Do Not Want an Exhibition of Kansas
Girls at St. Louis.

Larned, Kas., April 5.-The moth
ers of girls who live in this section
of Kansas do not look with favor upon
the proposal to have a beauty show
of Kansas girls at the worlds fair
this summer. One woman said:
It am sure the commissioners have
net given the idea full consideration.
There is more than one side to it. OF
course. it would be refreshing for Wis
itors to be received in the Kansas
building by a company of bright and
attractive girls, such as Kansas could
send there, and certainly they would
be a great help to the matrOn. That
is the side of it the commissioners
look upon, but there is another side.
What mother wants her innocent and
pure-minded daughter to be made a.
show of for the gaze of the vulgar
public? All the world will be at the
St. Louis exposition, and our Kansas
girls are not for the inspection of all
the world. It is all right to have
fine stock show from Kansas, but not
a beauty show of our girls. And there
is still another side, and that is that
many would be called and few chosen.
This would leave in the hearts of the
many left behind resentment. envy
and jealousy. No, we don't want to
advertise Kansas that way, but if
show is decided upon let US send all
our girls. 1t would come high, of
course, but better that than an invid-

JAPANESE HOLD KOREA.
Russians Have Been Driven Across
the YaIu

London, April Slight weeks from
the opening of the war sees Japan with
out any real fighting, apparently in
complete possession of Korea and the
first stage Of the campaign ended.
According to the Nails Kobe Japan
csc correspondent, a Ping Yang dis
patch has been received there confirm
Ing the report from Shanghai that Jap
anese scouts entered Win, Korea, at IL
a. m Monday and that the Russians
apparently retreated beyond the Yalu
river, but no further news of any kind
is at hand throwing light on either land
or sea operations. Everything, however,
is regarded as pointing to the immi-
nence Of important development. The
MatPs Seoul correspondent telegraphing
Monday asserts that the landing. of
japanese troops at Chinampo has now
ceased, but that the port is guarded
by large fleet and the japanese base
has moved north from Ping Yang where
only a few troops now remain.
The correspondent of the Standard at
Toxic reports that the japanese CORE
spondents at the front who followed the
army through the China-Japan war ex-
press great surprise at the Improvement
decade The improvement is notable
alike in equipment. organization and
discipline, and more especially in the
educational standard of the men.
The Posts Toxic correspondent says
Japanese torpedo boats scouting at
Port Arthur discovered unencumbered
a channel 100 yards wide which still
admits of the passage of vessels.
The Times correspondent at sea, in
wireless message, via Wef-Hai-Wei,
says:
Il am cruising in the vicinity of Port
Arthur and have discovered no evil
dence of vessels of either belligerent.
The impression is gaining ground that
the Russians were not totally shut in
by the Japanese attack of March 27.''
The Times Chefoo correspondent
says the Lao river is extensively
mined and that Y stone laden junzs
are ready for sinking at the entrance
to the river at a moments notice The
guns of the Russian gunboat Sivoutch
have been reshipped.

GAS AT IS CENTS.
Chicago's Long Fight Ends in Victory
in Supreme Court.

Chicago April 5.-The decisions of the
United States supreme court against
the Peoples Gas Light & Coke company
of this city, in favor of the city of Chi
cago simply holds that the ordinance
passed by the city council October IA,
1900, to take effect January /, 1901 fix
ing the maximum price of Illuminating
gas at rs cents per thousand feet, is
legal. The company held that the ordi-
nance was Illegal because it held a con-
tract to furnish gas for one dollar per
thousand. The decision of today holds
not well taken. The decision was made
on a suit brought by the company to
restrain the city from enforcing the
ordinance. The fight for rs cent gas has
been going on for several years and if
the decision today proves retroactive
the gas company will be compelled to
repay large sums of money to con-
Sumers.
