From the Advocate.
Capt. Grant returned Wednesday
from his visit to wife and friends in
Indiana.
Prof. Looney, democratic candidate
for superintendent, was ''doing'' our
city the first of the week.
The school attendance this week is
126. The first week the attendance
was SO; showing an increase of 80
since that time.
The race last Sunday between White
Sam. backed by Sam Thomas. and the
Shorts pony, was easily won by the
former.
Mrs. Frank Baker left Monday even
ing to visit friends in Emporia, Coun-
Gil Grove and Kansas City. She will
be absent several weeks.
He. Benke, a school teacher from
State Center, made us pleasant call
Wednesday. He is a radical democrat
and our readers may look for some
thing from his pen in the near future.
One of the happiest gatherings seen
for long time could have been seen
last Sunday at the residence of our es-
teemed citizen, John Wolf. He and
his wife sat on Veranda surrounded by
group of fourteen babies and their
mothers, there being two pairs of
twins.
Mr.. E. l.. Hotchkiss is one of the
ablest lawyers and orators in central
Kansas. He is a young man, and like
the mass of young democrats, is a
progressive man. He is thoroughly
posted on the questions of the day,
knows what his constituents need, and
is SO entirely one of the people, that
when he rises in the legislative halls at
Topeka, this winter, as representative
of Barton county, it will be the people
of the county, not E. L. Hotchkiss, that
is represented. Mr.. HotchkisS life has
been busy and a public one since he
entered his profession, and his knowl'
edge of men, his courage and his strict
honesty are the strongest of assurances
that he can neither be ''wheedled."

valley in which Bamian is situated
bordered by precipitous cliffs Of
hard conglomerate rock; and in H.
sides of one of the cliffs five immons
statues have been cut out of n,
solid rock, the largest of which il ny
less than 173 feet in height. When !;
is remembered that the Statue Of IL
erty in New York harbor is but 1877 foa,
high, the immense proportions of iii,
remarkable work OF antiquity will h,
better appreciated. The interior d
this niche was covered with paintings n
human figures, some Of which ore sim
we'll preserved. Rude galleries and
staircases are cut in these figure,
by which access can be gained
to the heads, the same as in on,|
modern colossal statues. Some tima|
after the completion of the statue it'd
draperies were formed by masses n
stucco nodded into their proper shaps|
and fastened to it. Numerous hola,
still visible, are said to have been
made for the purpose OF holding ths
stucco in place. The general appear
ance of these statues indicate that ther
were the work of the Buddhist monks
who were very numerous in this region
about the time of the Christian era
The largest one, at least, was doubtless
meant to be representation of Budd!a
They were probably made about Ion
years ago. Alexander the Great passe
through this valley in the four;
century before Christ, but the his !
torians of his expedition make nd
mention Of them. A Chinese pilgrim
Huen Tsang, visited Bamian about g.
A. D., and gave the first description
which we have any knowledge; bn
even then the statues were very old
and the handful Of monks remaining
would have been utterly incapable
