ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT.

There Is more ObSeQuiousness upon
| the part Of presidents professors and
tutors OF some Of the Kansas educa-
tonal Institutions than there seems to
he any call for. Their servility is
humiliating. If otherwise capable and
qualified there ought to be no necessity
for cringing and crawling. 1t would
seem that with the professors of the
State university that drunkenness and
profanity are recommendations rather
than disgrace, or otherwise that
they are guilty Of the fawning to
which we allude. When Senator
Rogers, who is at the same time q
regent Of that institution, was charged
with conduct unbecoming an officer
by the chairman Of the state central
committee and his removal demanded,
q number Of professors of the uniyersi-
ty, 1t Is said, rushed In with a defence
over their signatures In the mean-
time the charges against Rogers have
been proven to be true This leaves
the said professors in a pltiable light.
That university IS costing the people
of kansSs about two thousand dollars
week. BY some manipulation or
other instead Of getting their money
from the state treasury through an
itmeized appropriation bill. they re-
ceive a hundred thousand in 4 lump
sum which is divided up to suit them
selves This fact ought to make all
hands pretty independent, but the only
independent element seems TO be the
students who held ameeting and passed
a string Of resolutions affirming the
truth Of the charges made against

Posse of Enraged Men Now Out Hunt

to Mrs. Cronk's Estate
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

JEFFERSONyILLE, Ind. Aug. IA
thickly populated neighborbood, two miles
east Of here. is excited over the actions
OF a nude man who will be summarily
dealt with if caught. For some weeks an
unknown man has been seen frequently on
the middle road" leading from this city
to Charlestown, and he was always per-
fectly nude when seen. 1t was noticed
that he took pains to show himself when
ever he saw any ladies approaching. but
not until yesterday did he offer violence to
anyone Yesterday morning Mrs. Edward
Bottorff was driving from this city TO her
home. a distance of four miles. and had
just entered the woods which skirt the
road. when she was startled to see the man
coming towards her on a run. He leaped
into the road and attempted to stop her
horse, but she struck the animal several
sharp blows, causing 1t to spring forward,
and escaped. She drove rapidly to the resi-
dence of Trustee Henry Nochand and re-
lated her adventure.
Another case is that Of Mrs. John Meis-
ner, whose husband is employed in Louis
vile. She drives to the city twice a day,
bringing her husband in the morning and
returning for him in the evening. Mrs.
Meisner was told of the occurrence and
warned against the man. Wnen Sne started
to the city to-day she had a revolver be-
side her in the buggy. She had reached
Fulton grove, a strip of woods near the
edge of this city, in safety, when she saw
the naked man appear In the woods run
ming towards her. She whipped up her
pony, but the man leaped the fence, grab
bed the horse, and attempted to seize Mrs.
Meisner. She dropped the lines. snatched
up her revolver and fired. The bullet did
not hit the fiend and she fired several more
shots after the man turned and fled. None
of the bullets took effect, she was much
excited and admits she fired wildly.
Miss India Williams, Mrs. William Die
bell and several other ladies have seen the
man, who INDUCED in disgusting actions
before them, and started toward them with
the evident intention of stopping them,
but they all escaped by whipping up their
horses.
Mrs. Meisner related her story to her
husband when she met him this evening
and he organized a posse at once and is
now searching for the man. If caught the
villain will be summarily dealt with.
Sheriff Davis is also after him. The man
is white. apparently about thirty-f1ve years
cid, and has sandy hair and mustache.
1t Is thought he sleeps In a deserted cabin
near the road. He steals what he eats.
The female population is in a state Of terror
and the male population Is terribly ex-
cited, threatening to lynch the man II
thew can catch him..

BIZ Picnic AT Htstorfc Bush creek.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS. Ind. Aug. 1.-THE twenty
third annual picnic and celebration of the
Bush Creek Sunday school was held just
south of this city to-day. not far from the
childhood home OF S. Edgar Nicholson, and
this gentleman was the principal speaker.
He was well received and made a strong
plea In behalf Of good citizenship. Azalia Is
the birthplace of Mr.. Nisholson, and IL is
where his boyhood days were spent. II was
the intention OF the founder of Azalia TO
make that place the county seat An exam
nation or the county records regarding
Azalia to-day developed the fact that the
public square was set of for a courthouse,
and that IL has never been occupied. A
few hundred yards from the vacant square
on White river. is a vacant spot OF land
intended for a steamboat landing. Azalia
was laid out in 1922. and on the original
plot Is found the following in the handwrit-
ing of Its founder:
"Arise. Azalia: arise: may thy walks be
unknown to the sluggard. the gambler ard
the drunken sot."
While Azalia has not arose. there being
not over three score souls there. her walks
have been unknown to the class OF citizens
above mentioned, and not even a drug store
has, been established there.
