day, and we place them on their hon
or to take advantage of this privilege
The superintendent is requested to
notify all the teachers that if they dc
not attend and become members, and
participate in the work of the associa'
ton, this fact will be considered an
evidence of spirit of disloyalty and
will have its influence when applica-
ton for reelection is made.

chemistry classes of the University
of Kansas, composed of about eighty
engineering students. refused to at
tend it's recitation under Hamilton P.

try. After cutting class the men,
bers all met and agreed to attend no
more classes under Mr. Cady until, as
they resolved, he reforms and be-
comes more reasonable. - The num-
Der of failures in Mr.. Cady's classes
is far in excess of those in any other
class in the university, some times
amounting to about so per cent. The
students allege that the work assign
ed them was unreasonable.

Mr.. and Mrs. Elijah Pitcher, was shot
while hunting by the accidental dis
charge of a gun in the hands of one

Enioins Union Pacific. - Ida Har-
vey, a resident of the southern part
of Leavenworth county, filed suit
in the district court to enjoin the
Union Pacific railroad from running
through her farm. She asserts that
employees of the company removed
fence and started to take thirteen
feet of her land without her consent.
The farmers are all strongly against
the Union Pacific building the new
double track and others threaten in
junction suits.
Faculty Runs Iege.-There is no
change in President Nichols decision
regarding the three students suspend
ed nor did the student body strike as
threatened in mass meeting. Another
meeting was held and students de-
cided to wait for the president to res

quieted and it is not thought the stu

as large.

Individual families from Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Illinois are arriving daily.
1t is a part of the annual exodus
from older sections of the west. More
than IA million dollars worth of farm
land has been sold in Dickinson
county since October, nearly all of it
to westerners, who are now coming
to take possession. The train load
that came was made up in Brown and
Nemaha counties. They had sold
