State Teachers Will Talk About
Them.

The question of a uniform standard for
the comforting of honorary degrees will
probably come up for discussion at the
conference of the presidents of denomina-
tional colleges during the state teachers
association next week. At present there
is no standard, but any college gives de-
grees to anyone it chooses, regardless of
special fitness or merit. The
tional colleges of the state are Washburn
college of Topeka, Lane university of Lee
p Midland college of Atchison.
Baker university at Baldwin. Ottawa uni
versity at Otta wa, College of EImporia
at Emporia, Friends university at Wich-
tia. Paramount college at Wichita, South
west Kansas college at Winfield. Cooper
Memorial college at Mcpherson, Bethany
college at Lindsborg, Kansas Wesleyan
university at Salina-
The principals of the various county
high schools over the state will also hold
a special conference next week to discuss
matters of special interest to them. There
are now ten county high schools in Kan
sas and the number is constantly increas-
ing; Several counties voted on the county
high school question this fall. Those
which have already been established are
in Atchison county at Effingham, Clay at
Clay Center. Norton at Norton Thomas
at Colby, Scott at Scott City. Dickinson
at Chapman. Sumner at WelIington, La
pendence and Cherokee at

There is a plan on foot among the gold
shale m~illionatres of Trego county to
have a fountain on the corner OF the plaza

will be substituted. The m~illionaires have
not decided what flavor to choose.
The announcement that persons have
been admitted to the bar does not mean a
pine bench affair where sales are made
contrary to the prohibitory law, but re-
fers to the practice of law at the bar Of
justice. From appearances it is just about
as easy to be admitted to one bar as an
other. All you have to do Is rap.
Charles E. Blaney.- owner. proprietor
and author of king of the Opium Ring
has had trouble lately. The trouble was
that his show skipped L-eavenworth be-
cause the advance sale was only $3.50. The
show went to Atchison, Ok
held a claim on the Leavenworth date for
$12 for advertising and the result was an
attachment of the show at Atchison- The
trouble kept it from coming to Topeka.
No one Is very sorry.

Linton Sees the King.

London, Dec. 20.-Sir Thomas Upton,
in the long interview which he had with
King Edward, at which the Americas
cup races were infinitely discussed, I'M
folded his plans for the future. His
majesty exhibited the keenest interest
and at times offered suggestions. He
expressed the opinion that it would be
hard to get a boat to peat the Ameri-
cans, to which Sir Thomas replied that
he was at least confident ne could Sc
cure a yacht a good deal better than the
Shamrock II. When Sir Thomas had
finished explaining his reasons for this
belief, the king appeared to be satisfied
and heartily wished him success.

A COMMON
Thousands Suffer From It Without
Knowing Its Real Character.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame. are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines and
spring remedies; the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach
is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms of
stomach Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stonach so much
as in nearly every other organ: in
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others, the kidneys are
affected; in others, the bowels are trou-
bled. with loss of flesh and appetite,
with the accumulation of gas, sour ris-
ings and heartburn.

rupted by Fire.

A fire which threatened to destroy the
