.
2. That it is not in any way connect
ed with the local schools of Emporia.
8. That all its departments are most

ten, the model school, the preparatory

The Washington correspondent of the
Kansas City Times says: "Apropos of
Congressman Ryan, it may be proper to
add that this Is his third trip TO Wash
ington since the adjournment OF con-
gress on business for his constituents.
Mr.. Ryan met Mr. Wakefield here, the
superintendent of the western division
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee
railroad, and succeeded ia having night
postal service established ON that rail-
road with corresponding pay and facill-
ties. 1t seems that the nigat service
was, heretofore, only a route agency, not
embraced within the railway service,
and with small pay and inadequate ac-
commodations for the large mail trans-
ported in baggage cars. This is now to
be embraced in the regular railway pos
tai car service, with complete accommo-
datioas Mr.. Ryan has also gotten in
creased allowance for clerk hire for
about dozen postoffices in his district,
ranging from 5000 to 81 400 per an

Iowa Methodist OF recent date:
The Upper Iowa University is

and preparing to DO more efficient work
than ever. Rev. +. L. Thorpe, A. M,
LII. D., of the Upper Iowa conference,
and now stationed at Nashua, has been
elected vice president and professor of
eIocntion and bellies lettres. We regret
his removal from the passionate, in
which he has already made an excellent
record both as a preacher and finan-
cier, but rejoice that another field of
labor will receive an active worker.
Mr. Thorpe. it will be remembered,

last fall, and the high esteem in which
she vas held here renders this intellI-
gence of her husbands success highly
gratifying.

Topeka Commonwealth: Hon. Jere-
miah s. Black, whose death is an
nounced by Sundays dispatches,
was one of the counsel employed by the
attorney general to assist him IN the
prosecution of the quo ,oarrGntO suits
against the Kansas Pacific and Union
Pacific railroad companies.
At the time the matter YVES before the
legislature last winter it was considered
advisable that soEe counsellor OF nation
al reputation and standing in the
legal profession, as well as one who was
removed from all faint of local inf1u-
ence, be employed and the members Of
the committee having the matter in
charge as we'll as many other prominent
members OF the house and senate having
expressed desire that the state have
the benefit of the eminent ability and
experience of this leader Of anti monop-
oily thought, correspondence was OPEN
ed with him Immediately on the
adjournment of the legislature,
which resulted in his employment,
Judge Black was peculiarly fitted for
such service. He had been engaged in
many other legal controversies where
the interests of the whole people were
piited against tie counter interests of
some giant corporation, and the bent of
his mind was strongly in favor of the
people and against corporate encroach-
mcnts. The state was fortunate in Sc
curing his services. Alter his employ
mont he had made the principles IN
volVed his special study, and had in a
recent letter expressed himself as ready
for the argument and confident of the
success Of the proceeding. By his death
the state suffers great loss, although
the attorney general expresses himself
the state and United States supreme
court. Other equally eminent counsel
may be found and probably some such
will be employed, but few possess the
peculiar fitness of the first selection OF
the governor and attorney general. a
retainer of 1850 was paid Judge Black
upon employment, but the balance Of
his compensation was to be dependent
on the successful issue OF the suits.
Governor Click and Attorney General
Johnston have not had any consultation
yet as to who will be employed IL Judge
Blacks stead Roscoe C0nkiing, CLAIR
ence A. Seward and Ben Butler have
been suggested. The death of Mr..
Black will probably occasion some de-
lay as the attorney general desires the
united efforts of his assistants through
the entire proceeding. This win MOI

nent of the hearing in the supreme
court, where a hearing will &c had not
