WASHBURN'S OFFER.
Tenders Use Of Grounds and Buildings
For semicentenniaI.

Members of the board of trustees OF
Washburn college have rendered the
use of the Washburn college buildings
and campus for the use OF the Kansas
State Semicentennial exposition which
is to be held here in 1911.
A letter making this offer has been
sent by Norman Biass, president Of the
college to each of the members on the
committee OF organization for the ex-
position. This letter is as follows:
MY Dear SirEWhile realizing that
the question Is not up for immediate
settlement, wish, IN behalf Of the
board of trustees of Wash burn college,
to lay before you the proposition Of
placing at the disposal of the exposi-
ton company the Washburn college
buildings and grounds.
1.-THE campus comprises 100 acres of
land. More than sixty acres are COW
trees, while a large part Of the re-
mainder Is adorned with evergreens
here and there. It Is high, Is cool in
summer, and practically every acre is
available for building purposes. It has
perfect drainage, and artificial lakes
could easily be constructed. It would
AFFORD sufficient room for a compact
exposition. If deemed otherwise, adj
Joining tracts could be secured, while
the state fair grounds are near enough
desired. The spur of the railroad that
now reaches the fair grounds could
easily be extended to the campus.
There are twelve buildings, Including
machine shop and power house. This
number viii easily be increased to fifteen
before 1911. so that some 225, 900 square feet
of space could be placed at the disposal
Of the exposition The adornneuts OF the
buildings are such that they would add
greatly to the effectiveness OF the ex-
hibits. We would stand ready to entire
y vacate the plant for a period sufE1-
GENTLY extended to accommodate the
purposes of the exposition.
THE college is actuated primarily by
desire to further the interests of the ex-
in It's scope. This desire leads US to make
the following proposition, which IS more
liberal to the exposition than to the sol
1ege:
1.-THE Exposition company and the trus-
tees together are to determine the value
OF the profHered site, together with the es-
t1mated cost of reproducing the aecomo-
dations afforded by the college, and the
Exposition company Is to pay the college
a rental of oue-half the estimated amount
This amount might be paid in some such
way as this: one-sixth in improvements
upon the grounds, such as would have to
be made upon any tract selected; one
sixth in cash, to be paid from the gate
receipts at stated times; and four-stxths
in a permanent building or buildings as
a fine arts or q natural history museum
or both, which would be at the service OF
the general public as well as the college
for all time to come. The trustees would
regard the other half Of the estimated
value Of the site as the contribution of the
college to this educational project
This proposition has been formally
passed upon by the executive committees
Of the board of trustees. and meets with
their entire approval It is subject TO re-

The man recently returned from

what he had done she aroused some OF

Thinks other Candidates WIN Lose
TO Him.

Horace Keefer. the Populist nominee
for governor. passed through Topeka to-
day, returning from a campaign tour He
IS considerably Interested in the LonR-I.a
roulette affair Mr.. Keefer says:
There is more silence in the square
inch than in any campaign / have ever
seen OF course the hide-bound Repubn-
cans ana Democrats are where they al
ways are They have no arguments to
offer anyway now or any other time In
my judgment the secret Of the political
quiet is that there are fifty thousand ex-
PopuhstS OF Republican antecedents in
this state, most OF whom voted for Roose-
welt, who haven't quite made up their
minds how they will vote and won't until
they hear some argum ent that actually
appeal to them. Some Of them would vote
for Harris but they feel that when he was
chairman of the railroad committee in the
state senate he betrayed their interests
and got up a railroad bill that suited the
railroads too well Some Of them were
leaning towards HOch until senator Long
made his attack on Senator La Toilette,
but they naturally feel that whether La
Toilette is Republican or not, he is as
good a Republican as they are at least,
and that he. as much as any public man
IN the national life. represents a reason
able development Of their ideas OF Inn
proyement IN government. Now Senator
Long comes out and charges him with be-
ing & Populist as If It were a crime. If
that IS so these men feel that there are
fifty thousand criminals that are not good
enough to vote for Senator Longs cam
didate according TO Senator Longs opin-
ion. Naturally they hesitate about push
ing their services on Long and his friends.
II HOch don't want the La Toilette or
Populist vote In this state, al he has got
to DO, in my judgment. IS to let Senator
Long make one more attack upon Senatof
La Toilette. II Senator Long don't want
these votes as his speech indicates I know
OF q pretty good ECpul1sE candidate for
governor that viii be glad to receive them
and to be frank about II, think Long
has Just made me about twenty-five thou
sand votes"

 Upon the recommendation of the Court Judge Terry Richardson present. ed the Gafford case decision of the Su- preme Court and argued 1t as a par allel case which admitted as evidence all of a conversation as which a part had been previously testified to. The jury in the meanwhile had been sent out of the room.
 In substance the question was, Did you not tell MT. Grant you object ed to Ruckhalts's marriage to your sister because of the presence of a oer- tain yellow negro woman on the Buck halts's place and because the deceased was incurably ill?"
