States district court, yesterday received
notice that Judge Hook has passed upon
the somewhat difficult question in the
bankruptcy case Of c. S. Rand, mer-
chant of Potwin, who went into bank
ruptcy some time ago. having assets
amounting to about 5000 with liabilities
something more When the bankrupt
bought the stock Of goods he gave
purchase money mortgage upon the stock
of goods to Mr.. S. E. Cobb. This was
some two years prior to the bankruptcy
proceedings, and at the time of the
bankruptcy proceedings there remained
$500 due under the chattel mortgage.
Cobb contended that his claim should
be paid first. and in preference 70 the
other creditors. owing to the fact that
his chattel mortgage was more than
four months old General creditors op-
posed this.
The chattel mortgage upon stock Of
goods was valid according to the laws
Of the state Of Kansas; but invalid ac-
cording to a decision of the supreme
court Of the United States; so that the
exact question controlling IN the case was
as TO whether the decision OF the state
Of Kansas should be followed, or that
Of the supreme court of the Uniteed
States.
Inasmuch as the bankrupt law recog-
nizes all valid liens of more than four
months old, Judge Wall held that the
consideration by the supreme court of
the state OF Kansas, since 10 federal
question was involved, should be fol-
lowed by the bankrupt court; and held
the chattel mortgage to be a first lien.
An appeal was taken to Judge Hook.
who has had the matter under advise
pent for some time and who now holds

Kirke La Shelle deserves the more
credit for having given thoroughly logi-
cal and consistent story, into which he
has infused the dash and reckless spirit
of medieval days. While historically cor
rect, and CARRIED after the picturesque
fashion of. the fit zenith century, the plot
is not serious enough to mar the persis-
tent comedy of the piece. In the ensem-
bles with which the acts close, as well as
in the solo from the tower THE Princess
Chic approaches close to the danger line
Of grand opera. The deft and delightful
touches of humor with which these things
are offset are therefore the more appre-
ciated.
The mere announcement Of the forth
coming appearance Of Marguerite Sylvia
in Willard Sponsors great comedy opera
success, "Mi S s B o b
MISS BOB White" at the Metropoli-
tan for four nights and a
WHITE ETC. matinee, beginning Sun
day, March %, has been
sufficient to arouse intense interest among
local amusement lovers. The great charm
of Mr. Sponsors work is it's absolute
cleanliness, and if there is anything that
should attract it is purity on the stage.

money prodigally in equipping Miss Bob

This gives Harsh second place in this re-
spect among intercollegiate strong men.
Already Harsh has surpassed Allis' rec
ord in his first year, and in the opinion
of DR.. Cook, the gymnasium director,
Harsh will push Allis for honors before
his career in the university is finished.
Harsh is strong in all the muscles Of
his body, but has made especial improve
ment in the development of the triceps
and chest muscles and the biceps and back
muscles. His record this year is expected
to be above 1900.
Harsh is an all-round athlete. At Garlic
ton last year he was fullback on the
football team, third baseman of the base
ball team, took first place in the 220 and
44O-yard race, made record of 81 feet
in the broad jump, and secured first place
