A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS UUsvHUUUu0
The New Supreme Court.
Gov. Stanley announced the APP
pointment of the four new supreme
court judges provided for by the con-
stitutional amendment adopted at the
recent election. They are: j. C. Pol
lock, of Winfield; A. L. Green. of New
ton; A. III. Ellis, of Beloit, and E. w.
Cunningham. of Emporia. The strife
between Mcfarland and WEIGH, the
Topeka aspirants, forced the governor
to go outside of Topeka to make up
his list. The court will be separated
into two divisions, as provided by
the constitutional amendment. It is
thought that Justice Johnston win
preside over one division and Justice
Smith over the other. Judge Doster
will continue as chief justice until the
expiration of his present term and
he Will then be succeeded by Justice
Johnston, in accordance with the pro-
vision which makes the oldest judge
in point of service chief justice.
To Revive . Kansas Industry.
In q paper on the manufacture Of
table strip from sorghum. read be-
fore the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, A. A. Denton, of Medicine
Lodge, foreshadowed the large possi-
bilities of revived industry in Kan
sas. Mr.. Denton's paper was written
to stimulate attempts to make pure
sorghum strip. If it could be made
pure. he stated, it would become q
greater industry than the making OF
sugar strip in the southern states.
He said that Kansas offered a great
| chance for sorghum-sirup making,
because is was especially adapted for
sorghum growing.

| new book, discussing the servant-girl

girls are demanding better treatment
from their employers.
