children and also to accept such money
donations as the children may see fit
to contribute for the purpose of help
ing to erect in the name of the school
youth of America, a suitable monument
to the memory of General Lafayette
at the Paris exposition.
A committee consisting of Members
Brown, Glunz and Simons in conjunc-
ton with the superintendent was ap-
pointed to make arrangements for ap-
propriate exercises in all the schools.
The board was moved to this action by
the educati onal features of the project
and the benefits which they will I'M
doubtedly give to the school children.
Such a fitting occasion for the indul-
gence Of the school children has never
existed before, and it is not possible
that like case can again arise within
the history of our country.

Emporia, Oct. 6.-Last night as an
employee of the Santa Fe Railway COM
pany was passing the depot at the
junction he noticed a couple of colored
men following him. He waited until
one of them came up close enough for
action when he turned and made a
swipe at him A chorus of screams
greeted the assault, and the gentle
man stopped in amazement. They were
women dressed up in mems clothes.
He compelled them to come up under
the light of a switch lamp and recog-
nized them as a couple of white girls
of his acquaintance who had dressed
themselves up in mems clothes and
blackened their faces to play footpad
and have a laugh at him when he ran.
The laugh was on the other side.

WITH LANTERN SLIDES
A New Scheme for Advertising the
Methodist College at Baldwin.

Baldwin. Oct. 6.-Prof Parmenter
has devised an original and unique plan
of advertising the Methodist college.
1t is a lecture on Baker university by
means of a steropticon and views. 7 =
begins his lecture by showing a picture
of the old log ca bin where Baker was
first discussed, then the old castle and
DR.. w. R Davis. Rapid historical de-
scriptions are given. Scenes about the
town are shOwn-residences streets and
campus. Then pictures of the different
departments inside of the college are
given and explained. Each course of
study is explained as the pictures of
the members Of the faculty are thrown
on the canvas. The professor closes
with three pen sketches: What Baker
has done; what Baker is doing, and
what Baker needs. Mr.. Parmenter has
already about one hundred pictures and
is planning to make more. OF course
this is a free lecture and it surely will
be the most taking and interesting
manner that Baker can be presented to
the 10000 members of the church under
whose control the college is run

IS NURSING MULES.
Hutchinson Volunteer Thought He
Was in Hospital Corps.

Hutchinson, Oct. 6.-Clarence Hawley,
who thought he was going with hos
pital corps to Porto Rico, but found
out after leaving that he was expected
to nurse mules, is no doubt having more
experience for the amount invested
than any one who Joined the Twenty
first Kansas regiment. In one Of his
letters home he said that if he could
only at some future time get back home
with his health not ruined he would
count the experience richly worth the
torture endured.
The last that was heard from him
was to the effect that he had a hope
of starting home soon, and that he ex-
pected to go away on the first boat. If
this hope was not a false one, he is
now probably pIoughing the waves in
this direction, and may be in Hutchin-
son again in a few weeks.
