of the recently formed chapter of old
students will give a good idea. though
there are others who might be mentioned.
When the college moved from BcdNton
to Ashland Richmond men We're the
prime movers. Without their aid, 1inan-
cial and personal, it never would have
been located there. Since that time
large contributions to the college have
been made hy Richmond men in the
shape of donations and requests. and
moro are probable. The most distin-
guiSneu OF richmond S educators, was
selected as one of the first faculty at
Ashland. DR.. Thomas r. Price. now of
Columbia University, New York. An
other of the same faculty was Prof w.
~. Valentine, a good and true man.
In the days Of reconstruction, when
the first Legislature was to be elected,
the most prominent candidate for the
Senate was Col. James r. Branch. His
untimely and sad death put an end to
his mortal career in the height of his
activity and on the eve of victory. None
had better prospects for greater political
and financial success than he. Among
the candidates for the House Of Dele
gates was ]. Thompson Brown, now the
Oldest alumni of the college in Rich
lnond. He was elected, and did good ser
vice in that Very important session of
the Legislature. Both he and Colonel
Branch were alumni of the college, and
gallant officers in the Confederate army.
Much more might he written in this
line, but i close by the expression of
the hope that the Richmond Chapter of

Going much good to the cause of ed,l-
cation.

The attention Of the pubic Ia respect.
fully called to the following report of the
superintendent Of the light Departments
of this company in reference to the
WITHDRAWAL OF IT'S ELECTRIC
CURRENT FROM BUILDINGS IN
HIGHER VOLTAGE THAN THAT FUR
NISHED BY THIS COMPANY IS USED
FOR LIGHTING PURPOSES:
Major James D. Patton, President Rich
mond Passenger and Power Company:
Dear Sir-I deem it proper to bring
to the attention Of the Board Of Direc-
tors the question of the advtsability OF
this company declining to furnish cleo
trio current to buildings in which high
voltage electric current for light pur-
poses is being used.
My reasons for suggesting this action
are well known to you. and you will re-
call that for more than a year past !
have repeatedly called your attention to
the danger, both to persons and
as a fire risk, Of high voltage electric
currents for lighting purposes within
gested withdrawal will subject this COM
pany to considerable loss of revenue.
and will entail the severance Of business
relations from some who for many years
have been our patrons, but the time has
now arrived. In my opinion, for this COM
pany to decline to risk its record for safe
electrical distribution by continuing to
furnish service to buildings subject, as
I belieYe. to q very great fire risk.
Very respectfully,
(signed) e. w. TRAFFORD.
Superintendent Light Department
And also to the resolution adopted by
It's Board OF Directors:
Resolved, That the superintendent OF
the light department be instructed to
cancel all contracts with customers using
high voltage current for lighting pur-s
tracts should be cancelled SO as to cause
the least Inconvenience to customers.

That bump of flesh in human
form called John r. Tucker. who
has been drunk since the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary,
made an ass of himself Monday
evening about o'clock when he as
saulted the editor of the NEWS,
while the latter was sitting in a
chair conversing with Mayor Dan
iels, DIR. Thompson and others. The
assault was entirely unlocked for
and really amounted to nothing ex-
cept as an exhibition of what a man
will do when he loses his standing
in the community, his friends and
his business.
"A few years ago Jno. Tucker was
prosperous business man, doing
business where ]. C. Haskell now is.
But Tucker boozed. 1t seems he
could not or would not let whiskey
alone and his downfall has been
steady. Finally he failed in bust
ness. After his failure he went in
to business again, this time doing
business under the name of L. A,
Tucker.
John Tucker of today is not the
John Tucker of few years ago.
Then he was liked and respected;
now he ia despised and Stunned
public nuisance because of his
continually besotted condition.
Time was when people rather pit
tied John Tucker, but that was long
ago.
After fuckers assault on the
NEWS editor Monday evening May
or Daniels asked the latter to swear
out complaint against Tucker,
but when the NEWS editor refused
to do so, the mayor took the matter
in hand himself and sent for the
marshal, who allowed Tucker to APP
pear in police court and plead

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.

Early this month the prohibition
law in Kansas reached lite majority.
II had been on the books twenty
one years, though II cannot be said
to have been in force for that time.
At the outset the Kansas Prohibit
tionists were az rigid and rabid as
their brethren in Maine, bnt their
intolerance and their determine
ton to suppress individual beliefs
gradually led to reaction. AS de-
terrent from drinking the law was
a failure at the outset in every dis.
trict of the state where public sent
iment was in favor of personal lib
erty in the matter, and as a politi-
cal power it was proscriptive and
bigoted, but it's political influence
largely ceased after the perform
ances of Ex-Governor St. John.
In a recent interview Governor
Stanley, speaking of this matter,
said the future of prohibition in
Kansas was largely matter of in
dividual opinion. The Kansas City
Star, commenting upon the inter
view, says: "This simple and sensi.
BILE observation shows what great
way the politicians of Kansas have
come since the establishment of
prohibition in the state" and 1t
adds this severe criticisms: ut is
no violation of veracity to say that
there never was an issue in any
American community that ever
brought to the front more shabby
mediocrity and more odious Phar-
isaism than have been developed
in Kansas by prohibition"
These days have passed, however,
and Kansas, which has had to bear
80 many burdens of all sorts, will
not in the future be much OPP
pressed by prohibition. There is
not community of any size in the
state which does not exercise the
right of deciding for itself whether

guilty. His fine and costs amounted
to $1,000, and we understand Mr..
Tucker says he didn't get the worth
of his money. We presume he will
not be satisfied until something
happens.
Mr.. fuckers grievance, we under
stand, although he hasn't told US
80, was about the following, which
appeared in the NEWS April 10:
Baxter Springs has citizen who has
been drunk for long time-so long, in
fact. that he is becoming nuisance. His
drunkenness is getting tiresome. Were it
not for the fact that he has a wife whose
devotion to him is somewhat pitiful we
would print his name in this item. But
we will say right here that if he doesn't
let up we may forget some time that he
has wife and write him up. name and
all, anyway. Be it said to the credit of
men who sell liquor that this man can't
buy drop of intoxicating liquor from
them. He gets negroes and tough charac-
tiers to get it for him. But it is time for
him to quit. If he has any sense left he
will take tumble"
The article didn't say anything
about John Tucker, but he said the
shoe fit him and that he would
wear it. Mr.. Tucker made several
exhibitions of what Scott sold the
first day of April. But the shoe
did fit Mr.. Tucker very we'll. He is
nuisance and as such the city au-
thorities should see that he is
abated. A Mexican slips upon the
object of his wrath unawares and
strikes without warning; that is
just what Tucker did the other day.
Our friends need not feel alarmed.
Mr.. fuckers assault upon us didn't
do any damage.
John X. Tucker ia no doubt crazy.
He should be put in padded cell.

Yet when we are all laid to rest,
sleeping in the land we made free,
under the flag we rendered stain
less, we believe that we will still be
remembered by all true lovers of
liberty. This strewing of flowers
upon the graves of our comrades
typifies the love of our people for
the supremacy of the flag and the
integrity of the union. 1t bids all
the world take note that the people
of this proud and prosperous COM
monwealth are not unmindful of

one man, but of all men who had
