Latest Kansas Events.
Kansas and the World. Fair.

The Kansas commission to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at ST.
Louis has decided to construct the
Kansas building of staff. This is a
preparation of cement plaster, which
looks like stone and is good for tenn
porary use. The plaster probably will
be furnished by Kansas manufacture
ers. All Kansas architects will be
asked to submit plans for the build
Ing and liberal prizes will be of
fered for the best. The commission
has decided to ask the legislature
for $4,000 additional to expend.
Already $4,000 has been appropri-
ated. 1t is not proposed to house
any competitive exhibits in the state
building. These will be placed in
the several departmental exhibi
buildings on the fair grounds. The
''lilding will serve more as place of
reception and a headquarters for
Kansas people. The building will
have a historical room where there
will be a collection of documents and
relics picturing the history of the
state since before John Brown and
Jim Lanes time. 1t will have the re-
marlable geological collection of
Prof. L. L. Dyche, the Attic explorer
and professor of the University of
Kansas. One other feature which
will prove of very great attractive
ness will be a Kansas art exhibit.

and the more they tried The worse they
seemed. Although the spectators did
not see much of an exhibition, as far
as the game was concerned, they had
plenty of fun at the expense OF the
Reading men, as they acted in n most
ridiculous manner Vt times. The local
men won the game in the first inning,
when they made ten runs. Shultz re-
Joined the team on Saturday, and led
the batting order. He was followed
by Hartley, Diggins, Meehan and
Walker, all OF whom tried to see who
could bat out the longest hits. Sand
herr could not connect with the ball
in Saturdays game. Shultz played a
fine game at third, and accepted every
thing that came his way Walker
pitched good game. and he did not
have to exert himself. Reading got
eight hits Off him.
Reading HAD two pitchers In the box,
but they could not do any effective
work. Tierneys base running was a
