1t should be a source of gratlfi
cation to. everyone in northwest
Kansas that the Kansas Wesleyan
University is taking a long stride
forward this year. The trustees
have put in the field one of the
strongest men of the west to raise
500, 900, and 1t is practically assur
ed that more than that sum will
be secured within - months,
Then the large advance planned
can be put upon a basis that will
insure large results for the upllft
OF all this section.
This is the only institution we
have in the Northwest half of Kan
sas, more than 55 miles from Mis-
souri, which maintains a Full Col
lege course of Instruction, and
our people are showing far sighted
wisdom in taking the deep interest
in it which they do. Owing to It's
location and the high educational
ideals of our people, this college
must soon come to be supreme
among the colleges of Kansas, and
our sons and daughters will be
proud to be counted among its
alumni. NJ.

The Glorious Fourth.

Hays was a pretty tdead" town
last Tuesday-nearly all our pa
triotic citizens going to Ellis to
help that city celebrate, 80 tick
cts were sold at tho depot to Ellis,
and the plug was crowded to the
steps, many from Russell, with
their band, besides many from the
other towns, were aboard, while
many drove up from here.
The first feature of the day was
the Ellis-Hays baseball game, a
very poor one throughout, many
errors were made and The team
work was .'nix''. Mills, who did
the pitching for Hays, was out OF
his usual form and the Ellis fans
landed ON him for many good hits,
Earl SpradIey doing his share for
the Ellis victory.
The resulting score was
Ellis II, Hays 6.
Horse races were the next at
traction and they proved quite in
teresting for the followers of the
turf.
The double tournament in Tennis
between Hays and Ellis was won
by the latter by ono game. Short
ad. games and sets were played.
Ed Rea and G. w. Miller jr., of
this city being defeated by Ford &
Mathew of Ellis, by score of
2-6, 6-5, 60.
The Ellis ladies' double tourna
ment and the singles between
Hays and Ellis were played imme
dlately after supper on the city
grounds. In the latter Freese of
Hays defeated Matthew of Ellis,

and sets. Prizes were awarded

HOUSE WILL NOT
 YIELD X PARTICLE
ARE DETERMINED THE STATE HOOD BILL SHALL BE BROUGHT TO CONFERENCE UNTIL sEN- ATE APPRECIATES POSITION.

Washington, February 11.-A plan was perfected today by the leaders of the House whereby the statehood bill may be brought into that body and sent to conference without running the slightest risk of having the Senate amendment concurred in by union of the few re- publican votes with those of the min ority.
 No effort will be made to send the bill to conference until assurances are forthcoming that the Senate fully appre- ciates the unyielding position the House has assumed. If such assurances are re- ceyed. a rule will be drawn under which the bill can be sent to conference, with out subjecting 1t to motion to concur in the Senate amendments. Before this rule is presented to the House for adoption, private vote on it will be taken by the republican members, who will be asked 10 record themselves over their signatures. Not only will the paper to be signed pledge support to the rule, but 1t also will pledge those signing 1t to sup port the provisions of the House state hood bill to the last.
 In the count which has gone on today, 1t is said to have been ascertaned that not more than three or four republican members will refuse to sign such paper.

Situation No Clearer.

Lodz, February 1.-The fifteenth day of the strike finds the situation here ap- parently no clearer than the day on which the movement began. The condition of affairs. briefly. is
 There are 100000 strikers, in Lodz and it's vicininty, and the strikers demand an eight-ohur day, with pay at the rate of 20 kopres (ten cents) a nhour, which is between three and four times the pres ent rate of pay. These demands. which are considered extravagant, added to tho fact that the liberal concessions granted by employers, have not been accepted, are taken as proof that the strike is political rather than a labor movement. Manufacturers offer a ten-hour day with m increase of wages of from five to fif- tsen per cent, and also agree to reduce rents for workmen's dwellings. They is- sued an ultimatum this morning that un- less the strikers accept their terms and return to work Monday, the mills will be closed indefinitely.
 Personal relations between masters and men are of the friendiest. the masters believing the strike is due to outside influences.
 Employers made small advances to men during the strike, but realizing that this was aiding them to prolong the strug- gle. they decided to cease these pay ments The strikers resent this stoppage and threaten violence. In some instances they have put the threat into effect and caused bloodshed.
 Business in Lodz is a complete stand still. The street railway service has been suspended and shop open for new GUS toners.

 dents Became Panic
 Stricken.

New York, February 1.-While a score of engines were pouring tons of water on the flames in the Casino theatre at Thirty-ninth street and Broadway this afternoon, another fire which started in a double hve-story apartment house In Thirty eighth street less than two blocks away, endangered the lives of many per- sons, and threatened to destroy great amount of surrounding property. Sweep ing through the apartment house the flames sent 150 persons scurrying into the street without a chance even to save their personal belongings. All the occu- pants of the house escaped in safety with the exception of a little girl. who was cut off on one of the upper floors by a rush of flame.
 Her cries for help brought a policeman who dashed into the burning building and carried her down the stairs through smoke and flames. Both the officer and the child were slightly burned, but their injuries were not at all serious. The only other injuries as a result of the fire were sustained by six firemen, who were over come by Illuminating gas, which escaped from a broken pipe. They recovered quick ly and returned to their work
 The apartment house was soon wrapped in flames, and long row of tenement houses in the rear seemed to be in im- minent danger of destruction. Scores of families in the tenement houses were thrown into panic by the near approach of the flames, and many rushed from their homes. Others seized anything they could lay their hands upon and pitched 1t through windows. The street was GOV cred with broken furniture and bric-a- brac. The monetary loss did not exceed s20 0OO

 In these words Emperor Nicholas whose word Is law, personally declared himself in favor of a land congress, and expressed the conviction that the time had come to prepare to give the people voice in government.
 The Emperor's words were spoken in the course of a conversation with Count Leo Deonvitch Tolstoi, son of the famous author, and fully confirm the Associated Press interview with Grand Duke Vladi- mir on January 91, in which the Grand Duke expressly declared that his august nephew was in favor of zemsky zabor. The semi-official denial sent out subse- quently Is now disproved by the sov- ereign's statement to Count Tolstoi.
 The Associated Press this evening saw Count Tolstoi in a comfortable house fac ing the Tauris gardens. Speaking in ex cellent English, Count Tolstoi said:
