Chancellor Snow of the state university
read paper on popular Education in
workings of the twenty-five universities
of Germany. He said:
SIT would not be a great surprise to the
writer if Republican form of govern
ment should be established in Germany
by bloodless revolution during the next
quarter of a century. And if this result
should be reached, the influence of the
twenty-five universities upon the masses
of the people will be found to have been
greater than all other influences COM
bined in producing the change.
IF the same rigid educational tests
were applied to the teachers of Kansas
that are applied to the teachers of the
German public schools at least nine
tenths of the present teaching force
would be at once disqualified"

friends had gone on similar errand.
In the afternoon they met and it

Stafford were concerned and asked that
they be allowed to fight it out. This was
agreed to and Thomas and Stafford,
armed with pistols, faced each other at
80 yards and began firing.
Neither was injured by the first ex-
change, and the men advanced on each
other At the second shot Thomas fell,
with bullet in his bowels. Stafford still
advanced on the PROSTATE man, firing,
when Thomas staggered to his feet. and,

SHE HAD SEEN HER.
An Incident Which Shows That On0
Should Not Talk Too Much.

An Incident Which Shows That One
Should Not Talk Too Much.
Here is an incident which, to be ap-
preciated, needs a glance at the sweet
womanly face of the young Mrs. Stan
ton: Mrs. Stanton was summering at
Saratoga, eagerly enjoying the delights
of that fascinating young watering
place half a century ago - merry
young mother, in great demand for her
agreeable manners and sparkling con-
versation, as we'll as for her talented
performances upon the guitar. Chatting
with friend one day, the woman Ques-
tion-that bugbear of the moment-was
brought up. isn't it dreadful" he re-
marked, ito think of a woman so I'M
sexing herself as actually to appear
before the legislature at Albany?' Nat
urally enough, the heroine of this very
shocking procedure protested against
this Interpretation of woman's sphere;
yet, amused by her friends faux pas,
mischievously she led him on.
What kind of a woman is this Mrs.
Stanton?" she inquired.
"Oh, a dreadful kind of woman!"
was the reply. Just the kind of wo-
man one would expect would do such
a thing
do describe her." pleaded his tor
mentor. Tell me more about her."
And he, nothing loath, went on:
We'll, she's a large, notwithstanding
woman, with high cheek-bones and
loud, harsh voice-don't you know
just one of those regular woman's
rights women"
Have you really seen her, or is this
taken from the papers?" she asked,
quietly.
''Of course have seen her; did I not
tell you that I heard her before the
legislature?''
How did she speak?"
''FrightfulIy; it was simply awful
Her strident voice and her masculine
appearance should have been the death
knell to her cause
what is her name, did you say?"
Mrs. Stanton-Mrs. Henry Stanton,
in fact"
why, that's my Manner she said.
"Of course-she's your namesake, so
I thouht you would be Interested. But
I knew it could be no relation of yours.
Ha, ha, hap
Mrs. Stanton rose. 81 am afraid am
She" she said.
OF course there was nothing for him
to do but to confess and grovel.

big mittens and "scorches'' over the fro
zen roads and even over the ice and snow.
If he loves to combine cycling and skat-
ing, he purchases one of tine new ice bicy
Giles and enjoys many fast run over the
cleaning surface of the river or lake. a
year or two ago John S. johnson attracted
considerable attention owing to the fast
time that he made over the ice on pecuI-
lar vehicle that was built exactly like
bicycle except that the front wheel was q
sled runner. The hind wheels tire was fit
the rider pedaled and drove the odd ma
chine forward at high rate of speed.
The machine was called the ice bicycle,
and it will doubtless be popular with many
wheelmen and skaters this winter. Not
long ago Miss Mabel Davidson, who claims
to be the champion ice skater of her sex,
tried one of the ice bicycles in a New York
rink and was very much pleased with the
machine. ST would like to ride 500 miles
if the snow would permit she said. 1.-THE
sensation is quite different from that of
an ordinary bicycle, as there is no joltipg
or humping, which at times seems rude
The ice bicycle is intended not only for
ice riding, but for travelling on snow. The
front wheel of the bicycle, in itself is made
for ice alone, but whom the machine is
used on snowclad roads a metal shoe is
fitted over the skate, and it is claimed that
the machine will carry rider over the
ground, or rather snow or ice at greater
speed than a regulation wheel will.

Some of the Things 1t Did Yesterday and

Some of the Things 1t Did Yesterday and
Last Night.
There were at least 300 persons pres
ent at the opening meetings of the state
board of agriculture yesterday afternoon
and evening.
The afternoon was devoted exclusively
to business, the reading of minutes and
reports taking up a great deal of the
time.
Farmer A. W. Smith was there, and
arose TO enter protest against the cur
falling of the fund for printing reports of
the board.
Mr.. Coburn explained that Mr. Dawes
had protested against the printing of
certain documents, whereupon the board
got even by protesting against Mr.. Dawes.
At the evening meeting, after DR.. Nc
Cabe had invoked the divine blessing
Governor Morrill, had an opportunity to
use his address of welcome once more,
having busted it and carefully erased
the words bankers" "dairymen," ''min-
isters," "teachers," or whatever words he
had inserted in the blank places last
and replaced it with FARMERS, "..except in
one instance where he forgot himself
and said Abankers' and was compelled
to correct it.

who hopes to be able to deliver the next
annual address OF welcome himself re-
piled to the speech and let loose his Uni
versity of Michigan learning in the fol-
lowing howery wave of eloquence:
"Kansas! The birthright of a free
people, the child of an idea in whom the
hopes of nation were ,centered, whose
wealth is principally from the soil, the
most stable of all wealth, whose citizens
are largely engaged in agriculture, the
most conservative, elevating, and reliable
of all occupations.
"Kansas! Distinguished for the
achievements and heroism of her early
sons and daughters,
They had arms that could strike,
They had souls that could dare
And their sons were not born to be slaves
Great in the phenomenal growth of
her cities, her railways, and other in
ternal movements,-in the vast accumu-
lation of her fertile prairies, in her pub
lie and private institutions of learning
and religion, and protection for her un-
fortunate and dependent citizens.
"But grauder still is the promise of the
future of this state. whose foundation
principles are based upon individual lib
erty, education, sobriety and morality,
whose resources are derived from the
bountiful earth, and the motto of whose
ambition surmounts all difficulties and
stops not short of the stars.

John L. snl1ivan,s New Piece For 1895

John Lawrence Sullivan is beloved in
Chicago, for he has been known to
f'smash'' bartender who offered to give
him back some change after receiving a
$40 bill. The ''big fellow didn't want to
have his pockets full of small bills.
Any one who burned money in that
manner necessarily inspired respect. His
friends will tell, with the tre1nble of pa
thos in their voices, how the 'big fellow"
worked for 40 weeks in one season at $500
a week and then had to go to New York
and have q benefit in order to 'catch
even'' on the year-all because he was
such a good fellow.
He has been whipped out of the cham
pionship and has spent the thousands and
thousands of dollars that he made as pugil-
ist and actor, but he is SIN the immortal
tbig fellow in the eyes of his admiring
friends, and the sound of his hoarse and
foggy voice is sweetest music to their ears.
He is still a drawing card, and he told
ono of his friends the other day that he ex-
pected to go back on the stage again.

The new wooden mill at Hartland, now
nearing completion, erected by the Linn
Wooden Company, will be one of the
best in the state. No money has been
spared in the matter and everything is
first-class in every respect. Workmen
are now busy laying floors and building
the huge tank that occupies the tower,
and is to be used to store water for the
automatic sprinklers. The shafting is
being placed in position and the eleva-
tors in running order, The mill is To-
Gated across the street from their old
plant and is the site once occupied by
the Page tannery. Another new wooden
mill is among the possibilities of the
near future. Serious thoughts have
been entertained by men of means of
putting up mill on the site of the old
tannery at the upper dam and it is
currently rumored that it may be a
reality before another year.

An Indian Taboo.

The penalty for violating, even I'M
Willingly the taboo of gems is visi-
tation of sores, livid spots, inflammation
of the eyes and even blindness. The
In-shtasunda, or thunder gems, do not
touch reptiles, toads or beetles. Some
years ago the vegetable garden of the
Omaha mission was visited by the pota-

engaged the children in the work Of ex-
termination by Offering bounty Of b
cents a quart, solid measure, for de-
funct bugs. AS the extinction of the
species became imminent, some of the
young wits adulterated their bugs by
the addition of spurious beetles. About
this time one of the little girls became
suddenly covered with sores. Her par
ents, hearing of it, came in consterna-
ton to the mission. She belonged to the
