Accountant ChaIIinOr FtIes His i;.pors
With the Governor.
State Accountant Challinor has fled
with the governor his report on the ex-
animation of the state university affairs.
He highly commends the university's sys-
tenn of keeping its accounts, and says the
bills, vouchers, etc, are in excellent or
der, and the books are kept like those of
"a well conducted commercial house"
He condemns the law which makes one
person the secretary, treasurer and pur-
chasing agent, but can find no ground for
criticism of the present incumbent,
Moody.
He says that the regents will do just
as Chancellor Snow says, and are COM
pletely under his influence, not daring to
"cross" him. He says as now conducted,
the university is 'endeavoring to rival
Harvard, while the state does not require
this nor the condition of the finances of
Kansas warrant it"
He says the state pays $4,000 for sal
aries and $20,000 for supplies and appa-
ratus; that the cost per student Is $l14,
against $54 at the agricultural college
and $18 at the state normal. lie says
the salaries are too high, too many assist
anus 6Iu plOyGU 1AQ LOO udHJ OP-
tional studies offered; that certain
professors have to solicit stu
dents to join their classes to
keep the professors occupied. That a
''re- arrangement by the regents is neces-
sary." He criticises severely a practice
he says is in vogue of allowing profess
ors to go to Europe on pay to complete
their studies, while their classes are
turned over to assistants, aud says that a
professor has been thus sent To Europe.
and on his return Immediately accepted
position in another institution outside
of Kansas and the state thus deprived OF
any benefit

WHAT THE PRINCE EATS.
Wales Always Takes His Own Cigars to 81
Dinner Party.

LONDON. Aug. 31.-The English papers
which have always objected to what they
style american personal journalism"
this week descended from their heights
of criticism, and contented themselves
with publishing long detailed accounts
of what the Prince of Wales eats and
drinks on public occasions.
According TO the authorities cited by
the papers, the prince has always been d
moderate eater. He invariably requests
that the dinner shall not be prolonged
more than an hour and never permits
more than three toasts.
Special dishes are always provided
for the Prince, who Invariably brings
two bottles of mis- champagne and rarely
samples the wine provided for the
other guests"
The Prince of Wales, according to the
same authority, also brings a case of his
own cigars with him These cigars are
very large, and are manufactured for his
own private use from the very. best to-
bacco grown in Cuba.

He Is Believed to Have ElOped With One
of His Congregation.

of His Cong regation.
MASON, O., Aug. 3L-The disappear
ance of Rev. J. W. Shorten, pastor of the
Methodist church here, last Tuesday,
followed by the disappearance on
Wednesday of Miss Maggie oyer, one of
his congregation, has caused inteuse ex-
citement here.
This is intensified by the fact that
Shorten was repeatedly disciplined here
for too much fondness for Miss oyer,
and that he was to be tried by
the conference at Hamilton, for the same
offense, and furthermore. that both mis-
represented where they were going.
The deacons visited Cincinnati today
and learned that man arriving on Tues
day, and woman on Wednesday, left as
man and wife for Philadelphia last night
by the Baltimore and Ohio. This with
the description increased their alarm.
Mrs. Shorten believes her husband inno-

nights engagement at the Opera
house last night. The weather
was so cold and wind so high, that
few people had the temerity to
venture out to any places OF
amusement, but a few hundred
braved the storm and attended this
performance, and all were we'll re-
warded.
The training OF the dogs and
horses is very thorough and they
all worked very we'll, as we'll,
In fact, as II they had been

and seemed perfectly sccustom-
ed to the glare Of the footlights'
the music of the orchestra, ap-
plause of the people and the many
queer curtains, flies and usual
stage furniture.
The most difficult feats known to
the animal trainers art were ex-
acted Of them and they responded
with alacrity and cleverness that
caused great satisfaction to the be-
holders.
The pyramid formed by dogs
was very pretty, the sur
mounting pinnacle Of which was
made by the trained goat.
The military drill was quite per-
feet, and the clown dog, Major, was
very comical. The leaping, the
somersaults, and all other tricks OF
this fine collection Of educated,
animals were done In fine style, the
whole being we'll worth the price
