IMPROVE THE RoTUNDA-
Some Needed Changes in the State
House.

The cruiser Topeka. which has been
standing in the rotunda on the second
floor of the state house, has been re
moved to the corridor in which the
Dunsmore house held it's sessions dur
ing the legislative war of 1898. This is
in the south wing of the capitol
The executive council is considering
the a3dvisabil of having put in where
the Topeka has been, the balustrade
which appears on the floor above. This
would light the lower floor and make
the corridor look half way respectable.
Left as it is the corridor resembles an
old lumber yard. It needs improving.

FROM MISSOURI.
A Man Who Imagines Kansas Needs
Instruction.

What promises to become another in
terstate complication has been brought
to the attention of the attorney general
by a man in Knob Noster, No, who
takes issue with the governor ana
raises the point that Mr.. Stanley has
no legal right to offer a reward for the
conviction of jointists.
This practice writes the Missourian
s'tends to defeat the ends Of justice and
simply means the purchase of testI-
mOny against jointists and saloon men,
It would seem to me that this is an
other one of the peculiarities Of Kan
sas and one that should be suppressed "
Judge ]. S. West answering the letter
suggested that there is no law being
violated in this proceeding and holds
that the action of the governor, despite
the protest of the Missourian is correct
in this narticular.

500, 600 barrels. This was considerably
larger than produced during the pre-
ceding year, the nearest approach 10
these figures being in 1892. The value
of the salt this past year has been
unprecedentedly low, the average price
being p cents per barrel, making the
total output at nearly half a million
dollars. To gain a correct idea or TINS
Industry it is necessary to add the COOP
erage, at Is cents per barrel, which then
makes the salt industry for the year
represent the sum total of nearly mil
lion dollars. In this it appears that the
value of the salt exceeded by only
cents the value of the barrel.
The gypsum and gypsum cement in
dustry were not as extensive in 1898 as
in previous years, neither was the val
ne per ton so great. The value of the
product for 1898 was 81, S1O,059. Profess
EOr HawOrth says:
1T is an admitted fact that the gyp-
sum earth deposits in the state are be-
coming somewhat scarce and unless
new discoveries are made it will be but
a short time until the supply is exhaust
ed. The rock gypsum beds are, as yet,
almost untouched and can furnish
enough material to supply America
with plaster for hundreds of years"
The hydraulic cement industry is still
confined to Fort Scott, where the two
factories produced during 1893 100000
barrels worth SO cents per barrel.
The past year has been unusually
prosperous for the manufacturers of the
various kinds of clay products, partic-
uIariY Tor the DrlCk TacIOrleS- Inc LOIal
output reached an aggregate value of
$500, 900, which is largely in excess of
any other year. The greatest increase
was in vitrihed brick the second in
crease being in the manufacture of
building brick. with the increased
demand for the various kinds of build
ing brick" says Mr.. Haworth, I'VE
confidently expect that in a short time
this industry will reach a magnitude
very gratifying to our citizens"
With reference to gold and silver pro-
duction in the state, Prof. HaWOrth
says: I'VE have no mines in this state

tirely erroneous or so nearly so that nc
further attention need be given the sub

early part of 1899 there was a revival

an this connection being Ellis and TregC
