A delegation of young women. repre-

banded basket ball team of Kansas
university brought in to the State
Journal today a statement regarding
reasons for the discontinuance of the
game on the part of the young women
of the university at Lawrence. The an
nouncement was made last week that
no more games would be played, the
alleged reason being that the girls
mothers objected to their appearance.
1T wasn't that" said one of the
young women, all of whom refused to
give their names. I'VE had to quit be-
cause the athletic board ordered US to.
We feel that they should have made
their decision at the beginning of the
season. We would have been spared a
lot of hard practicing, would not now
be obliged to cancel the dates We have
made and would be spared the ridicule
in which a number of newspapers have
been indulging at our expense. We
like the game and want to play, and
our mothers are willing that we should
do so. I do not believe a majority of
the members of the university faculty
sustain the action of the athletic
board

The house committee on postoffices
and post roads has completed the post
Office appropriation bill 1t carries
S16s, 49,, 5SS. The appropriation last year
was S15S, 500, 900. The total appropria-
ton for rural free delivery service is
81, 700, 900. Last year this item was
ST. 500, 600. The salaries of rural free
delivery carriers are increased from $500
TO $72O. Included in the total is the
customary fast mail graft of $4,000.
This is a small amount in so large a
sum, but It looks large when it is con-
sidered that it is without a shadow of
justification and is not demanded by
anybody outside of the Kansas City
newspaper offices.

Horne's AGAIN on Fire.

nearly destroyed by fire a few months

at 1925, but the fire department

Van Buren, street. A boy was at work
thawing out the water pipes, and to IA
cilitate his work he filed a box with
sawdust, poured coaloil over it, and set
it afire under the pipes. It is not
known whether the pipes thawed, but
it is certain that the woodwork took
fire and the department was called out
in a hurry.

Flour exports from the United States
in 1903 were larger than in any pre-
ceding year in the history of our COM
merce and aggregated practically TO-
600 900 barrels. The value of the flour
exports also exceeded that of any pre-
ceding year, with the exceptions of
1892 and 1898, when the value slightly
exceeded that of 1903, but the quantity
exported was materially less. The total
number of barrels of flour exported
from the United States in the fiscal
year 1903 was 19,716.634. valued at $73,-
756, 404, while in 1893 the number of
