ade by Peirne The same selection is
being played by Kubelik on his Ameri-
can tour. The playing of the piece re-
quires a mute upon the bridge of the
instrument and the tones as produced
by Mr.. Wood We're soft and sweet and
clear as could be imagined and although
the Auditorium was entirely too noisy
for so soft number it was well re-
ceiyed and the player was recalled for
his third number
The xyiophone duet by Price and
Cowdry was novelty. They hammer
ed away at the locust wood blocks with
a zealousness that brought forth all
kinds of melody. The band played fast
er and faster and the xylophone artists
ratified away on the wooden ribs Of their
instruments as fast as they would and
kept up to the finish. OF course they
were recalled
The ladies' quartette, Mrs. F. S.
Thomas, Mrs. w. G. Dickie, Mrs. F. H
Foster and Mrs l. S. Ferry, sang
"Estudeantina,' and were recalled for
an encore.
AS usual the audience was late in
arriving and delayed the opening OF the
concert. Then the listeners demanded
so many encores that the programme
of a dozen numbers was doubled.
After doing that the audience became
restless and began leaving the building,
much TO the annoyance of those who
remained and the musicians, when
there We're several numbers yet to be
played The janitor of the building
should have his boots creased or else
remain seated during concerts.

lively free of joints, and its principal
trouble along the line of liquor law vio-

to catch them also the city council of
Emporia proposes to pass an ordinance

which shall convict violators- of the
prohibitory law, and ]. H. Firth, city
attorney of Emporia, has written the
attorney generals department, asking
if such an ordinance would be eonsti-

Assistant Attorney General West
replied that in his judgment such an
ordinance would be valid if the city
of Emporia wished to try it.
This same plan has been worked sue

Mrs. Annie L. Diggs will turn over
the state library to her successor as
state librarian, James L. King, next
from DR.. H.sw. Roby the rights for the
state of Missouri for a patent clothes
line reel, which DIR. Roby has invented,
and she will look after that business
after she goes out of Office. Until her
row with H. N. Gaines over the editorial
policy of the Farmers Advocate she had
expected to become editor of that pub
Hcation after she left the state library,
but the divergence of opinions of her
self and Mr.. Gaines changed her plans.
Mrs. Diggs is the first woman who ever
held the position of state librarian in
Kansas, but her administration of the
office has been satisfactory to the peo-
pie who have business with the library.
Governor Stanley has appointed F. 8
Preston, of LaCygne, to be sheriff of

upholds the biennial election law in its
application to sheriffs.

Why shouldn't MarshalFs make a ten
weeks tour of Canada No reason at
all If it did the much-heralded band
of the Forty-eight Highlanders would
have to hang up its horns. With just
a little practice and the incentive to
such a tour Director Marshall could oil
up his soft pedal, use il freely, and
make as successful tour as any band.
Director Marshall was gracious last
night He handed out just as many en-
cores as the audiences demanded The
band handled F1otow's overture -.Stra-

the catchy Gold Beetles Soiree" by
King in a style which brought a
hearty encore. Probably the most pre-

Beethoven's "F'fdelio." II was played in

ton "Autumnal Whisperings." was

The sentiment for single statehood
is so overwhelming that if the people
can but understand that the Indian
territory is now ready for statehood
and that no delay because of single
statehood IS necessary. there would
be almost a unanimous vote in it's
favor The studied effort now being
made by The Republican speakers is
to convince the people that the In
dian territory is not ready for state
hood and This has been the position OF
our delegate in congress and the po-
sitioE of The excessive land holders
and some Of The large cattle men OF
the Indian territory for 20 many
years and it has been SO constantly
iterated and reiterated to The Ameri-
can congress that they don't realize
the true situation il is even true
that the people of Oklahoma, living
just on the border don appreciate
the fact that that territory is today
ready for statehood
From the legal standpoint it is not
an open question The supreme
court Of the United States has already
decided in the case OF Thomas against
Gay. le9 U S. 264. that congress has
the right to attach ali, or any part
OF the Indian territory TO Oklahoma.
ANY one interested in the legal prop
osition may pursue the inquiry by ex.
amining that case. There being no
legal obstacle in the way. question
Immediately arises as to what are the
conditions which would govern con.
gress in granting statehood In tn
first place there should be territory
capable of supporting and sustaining
population. This condition exists
as is known to everybody. the Indian
territory bsiug rich in agricultural
and mining and timber resources.
In The next place. there should be a
people capable Of self government.
The people Of the Indian territory
are of course, capable Of self govern.

of whom about $4,000 American

They have been raised under Ameri.
