Latest Kansas Events.
STUDENT. Need a Greater Library.

Students Need Greater Library.
A recent publication issued from the
Office OF the state printer is Hand
book of Kansas Libraries. - The book
is edited by Carrie M. Watson, libra
rian, and Edith M. Clarke, one of the
assistant librarians, at the University
of Kansas. The volume contains much
information to the Kansas reader.
Among other things, it is shown that
Andrew Carnegie has made direct gifts
Of s280.000 for library buildings in Kan
sas. Possibly the most gratifying in
formation to the citizens of Kansas is
that relative to the library at the state
university. The history of this library
dates from the founding of the uni
versity, but for the first ten years con-
sisted principally of congressional re-
cords and documents. During that
time the students who did extra read
ing secured the material from the pri
vate libraries of the professors. Twenty
years ago there were but 5000 volumes;
now there are more than $4,000 vol
umes, with ESQ periodicals and publ
cations of learned societies. There are
also 1873 Kansas newspapers on file in
the reading room. Next to the state
library at Topeka. this is the largest
working library in Kansas. The en-
tire $4,000 volumes are for the free use
of the students of the university. The
books are housed in Spoon0r library
building, erected in 1894 at an expense
Of $4,000, the funds for the purpose
having been given the state by the
terms of the will of William B. Spooner,
of Boston, an uncle of ex-ChancelloI
Snow, of the university. The book
stack of the library is absolutely fire
proof, being constructed entirely of
steel and stone, and has capacity of
100000 volumes. The attendance has
grown so large at the university that
even this magnificent COLLECTION of
books is inadequate for the needs of
the students. The regents of the uni
versity set aside $1,000 year for new
hooks, but many times this amount
should be expended each year to sup
ply the demand on the part Of students
pursuing the various lines Of study re-
curing original investigation. The
state appropriation for current expenses
of the university must be materially in
creased to provide the necessary funds

After pending in the courts for ten
years verdict was yesterday render
ed in the City Court in favor of the

Peninsular Railroad, which was alb
sorbed by the Seaboard Air Line. The
suit was for an amount which Capt.

railroad company as unpaid salary for
the period of eleven months, during
which time he was captain of the
steamboat Farmer.
He was given a favorable verdict
eight years ago, but a motion for
a new trial was made by the defend
ant. Three years later. when the mo-
ton was denied in the lower court,
the case was taken to the Supreme
Court. The verdict was overruled by
the higher court and the defendant
was given a new trial. The plaintiff
was represented by MIR. j. R. Saussy

MIR. j. p. williams Fears Results of
Cold weather That May Come.
Mr.. ]. P. Williams, one of the most
extensive peach growers of Georgia,
is fearful of the results of a killing
frost, or a spell of cold weather on
the peach trees. Mr.. Williams has re-
turned to Savannah from an extended
trip through the country and he says
the warm weather has so far advanced
the peach blooms that cold weather
would be very damaging.
with the coming of this warm
weather." he said, "the buds have
opened and everywhere the trees are
in full bloom. If there should be a
killing frost, or severe spell OF
cold weather, the result would prob
ably be damaging to the peach crop.
1 will not feel easy until all danger
of a freeze, or a severe frost, has
passed"
If there are no setbacks this year
the peach yield, in the opinion of Mr..
Williams, should be a generous one.
ION my FARMS" he said, "there are
81, 900 peach trees and unless some
thing intervenes, about 10000 of these
will produce peaches. The trees are
all in bloom and to all appearances
are very healthy. The only danger at
present is from cold.
1.-THE greatest care has been taken
with the trees and everything posi-
BILE done to insure a good yield. A
careful inspection has been made of
every tree and there are no signs
of any of the pests which are some
times so common. The weather thus
far has been excellent and we have
had no trouble on that score. The
chief danger at present is from a re-
turn of winter weather. A killing
frost would do untold damage"
