that all hunting trips are pleasant. Far

Why Juniors lost caps and balls and

ing his reasons in detail for ordering

The governor makes the sensational
charge that the state treasurer has
made personal loans from various
banks which are state repositories,
upon personal notes, and amounting 70
many thousands of dollars, and that
such loans were extended simply be-
cause Kempf was state treasurer, the
banks not refusing the loans through
fear that if they did the states money
would be withdrawn from them.
The governor says that the legisla-
ture should prohibit such PRACTICES
The governor also states that he is
informed that the surety company
which has furnished tie present bond
of the treasurer has refused to in
crease it to the amount desired.

vol are to be disarmed.
Wednesday was a, day of considera'
BILE anxiety in official circles. First an
order went forth that the vessels could
remain four days longer. Then nego'
tiations were begun for another four
days. This request was eagerly and
persistently pressed by the Russian
minister at Picking, but it was abso'
lntely refused by the Chinese govern
ment. Theleupon an order came to
Shanghai to rush work on the vessels
and 60 out to what seemed certain
death next Sunday. The abject distress
W of the Askold's crew when this news

disarmament, but the minister at Pc

St. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-The an
nouncement that the Askold and Gro
eovoi had been disarmed at Shanghai
came as no surprise here, since the
responsible authorities decided a week
ago, as stated in the Associated Press
dispatches, to follow this course Rus
STA was only waiting for a definite
agreement between China and japan
which would insure the protection of
the ships against a repetition of the
Ryeshitelni incident at Chefoo. After
the flags of the Askold and Grozovoi
had been hauled down their guns were
q. n.antled.

take out his ship even in the face OF
the superior Japanese force, but when
the admiralty ascertained the condi
ton of the Askold and the time le-
quired for repairs her disarmament
was ordered and the incident is con-
sidered closed.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26.-The Kan

luton for maintaining separate schools
for negro and white pupils.
The resolution states that the race
question has grown so serious in Kan
sas as to make some action necessary
Steps were taken to bring the matter
before the next legislature. A COM
mittee was appointed to draft a law
to be submitted to the legislature and
money was raised to maintain strong
lobby to work for the bill.
A vigorous, campaign in favor of the
law will be waged in all portions of
the state. 1t will become an issue in
the next election, as all candidates for
the legislature will be asked to pledge
themselves.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 26.-Secretary
Shaw opened the campaign in Montana
during the evening, speaking to large
audience at the Auditorium. He spoke
for two hours, devoting his attention
to definition of the issues between
the two great parties. He defended
the tariff as advocated by the Repub-
lican party, saying thatthe Democrats
insisted only upon low prices to the
consumer, while the Republicans in
sisted also on good market for the
producer, whether he produced labor,
raw material or manufacturing mate
rails. He said he would welcome an
issue that would deal with candidates
rather than politics, but he did not
think the Democrats would stick to
that issue as they could not success
fully attack the personal character or
integrity of President Roosevelt.
