in Lawrence. She did not talk on
the saloon question much but con-
tented herself with scoring the users

Senator Burton finds it about as
difficult task to apportion out the
spoils in satisfactory way as it is
to be elected senator. The only
trouble is there is so everlasting
much talent offered, and the average
Kansas office-seeker is an almighty
hard proposition to down.

NAL was made chairman of the text
book commission. Kansas does not
afford d better man for the place.
1t is now reported that Dom Paul
will lecture in America. What an
attraction he and Aguinaldo would
make, travelling together

Who is Carrie Nation? Did any
body ever hear of her in Kansas?
Where is she now? What will be
the next sensationp

While Col. Carpenter had En-
peror Mckinley hypnotized why
didn't he think to have him abdicate

1t is reported that British horse
buyers in this country have been or
dered to ship no more horses after
May Ist.
Russia says she is perfectly will
