NICHOLS GIVES IT UP.
VIII Conform TO the Eight Hour Day
at Agricultural College.

E. R. Nichols, president of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. has
written a letter to the state labor de-
partment informing the officials that
the eight hour labor law of the state
will henceforth be observed at the
Agricultural college SO far as the day
labor at the college is concerned. This
is in accord with the recent ruling of
Attorney General Coleman.
The attorney general held that en-
ployes at the college who work on a
yearly salary basis can not be restrict
ed by the eight hour law, but that
those hired from day to day must COM
ply with the law. President Nichols
says that ne has not been aware of the
fact that the eight hour law applied to
any of the employes of the institution.

NEW FRENCH GUN.
Uncle Sans Experts Say 1t Is Not %
Good as Ours.

Washington, July 21.-A sample OF
the new French small arm. the i'm
proved Lebel rife, has been received
at the war department and is being
carefully examined by the experts.
The gun is about four inches longer
than the new American rife. slightly
smaller In calibre and a pound or two
heavier. but it does not appear that It
surpasses the American arm in range
accuracy or other valuable qualities.
The magazine extends in a line with
the barrel like an American snoring
rife and the gun uses no CLIPS: con-
sequently it is much slower to load
than our own gun. The center If
gravity is continually shifting with the
movement of the ammunition in the
magazine. and there is danger that

ploded by sharp blow of the stock
upon the ground, causing the pointed
bullet Of one shell to strike the
primer of the one above it, A oueerr

of aluminium, gives the French gun
a formidable appearance, but our
