FROM EDWARD E. HALE.
The Kansas University May Get a
$4,000 Claim Through Him.

If the next congress is kind to the
state university of Kansas, that insti-
tuition will receive 5000 in the shape
of bequest, coming practically from
the noted Edward Everett Hale.
On May d, 1856, the town of Law
renee was sacked by Sheriff Jones and
a posse of men drawn partly from Kan
sas and partly from Missouri, profess
ing to act under the authority of the
United States court. They went into
town and destroyed much property,
among other things the Free State no
tel. The Emigrant Aid company, to
which it belonged, presented a claim to
the United States government for dam
ages, and this claim was once favOra-
bly, reported by a senate committee but
for lack of sufficient influence never
went farther.
Recently the Emigrant Aid company
transferred this claim of $40, 900 to the
university of Kansas and the manage
ment of the university is making an eff
fort to have it allowed.
Edward Everett Hale writes to the
university people that he stands ready
to pledge the support of the New Eng
land congressman for the passage of
the bill paying the claim.

A Fuss Between District j Judges
at Garden City.
-
Judge Elrick Cole Wants His
Court Reports.
Other Items About the State Depart
ments That are of Interest.

Judge B. T. Milton, of Dodge City has
appealed to the secretary of state for
aid in securing from Judge EIrick Cole,
law books and court reports to the val
ue of $500 which were intended to be-
come the property of the western divi-
sion of the southern department of the
court of appeals.
When the court was created and sup
piled with the necessary documents and
law books it was supposed that the
property would remain in the court
room. Judge Cole who is a Republican
presided over the department when the
books were received but when he was
defeated for reelection and Judge Mil
ton chosen in his place, the books were
taken by Cole and made a part of his
private law library.
The result is that Judge Milton is
without the necessary documents to
conduct the business of the court and
being unable to secure any kind of sat
isfactiOn from Cole has appealed to the
secretary of state to get possession of
state property.
The executive council will hold a
meeting next week and will make a for
NAL request to Mr.. Cole to turn over
the property to Judge Milton Should
he refuse legal proceedings are likely
to follow.

ALIGHTED CIGARETTE
Was the Cause of the Fire Which Cost
the Wabash Half Million.


St. Louis, No, Oct. 2S-A lighted Gig
arctic dropped by a thoughtless clerk is
supposed to have caused the fire which
practically Quilted the white stone build
ing at the corner of Seventh and Chestnut
streets, occupied by the general offices of
the Wabash railroad
The attic was stored with old papers
and documents, and within five minutes
was a roaring furnace. During all this
excitement several young women employ
ed in the rooms on the fourth floor had
not been notified and We're still working,
unconscious of their peril. When they
did discover their situation they found
to their horror that it was impossible to
reach the stairs, as the stairway was
burning fiercely. They appeared at the
windows and a cry of horror went up
from the streets.
THE fire escape" shouted the crowd,
and the young women, compromising,
disappeared and moment later climbed
out on the iron platform of the escape.
They hesitated, but the advancing flames
gave them determination, and they start
ed their descent, reaching the street
in safety as a laundering cheer went up.
An order was given to cut the electric
wires. Dense throngs blocked every thor
oughfare. Without warning the wires
were clipped and in an instant the throngs
were madly falling back. as flashes of
blue and yellow lightning sputtered from
the ends of the deadly wires that came
falling to the ground. Nobody was in
jured but a wire struck a fire horse, kill
ing it in it's tracks.
The fire came so suddenly that the Wa
bash company was prevented from saving
anything. Every record in the office of
the chief engineer, rights of way, real es-
tate deeds and surveys of every descrip-
ton were destroyed. An officer of the
company estimates their loss at $4,000.
Real estate men place the valuation of the
building at $4,000 The Wabash COM
pany had secured new quarters before
the fire was under control
