ForeIgners In Kansas.

Prof. w, H. Carouth has an interest
Ing article in tho current number of
tho Kansas University Quarterly on
Foreign Settlements in Kansas. The
following facts arc extracted from his
summaries:
There arc German settlements Of
thirty or moro persons in seventy differ
emit counties, tho settlement being most
dense in central Kansas, in Ellis, Rush,
Barton, Mcpherson, Marion and Dick
inson. Tho southern tiers Of counties
have very few Germans.
There are Scandinavian settlements
numbering thirty or more in forty-three
counties. The largest settlements are in
Mcpherson, Saline, Republic, Riley
Greenwood and Geary.
Bohemians, Poles, Russians or Hun
garians in settlements Of thirty or more
are found in Decatur, Ellsworth, Har-
per, Lincoln, Marshall, Ottawa, Phil
lips Rawlins, Reno, Republic, Riley
Rocks Rush, Scott, Sedgwick, Summer
Trego, Washington and Wichita coun-
ties.
Settlements OF Irish have been made
in seventeen counties, principally Usage,
Marshall, Pottawatomie, Anderson, Ne
maha, Dickinson and Ottawa.
French are found in settlements OF
thirty or more in Cherokee, Clay, Cloud,
Crawford, Doniphan, Graham, Harper,
Harvey, Nemaha, Usage, Pottawatomie,
Rocks, Sedgwick aud Washington coun-
ties.
Italians are found in settlements in
three counties, Cherokee, Crawford and
Sedgwick, and WEIGH in five counties,
Lyons, CofFey, Usage, Riley and Wyan-
dotte. There are settlements of Dutch
in Phillips, Reno and Sedgwick; Scotch
in Cherokee, Labette and Usage, and
English in Clay, Geary, Ellis and Doni-
phan.
Clark, Grant Gray, Hamilton, Has
kell Lane and Morton counties re-
port that they have no settlements Of
people of foreign birth within their bor-
ders.
Church service in a foreign tongue
are held in 65 different counties and
in probably nearly 300 churches. Ser
vices in Russian are held in Scott
county.
More interesting is the number OF
schools conducted in foreign tongue.
The counties having them are: Allen
s., Anderson G., Barton g., Chase g.,
Cheyenne g., Cherokee g., Cloud f.,
Dickinson G. S., Douglas g., Ellis g.,
Ellsworth G., Ford g., Geary G., Gree

MICHIGAN has law requiring for
eign corporations doing business in
the State to file copies of their ar
ticles of incorporation and to pay a
franchise fee to the State. OF course
the act was passed for the purpose
of holding to local accountability
railroad and insurance companies
and similar corporations Of other
States operating in the State. Re-
Gently there was an attempt to en-
force the law and collect the frau-
chise fee against manufacturing and
mercantile companies doing business
under Il charter and selling goods in
Michigan by agents with samples
The Supreme Court has held that
the law does not apply to such cor
porations, and that no franchise fee
is required if they do business in
the State. The decision Is on the
same grounds as tho e holding that
statutes Of States requiring license
fee from commercial travellers and
peddlers is an interference with in
terstate commerce.

ACCORDING to the system Of con-
Quoting elections in Norway it takes
some time to choose members Of a
new Parliament. The voters ballot
for many delegates and these elect
the members. Primary voting began
in the kingdom nearly two months
ago, and is now about completed.
The returns indicate that the radi-
calls, who favor the separation Of Nor
way from Sweden, will not have a
working majority in the new Parlla-
ment, so that the question Of a dis
solution of the union remains an

OUT West the train robbers took
several bags of gold from an express
car; and in Virginia other robbers
captured $l50,O00. These incidents
followed somewhat closely the two
cases in which the companies, having
got wind of intended robberies, not
only defeated the robbers but turned
the tables upon them, and either
killed or captured all the members Of
two bands. Those successes of the
companies have, therefore, not
thrown much of a damper upon this
industry; and perhaps it was too
much to expect that they should do
so. Express companies are sending
across the country at all times safes
containing large sums of money, prac-
tically undefended. No doubt the
robbers have their confederates in
the service of the companies. They
know to the littlest details all the
facts-just how many dollars go by
given train; where that train will be
at a certain hour, and what men
have charge of the money. Tuey

and generally win; for the employees

X. U. Fees.


A suit has been commenced in the
supreme court by the students OF the
Kansas state university to test the
right of the regents of the institution
to exact library, laboratory and gradu-
alton fees from the students, the action be-
ing quo warranto proceeding on rela-
ton of the attorney general.
The question has been in dispute for
some time. Attorney General Kellogg
ruled that the collection of the labor
atory fee was proper and legal, but later
an opinion was given by Attorney Cen
eral Little to the effect that the collec
ton of all such fees was unauthorized
and illegal, on the ground that the
state makes ample appropriations for
the expenses of the university, and that
the statute expressly provides that adj
mission shall be free to all the people of
the state.
No library fee was collected until Sep
TENDER, 1892, when the students OF the
law department we're taxed $5 each. In
1898 the library fee was extended to all
students, and an additional tax OF $40
was imposed on law students. In 1891
the collections of library and laboratory
fees amounted to $1,616.87, and in 1892
the fees collected were $2,466.44. No
report has been received of the collec-
tions for 1893 and 1894.
The law STUDENTS, in some instances,
refused to make the payments and re-
ferred the matter to Attorney General
Little, who decided against the regents.
They renewed their objections and re-
ouested him to bring suit, and engaged
Judge John Il. Morton, of Topeka, to
represent them. The petition shows that
the university receives annually from
the state the sum of $4,000 for current
expenses. In addition thereto, the leg
islature of 1898 appropriated $4,000
for the purpose of keeping up the libra
nv and laboratory for the years of 1894
and 1896, part of the money being
specially appropriated for the purchase
Of books, and $1,000 each year for the
purchase of chemicals. An appropria-
ton Of $4,000 was also made for the
erection and equipment Of the physics
and electrical engineering building, and
another sum of $4,000 for maintaining
and conducting the experimental sta
| ton.
The regents contend that the library
and laboratory fees are not admission
fees, but fees exacted to keep the libra
ry in an available condition, and to pro-
vide extra facilities for students. They
regard the decisions OF Attorney Gener-
al Kellogg and Attorney General Little
as standoff, and continue to charge
the fees on the opinion given by the
law faculty of the institution, that the
charge is just and legal.

STOCK AND FARM.
Second Growth Sorghum.

There has been a large amount OF
discussion concerning the results of pas
turing cattle on second growth, green
Kaffir corn and sorghum. The reports
from various portions of the state have
made two very distinct showings which
it is impossible to explain.
A citizen Of Sumner county has writ
ten TO Secretary Coburn Of the state
board of agriculture, telling of the
death of two COWS that were turned in
to pasture upon the second growth Of
Kaffir corn after it had been cut and
hauled out to feed. The two COWS were
instantly taken sick and died.
Other information tends to show that
stock that were pastured on the second
growth and even turned in on it while
t was green we're not affected in any
manner.
From the circumstances which sur
round the question it appears that the
conditions Of the crop and the cattle
seem to have some influence upon the
general results. Why it is that the Sec
ond growth causes death N some cases
and does not in others is the puzzling
mystery connected with the problem.
Those who are familiar with the condi-
tions and the two crops cannot account
for the varying results.
The fine stud of standard bred horses
on the Toler stock farm at Wichita is to
be permanently dispersed by public sale
next month.
There were 449 cars Of stockers and
feeders taken to the country from Kansas
City, Kan, during the week of Novem-
Der lily, against 271 the same week
year.
The cattle receipts at Kansas City,
Kan, from the first OF January to Nov
ember 20 have been 1907, 408, while for
the same time in st. Louis they were
582,O89, but little over one-third as
