PICTURES OF THE LEGISLATORS
Secretary Martin of Historical Society
Trying to Complete List.

The pictures of every member of
every Kansas legislature from 1868
down to date, with the exceptions OF
the sessions of 1876 and 1888, are on
exhibition at the rooms of the Kansas
State Historical society. and Secretary
George w. Martin is now making ef-
forts to find the missing pictures and
complete the set 1t seems to be a
little uncertain whether any group pic
lures of the 1875 and 1883 sessions
were made, but it is likely that such
pictures are in existence If they could
be located
The oldest and probably the most
valuable picture in the collection is that
of the free state legislature elected
October l. 1867. The legislature at
that time consisted of about fifty men,
and was divided into the council, which
corresponded to the senate, and the
house G.. W. Dietzler of Lawrence was
speaker of the house, and c. W. Bah
cock, also Of Lawrence, was president
of the council. Lawrence and Douglas
county was about the whole thing in
those days. They had the biggest dele
cations in all the legislatures, and
seems to have the smartest men in the
state, so far as politics are concerned
From 1857 down to 1868. there is a
gap in the historical society picture
collection, and it is doubtful whether
any pictures we're made of the mem
bers during that time. But in 1858 the
series begins, and continues without
break down to the present time, except
the sessions of 1875 and 1888.
AS time has gone on the legislative
pictures have increased in elegance and
beauty The recent legislative groups
are made of cabinet size photographs
mounted on a big card about I'VE feet

ture is then Fephotographed. and near

HELD A BOY PRISONER.
washburn Frat. Members Thought
Clinton Atwood Had stolen Records.

Clinton Atwood. a small boy living
in the vicinity of Washburn college,
was captured yesterday b ynenbers Of
the Delta Phi fraternity, who accuse
him of stealing about $50 worth of
photograph records from the parlor
of the fraternity house The wash
burn students who are members of the
fraternity locked the boy in room
and held him prisoner until he made
a partial confession, and told where
he had soaked" the records down
town for 15 cents.
This morning an elder brother of
the prisoner called at the fraternity
house, and shedding his coat and hat,
invited any or all members of the col
lege organization to come out and dis
cuss the imprisonment of the little
brother. The college boys refrained
from coming out

A number of lawyers were present

TRAINS RUN TOO CLOSE


According TO a prominent railroad
man, the demand upon engineers TO
maintain q fast schedule Is az the bot
tom OF the wreck Of the passenger
trains on the r., y. & w. railroad at
Eddington on Saturday and there may
be some action to have the railroad
give the men more time In which to
get over the road
Trains passing on the Pennsylvania
every few minutes Of the day are
forced to travel at times as fast as
seventy and seventy-hve miles an hour
TO keep even with their schedule. This
In time causes engineers TO become
slack IN obeying signals passing the

The engineers intend TO petition the
