Some Wonderful Alfalfa That Was

It is next to impossible to cXaggerate the

takes notion. After looking at the
samples person will make up his mind
to believe any alfalfa story he may hear
MIR. Miller has three punches of different
lengths The lowest is only feet and
eight inches hight and he shows that first
that his callers may prepare for the
surprise gradually. The next bunch is
6 feet high and the average man has to
look up Ioeit. The high stalks not
stretched up to the greatest possible
length because the stems grow crooked
and if bound together and straightened,
they would be a few inches taller. The
high bunch is feet and inches higher

samples from punches grown in
low places where the ground is rich and
they suggest that by fertilZing the fields
an extra crop of hay coald be raised.
This may sound like snake story or a
fish story to some, but even a snake story
or fish story is all right when you have
the snake or fish to back up the story

PRESIDENTS MEET.

Washington. March 25.-Tomas Es-
trada Palma, president-elect of Cuba,
met President Roosevelt in his official
capacity for the first time last night
when the former was the guest of
honor at an informal dinner at the
White House. The affair was intended
as a mark of courtesy to President
elect Palma, who expressed his high APP

others present were Mrs. Roosevelt,
Secretary and Mrs. Root, Minister and
Mrs. Bellamy Storer, General Leonard
Wood and Gonzales De Quesada and

came over from New York with Cen
eral Palma. While the affair was large
ly of a social character, the prospective
transfer of Cuba from the Americans
to the new government provided for
by the recent constitutional convention,
was discussed.
The actual date of transfer of the
government, it is said has not been
definitely decided on. The date has
been tentatively fixed as May 1, and
the officials of this government have
believed it could be accomplished by
that time. More recently, however 1t
has become apparent that for various
reasons there may have to be a post
ponement of the transfer to a date
later in the month, say the 10th or the
goth, more likely the latter day. 1t was
expected this matter would be finally
determined at the gathering. but it is
said the question still remains unset
tied, except that the transfer is GER
tain to take place in May.
Mr.. Palma and his companions will
remain here for some days, their stay
depending entirely upon the wishes of
the president, who will consult the
Cuban president-elect further before he
leaves for his new duties. Mr.. Palma
will go from here to New York and
thence about the middle of April to

A LUCKY FISHERMAN.
Change in Channel of Missouri Gave
Him 100000 Property.

Kansas City. Kas., March 25-The
Armour Packing company and the Chi
cago Great Western railway company
will probably be deprived of the pos
session of forty acres of accretion land
lying to the south of the Missouri river,
by a verdict returned in the district
court last night The land is valued at
100000, and the greater part of it has
pany, which caused S. K. Howe, an old
original owner, to be elected in 1895.
Many years ago, Howe, a poor fish
erman, located on an island in the Mis-
souri, river, just opposite the Armour
packing plant. In 1894 the Missouri
river changed it's course, and the land,
which was originally an island, became
a part of the mainland. AS an island.
the property was practically worthless,
but when it became part of the MAIN
land it adjoined the land OF the Ar
mour Packing company and its value
was great. The accretions became
greater, and the trestle, over which the
Chicago Great Western enters Kansas
City, was built on a part of the new
land.
In 1895 the Armour Packing company
brought proceedings to eject Howe,
who insisted that the property was his
by settlers right. The Armour com
pany claimed possession because its
land adjoined the new made ground.
The case was brought originally in a
justice court. taken to the city court
and finally to the district court, where
Howe was given a decision.

lost Second Baseman Krug, the clever
little inf1elder who performed last sea-

Before departing for Atlanta, Ga, Krug

OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS
Frank Nelson Gives Out Facts About
Kansas Educational Interests.

State Supt Nelson gives out the fol-
lowing concerning different educational
interests in Kansas:
Examination for state certificates
will be held at the accredited colleges
in May. The questions are prepared by
the state board of education.
Some time ago the Baptists secured
control of the independent normal at
Holton, and now it is announced that
Catholic organization has bought the
Central Normal at Great Bend. This
leaves the Salina Normal university as
the only Independent normal in the
state.
The course of study for county nor
NAL Institutes will be changed in or

grammar, geography, and didactics.
Since very nearly all the teachers of
the state attend these Institutes, the
state board of education desires to have
the course of study modern and up to
date. There will be four series of in
stitutes this year. The first series will
begin May 20. and will include the
counties in the wheat belt.
The exafninat ton for graduation from
the common schools will be held in each
county next Saturday. About 40 per
cent of the school population is found
in the common schools.

significant fact that the state has al

educational institutions, and the de-

successful in securing legislation for
the Improvement of their work but
very little has been done for the COM
mon and secondary schools. The great
masses of the people pay taxes for the
support of these schools. and it is here
that the great majority of the boys and

for the consolidation of rural schools IS
the first practical legislation along this
line that has been secured within the
last decade or more. The rural mail

HIGH ON WATER STAND.
Lawrence Students Paint Glass Sign
in Dangerous Place.

Lawrence Kas.. March 25-Last
night some members of the freshman
class of engineers succeeded in paint
ing their class sign in very prominent
place on the stand tower and at the
same time painted over the sign of
rival classes. The stand tower is
located on Mount Dread just north of
the university campus. 1t is 100 feet
high and about rs feet in circumfer-
ence. For several years it has been the
custom of classes to paint their in
sigma on this tower which occupies
such commanding position. Last year
Norman McGillivray, president of the
Junior class fell a distance of rs feet
while trying to paint his class sign
and was crippled for life. This accident
put an end to the practice until it's re-
vival last night. A steel ladder affords
access up one side of the tower, but
signs painted from the ladder are too
easily daubed out, hence in latter years
the decorators have been hoisted up
by ropes. The numbers painted last
night are on the opposite side of the
tower from the ladder and are about
so feet from the ground.

A Rather Unusual Suit Brought
at lola.
Injured Smelter EmplOye Wants
$137 Damages.
FOR LOST EMPLOYMENT
i. T.. Grisham Says He Would
Have Earned This
If He Had Worked But He
Couldn't Work.

lola, Kas., March 25.-The Register
says: Rather an unusual suit has been
brought in the district court by l. T.
Grisham, one time manager of the
Dunkard hospital in East lola. He has
sued the George Nicholson smelter for
$137.50 which he says he would have
earned by now had he been allowed to
work.
In his petition he states that he was
formerly employed in the Nicholson
smelter al Nevada, Mo. In that works
he met with an accident which crippled
him, by reason of the gross careless
ness" of the owner. He sued Mr..
Nicholson for So, 900 damages, but dis
missed the suit on promise that he was
to be given permanent light employ
ment such as he could do at the lola
works at s1.25 a day. He did begin such
work, and for a long time was night
watch at the factory. He says he was
discharged November Is, 1901, and that
the amount he could have earned had
he been at work steadily up to Marcn
20, 1902, would be $137.50 and SO he has
brought suit for that sum.
