Emporia Republican: The queerest
strike on record took place on the street
car line, which completely blocked all
business by the company until otter
nine o'clock, when work was resumed,
the corporation winning the contest, but
not however, without considerable kick
ing on the part OF the strikers. The strike
was caused undoubtedly, as usual, by a
walking delegate who entered the barns
OF the company and loosened all the
mules, which, when the doors were
opened, rushed out en- masse and went
tearing through Main street with tails
flying like banners. 1t took several
hours to capture the runaways.
The joint meeting of the Northeast
and Southeast Teachers associations,
that will be held in Lawrence In Che
first week in April, was arranged &C..
by meeting Of the two executive
committees. There will be a program
lasting through three days and there are
forty different people who will take part
in il. The session will be held at Kan
sas university. 1t is expected thst there
will be at least 800 strangers in the city
at the time Of the meeting. Details
not arranged at this meeting of tho
committees have been left in the hands
of County Superintendent PEARS and
City Superintendent Stanley. aM
1t has been reported that fifty stu
dents at Kansas university have been
dismissed by the faculty on account Of
failure to pass the required examina-
tions. Upon inquiry it is found that
only fifteen have suffered dismissal, the
fewest dismissed in the last three years.
OF these, two are members Of the foot
ball team and three Of the glee club.
But this is in no way indicative Of the
scholarship or standing OF the remaining
members Of the clubs as whole. The
average of the glee club is 80 per cent,
and Of the football eleven So per cent,
showing higher average grade Of schol-
arship than can be found in any other
organization or class of equal numbers
In the university. .

der and George e. Hale, to succeed them
selves, their terms having expired;

sence from the city prevented hisserving
longer The library last month did the
largest business OF it's, history. Nearly
every month now shows an increase over
the one preceding. In January $500
books were loaned, while the largest
month OF all last year was $780, Mrs.
Lewis, the librarian, expects that the
completion OF the catalogue will make
still greater increase in the library circu-
lation. The catalogue will be out this
spring. nl'.
