OFFER THE UNIVERSITY
Directors Tender 1t as an Orphans
Home.

The directors OF the Wichita University
met yesterday morning in the Reformed
church, on the corner Of Topeka avenue
and Lewis street, and agreed 10 give the
handsome school building to the synod for
an orphans home. The university build
ing is one Of the largest and handsomest
in the state and will make an ideal home
for children. The campus is large, and as
the building is located on one of the
highest portions of the city it will be very
healthful. It remains for the synod's ac-
ton TO settle the question, but it was the
general consensus OF opinion that the
synod would be only too willing to accept
the offer. There is absolutely no incum-
brance on either the building or grounds
which of course makes the gift alcl the
more valuable. There were several other
questions before the board of a minor ma
ture. Those OF the directory present yes
terday were: Rev. Bruce Griffith, Wichi-
ia; Rev. D. B. Shuey, Emporia; Rev. A.
6. Dechant, Forriston. Illinois; Rev. c. D.
Shaffer, Whitewater; Rev. J. r. Lewis.
Cheney; Mr.. George Neiman, Whitewater;
Rev. Faust, lola It will be several
months before the synod couvenes and the
acceptance or rejection will be known.

IN KANSAS EXHIBIT
Sedgwick County Has Ten
Days to Prepare
FOR OMAHA EXPOSITION
Will Have to be Taken Up BY
County Commissioners,

A. H. Greet, secretary Of the Kansas
| commission OF the Omaha Transmissippi
| exposition has written TO C. G. Cohn Of
the Board of Trade that the Kansas ex-
hibit Will probabl Weave Topeka for oma-
IA May %. This means that If sedgwiek
county is to be represented in the Kansas
builing at Omaha something must be done
Immediately.
The board Of county commissioners or
individuals must take up the matter at
once or the space allotted 10 the county
will be blank.
Other counties over the state have taken
the matter up considering it a valuable
advertisement Of what the country is able
to produce, and its inducements TO inves-
tors.
The following dispatch to the Eagle
from Newton is apropos:
Newton, Kan, May s.-The board Of
county commissioners held a SPECIAL meet
ing this afternoon and appropriated s2s1
to pay Harvey county's share Of the ex-
pense OF building a Kansas building az
the Trans-Mississippi exhibition at Oma-
ha next summer. The Commercial club
of this city has undertaken TO securee an
exhibit which will do credit to this county
and rival thatof any other county in the
state.
The secretary at Topeka asks for lib
eraI supply of oats, wheat, rye, millet, or
the straw samples of the grain threshed
out and good samples of corn in the ear.
This invludes the general agricultural pro-
ducts Such other miscellaneous articles
should be added as. will be a credit 10
the county 1t is the intention to arrange
for sending in samples Of new crops as
the season advances.
1t will be necessary TO have at least
$500. The legislature will in all proba-
bllity return the money at the next ses-
sion.
In some cases individual subscribers 70
the fund give the commissioners an
indemnifying bond, each man being re-
sponslble only for the amount opposite
his name. The bond being good only till
the legislature refunds the money to itch
counties.
Persons who are interested In the matter
or are willing to take hold Of it should
report to Mr. Conn or Mr.. Gordon Of the
Commercial club. 1t is expected that the
Kansas exhibit will be placed in the ex-
position by May 70.
