| State Teachers Association Notes.
The Modocs will sing for the enter.
tainment of the teachers sometime dur.
ing the association.
Members who paid fees last year are
required to pay but so cents, the annual
fee; all others are charged 81 as men,
bership fee.
The State Teachers association does
not restrict itself to any particular class,
but invites to its meetings and into it's
membership all citizens of Kansas who
are interested in education.
The papers opening each subject in
the day sessions are limited to twenty
| minutes. The discussions announced will
be limited to five minutes each, so as to
leave ample time for the further consid-
Grafton of each topic.
The committee feel warranted in an
nouncing that the. customary reduced
rates over the railroads in Kansas will
be given, as some of them have already
promised rate of one fare for the round
trip. AS soon as it is possible to obtain
it, full information will be published for
the benefit of all who propose to attend.
Ex-State Superintendent Winans,
president of the association, will be pres
ent and deliver the opening address. He
will, however, be unable to remain but
one evening, when the duties of the
president will devolve upon the vice
president, Superintendent j. W. Cooper,
of the Newton schools.
The supreme court has advanced the
case of the Marion military company,
which Adjutant General Artz wishes to
disband. Under ordinary circumstances
this case would not be heard for three
years, but the court will NO be able to
reach it at the March sitting.
For the seventh time the Kansas State
Dairy association will meet in annual
session December, 6, and 8. The
meetings are to be held in Representa-
tive hall and it is expected that the fine
programme that has been arranged will
attract large attendance. The Topeka
men who are down for papers are A. E.
Jones, on "Private Dairying" R. L.
Wright, ''The Work of Our Association
W. H. Cheney, Milking" and Hon. J.
G. Otis, "Legislative Need of Dairy In
terest." The association will give 500
in premiums at this meeting for butter
and cheese. A number of manu-
facturers also offer prizes and will ex-
hibit their dairy appliances.
A number of members of the Kansas
blouse of 1892 have written to Hon.
McCown Hunt, of Leavenworth, secreta-
ry of the said organization, requesting
that he call that body together at Tope-
ko. The letters uniformly advance the
idea of holding reunion and hand
shake over the recent great victories in
Kansas and throughout the east. It
seems probable that the desired meeting
and reunion will be held.
Eugene Hagan, of Topeka, has been
appointed by Judge Williams, of the
United States district court, as referee
in the case of the United States against
the Leavenworth Coal company. The
case was brought some time ago by
District Attorney Ady and is to deter
mine matters in dispute regarding the
mining of coal on government land near
Leavenwoath, involving about 100000
in money and the validity of the COM
pany's lease.
The Kansas State Dental association,
through it's attorney, Arthur B. Gala
ham, has begun a war against the nom
registered dentists of the state. It will
be kept up until the entire number in
the state have been prosecuted. The law
makes it a misdemeanor to practice den
tistry, unless the dentist is registered
with the state board of dentistry. About
thirty non-registered dentists are doing
business throughout the state, and it is
against these that legal action will be
begun
The state board of railroad assess
ors recently received the first copies of
their printed volume from the state
printer It is larger than usual this
year, including besides the necessary
figures, a long article on Railroad AS
sessments,n evidently written by Lieu
tenant Governor Daniels as defense of
the action of the board in raising the
present assessment. At the back of the
book is a reeapitulation which will be
useful to railroads, and which has never
been published before.
At the meeting nm Topeka of the Sun
Flower club, composed of insurance
special agents and adjusters, Harrison
Clarkson gave the results of his tests of
fire doors. Mr.. Clarkson showed his
audience what he considered the best
door for fire projections. 1t was made of
wood and covered with tin. Expert
ments with some of these doors were
made at Bromich's boiler works, and
it was proven that they could be sub
