In clipping the Kansas City Times
correspondence published Tuesday In
regard to the Walkup case We did not
notice that it contained q paragraph re-
hecting upon the late associate editor of
the Emporia Daily Republican. The facts
are, as we are informed by Mr. Graham,
that for business reasons he offered his
resigna as associate editor OF the Re
publican on Monday. October 10Th,
which was the first day OF the Walkup
trial, and 1t was accepted on the ID day
of this month. The statement of the
Kansas City Times reporter Is. therefore,
mistake. Mr.. Grahsm's reputation
for integrity of purpose aud fair dealing
is well known IN this community, and
he needs no commentator from US TO
satisfy our readers that he is thorough
ly upright and conscientious man.

Cause bad presented the subject IN the
best light possible.

illustrate her methods Miss Cost brought
her own primary class from District 43
Standing before 30 large an audience the
little oaes were at first absshed and

Prof. Dlnsmore's paper on physiology
was then read by that gentleman, after
which he conducted an exercise ir

original. The discussion Of that papeI
was but an expression Of the spproba-
