1t is to be hoped that the Legisla-
ture this session will provide room
in the Statchouse for the library of
the State Historical Society. 1t is a
matter in which every part of the
state is interested. The materials
of the history of the whole state are
being saved in this library. 1t is
the most remarkable library in the
country. in that it is preserving the
regular issues of all the news
papers published in Kansas, and
has been for nineteen years past.
of Cherokee county, there are now
in the library 135 volumes of news
papers, of years from 1876 to 1894.
In all, the library contains 1O,6S9
volumes of Kansas newspapers.
These have been the free gift to the
state by the publishers. They who
gave them can reasonably demand
that they should be cared for.
These files alone are worth more 10
the people of Kansas than all the
Historical Society has ever cost the
state. But the library not only
contains newspaper files, but books,
pamphlets manuscripts, pictures,
and numberless historical relics.
The institution has created world
wide interest, and has attracted
gifts from every quarter, until 1t
numbers now nearly $1,000 volumes
The plans of the state capitol made
many years ago, make no adequate
provision for this library. For
want of room, the library has been
crowded into announcement basement
and cellar rooms, and considerable
part stored in packing boxes. A
small portion of the vast room in
the capitol building, If set apart4cr
the use of this lihSary now, would
accommodate il for manyyears. The
Legislature should provide rooms
for its immediate use, and direct
that in the completed capitol build
ing there shall be prepared ample
and suitable room for it's future
growth.

For the last day or 50 Street Foreman
Killeen has been making extensive I'M
provemenks ON several Of the principal
streets. The last heavy storm had
washed great deal Of refuse ana eartn
from the various hills and deposited
Il upon the streets. Besides this II
had washed q great deal Of the roadpeo
out at places, leaving stones large anu
small exposed on the surface. AT ehe
last meeting Of the council the street
foreman was ordered to remove these
stones. and Mr.. Killeen's work was
done accordingly.
On Spring street a gutter has peeh
opened and the appearances OF the stree.
greatly improved. Mr.. killeen Is at
present working on Lincoln avenue
which Is sadly In need of repairs. the
roadbed will probably be filled In the
entire length of the street. Already nte

has been filled in and the rest will be
completed within a few days. WASH

Hugh Atkenson yesterday placed sew
eral men at work repairing the Ohurch
street pave. The work done by Hart 4
Dunn was not properly finished ana
some of the bricks will have to come
up and be relaid. The councils had
foreseen this and withheld part OF the
contract price to defray this expense.
Attention Of Street Committee.
We would like to call the attention OF
the street committee to several PAD
spoAs. At the Union depot there Is quite
a Large spot in the pavement which
has sunk TO a considerable depth. This
is in a spot where traffic Is very heavy
and makes It dangerous to teamsters,
and especially to bicyclists.
Another place which Is receiving COM
plants is at the White bridge. Here
the planking has become broken In and
a large hole left. Through which a mans
or horses foot could easily pass. This
should be looked after before the city
has another lawsuit pending.
The Belmont Pave.
People are wondering when work Will
h. commenced on the Belmont pave.
Thae passed both councils and the con-
tract awarded. However, the Traction
company, which was to pave part, has
done nothing as yet, and there Is no
prospect of 1t getting their immediate
Alteration. It will probably be year
or SO before they do anything with 1t,
as they are proverbially slow.
