Mr.. BRYAN and Mr.. Roosevelt
have met upon the peaceful field of
the White House offices and ex-
changed compliments, which for
wit or brilliancy could have been
excelled by any modern hero of ro-
nance, but which were clearly in
dicative of mutual respect. 1t is
something of an intellectual trump h
when a man of Bryan's avowed
principles of four years back can
gracefully and apparently with sin
cerlty congratulate the President on
some of his accomplishments, and
1T Is not less a demonstration OF
Roosevelts breadth of spirit and
llberallty that be received Mr..
Bryan with such cordially. Both
of these men are still young and it
may be that neither has reached
his fullest development. Bryan,
certainly in the last few years has
shown broadening of vision and
announcement that may or NAV
not have been due to that enlighten-
ing experience of a trip abroad.
Senator Cullom upon meeting Mr..
Bryan spoke of that gentleman's in
creased avoirdupois saying APPLY,
10y on have grown in more ways
than one, MIR. Bryan" Doubtful
as that compliment may have been
To- the one addressed 1T had the
merit of truth and it is a phenome-
non that a man of Roosevelt's char
acter would be quick to recognize.

WANT NO COLOR LINE.
Emporia Negroes File a Protest With
the School Board.

Emporia, Kas-, Jan. ga large
delegation of colored people were
present at the last meeting of the
board of education. They had petit
ton signed by several hun bred En-
poria colored people protesting to the
motion made at the Deeem Der meet
ing by Mr.. Retschlagg of the Third
ward. The motion was to segregate
the colored and white children in the
Third ward school. It was referred
to a committee of the board, with in
structions to report on the motion at
the last meeting. However, as the
chairman of the committee was alb
sent, no report was made.
The colored petitioners were headed
by David Upton and Stanley Wilson,
and they asked that before any action
be taken on the matter the colored
people be given a chance to argue
their side of the question, and this
privilege win probably be granted
them at the next meeting of the board.
The petition was placed on file and
will be considered along with the
original motion by the committee. As
heretofore mentioned, the motion does
not ask that the pupils be placed in
separate schools, but that they be seq
regated in each school ROOM

sometimes the one. sometimes the
other ahead, and never more than five
minutes apart.
Oficers of the vessels deny there
was any attempt to race. but none of

RABBITS EYE ON A BOY.
Delicate Operation in Philadelphia
May Save Sight.

Philadelphia, Jan. 6.-Parts of the
eye of a rabbit have with skillful
nicely been grated to the eye of a boy
at the Hahnemann hospital The pa
tient is doing well and the surgeons
are hopeful that the rare and delicate
operation may save the sight.
Francis Smith, years old, was the
patient. While playing with some com
panions around a building operation he
got some lime in his eye. Smith was
sent to the hospital There it was found
that the lime had eaten into the con-
junctiva, or the transparent skin over
the eye.
When the pain was relieved the boy
was almost sight1ess- Drs. c. NJ. Thorn
as, Messeroe, and Speakman were call
ed in and the conjunctiVa was taken
from a rabbits eye and grated on that
of the boy. It will take about three
weeks to determine whether or not the
operation is a success. In the mean
time the boys eyes will be closed by
heavy bandageS.

CHICKENS COMING IN.
Show Entries WIN Reach over the
5000 Mark

Today Is the last day for intending
exhibitors to enter their stock in the
state poultry show at the auditorium.
Tho entries are coming in thick and
fast and justifying the anticipations as
10 probable size. An estimate made
several days ago placed the probable
number Of entries at 5000 divided
among some ESQ fanciers. In several
instances the individual exhibitors viii
more than double the size Of their pens
which were entered here in former
years. Fowls from eight states will
be represented in the aggregation OF
pens, the Southwest having of course
the largest representation, though, as
has been mentioned before, states as
far removed as Alabama, Michigan
and New Hampshire have signified
their anxiety to make q reputable
showing A large pen of black geese
IS one OF the latest things on the entry
blanks and other features strange to
shows of former years are down on the
lists
The casual visitor at the show who
has no technical knowledge of fancy
poultry will be able to steer his
way through the pens and know what
he is looking a when he sees the var
ious specimens of high bred poultry.
Each pen will be labeled. Formerly
IL was up to the novice to venture a
guess at everything he saw, for there
was nothing in the way of label to
tell what was represented. The Office
of the secretary will be at the Auditor
ium from now on and the pens will
commence TO arrive late Saturday and
all day Sunday The work on the
organ may interfere some with the
preliminary details of the show but
It is expected that no material hind
rance Will be experienced.
The entire main floor of the Audi
forum will be utilized and it is pos
sible that a portion of the stage will
have to be pressed into service. The
opening day is Monday and from that
until the close Of the week poultry viii
reign supreme.
The price for admission is the same
as in former years, 10 cents. A good
opportunity to stand treat for next to
nothing The State Poultry assOcia-
ton is not in the field to make it a
money making venture, none of the
officers of the organization draw a sal
airy and on this account it is possible to
make the show a success without
charging it up to the public.
1t goes without saying that the
crowds will be large. The state leg
islature will be in its opening session
and a number of the representatives
and senators will break away long
enough to renew acquaintance with
some features of the old time barn
yard. Then in addition the presence
of the Stock Breeders association and
kindred organizations are scheduled
in an annual gathering during the
same period Of time so that there will
be sufficient Of outside talent not to
speak of citizens of the town who will
be attracted towards the show at the
Auditorium
