CASE RALPH BAN.
Hard to Secure a Jury in Wichita
Murder Case.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 19.-In the case of
the state of Kansas versus Ralph Balm,
charged with numbering William Flynn
in this city last September the work Of
impaneling a jury began this afternoon
On account of the prominence of the two
people in the case and the fact that so
many people are said 10 have reached a
decision in their own minds as to Balm s
guilt, it is thought that the work of Sc
curing a jury will require two or three
days alone.
day after the killing a verdict was given
to the effect that Flynn came to his
death by a shot from a revolver in the
hands OF Balm.

EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS.
from the Results of the LOufsiana
Purchase Exposition.

Unborn generations will profit by
the Worlds Fair of 1904 The influence
of this exposition upon the educational
systems of the world will be such as to
be felt long after those who attend the
fair shall have passed away. The little
red schoolhouse of the future will ben
eft by this influence no less than will
the great university, for one cannot help
but see in such comprehensive expo
sition a light that will shine far into
the highways and byways of the earth.
One hears quite frequently in these
preeXposition days the remark that the
st. Louis fair is to be primarily educative
in it's spirit and tendencies That the
creators of the exposition have in view
it's educational value to the word, rather
than it's greatness as mere spectacle for
a period, there can be no douot. They
have entered enthusiastically, in every
department of the work, into the idea
that this exposition is going to be a
great worlds university, a school for
the nations, in sense more distinctly
defined than at any previous enterprise
of the kind.
Here, for the first time in the history
of the world, there will be a COMPARE
tive exhibit of the educational methods
of every nation and state. That educa-
ton is the source of all progress has
been recognized by the exposition man
agement in giving first place among the
departments to education and in assign
ing to education and social economy for
the first time at any exposition, one of the
main exhibit palaces. That there wa:

l.
nothing of the after-thought idea in this
may be shown by the fact that the Pal
ace of Education was the first of the
great buildings to be completed. The
educational influences of the fair were
in the minds of the creators from the
first.
But outside the one building devoted
exclusively to the branch of education
by name, everything in the marvellous
spectacle will be educational. One can
not find anything within the limits of
the ,240 acres of exposition ground a
feature that lacks the quality of being in
structive. Whether it be ponderous
engine putting away in the turning of
gigantic wheels, or the silent flame of a
chemists lamp aiding in the elucida-
ton of the secrets OF the elements, all
exhibits and processes will teach
In the discussion of vital topics by men
and women of national and international
renown, at the various congresses to be
held during the exposition. there will be
a fruitful source of instruction, the in
f1uence of which must be felt by the fu-
ture 1t is not oversanguine to hope
that at these congresses new light may
be thrown upon problems OF the most in
innate interest to mankind

Last Thursday afternoon Lloyd F.
Morgan, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. M
Morgan, died at his home south or
town after several weeks of severe
sickness. Lloyd was a Young man
about % years of age, and has lived in
Trego county for good many years,
and has made many friends who re-
gret his death sincerely. 1t is always
sad to see the young depart from us,
but we feel that A Higher Power con-
trolls these matters CT life and death
and has a wise purpose in them. He
leaves father, mother. several
brothers and sisters to mourn his loss.

tends sympathy to those bereaved.
