The semi-annual report just pre-
sented by Perry o. Hanson, secretary
of the Kansas university Y. M. C. A.,
shows a remarkable development in
the work of the association during
the past academic term. The MEM
bership of the organization has been
more than doubled, and now numbers
ESQ young men. The association has
organized IL Bible classes, mission
airy study class, and teachers train
ing class, the total attendance at
which is 125. The association main
tains Y. NJ. C. A. home which is al
ways open to the young men of the
university and also employs secre-
tary who devotes his time exclusively
to association work.
Can Turn Them into Cash
An opinion was rendered by the at
torney general which will enable
holders of Quantrell raid certificates
to turn them into cash. There are at
present about $4,000 worth of these
certificates outstanding. Under the
ruling county treasurers will be re-
quired to take these certificates in
payment for taxes, and they can turn
them into the state treasury as so
much cash in paying their county's
portion of the state tax. This gives
the holders an opportunity to sell
them to heavy taxpayers at small
discount, and thus get their money,
which has been tied up for the past
three years.
Would Restore Hanging In Kan.as.
Gov. Stanley, if he be reelected,
will recommend to the legislature
that the crimes act, fixing the punish
ment for murder, be amended so that
the jury shall decide that question,
and the jury having fixed the punish
ment, the governors only duty shall
be to execute it's Judgment. This
would restore in Kansas capital pun
ishment for murder, which the pres
ent law practically abolishes.
His Conscience Troubled Him.
George Walker, the Leavenworth
negro who attempted an assault on
Miss Edna Perkins near Turner, Wy
andotte county, was convicted, the
jury being out only Is minutes. Lin
coin Mckee, the officer who arrested
Walker and at the preliminary gave
damaging evidence against him, told
a different story at the formal trial.
After he left the witness stand he
committed suicide.
Good Prospects of Joining Collins.
"Cook" Wright and "Pearly" Atkin-
son, two Topeka negroes who gained |
some renown by being involved with
John Henry Collins at the time of the |
murder of his father, were bound over |
to the district court recently for |
highway robbery. There appears to |
be clear case against them and they |
will probably spend a long time with
Collins at Lansing.
Precaution Against Hydrophobia.
John T. Moore, superintendent of |
the Swift cattle ranch in jackson
county, and two other employees went
to Kansas City to secure treatment |
against the development of hydro
phobia. They had been working with
affected cattle and were afraid they |
had become innoculated.
Engine Pinned Him Down.
Milton Brenizer, while running
threshing engine over a bridge near
Manchester, went with it to the |
bottom of the stream, being pinned
under the engine for more than an
hour. His limbs were fearfully lacer-
ated, but his injuries may not be fatal
The Stock Clamored for Water.
The clamoring of the stock on the
farm of Alec Alexander a few miles
west of Mound Valley led to an in
vestigation by the neighbors, who dis
covered Alexander dead in his bed.
He had been dead several days.
Early First District Convention.
The First district republican con-
gressional convention will be held at
Atchison between March Is and 30.
This will avoid bringing politics into
the Kansas G. A. r. encampment to be
held in April at Holton.
Grant Hornadsy Withdraws
Grant Hornaday, of Fort Scott, has
withdrawn from the race for con-
gressman-at-large on the republican
