DOCTORS TAKE 1T UP.
Take PreliminarySteps to Merge
Medical College and Washburn.

Plans for the merging of the Kansas
Medical college with Washburn college
will be discussed by a joint committee
appointed from the faculty and idirec-
tors of each institution at meeting
of the two committees tonight
A meeting of the faculty and trustees
of the medical college was held at the
Office of Drs. Minney and Magee, at
Seventh and Kansas avenues, last
night, at which time a committee was
appointed to confer with the committee
appointed to represent WaShburn col
lege DIR. J. C. McClintock was made
chairman of the medical college COM
mittee and the other members are DR..
S. G. Stewart, w. f. Schoch, M X
Mitchell and J. E. Minney.
The committee of Washburn college
is composed by Prof. F. w. Ellis, chair
man; A. B. Whiting and L. H. Green
wood.
The present outlook is that a consoli-
dalton of the two institutions will most
certainly be effected. The details of the
merging and the time are matters yet
to be settled upon. The conference of
the purpose of going over the situation
and discussing the details and conces-
sions to be made by each institution.
prelin mary to the real work of merg-
ing.
In the event of an agreement to con-
solidate, officials of Washburn college
are anxious that the consolidation be
effected at once and that the work of
the next school year, beginning this
fall, be conducted under the new plans
with the medical college installed in its
new home at Washburn.
The members Of the faculty of the
medical college think that the consolida-
ton cannot be effected for this years
work. They say that the years work
is already mapped out and that it seems
impractical to make the move this year.
However, the obstacles that may arise
may be overcome and the merging be
accom- plished yet this year.
The plans for the removal of the med
ica1 college to Washburn embrace plans
for a new anatomical laboratory in a
building to itself as well as a new
building for chemistry, bacteriology ana
kindred branches. These are improve
ments which have been desired at the
present home of the medical college and
which were to have been realized within
short time.
1t is announced by the medical college
people that in the event of a conSolida-
course of study.
The medical college has adequate
equipment for its work, and this, added
to the equipment already at Washburn
college, will place the institution on
higher footing, although it has a high
reputation as a medical school now.
The trustees of the medical college
had plans prepared early this spring
for the enlargement of the college build
ing here, but owing to the proposition
to consolidate coming up. this work was
delayed until such tine as a definite
action is determined upon.

NEW LINE TO COAST.
Surveyors in the Field For Cimarr on
& Taos Valley.

Santa Fe, N. NJ. July ia large sur
veying party is in the field for the CT
marion and Taos Valley railroad, maxi
ing a survey for line from Taos to
Ojo Caliente and from the latter point
northwest into the Canon Largo, strik-
ing the mouth of the canon on the San
Juan river, thence west along the river
to Pennington and through Arizona to
California, San Diego being the objec-

A road built along the proposed sur

tions of the richest fruit and agricul-
tural land in the southwest.

BEN LANFIER, FARM HAND,
IS FOUND DEAD IN BED

Coroner Eckhart was called to
Montpelier, below Buffalo. on ~tne
Iowa side of the river early this

SIxty-one Cars to Carry Circus.
The railway equipment of the Wal
lace show is probably the best circus
outfit that ever came to town. 1t is
good in the first place and besides
is just out of the shops and has been
freshly painted and vanished. II
takes siNty-one cars to carry the
circus and if they were all in one
train it would be nearly mile in
length.
The equipment consists of sleeping
ears. diners. stock cars, fiat cars, and
box ears. The sleepers have room
for 500 persons. Four of the sleep
ers are for performers, of whom
there are 800. one private ear is for
the management, four are for the
working men, of whom there are be-
tween 400 and 500, and there are two
diners. one for the performers and
one for the workingmen.
The managers travel in a private
car, which is substantially the same
as the best railroad official ear. 1t
has kitchen, dining room, state room
and observation compartment. There
are seven that occupy this car.
The sleepers for the performers
are Pullman sleepers arranged inside
to fit the requirements of circus.
There are no seats and the berths
are permanent. This gives the adj
vantage of a better bed and saves an
endless amount of time in making
up the berths. Then there are but
little need of seats, because circus
folks travel at night only and when
they get aboard the cars they go to
bed. Each berth is large enough for
two and in the cars for the per-
formers there are two tiers. For
the star performers there are state
rooms.
