 INCREASED ACREAGE.

Marshall, Ark. April 28. = More than 2,000 bales of cotton have been shipped from this place. But very little cotton has been raised in this section until now, and since the St. Louis and North Arkansas railroad has been built the shipping facilities are much better. A great deal of produce is being shipped from this point. Before the road was built most of it was hauled overland to Little Rock.
 The fruit industry is flourish ing in this section and thousands of trees are being set putin young orchards. A large canning fac tory is being put in, at cost of S4,00O.

Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide

WILL BURN 1T AGAIN.
IrOQuOIs Theater to Be Set on
Fire Once More.

Chicago. Jan. 14.-As soon as the cor
-ofler's jury releases it's control of the
Iroquois theater the playhouse will be
again given over to the flames, If plans
evolved by Mayor Harrison and Walter
L. Fisher of the City club are carried
out. Experts who will fight over again
the IrOquOis confiagration will have
trained fire fighters at their elbows to
see that the demonstration of the plans
does not bring about any property loss
outside the partially ruined playhouse.
The purpose of again firing the theater
is to test the sufficiency of city ordi-
nances present and prospective.
AT a conference today between Mayor
Harrison and Mr.. Fisher this subject
was discussed extensively, and 1t was
decided that nothing that had been
done in Chicago for many years would
approach this plan in the amount of
good for the public that would result.
With men who understand every detail
of the test to watch every action of
the flames and gases and to regulate
effects by the manipulation of the ven
tilatorS and doors it was urged that
the benefits to accrue from the fire
test would be practically inestimable.
With the Iroquois stage filled with ex-
celsior and rubbish and a fire raging
thereon, the conditions being like those
of the fatal afternoon of December 80,
the eXoerts expect to learn a great deal
about the flame that swept SO many lives
away. J. R. Freeman, expert fires,
will be asked to take charge of the test.

FOR A RACING CIRCUIT.
Meeting Held in Topeka to Arrange
One

in the 0 emsni CLUB Eooms this ar
ternoon for the purpose of forming a
racing circuit to take in the county tracks
of the state. It is believed that the cir
cult will have membership of more thln
80 towns when fully organized. c. H
Sampson of the State Exposition com
pany, which has membership in the state
circuit with Missouri, Iowa and other
middle west states, was at the meeting
and led in the organization.
I'VE want to organize large county
circuit said Mr.. Sampson today, "as it
will be of great advantage to the state
meet. By securing a harmonious organi-
cation of the racing towns in Kansaz it
will be possible TO develop high stand
ard of racing. The smaller circuits will
be a great factor for the advancement OF
the state circuit. Also tbs towns in the
state will be encouraged to organize
smaller local circuits. it will be inn
possible to arrange a series of meets in
which all thirty towns can take part in
any one year.

NO DANCING OR CARDS.
Rules That Will Govern Fraternities
at Washburn.

In a faculty meeting at Washburn
college Wednesday rules and restric-
lions were passed regarding the organi-
cation of fraternities.
In these rules the faculty states its
right to do away with any fraternity
or restrict its membership. The num-
Der of fraternities was limited to one
fraternity to every thirty men or ma
jor fraction thereof who are eligible to
membership according to faculty rules.
Eligibility to membership was limited
to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. All
public limitations were prohibited. and
no fraternity will be permitted to place
any insignia on any pledged person.
Each organization must keep on ale
with the dean a file of its members and
a statement of it's methods. Those
"frats" who have chapter houses are
required to submit their house rules to
the faculty.
The rules which caused so much
hardship last year in reference to cards
and dancing were again included in the
rules governing "frats.'' This rule
states that from all college students
social functions cards and dancing shall
be excluded" To K U. fraternity
man this rule would be. deemed a thing
to be laughed at. and Washburn society
circles are waiting with expectancy the
test of its practicability.

number of affidavits in defense of 3. j..
Taft of Parsons, who has been nominated
for postmaster and who is charged with
drunkenness, immortality and gambling.
were filed with the senate committee on
postroads today The affidavits were
turned over to Senator Burton, who has
charge of matters in committee affecting
Kansas.
The affidavits are from prominent citi-
zens of Parsons, including Mayor Gabrild
A. Osgood, leading bankers and merch-
ants and others. They are strongest kind
of defense of Taft. There are affidavits
from three or four railroad men stating
that w. R. Sparrow. who makes the
principal charge against Taft, that of
immortality, was never in the employ %

learned things detrimental to Taft

Where the governor makes one friend
in an appointment to office. he often
makes a dozen enemies because he cam
not fill one place with twelve seekers.
The alleged machine has some things
to its discredit. but it has many on
the other side of the ledger. There are
things which it does not stand for.
It does not stand for Tom Kelly with
his scaly record. It does not stand
for Mr.. Burton in some of his New
Jerusalem and other schemes. 1t does
not stand for the fast mail graft which
is practically for the sole benefit of the
two morning newspapers which are
booming Mr.. Hoch. It does not stand
for the extravaganza in the late state
senate and it's alleged leader, Mr.. Lee
land. was obliged to scale down the
wholesale appropriations advocated by
Manager Stubs of the ways and mean
committee in the late extravagant
house.
In a word. the Hoch movement is not
what it's supporters would have the
public believe it is and when Hoch
says he cannot bring himself to permit
himself to run he really means that he

says Bailey is run by Leland. Yes,
Leland stayed with the governor day
and night till he appointed the brother
in-law of Leland's dear friend, Hoch,
and more recently Judge Atkinson of
Parsons, the county seat of Doniphan
county.
If the people who have abused and
lied about Bailey could turn about and
look at their actions along their line of
march Lots wife would no longer be
a trademark in the salt business.

Mills; vice president, c. L. Wood;
treasurer, d. ]. Greenwald: secretary,
7. J. Anderson. President J. z. Frost
has withdrawn after three years of
successful service at the head of the
organization. Mr.. Frost has made on
able presiding officer and his three
terms as president have been marked
by close attention to the affairs of the
organization.
At their meeting this morning the
directors disposed of the problem of
new quarters by arranging for the rem
tai of a large hall on the third floor
of the building now occupied at 627
Kansas avenue, to be used for meeting
purposes only. This room has been
engaged by the Washburn college mus
ic department and will be used as
studio and recital room. 1t is large
enough for the purposes of the club and
will be used by it only on meeting
nights. The room on the second floor
which the club now occupies will be di-
vided and a part of it set aside for
committee purposes. 1t will be large
enough for small meetings.
