Kansas WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

KHNS4S WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
The friends of the Kansas Yves
leyan University are rejoicing over
the good news sent out from that
institution at the beginning of the
new year. While last year broke
the record for enrolment at the
University, the beginning week this
year was just double that of a year
ago. This seems that the Kansas
Wesleyan is taking rapid start
to the front.
In addition to the increased at
tendance there are many other
things that have given IFS friends
great encouragement. The Ep-
worth Leagues of the Conference
have under repair the Chapel of the
College, which they are greatly
improving and charging; City
Waterworks has been added to the
College; to make long story short
the Kansas Wesleyan is the COM
ing school of Northwest Kansas
A large donation is confidently
expected for the University from
parties in the East by President
Roach who IS handling the finances
OF the institution.

there is little doubt but that the lands
Of the university could be handled in
this way with far more profit to the
people than under the present system.
The university trustees would have a
personal interest in getting all the rev.

would therefore look after the leasing
thereof with great care. Under the
present management a large quantity

should be SO amended that the insti.

supervisory power of the state land
board.
This is the manner in which univer'

Another matter should be carefully
considered at this time. The congress

the law it will at ono be seen that the
state educational institution was in

Our Satisfactory President.

In the recent election the majority
of people decided that the present
form of administration was entirely
satisfactory n that no change was
necessary. The people also decided
that, for popularity among home REM
edies. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
stands foremost and supreme. 1t has
been thoroughly tested by the Ameri-
can people for over so years and found
entirely satisfactory. If you suffer
from loss Of appetite, nausea, bloating,
heartburn, belching, Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, b~iliousness, chills,
colds or malaria, fever and ague we
urge you to try the Bitters at once.
It's results are certain. Weak or deli
cate females will also receive imme-
diate benefit from a few doses of the
Bites. 1t stimulates and strengthens
their weak organs and thus cures all
monthly Irregularities. Don't fail to

LEGISLATIVE SHORT TALK.

1t is the verdict OF the Laramie PEG
pie that the members Of the legislature
are a superior lot of iellows-men in
whose hands the interests of the state
are entirely safe.
The president of the senate is said
to be the handsomest man in the legis-
lative body, but when 1t comes to hap
piness he yields the palm to the chief
clerk.
Mr.. Atherly has introduced a bill
amending the statutes 30 that the third
grade certificate shall entitle the hold
er to teach for a period Of one year;
and a third grade certificate shall not
be issued a second time to the same
person; the second grade certificate
shall entitle the holder to teach for q
of two years; and the state
or professional certificate shall entitle
the holder to teach in any school of
, 1905-01-18

the state for a period of six years. No
certificate granted by the board of ex-
aminers or county superintendent shall
be endorsed or renewed without ex-
animation for the same, as provided
in this chapter, except that a teacher,
showing ten years successful service
in the schools of Wyoming, may be
granted a renewal by the legally con,
.stituted authority. without examina-
ton. The Republican believes in plac-
ing a high standard for teachers. Let
the salaries be good and the service

fed copies OF the journals. This year
the august senate bucked and cut the
appropriation out entirely. In Charley
Argesheimer's case, perhaps he can
stand it. but George Perry has just
taken unto himself a charming wife
and needs the money.
Mr.. Watts of Laramie county desires
to amend the statute fixing terms of
the supreme court so that the April
session will begin on the first Monday
instead of the fourth Monday, as at
present. The october session will not
be in%terfered with, but will begin On
the first Monday, as under the present
law.

$500 will be paid for wolves and $1.00

THE N

In all probability a bill will be in.
troduced in the present legislature
making radical changes in our state
land laws. While land matters are
under consideration, The Republican
would like to direct the attention of
the members Of the legislature to an
apparent oversight in the first draft of
our land laws. 1t is apparent that the
constitutional convention intended
that the board of trustees Of the state
university should have control of the
university lands. The constitution
Gays:
The Legislature shall provide by law
for the management of the university,
its lands and other property, by a
board of trustees, consisting Of not less
than seven members." etc.
1t is very apparent that 1t was the
purpose to have the univsrsity trustees
take charge Of the lands. q well as the
other property Of the Institution. and
they are well qualified to do SO. In fact

MR.. C~HATTERTON'S BOOK.

THE secretary of state wrote a
book n it Is giving him some little
trouble. In his book he took occasion
to give the population Of the several
counties in 1900 and the estimated pop
ulation Of the counties in 1904. He
found that Laramie county had de.
creased in population to the extent of
3 ,301; Albany. 1884, and Sweetwater,
SIG. This, too, in the face Of the fact
that every one of these counties show
ed a large increase in vote between
the years named. How the secretary
arrived at this conclusion is hard to
understand. but he reached it.
In the computation, no account ap-
pears to have been taken of the fact
that in the older communities there are
more children and consequently fewer
votes to the total population. For in
stance, in Laramie and Albany coun-
ties hundreds of the residents settled
more than thirty years ago. They have
children and grand children.
But taking the secretary's W rea'
soning. He says the present estimated
population is based upon the increase
in vote. If this Is true, how does it
come that the increase in vote in Lar
annie, Albany and Sweetwater coun-
ties means a loss in population?
The Republican appends a table by
Mr.. r. P. Fuller which gives the &C
curate vote and population for 1900,
the vote for 1904 and the probable in
crease in population based upon the in
crease in the vote. together with per-
centage, as follows:

PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds Of people afflicted with rheu.
matism have spent years under tho care
Of excellent physicians III vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
chat it is fastened OH them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
"Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After had been sitting while
my limbs seemed SO heavy / could hardly
walk OH the first attempt. So long as ]
kept moving was all right, but just as
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
Ny hands were SO bad I couldn't touch
the palms Of them OH fat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
"Did you call in physician?"
at doctored steadily for over year
then one doctor said: you have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
"How, then, did you get rid Of it?"
cat different times l had read in vari.
uus publications about DIR. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. l took
them steadily for four months in ac.
cordance with the directions. BY that
time was completely cured"
"Have you been free from it ever
gince?"
"Since then have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and box or two Of
the same pills made me all right again. E"
Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
Joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one OF
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time III perfectly sound
condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

market, adjoining. the Walter Hunt
grocery, the Odd Fellows block, in
which is the Citizens state bank, and
the Avenue hotel, had walls blown out
and all tn windows demolished, and
that across the street the Independent
