Secretary Thurber's Story

Mr.. Cleveland trusts more to his pri-
vate secretary than he ever did, and
more than any of his predecessors did.
1t Is the common thing to hear one of.
f1cial telling another what Mr.. Thurber
has informed him as to the Presidents
probable action, and the forecast is
accepted as entitled to as much
weight as II the words of the President
were being quoted. AS to what Mr..
Thurber thinks Of his enlarged re.
sponsibilities. his own way Of answer
ing is very good. A Detroit friend
wanted to know how he was getting
along. and whether he had been as
successful In the Office as he antici-
pated.
"Well," said Mr.. Thurber, "I think
may say, as old Captain Terwilliger
Of Detroit, that have been in a meas

ger was well-known character In
Detroit. He was missed from his ac-
customed haunts for time. When he

"Well, lost it, honest. Ma sent me

"Well, here's your dime"

Next morning another boy, with the

State University Safe.

The idea that may have and doubt
less has prevailed to some extent re-
garding the effect of the failure of the
last legislature to appropriate money
for the state university, to the effect
that its running expenses would be
curtailed should at once be dispelled
The recent decision by the Attorney
General in which he held thai the
county clerks should make the levy
in the various counties to provide the
amount SeU apart by the legislature
for the current university fund has
had the effect of stirring up the cOun-
ty clerks and county commissioners
n some Of the counties, resulting in a
refusal to make the levy.
The county commissioners of
Franklin county, at Ottawa, have re-
fused to make the levy and it is re-
ported that Sedgwick county will also
refuse to take the action required.
A number of other county officers are
in Quandary which will probably re-
suit in their refusal to make any effort
to make the levy.
The refuSals Of county clerks and
county commissioners to act in this
matter will not in the least interfere
with the status of the state univer-
sity, although the funds derived from
the levy are for the purpose Of defray-
ing current expenses Of the inStitu-
tiOn.
A section of the statute governing
this matter says that in the event the
levy made does not produce the sum
required by the university, the money
or such part of it as is necessary,
shall be taken from the general reye-
nue. fund. If counties in the state
should make sufficient levieS to raise
$4,000 towards the current expense
fund, there would remain a balance
Of 5O,OOO as the legislature provided
nat 100000 should be placed at the
disposal of the university for that
purpose. The remainder would be
taken from the general revenue fund.
Whatever should be the action of
the counties in refusing to make the
levy ordered by the State Board of
Equalization, the university will be
supplied with money from the general
revenue fund under the provisions of
the statutes. Some of the county
officers are disposed to ignore the
matter and permit the university to
get along as best it can under circum-
stances that would arise, but compe-
tent legal authority says the institu-
tion will not be affected in any man.

Our Morals.

The following extract from letter
written by W. E. Curtis from Japan
is sweet morsel for the pesSimist as
well as a slam upon our civilization
and religion in which there is fully
enough truth to cause any true
American to blush with shame. Mr.
Curtis elicits the following from a
Buddhist priest:
at is a serious question whether
your morals are any better than ours.
An American friend Of mine in Yoke
hama recently showed ne a book
written by a great English HUMANE
tartan that tells what Christ would
see if he came to Chicago. l am sure
that he would not see any such wick
ednesS in Japan.
Suppose our emperor should be in
duced to accept Christianity as
national religion, as some of your mis-
sionaries have suggested he might do
and before doing so he should send q
commission to the great Christian ma
tiOnS to ascertain what effect your re
ligiOn has had upon the morals o.
your people.
"They would De compelled to report
that there is no such folly and wicked
ness and degradation in Toxic, or il
any of our large cities, as they would
find in London and Paris, New York
and Chicago, and when the statistic
of poverty and crime were compared
1 am very sure the emperor would be
convinced that Buddhism was bette
suited to the welfare of JAPAN"

Corbett and Fitz Meet ,

Philadelphia, Aug. 1O.-Champion
James ]. COrbett and Robert Fitz-
simmons had an impromptu set-to to-
night in the bar room of Green's
hotel, but neither man was injured.
Both men are staying at Geeen's
hotel. COrbett reached this city
about 1l:3O tonight from Wilmington,
where he spared four rounds with
John McVey, He, in company with
his brother Joe and some friends,
went to their hotel, where they met
FitZsimmOns in the bar room. COrbett
walked up to the New Zealander and
said:
swell, you're shooting off your
mouth again about me funking out
Of that bicycle race, and saying that
you would pull my nose. Now I'll do
some nose pulling" With this re-
mark the big champion gave Roberts
nose a smart tweak.
The two men clinched, but before
any damage was done they were ser
arated.
FitzSimmOnS then turned upon Joe
Corbett, who had grabbed the lanky
fighter and attempted to butt him
with his head. Joe broke away at
the same time saying: "You big g
- you can't whip me, to say moth
ing of my brother"
Fitzsimmons reached around, pick
ed up decanter and hurled it at Joe
COrbett, but it went wide Of its mark.
He then grabbed a caster and was in
the act of throwing it at young Cor
bett when he was seized Iby special
officer.
When the quarrel had apparently
been SmOothed over, Jim walked over
to Fitzsimmons and spat into his
face. The New Zealander was appar-
emily not anxious to tackle the cham
pion and FitzSimmons was taken out
of the hotel by some friends.

The t,ause of II.

lUt tuuct vi III.
The vacancies to be filled by the
election which was held Friday by
the End regiment X. n. G., at Wich-
tia were caused by Brigadier General
Corbett's request that all field officers
resign, issued some weeks ago. All Of
the officers Immediately rendered
their designations except Lieutenant
Colonel Hoagland.
The candidates for the various
offices have been making a canvass of
the members Of the companies in the
regiment. P, NJ. H0iSingtOD Of New
ton is candidate for colonel; J. T.
ShOwalter of Wellington, Fred Lewis
of Marion, Major Ed Hayes, Of We'll
lingtOn and U. S. Hoagland are candi-
dates for lieutenant colonel.
The reasons for calling this election
and requesting the old officers to re-
sign arose ia a complication brought
about by the members of the POpu-
list state military board. The regu-
latiOns of the guard require that all
changes in the rules, promotions, etc.,
10 the guard shall be announced
through general orders. The menu
bers of the military board invalidated
their action by neglecting to comply
with that regulation.
At meeting held in Topeka the
members of the board determined to
appoint the officers of the second
regiment whereas the regulations pro-
vided that such officers should be
elected. The change in the regula-
tions was duly made and the officers
were appointed. The proceedings
thus far were legal and proper but the
members of the board did not pro-
coed far enough. After deciding to
make change in the rules governing
the selection of the officers of the
regiment the members of the board
did not promulgate in any manner the
record of their action in making such
change.
In view of the fact that the men,
berS of the board had violated one Of
their own regulations, the Attorney
General after carefully investigating
the matter reported to the new state
military board that in his opinion the
action of the board was illegal and
that the appointments made and COM
missions issued to the officers of the
second regiment were both invalid
and illegal.
Acting upon the authority of the
opinion by the attorney general the
new board members determined to
right the wrong and Brigadier Gener-
al COrbett requested the designations
of the officers which were Immediate
ly rendered with the exception Of Mr..
Hoagland, who did not accede to the
demand from the officer who called
the election which took place at
Wichita Friday to correct the error.
The election resulted in the cleo
tiOn Of the following officers: P. NJ.
Hoisington of Newton, colonel; R. A.
Campbell, Hutchinson, lieutenant
colonel; E. Hayes, Wellington, senior
major; Chas. H. Weiser, Eureka, jun
iOr major. Major Hayes was elected
without dissenting vote. He posi-
lively declined to accept a colOnelcy
upon the subject, and hence he was
unanimously elected to the next low.

Of the city cemetery. Old debts
which induced compassion for the old
man, have been paid, and now the
mayor desires a change, but he seems
to be pOwerless to secure it.
So the war goes on and Wellington
is split into factions. Half Of the
people, backed by the council, de-
mands the retention of their favOrite

headed by the mayor, refuses to die
unless newer and younger man is
authorized to lay their bodies away"

know is unknown, but the trend of
the above article seems to indicate
that some of our combination mayors
forces have spoken. Wellington's
people are all peaceful so far as the
grave digger question is concerned
and whatever may develop in that
line will cause no blOOdshed. No fac
tions exist; no demands are made by
the people regarding who shall pull
the weeds from their graves, and no
one has refused to die. No demand
for troops will likely be made to set
tie this much troubled question, nor
will the fight extend beyond the cOun-
