.PITTSBURG TO MOVE UP
Will Enter List of First Glass Kansas
Cities.

Pittsburg, Kan, has through its
mayor H. C. Lemon, notified Governor
Hoch that it is ready to graduate out
of the second class cities of Kansas,
and join the municipalities of the first
class The census made by the city as
SCISSOR, and completed in May, shows
that the population is 1902, which is
just IL more than is required by the
city charter act.
This is the seventh city to get into
City, Topeka, Wichita, Leavenworth,
Atchison and Fort Scott. Fort Scott is
the only one of the lot which does not
have the required $1,000. In 1900 its
population was 1892, but it has grown
several thousand since then.
Pittsburg will be the only city of the
first class in the Third congressional
district This fact will give it consider
able prestige over its competitors. 1t
has had rapid growth in population,
along with all the other towns in south
eastern Kansas. and before long it is
likely that Coffeyville, lola, Chanute,
independence and others will be past
the Is, 900 mark.
Returns from the cities of the stale
through the decennial census have not
vet been announced, but large increases
are certain to be shown in all the above
mentioned towns.
The state law makes it mandatory
,,non a city when its population exceeds
IL 600 to notify the governor and have
the necessary proclamation published
putting the city into the first class. The
principal difference is that cities OF the
first class are regulated by the city
charter act. and are allowed to pay
salary to their mayor and council.

eign office from ST. Rene Taillandier,
minister to Morocco announces that the
Moroccan government has yielded to the
French demands and given complete

The foreign office was highly gratified

tions The crowd attempted to enter
the building but were prevented by
soldiers and some fighting resulted.
The police We're Withdrawn and kept
in the background on account of popu-
lar disfavor. The soldiers and gen
darmes are performing general duty,
the soldiers guarding the foreign lega-
tionS. Apparently there is an out
break of anti-foreign sentiment but the
government is anxious to prevent the
injury of members of the legations and
other foreigners. A few foreigners
have been caught by the mobs and
roughly used.
The Nichi Nichi says: How can
the government retain it's dignity in
the presence of such rioting? The
members of the committee appointed
at yesterdays meeting have good
standing and are not irresponsible agi-
tators. The police exceeded their au-
thority with a result derogatory to the
honor and dignity of Toxic. Popular
police finally were unable to keep or
der. If the present conditions continue
the contagion may spread and in
nocent people and their property be
damaged.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 31.-A
number of people from this section
of the country have recently visited
the town of Oroville, in Okanogan
county, with a possible view of locat-
ing. The future prospects of the
little town were very highly colored
by reason of a possibility of rail-
road being built through it. Those
who have returner are not very well
impressed with the prospect and say
it is a little mushroom town, with IA
saloons waiting for the approach of
the construction crews of the rail-
road to furnish the required trade.
At present all of the inhabitants of
the town are engaged in business and
are simply trading around among
themselves, while waiting for a brief
harvest The IA saloons do not all
together sell a barrel of beer in a
day. They further say that there
is not surrounding country to support
a town of any size-big, high, rugged
mountains, without even bunchgrass.

ASRBURY PARK
barry PARADE

ASBIRY PARK. n. j., Aug. 81
The annual baby parade, which forms
the principal feature of the carnival
week, is Il thing of the past. Never
before has there been such ii large
number of babies in the parade and
never was the display more attract
i've from every point of view. Thou
sands of visitors had come from all
parts of the east to swell the large
crowds already here and, as there is
no possibility of finding room for the
enormous crowd in the hotels here,
most of the visitors will be compelled
to leave tonight.
The number of entries had reached
nearly 500, but the actual number
was somewhat less than that. The
number of beautiful children was UNI
usually large and the judges whose
task it was to award the prizes had
Il very difficult task before them. 1t
will be evening before the judges
have completed their work. In addi-
tion to the handsome souvenir pins
to he distributed there will be so
silver loving cups to be awarded the
prize babies of the parade, Some of
the loving cups donated represent IA
value of $50 to 500.

ed him out of the room more dead

Gus and permanent injuries.
The police at first took no action
whatever against the prince. This
caused such great indignation that
the police took proceedings against
the prince for creating a public dis
turbance, a much milder offense,
which comes before the district court
instead of the criminal court. The
district court sentenced the prince to
pay a fine of $3.50.
Moeller then brought a civil action
against the prince. claiming an an
nual pension of $500 from his as
sailant as compensation for the in
juries inflicted. The case was tried
before the third civil court at Ores
den and the Russian prince was SEN
