IT is surely the duty of congress
to admit Dakota with her 100000
inhabitants into the sisterhood ot

will lie restless upon pillows, their
little hearts throbbing with expec-

wore little boys and girls! With
what impatient anxiety they await

How they hung up their little
stockings with mistaken confidence
that, inasmuch as they had been
good children, Santa Claus would
assuredly drop down the chimney

post an amount thereof commSn-

lays when they wished time to fly

and rivers, whether flowing be-
neath the rays OF a summer sun or
oridged with icy planks, invited
them to enjoyment!

have been deprived by death OF

little stockings will not appear as

was chosen chairman, and R. L. Lott of
Emporia secretary. After free and full
discussion 1t was decided to postpone

at Leavenworth, for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning more information concerning the
ability of the brotherhood throughout
the state to go forward with this impor-
tant and vital enterprise, and their will
Ingness to contribute the requisite
amount OF money, it being the judgment
of the committee that not less than $780,
coo should be secured before we can ad-
yantageously appeal to the cities of the
state for bids for the location and that
not less than 81 600. 900 should be raised
before the building be commenced.
Meanwhile correspondence will be
carried on with the preachers and
churches IN the state to obtain an esti-
mate of the probable amount OF money
that can be raised in their respective
fields for a state college.
