The Kansas commission of the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo has de-
cided to give five hundred dollars to the

for the specifications and estimates Of

the Pan-American exposition want de-
signs for the proposed Kansas building
at the exposition at Buffalo, be it
Resolved, That the architects of the
state be and are hereby invited to sub

Exposition to cost not less than $12. 900
nor more than $4,000, and that upon
application to the secretary of this COM
mission, he will furnish any such archi-
tectS with such suggestions as to the
space and requirements as he may be
able to offer, and that upon the adop-
ton or acceptance for use of a set of
preliminary plans by any connecting
architect this commission will pay for
such plans the sum of $500 which shall
include complete working plans and
specifications, and be it

BY request, State Architect Stanton
yesterday submitted a plan for a Kan
saS building but it was thought that it
would be advisable to allow the archi-
tects of the state to come into competi-
ton in making plans for the building
before adopting Mr.. Stanton's plans,
and In that way it is thought some orig
inal ideas may be worked out.
John Compton w. Ii. Bryning, s +.
StOll and Ed Howe, four prominent men
of the Atchison Corn Carnival associa-
ton, have volunteered their services in
making an exhibit OF Kansas corn in
the Kansas building.
The Kansas building will have a loca-
ton which Is only second to best OF the
locations for state buildings. The state
of Ohio has reserved the space just
across the walk to the north of the
Kansas building. However, the Kansas
building commands a good view of the
court running the length of the ground
in the center of the park.
The next legislature will be asked to
appropriate $50, geo 10 carry out the work
OF erecting a building and properly dec
Grating it. Governor Stanley was pres
ent and gave assurance that the move
ment had his approval and support.

Mrs. A. H Thompson of the board
OF women managers suggested that thu
corn dolls which have won such a rep
utation at the corn carnivals at Atchi-
son be distributed as souvenirs at the
Kansas building. 1t could be arranged
to make them in the building and they
would be either sold for nominal sum
or given away.
