NEVER EQUALLED.
No Per Capita Wheat Yield was Ever
Equal to This.

From the returns of the state board of
, agriculture it appears that the winter
wheat raised this year in a block of six
adjoining counties, namely: Barton, Ellis
Ellsworth, Pawnee, Rush and Russell; at
60 cents per bushel, would be equal to a
per capita of S1S9.90 for every child wo-
man and man in the counties which by the
way, with the exception of a part of
Ellsworth are in the western half of the
state. The aggregate sum it would yield
is s6. 1874 9S7- The sum for each individual
in the different counties would be as fol-
lows: Pawnee, $19959; Rush. S199.15; Ellis.
S144.43; Barton, 1879; Ellsworth s1OS. IS:
Russell, S10516. Sumner, with its 4,5S5. .O60
bushels, probably has more winter wheat
than was ever produced in one year by
any like territory in the world The
amount that it would bring to each one
of the countys inhabitants, big and little,
at so cents bushel would be $121.27.

Entire Militia Forces of Kansas Will
be at the Fall Festival.

Major General McCrum of the Kan
sas National Guard came to Topeka
yesterday to make the final arrange
ments for holding the encampment of
the Guard in Topeka during the Fall
Festival. He said to a Journal report
er:
This encampment will be big event

% companies of infantry, two regi-
mental bands and two batteries of light
artillery.
There will be drills every day and

a year past has been working on plans
for an airship, on a recent day an
nounced that he had them completed.
They were exhibited in connection

Charles ship is much like that of Pro-
fessor Langley, but it improves on it
in some radical features. The prope1-

System Which VIII Increase Speed and

to Washington to file patent applica-
tions and interest proper government
officials in inventions by Frank NJ. Reed
of Anderson, Ind, which have been
completed, tested practically and found
to be capable CT revolutionizing the
handling of war vessels at sea.
The inventions carry out to perfec-
tion the idea originated by Russia in
using oil instead of coal for fuel for
war vessels. Reeds invention covers a
system of oil burning which would
make it possible for vessel like the
Indiana to carry enough fuel to last on
a trip around the world. The system
is gas generation from oil The gas is
generated by an atomizing plan, is
smokeless and capable of a tenth more
heat than the Russians get. or 33 per
cent more heat than the government is
now getting from coal
Instead OF 80 stokers, which are now
necessary on a great war vessel, one
man could handle all of the valves.
Another one Of the inventions covers
q storage tank that is absolutely bullet
and shell proof. The cost of the equip
ment is very small and would be paid
for in month or SO in the saving of

Kansas City, a member of the board,
examined Kansas City dental colleges
the other day. The result was a con-
ference with Prosec utor Lowe, who will
institute proceedings in few weeks to
have the charters of two of the institu-
tions revoked. Criminal proceedings
may also be instituted against the Off
cials of these colleges. The colleges in
question have been selling diplomas,
DR.. Rubey says, for what they would
bring, and in many instances have sold
them to persons outside the city who
have never been inside the colleges.
"They have been grinding out di-

SPEAKS FOR BROWN.
Congressman Walker Defends the
University's Course Toward
Andrews

Boston, Aug. 7.-Congress man Joseph
H. Walker of Worcester has given the
Associated. Press an open letter which
has a bearing on the controversy be-
tween the faculty of Brown university
and the corporation of the institution,
of which Mr.. Walker is a member, over
the resignation of President Andrews.
He calls it a reply to certain members
of the faculty of Brown university by
one of the corpOrators, and says:
THE corporation deeply regrets that
any member of the faculty should have
felt it his duty to cOmplicate a very
delicate situation growing out of the
wide divergence of views between it
and the public teachings of its presi-
dent as to what is truth and to their
respective duties and responsibilities
involving the attitude of the university
on questions viewed by the corporation
as at the very foundation of morality.
The corporation of Brown university as
in the past, so now administers its af-
fairs in the broad spirit of liberality
in which it was founded, as to both the
belief and teachings of its president and
professors, but il cannot tolerate the
aliena tiOn of the great trust committed
would subvert doctrines and beliefs its
founders, the present corporation and
all right thinking men in the commun-
ity as well, hold 10 be truth
The opinion of our corporation was
not unknown to President Andrews.
Either the corporation has or it has
not some degree OF responsibility for
its representatives in it's president and
professors in the institution.
That it is in no wise responsible for
their sayings and doinCs will not be
asserted, and if it has any response
biIity whatever the question arises.
could its action have been any more
conservative? Certainly Mr.. E. Benja-
min Andrews has an undoubted right
to speak his mind without offense to
or criticism by our corporation But
this right inalienable in Mr.. Andrews,
does not dissolve the oath taken by the
fellows and trustees, nor justify nor
excuse the corpora ton from taking
cogniZance of what the mind and speech
of the president of Brown university is
as to its effect upon the university, its
friends or the public.
The only safe source of income to a
university is mainly from its invested
funds. Brown cannot long prosper or
even exist as President Andrews has
carried it, himself being judge"

How a Young Man Had to Give His
Note for $40.

Kansas.
There is nothing unusual in the above
note but the circumstances under which
it was given came near causing
the Union Stock yards in North To-
peka. 1t was abOnt o'clock and the
customary sale of cattle was going on
when a young man, stranger, was
seen to climb over the fence and criti-
cally look over the cattle. He was
dressed in long prince albert coat,
pointed shoes, creased pants and every
one thought that he must surely be
some prospective buyer, an eastern
capitalist perhaps.
Il have a bid of s24 on these cattle"
said Auctioneer Geo: Hungate. will
stranger, and he kept on bidding away
like Marks the lawyer, until he had run
the price up to $50
The stranger stepped into the office
and rendered Mr.. Dairy. proprietor of
the stock yards, $50 in payment for the
cattle.
Didn't you buy the whole herd?'
said Mr.. Dairy. There were Is cattle
in the herd
"Of course I bought the whole herd.
Doesn't that pay for them? 1 only bid
$780,
You don't expect to get that herd of
cattle for $50 do you? Well, I guess not
You bid $50 apiece for them, and your
bill amounts to $3.50"
''$450; why I can't pay you that much
for them. You said you had bid of
$24 on these cattle I thought at the
time that 1 was getting a good bargain
in buying the cattle at two dollars
apiece. I wondered why those people
stood around and let them go so cheap;
but I see my mistake now"
The deal was finally settled by the
stranger giving Mr.. Dairy his note for
$40 to let him out of the transaction.

today working ten hours, making full
time, or go hours this week. This is
the first time in four years that the
employees of any department of the
shops in this city have worked full
