ering and preserving the elements Of
it's most wonderful history, people
throughout the country who had these
materials, as q kindly labor OF love and
patriotism, placed them in the keep
ing Of tho society, where they would
ever do good, and whore they would
remain accessible for tho instruction
of the studious for all time.
It stands as an incontestible fact
that in every state where state his
torical societies exist, maintained in
whole or in part by the state, such
societies are given the complete con-
troll, so to speak, Of making up a his
toriCal, miscellaneous political and
scientific library for the use Of the
people.
AS a matter of history Of something
that, fgurstively speaking, twas done
in the corner" il is fitting TO refer to
an occurrence OF Legislative history
80 irregular and obscure as TO invoke
careful attention al the hands Of dis
passionate lawmakers, who have a
jealous regard for the public veal Of
this great and growing common
wealth.
So let it be said that in the session
OF the Kansas Senate of 1889, after
all Legislation had ceased as such,
and some Of the Senators had depart
ed for their homes, TO wit, in the
afternoon Of March 2, 1889, Hon.
Charles II. Kimball, who occupied a
seat in the Senate from Lsbette
county, offered Senate resolution No
81.
That the plain, sturdy people Of
Kansas may have some knowledge OF
the inception OF this work, the follow
ing is a copy of the matter found on
page 991 Of the Senate journal Of
1889. Senator Kimball offered SEN
ate resolution No. 81, as follows:
Whereas, The statutory provisions relating to
powers and duties Of the various state depart
ments, boards and commissioners are In many In
stances vague and indefinite, and without the
precision and dlreOtness requisite 10 the intelll
gent, gystematCal and methOdlcal conduct Of
state AFFAIRS and che guidance of state officers
and others intTuSted with che management OF In
BtitutiOns and the expenditure Of public funds;
therefore be II
Resolved by the Senate, That a committee Of
ive members OF the Senate be appointed, whose
duty t shall be 20 revise and cOdiiy all existing
laws or II in their Judgment the public interests
90 demand, prepare for submission at the next
regular session OF che Legislature, bills specl-
IDEALLY defining the powers and duties OF state
officers, heads Of departments, boards and COM
misslOnerS created by law, and laws providing
for the state printing. Said committee shall
make its report In writing TO the Governor on or
before the lst day Of December, 1890, and the
Governor is hereby requested 10 have the report
printed, and 10 transmit copy thereof
10 each member elect OF the next House and
Senate before the COnveulng Of the Legislature
OF 1891. The members Of Che committee shall re-

per diem and mileage In attending meetings as
10 allowed 10 state Senators. The committee Is
authorized 70 employ secretary, who shah re-

or Kansas was Established ana Gully
organized TOR tho express purpose Of
gathering and preserving the scat
tered materials OF more than two de-
Cades Of the peculiarly evontful his
tory which had then transpired in the
territory and state of Kansas
IL particularly undertook as q vol
untary association the work Of get
ting up collections OF valuable his
tory 80 that nothing be lost for the
reason that neither the Kansas state
library nor any other institution Of
Che state had undertaken TO do this
work.
The historical society brought It's
collections into the state house and
placed them in receptacles furnished
by the state officers Of Kansas who
appreciated the inherent value Of this
initial movement
The state assumed the expenses Of
this work, which payments have from
the beginning been comparatively
small, and thus the society obtained
permanent quarters in the state house,
making the library and the varied
historical collections as the permsn-
ent property Of this great common
wealth.
The primary object Of gathering,
preserving, arranging and oatalog-
ing the materials of the history Of
Kansas has been so expanded that
the library has grown into a general
historical, political and scientific
library, the works having came into
the society chiefly by donation.
"The play Of Hamlet with Ham
let omitted" would be much the same
as writing the history Of the United
States for nearly the last forty years
with the history Of Kansas left out
of IT,
Indeed from the day that President
Pierce affixed his signature 10 the
Kansas Nebraska bill on that last
spring day Of 1854, there has never
been q continued period of six months
time, IN which Kansas has not furn-
iahed comparatively much more than
It's quota TO Che general history Of the
nation.
The collections in the Kansas State
Historical society most assuredly have
a priceless value and ON a line OF con-
tinuing work tho prospective signih-
canoe Of this great boon is beyond
human estimation. No exSggeratiOn
Of it's magnitude is hardly possible.

interest Of securing bona Jfdo settlers
for Kansas, OF political and religious
organizations, the manuscripts Of

The Kite-Shaped Track.

Budd Doble the noted horseman, in an
interview recently. had this to say about
the kite-shaped track:
The difference between tho kite shaped
and regulation track" said Mr.. Doble, ais
that in the former there Is but one turn,
about a third OF mile, while on the regu-
latlon track there are two turns OF quar-
ter OF mile each, making in all half
mile. Now tracks are measured for the
mile three feat from the pole, but horse
never travels closer TO the pole than five
feet. IL Is plain 10 see, therefore, that
the horse on kite track, making the turn
Of tuird OF n mile five feet from the pole,
has n decided advantage over the horse
travelling n half milo on the turns OF
regular track.
The kite track will not come into gen.
eral use for several reasons" continued
Doble. First OF all, persons who make
racing possible. and having paid their
money TO sec a race. will not be content
with glimpse OF the horses as they score
down for the word. and are only again
seen as they fash under the wire. On a
kite track, In belong stretches, IL Is al
most impossible to determine tho relative
position OF the horses, and whether they
are on their stride. Then another thing
against tho change is that Cleveland. Lex

Pike" was popular. In the year OF
Proctor Knots futurity no lightweight
jockey approached him, either in popu-
larity or success.
Failing fortune decreased his popular
ity. He was the victim first OF circum-
stances and next OF accident. He could
not always keep up his brilliant riding.
Overwork made him stale, and owners
with horses fit sought the services OF
others. Next came the unfortunate acci-
dent in which Jockey Abbas was killed by
the horse ridden by Barnes. Since that
day Barnes has never been really In pos
session Of his old time power. He always
felt that by pulling up and losing the
race ne could have saved the life OF Abbas,
who had been thrown. and was lying in
front OF him. Instead. he went on and
his horse trampled out the life OF the
PROSTATE lad.
