Two Volunteers From Kansas At
tached to the Generals Staff

Roy Medley, Topeka boy, and Wal
ter Wood of COncordia, are the first two
Kansas volunteers to arrive in Cuba

bers of Company B of the Twenty-sec-
Ond regiment. Wood enlisted at Con-
cordia and Medley joined while it was
stationed in this city. Not long ago
the two young men secured leave of
absence from Camp Alger to visit the
national capital, and while there were
taken by a personal friend of General
Miles to pay their respects to the head
of the army. Miles was favOrabIy i'm
pressed with the young volunteers. and
offered them positions on his staff
They accepted, and were at once de-
tailed from their regiment.
Medley is well known in this city
having lived here for several years.

TELEPHONE ASSESSMENT.
It Seems Likely to Be All Done over
Again.

Since the State Journal brought to light
the fact that the state board of railway
assessors had made an 50 per cent reduc-
ton on the valua ton of the telephone
plant in Topeka there has been a great
deal Of agitation at the state house
According to the members of the board
the ridiculously low valuation of the To-
peka plant was the result of misplace
confidence and they are ready to make
any change that is equitable.
me proba bility is that the whole teIe-
phone assessment will be overturned, for
assistant Attorney General Smelling saws
that 1t was not made legally. According
70 Mr.. Smelling the board of railway as
SCISSORS had no business to assess the per-
sonaI property of the plant Neither have
they any authority to assess real estate
belonging to the telephone company. That
must be done by the local assessors
II the assessment is declared off it will
pc necessary for the local assessors to as
sesS the personal property of the plant
including the telephone Instruments and
the board of railway assessors then have
the right to assess the miles of wire and
poles in use
This, will greatly change the situation.
II Will then be found that the telephone
plant IN Topeka is worth more than ST 700
NO hnal decision the question has
peen reached, but there is little doubt thar
MI Sneihngs position will result in the
BOARD commencing over, 50 far as tbs
assessment of telephones is concerned

WHAT RUSSIA WANTS.
Desires That the Philippines Shall be
Kept Intact
For Cash at Cash Prices

St. Petersburg, July Embarrassing
the events Of the war between Spain
and the United States which it regards
as practically over, the Novoe Vremya
observes that the political situation
largely depends upon the attitude of
Russia. 1t adds
With respect to the Philippine is
lands the time has arrived to clearly
state Russia's policy"
Continuing the paper adds: Russia
has no positive interests in the Philip
pine islands. If they are divided, the
best parts viii fall to Germany, Great
Britain and Japan, thereby strengthen
Ing them in the Pacific Therefore, it
is to Russia S advantage that the Phil
ippine Islands remain in the possession
of a single power whether Spain or the
United States and Russia would prefer
to see the islands in the possession Of
Spain and under the protection of the
United states, who would keep out other
claimants
BY working in this direction Russia
would not only uphold her own inter
ests, but would serve the cause of gen
eral peace"

Give the children a Drink

Called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious, appe-
tizing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
when properly prepared it tastes like
the finest coffee but is free from all it's
injurious properties. Grain-O aids di-

is not a stimulant but a health builder
and children, as we'll as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs
about Il as much as coffee. 10 and Csc.

Miss CrandelTs musical studies were
