More Land for Asy1ums.

''The state should buy additional
land for all of it's state institutions
while property is comparatively
cheap" said Henry J. Allen, chair
man of the state board of charities
1T has been a great mistake to de-
lay the matter this long. Two OF
the nine institutions, the Olathe and
Kansas City institutions, are really
schools, and need no farms, but the
seven others do. At present the
seven institutions, with a combined
population of 1854, only have 1909
acres of land

break the will. They alleged that
their father was insane when he
wrote the will and that he was I'M

did. The trial of the case began on

jury returned a verdict setting the
will aside.

Meets with Approval.

The movement to take the higher
educational institutions of the state
out of politics by having fixed sums
set aside by constitutional enactment
meets the approval of the politicians
generally. These institutions now dee
pend upon biennial appropriations
from the legislature, and this always
requires great deal of wire pulling,
scheming, lobbying and political con-
niving around the legislature The
plan proposed is for the legislature
to submit a constitutional amend
ment to the people two years hence
fixing certain tax levy for the sup
port of the state educational institu-
tions. This will remove the institu-
tions from politics and will enable
the schools to become more efficient.

BRYAN'S way OUT.
Urges President to Call an Ex-
ira Session Of Congress.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 7.-William J. Bryan
urges President Roosevelt to call an extra
session of congress to deal with the coal
miners strike, and suggests five measures
which he should recommend for passage.
They are:
First-A law establishing a national
board of arbitration consisting of three or
five members, to consider and report on all
controversies between corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce and their
employees. The law should compel the
board to act whenever either party to the
controversy demanded it.
Second-A law abolishing government by
injunction.
Third-A law that will discriminate be-
tween the natural man created by the AL
mighty and the corporate giant created by
legislation.
Fourth-A law taking the tariff off of
coal. It has been generally supposed that
anthracite coal was on the free list, but
most of the anthracite which comes into
competition with our anthracite is of so
low a grade that it is taxed under our
tariff laws
Fifth-A law which will prevent rail-
roads engaged in interstate commerce
from operating coal mines, except for the
purpose of supplying fuel for their own
engines. p
Mr. Bryan says that the president I'M
derstands that his political future depends
largely upon the stand he takes in this
great contest between greed and human
rights, but if he is a brave man he will
take the peoples side and risk the hos
tility of organized wealth. He conmends
the president for taking the initiative in
the White House conference, and says he
cannot stop now. If the present laws are
not sufficient he declares he must call
congress together and enact new laws.

EMPORIA PICKPOCKETS.
Relieve an Oil Agent of $500 and
Two Tickets to California.

Emporia, Oct. THE Gazette says:
Mr.. L. Abrams, an agent for a Cali
fornia oil company, came to the police
last night with a story that pickpockets
at the Santa Fe depot had relieved him
OF pocketbOOk containing $500 in
money and two railroad tickets to Cali
fornia. Abrams and his partner have
been in Emporia for some time doing
an extensive business in selling Cali
fornia oil stocks. Yesterday Abrams
returned from Manhattan where on
Saturday he had taken in considerable
money from the sale of oil shares and
was about to go west last night He
got on the train and when it had gone
as far as West street he discovered that
his pocketbook, which he carried in his
inside coat pocket, was missing
There was nothing for him to do but to
get off, as the pocketbook contained his
railroad tickets. The train stopped and
he returned to the depot dead broke.
Mr.. Abrams remembers that Just be-
fore he got. on the train two rather
rough looking men in the crowd jostled
him, and it is now evident to Mr.
Abrams that one of them touched
him.

RICKETY VENICE.
Other Catastrophles Like That at st.
Marks Are Imminent.

New York Oct 7.-Discussing Signor
Bonfs work IN connection with the recon-
struction of monuments in Venice, a dis
patch to the Times from that city by way
of London, says the Church of St Mark
the Doges Palace, the Procuratie Vecchie
the Zecca and the churches of Santa
Maria Gloriosa, Die Frari and st. Giovan-
maize Paolo need prompt attention If catas-
trophies are to be averted.
In ST. Marks there is a crack on the
great arch of Apocalypse and the arch
says downward almost a foot. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be necessary to remove
all the mosaics of the arch and that the
brick wall behind them win have to be
more solidly constructed
In the Doges Palace diagonal LESSONS are
visible and it looks as though the brick
work were tumbling outward.
In the Preocuratie Vecchfe there are
serious cracks caused probably by the
wholesale demolition of internal walls and
the stacking of heavy goods in the rooms
above the collonade.
Regarding the general subsistence of
Venetian SOIL Signor Boni believes that
the land has sunk at the rate of about
three and one-half inches a century. The
zecca is in a rickety condition from top
to bottom.
