Decision on SLOT Machines.

Topeka, Mar. 3O.-Attorner General
Coleman rendered an opinion to the
effect that all slot machines, where
there is any element or chance what
ever in their operation, come under
the ban of the new anti-slot machine
law. This takes in money machines
for cigars OF other property. It also
catches those machines where person
is given one cigar with each roll of
the wheel, with chance of getting
two or three more cigars. The only
machines that are not placed in the
prohibited list are the penny gum ma
chimes, penny candy machines, weigh.
ing machines and music machines.

GO TO CANADIAN LANDS.
c. Wood Davis Advises Farmers to stay
In Kansas


Abilene, Kans., Mar. &C. Wood
Davis. the statistician and magazine
contributor, will soon give to the gov
eminent through the Kansas senators
formal complaint against the Cana
dian governments advertising of its
farm lands in the Northwest. Nearly
every county seat paper in Kansas is
carrying this advertising and Mr..
Davis says the crop yields to be ex-
pected are much overestimated while
those of Kansas and Nebraska are in
other advertising placed in the farm
ers' hands deprecated.
Not only is the extent of cultivata-
bic land" he says, ''of the Canadian
Northwest extravagantly exaggerated
in the face of the facts set forth in the
sober reports of the Canadian officials.
but the propagators of these fetions
modestly assert, that the rate of devel-
opment has elsewhere never been
equaled."
Many farmers from Central Kansas
have gone to the Canadian lands in the
last two years, but this season the
emigration is toward Washington and
California.
