INFLUENCE THE JAN1roRs.
Members of Legislature Request That
They Clean the Walks.

The house gave the house janitors
rap this morning over the neglect IN
cleaning the walks of snow The. reg
tlar janitor service of the capitol is so
unsatisfactory as to bring out criticism
every day. The men who are appointed
get the places for political rewards and
don't expect to work. Since the legis-
lature met and added a small army to
the force it has become worse the ex-
ec1Ifiva council seems to have no control
OF them, so when a second snowfall oc-
Cured today and not a shoveler was
sent out to clean off the walks and
steps Seaton offered a. resolution re-
ouesting the executive council to use
its influence on the janitors and cause
the snow to be cleaned away. Two days
after the first snowfall narrow paths
were cut between the drifts that covered
the big stone steps and cut to the street
on the east but in all other directions
over the state house grounds the legis-
lators had to wade. Today the griev-
ance recurs all over again.
The house promptly adopted the reso-
luton and it was sent to the governor.

4PRAIRIE Doen GAVE HAPPY
His Bill Is Finally Passed by Both
Houses.

Stephen Caves prairie dog bill has
gone to the governor for his signature.
In the senate the measure was amended
to include gophers. Tt was brought
back to the house ana the amendments
concurred IN.
The Haskell statesman accepts the
rider with good grace. Gophers inhabit
the eastern part Of the state rather than
the short grass country and he argues
that the counties viii not take enough
interest in gophers to start the ma
chinery the bill provides to exterminate
them. But the short grass country is
exceedingly wrought up over the prairie
dog business and will push the war on
the pests at once

Bill Providing For One Is introduced
This Morning.

The state fish hatchery bill was intro
duced by Senator Noftzger this morn
ing. The bill provides for an appropria-
tion of $1,000 with which to build q
hatchery and 500 for the purchase OF a
site. The bill also provides for the ap-
pointment of an assistant fish warden at
a salary of $740 Fer year, whose term
shall be two years.
This bill has the sanction Of all the
men who enjoy the sport of fishing, and
State Fish Warden Wiley also supports
it enthusiastically In support of the
bill Mr. Wiley says that all states have
appropriated more money for this pur-
pose than has Kansas, and as a result
almost every state in the union is better
stocked with fish. There are but few
streams in the state which have been
stocked with game fish, and if the bill
is passed all the streams can be stocked
and the residents of Kansas can eat
bass and eroppie without paying two
prices for them.

a VICIOUS BULL DOG
And Mule Fought Until Both Were
Fatally Injured.

Columbus. o., Feb. S.-A bulldog and a
mule belonging to Louis Crabtree, q
driver Of this city, fought a battle to the
death today. They had been raised to-
gether, and were inseparable companions,
but difference of opinion arose as to the
propriety of the mule leaving a black
smith shop to which he had been taken
The dog attacked him, trying to drive
him back to the shop. The mule fought
back and, although the spectators tried
to interfere, the danger attending such
action was SO great that they failed to
stop the fight in time. The bulldog was so
badly hurt that he has been killed, and
the mule viii die of his injuries. Neither
animal had given up when they were
finally parted.

NO TUITION Ar K o.
House Committee Reports the Bill
Unfavorably.

Representative w. J. Babb says that
the governors bill to charge tuition fees
to the students of the Kansas university
and other state institutions should be
entitled "An act to prohibit a large
number of the brightest and best boys
and girls of the state from getting the
higher education heretofore provided for
them, and thus to hinder and delay the
states progress in the arts and sciences,
mechanical invention and development
of her resources, by setting bounds to
the inventive genius of her poor but as
piring youth"
The educational committee thinks
somewhat the same way, for it has re-
ported the bill unfavorably.
