Profs. Boicourt and McDole were out
exploring Wind Cave Monday.
Miss Cramer registered Tuesday
morning for work in the music and lit
erary departments.
Revs. Wier and Chamberlain, and
Misses Ross and Wilde, were visitors
at last Saturdays Philo session.
H. E. Anderson went over to Edge
mont Monday night to see his mother
and sister who passed through there
on their way to join his father in Brit.
ish Columbia.
Our bows who we're out to Sturgis
during the tournament returned with
heads a full size larger than the hats
they were wearing. OF course this con-
dition was brought about by the way
in which Hot Springs did her work in
the races-nothing else.
Miss Brooke, and Messrs Alexander
and Snively, are boarding with Mrs.
Adams since Mrs. Basford has closed
her boarding hall. The other students
who were at Mrs. Basford's have found
places elsewhere, SO that now all are
settled for the year.
Saturday afternoon a trio of the boys
mounted their wheels and rode down
to the Falls, ostensibly to study geo.
logy. Fortune smiled upon them, and
just as they arrived there a load of
melons passed. You know the rest.
All classes were dismissed at . p. M.
Saturday, to allow the faculty and
students to accept the kind invitation
of the Federation of Women's Clubs
to attend it's meeting in the chapel.
Our collegiats are once more facing
that question so hard to answer
"What shall be the subject of my term
oration?" Only one of them, Mr.. Hall,
has so far found an answer to this,
though the time for the submission of
these efforts is almost here.
Who says that a boy cannot prepare
chocolate fit to be the drink of a Greek
deity? If that person had seen A. w.
Ladd one night recently as he went
through his formula for its preparation,
and then had tasted the result, he or
she-she, probably-would have at once
changed opinions about it.
The members of Prof. Burns class in
geology have some lively discussions
these days, and we anticipate that they
will get warmer as the class takes up
more of the disputed points in this
great science. Prof. Burns believes
that such a study should be taught by
practical field work and observation as
much as possible. especially in this
paradise of the geologist, so the class
will take a three days trip to Harvey
Peak very soon to study the exposures
and formations of that region, as we'll
as those along the route.

though he knew he would lose which
ever way it came.-Chicago Post.

Kansas City Kitten That Fooled with
Fly Paper.
A small, gray kitten in Kansas City
walked back and forth in q store wins
dow the other day; conscious of her
graceful appearance she lifted her feed
daintily and curled her tail up over her
Back, I9Nd&ealy noise in the storS
startled her, and she lowered her head
and dropped her tail, as she turned
stealthily to investigate. This was a
mistake. For the tail came in contact
with piece of sticky fly paper, and all
the efforts she made to remove 1t but
increased her discontinue and humili-
alton. She shook her 1.-THE body, and the
tail was wagged vigorously, but the
paper held her faster and tighter than
1t ever held fly. She put her forepaw
down; it stuck. Her little hind paw
came to the rescue, and was held where
it fell. Frantic and mewing piteously,
she rolled over and over, till enwrapped
in drapery Of fiypaper, she tumbled
off the window platform and was gone.
No one knew where or how, with but
two feet free and those on corners dag
onally opposite, she had managed to
get out of sight and hearing. But she
did it, and the fypaper went with her,

A New Invention.

AIr. s. s. Howard, Of Dana, Kans.,
has received letters patent No. $685.
$40, for weather strip that is pre-
nounced perfect by those to whom
it has been shown. The ordinary
weather strip is either a wad of old
carpet LAID down on the floor against
the door, on light piece of wood to
the edge of which Is attached a thin
strip Of rubber. The first is incon-
venient, the latter worthless, after a
little use Mr.. Howard's invention Is
perfect piece OF machinery, practi-
cally indestruchble. In the words of
the specifications, The invention re.
lates to means for securing a close
joint between the lower edge of a
door and its threshold for excluding
wet, dust, and wind and which will
not present crevicts and spaces for
the accumulation of dirt, and which
is readily accessible for repairs, clean
ing and other required purposes. The
invention carries a storm plate hing.
ed to the door sill, shedding plate
attached to the lower portion Of the
door and an intermediate means for
tllting the storm plate and throwing
its free edge beneath the lower edge
of the shedding plate upon closing
the door," Mr.. Howard has made ap.
plication for q patent from the Can
adian authorities He left yesterday
for Des Moines, Ia, where he will
have a stock made MP, and placed
on the market. The prospects are
that Mr.. Howard has q good sized
fortune within his reach,

The Queen,a Meisronier.

In the Contemporary Review Mrs.
Emily Crawford, writing her reminis-
cences of Queen Victoria, thus describes
the purchase of one of the cleverest lit
tie canvases Meissonier ever painted.
The occasion of the buying of the pic
ture was visit to the Palais de rIn-
dustrie in Paris. prince Albert sim
gled out as worthy of admiration hor-
rid little painting that had every quail
ity manipulation could give-Le Rixie,'
or The Brawl.' Rufians were shown
engaged in deadly tussle. The tech
nique was marvellous. MISSIONER up to
that time a struggling artist, was the
painter. The emperor bought the
painting behind the queens back for
6 1000, and presented it next day to
her husband as birthday gift The
subject was inauspicious. 1t would
have startled an old Roman in the
princes place." Certainly Prince Al
bert had good taste, and SO had Louis
Napoleon, as far as Meissonier is con-
cerned.

A Free Education.

The Thirty.fourth Annual Catalog-
ue Of the Kansas State Agricultural
College shows many things Of inter
est to all friends of education. The
handsome illustrations show tho pro-
minent features Of grounds and build
lngs, aud the letter press gives in
formation concerning the thoroughly
practical course of study, the indust-
rial training, expenses, and the fscil-
tiles winch have helped to place this
institution at the head of It's class in
the world.
During the year just closed there
there were enrolled 734 students, of
whom 490 were gentlemen and 244,
Isdlee. These students represented
76 counties Of Kansas and Is other
states. The graduating class num-
hers SO gentlemen and 81 ladies.
during the 54 years or lts exist
ence, the College has received more
than 5000 students, about a third Of
whom were young women. About
seventy.five per cent. of these have
come from farmers homes, and after
from three months to three years of
study, have gone back to such homes
without graduation. The number Of
graduates up to 1897 is 536, Of whom
1872 are women.
The fall term begins on September
8, next, with examinations for admls-
sion. Copies of the catalogue and
other points Of information may be

CANNON BALL STORY.
Alfred GrissOm Tells OF a Narrow Es-
cnpe in Alabama,

Alfred GrissOm Tells OF a Marrow EBs
cape In Alabama.
Alfred Grissom, the manager of the
summer excursion boats, has cannon
ball story which he says is Gospel truth.
People in the excursion business have
a strict regard for veracity, and many
of his friends believe every word of it,
says the st. Louis Republic.
Several years ago, the story runs.
Mr.. Grissom was in st. James parish,
La. He had occasion to visit sawmill
where the big cottonwood logs were be-
ing cut into lumber. His attention was
attracted to q particularly large log,
when suddenly there was loud crash,
like that Of the teeth striking nail.
Windows were broken, men shouted
and the machinery was stopped. Mr..
Grissom was not hurt as he had Inn
agined. Something had happened and
he stopped to see the cause. The big
log was removed from the rack and
split open. A large cannon ball was
imbedded In the center. The saw had
struck it and broke into myriad of
pieces which flew in all directions. Five
pieces passed through his hat, one
struck his watch and glanced off, ans
other hit silver dollar In his vest
pocket and left scratch along its sur-
face. Luckily, none of the flying par-
ticles struck his body or did other in-
jury than break few panes of glass in
the office compartment.

Blue AseEsTos.
Canada and italy Have n Serious
Competitor ln Africa.

Canada and italy Have \ Serious
Competitor ln Africa.
Canadian and italian asbestos will
find serious competitor in the blue as
bestos recently discovered In the Cape
Colony, since the South African product
Is less Tran half as heavy and furnished
9bers considerably finer and Longer
than any other, says the Detroit Tril
bune. The South African fiber has been
worked into webs, which are but little
inferior to those made of vegetable
fiber, and are absolutely fireproof,
Twinep cord and rope made Of this blue
asbestos will not only resist fire, but
also most of the known chemicals, corr
rosive vapors and atmospheric infiu-
ences. These qualities will open a
new field for the employment Of asbes4
tos fabrics in chemical laboratories, and
for the caullling of chemical apparatus.
A novel application of this material
is the working of blue asbestos fiber
into mattresses for hospitals. They
are cooler in summer and warmer in
winter than those made either Of ami
NAL hair or vegetable fiber, and no YER
min can live in this mattress. Experi-
ments are now being made of working
this fiber into cloth for firemen's APP
parel. OF course the long fiber blue as
bestos can also be employed for all the
uses to which white asbestos has been
put heretofore. While trife more ex-.
pensive, its superior qualities make it
well worth the difference.

About the County.

From the Kirwln Independent.
Men and women who were born IN
other states Of the union, and have
lived in Kansas the last twenty years,
are full OF mischief. The same was
proven by those who took part in
the surprise party on the tiity-fourth
birthday OF the senior editor, which
occurred yesterday, August II. The
witnesses we're: Mr.. and Mrs. j. ID.
Atchison, Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Van
Allen, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Stage, Mr..
and Mrs. John Strain, Mr.. and Mrs.
O. Engstrum, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Bech-
tel, Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. HackIey, Mr..
and Mrs. p. Christensen, Mrs. s. o.
Bales and Mrs q. j. VanAllen. All
Of the above-named are over fifty
years old, with but one exception,
but their action on a surprise oc.
casion would indicate that they had
hardly attained their majority. Your
kindness will be remembered as long
as life shall last, and we hope to pay
back all the interest and part Of the
principal.
From the Long Island Leader.
Mr.. N. Polling Of Phillipsburg, has
sold his fine farm on the Island %
miles below this place to Mr.. Keppel.
The Baptist people have begun the
foundation Of their new church edi-
fee. The building will be 32146 feet

Prof. O. E. Lowe, principal; Miss
Ellen Nash, intermediate; and Mrs.
Ada Barrett, primary. Let all be in
readiness to begin on the first day.
The reunion committee on grounds
went down to Camp Brooks and lay
the grounds off in good shape Thurs
day. The assigned every stand and

Dr.. Bonnie received telegram
Wednesday noon to hasten to the
residence OF +. ID. Kemble near A.
mens, who had met with an accident.
It seems that he was assisting in
hosting a large pole to position pre-
paratory to stacking some hay, and
by some accident the pole fell across
one of his legs breaking it above the
knee. The doctor left him quite
comfortable.
We are sorry to know that Charlie
Wilcox has decided to 20 to North

We have said that the Mexlcans be-
lieve that the recent si.v r decline in
London and New York, and per Sc,
the rise in the premium on gold, will
Immensely stimulate their home man
ufacturing. Now again we ask, why :?
The simple reason is that the cost of
every thing bought abroad has teen
enhanced. A few short weeks ago
the Mexican silver dollar was worth
48 cents in gold. Then it cost the
Mexican importer $2O8 SO to pay for
a bill of $500 of goods bought IN New
York. Today the Mexican dollar is
worth but As cents in gold, and a
draft to settle a bill for 500 Of goods
in New York costs the Mexican i'm
porter 1922 %, What the result of
such changed conditions must be is
obvious. The Mexican importer must
raise the prices asked for imported
goods, and this must offer an oppor-
tunity to the Mexican manufacturer
The price at which he must sell 10
meet foreign competition is raised,
cohst quentIy he finds it easier to
compete, he finds q reader and more
profitable market, he prospers and
manufacturing Is stimulated. The
