new building, was present.
The board granted the degree of Phi D.
to Arthur Harris and D G. Hamilton and
Dean, E. S. Polster, Charles S. Robbins,
Gertrude Sellards, c. A Shfvely and Sarah
Stanton.
C.. NJ. Freeman was elected to succeed
professor of electrical engineering last
year. Miss Ester Wilson was appointed to
the teaching fellowship in German and G.
A. Shively received a similar place in the
department of pedagogy.
At the night meeting the board of re-
gents elected Wilbur c. Abbott, a member
of the faculty of Dartmouth university, to
succeed Professor E. d. Adams in the
chair of European history. Prof Adams
resigned to accept a position on the facul-
ty of Leland Stanford university: Profess
sor Abbott is a. graduate of Michigan uni
versity. He took the degree of PHI d. at
Cornell, and has been on the Dartmouth
faculty for some time. The regents dis
cussed the election of a chancellor of the
university, but up to late hour no. cleo
tion had been made.
The board was in session until after
midnight discussing the candidates for
the meeting Acting Chancellor Spangler
said that there seemed to be no change in
the attitude of the board toward the local
candidates for the place, and the impress
growing. although no member of the board
has said anything to that effect. The cham
cellorship will probably not be discussed
further at the present meeting, but Mr.
right at the question from this on, and a
man will probably be elected to the place
within thirty days. Mr.. Spanglers health
is such that he cannot well attend to the
duties longer and for this reason the board
will expedite matters as much as posi-

CAN'T ENFORCE LAW.
City Attorney Jerome in Same
Fix as Our Mr.. Spencer.

New York, March 14.-District At
torney Jerome today sent to the legis-
lature a brief on the excise question.
He gives fourteen reasons why the eX-
else bill sent to the legislature shoulo
become a law. Some of these reasons
are:
Under democratic forms of govern
ment law is not permanently force
able by elected authorities where
large number of persons in the iocalfty
do not consider the act forbidden as
immoral in itself and are unwilling 10
Weld willing obedience to the law.
I'm Greater New York there are
large number of people who do not con-
slider it immoral to enter saloon and
take a drink on Sunday
New York is a cosmopolitan city,
and its inhabitants being citizens ana
voters have a right to have their wishes
respected and their tastes and habits
considered. whether they be foreign
born or native born
"The effect of the present law is to
do irreparable damage to the COM
nunity by tending to degrade those in
the LIQUOR business and cause them to
lose their self-respect and their respect
for all law. The effect of the change
will be in an opposite direction.

above defined, always develops black

MAY sToP BUYING BONDS.
Secretary Shaw Has the Matter
Under Consideration.

Washington. March H.-Seeretary
Shaw has under consideration the ques-
ton of disseminating the purchase OF
government bonds for the sinking fund.
The secretary has not definitely decided
what he will do, nor is he willing TO
discuss the matter for publication. but
it is known that he is doing nothing to
encourage holders of bonds to dispose
of them to the government, and in fact
rather discourages sales. The present
high price of bonds is an inducement
for banks to sell those they have on
deposit with the government and re-
duce their circulation. This, the secre-
tary thinks, is to be regretted, and
few days ago announced that sucn
banks as reduced their circulation
would not be appointed public depos-
itaries. The fact that the government
is in the market stimulates the price OF
bends that the effect is just con-
trary to what is desired. 1t is quite
probable that the secretary will soon
decide whether he will continue pur
chaSeS or not.

Barb wire Phone.

Some time ago It was reported that
Paul Troutman, a 19-year-old boy who
attended the High school was placing
in a telephone line in the neighbour
hood of .hisffather's farm near Comisky
in the north part of the county.
Throughout the .neighborhood now is a
complete line run on the barb Wire
fences. The farmers each pay Paul
fifty cents a month for caring for the
phone line. The peculiar thing about
the line is that there is no central or
hello" station but one party can call
up along the line until the desired place
is reached. The farmers can connect
with Council Grove if desired, give an
order for any kind of goods and have
it delivered to the Comisky neighbour
hood by train.-Emporia Gazette

JEFFRIEs' BANK ROLL.
Big Pugilist Has 100000 Laid Away
For Rainy Day.

Chicago, March 1.-THE American
says: That boxing is a profitable game
no doubt, judging from the fat bank
accounts possessed by the big heavy
weights and some of the small fistlc
stars.
Although many of the modern cham
pions have acquired thousands of dol
lars by the use of their braWny arms,
probably none has been so fortunate
as the present champion heavyweight,
Jeffries, in putting away a fortune for
a rainy day
1t is estimated that the big boiler
maker is worth at least S1O0O00 in his
own name He has not made this big
sum in purses alone, but has added to
his prize fight winnings by lucky deals
in oil fields at his home in Los An
geles and in the stock market.
An intimate friend of the champion,
speaking about the success of JeffFteS
as a boxer, said that he had seen the
big fellows bank account for $4,000.
Unlike other great fighters that won
their money in punches, Jeffries has
showed the sense to put it away and
he announces that he is now independ-
ent.
unknown, working away on rivets in
big boiler factory for a paltry salary.
But the then plain bOilermaker was
building up a fortune in his muscles,
which afterward enabled him to cap
ture the championship as well as the
money that goes with such an honor.
James j. COrbett, although out OF
pugilism. is still earning big money rs
a monologue artist, and has a goodly
sum invested in gilt-edged securities
He enjoys all the pleasures of life that
money can secure for man.
Terry McCfoVern is another wise one,
but the little featherweight has been SO
busy making money that he really
hasn't had time to dig into his bank
account to any extent. Up to his de-
feat by Young Corbett he went along
the line of aspirant featherweights and
always came out with the big end of
the purse.
