Work at the Dam.

Work at the dam is going steadily
on. The third Golfer, in which the
stone is now being laid. is eighty feet
long, and the bottom is reached twelve
feet below water level.
As the construction progresses across
the river the solid rock is farther down
and the Golfers will naturally have TO
be deeper and of broader base. At the
north end the masonry will be thirty
feet wide and twenty five feet below
water.
The weather at present is very favor.
able for the work, and it is beng
pushed as fast as possible. Nothing
short OF eight or ten degrees below
zero, however, will stop the work, and
even then it could probably be con-
tinued by heating water. as the stone
work on the lower part OF the Golfers is
SO far underground as to be much
warmer than the air above.

Kansas Medical College.


The Kansas Medical college is q
young institution, but it promises to
make Topeka the medical ceuter OF the
state.
When it was opened last year its
founders had some misgivings concern
ing it's success, but the short career OF
the school has demonstrated that the
experiment was timely. 1t is the only
institution of It's kind in the state, and
is securing the support Of the medical
fraternity throughout the state.
The present quarters OF the college
are too small and steps are being taken
to put up college building.
The president. DR.. Minney. said: I'VE
find that we haven't room enough in
the present building, and it is probable
that next year We will try to put up
college building of our own. We
thought when We founded the school
that if 1t received a support to justify
it We would build as soon as possible,
and We are very well satisfied with the
results of the school. We have twice
as many matriculants AS last year, and
1 find the interest in the college grow
ing stronger every day. The Kansas

Bursts into little shout;
Kitty, too, is in a fair way,
Where she hides, to giggle out
As the bell goes cling a-ling-ing
Every minute more and more,
And swift feet 60 springing. springing,
Through the hallway to the door.
Where glimpse of box and packet,
And little rustic. rustic.

Such jolly hustle, hustle
