The trustees of the c. ]. Devlin
estate have been authorized to sell

A Drama of EARLY Kansas.


A pageant reproduction of the his
tory of Kansas will be one of the
features of the semi-centennial cele-
bration in Topeka in 1911. Mrs. E. R.
Forter, sister of Representative Cal
derhead, and his private secretary,
is working out the details and will
be the author of the drama. The
spectacular part will be carried out
by G. w. Parker, whose carnival COM
panies have given him experiences in
this sort of production He promises
to reproduce the historic scenes in
manner that will be realistic and
make the show one of the prominent
features of the celebration Among
the scenes to be given, both by actors
and scenic production will be the
Quantrell raid, the meeting of the
first legislature, the striking Incl
dents in John Browns life, and other
affairs that were connected promin-
emily with the first decade 70 Kansas
history.

New Iberia, June -, 1906
Mr.. Editor-I see by yesterday ;
daily Leader that it has broken
out on a new turn and calls aloud
for sewerage, and seems to be
throwing all the blame of ali the
ills our citizens are suffering for
want of a good water supply, prop
err sewerage and drainage, on
the present and future Mayors
and counclmen of our city.
Now, in the first place, what
has been done by the city for its
relief in these matters?
A tax of 3 mills ha, been voted
to secure $50, 600 of bonds issued
or waterworks and electric light
plant.
; Over 5000 has been paid out
for boring for artesian water, and
considerable amount for other
purposes in addition to this.
Expensive sewers and canals
costing the city over 800, GOO
have been constructed in the
course of time, draining to the
bayou. This people changed it's
policy, voted special tax of )
mills, to cut a canal to the sea
This new canal, now beng
dredged, will cost another 100000.
1t is intended for both drainage
and navigation purposes, and will
give us easy access to Nermilion
Bay aud the Gulf of Mexico.
The Expense of several miles
Of concrete sidewalks, costing
many thousands of dollars Is
still fresh in the minds of our
people.
The city fathers have tbeeI
: liberal in appropriations for new
4 streets and street maintenance.
i The people of this city have
i just voted upon themselves sever
i ca mills in aid Of two railroac
Il cOmoanles seeking an entrance
Il to this town
II Much mote has been done il
II the development of both private
II and public interests-alI going
II to show that this people Is pro
II gressive and is doing all tina
II it reasonably can for the improv
II ment and development of the city
II Yet, a stranger, reading tina
II paper, would never know these
II things, and would imagine on
people were entirely devoid O
II of ambition and enterprise. This
is wrong and does them a grea
Il injustice.
Il If the city has not received al
Il the benefits reasonably expected
from past investments in public
works, it has been due to bat
management Of those works
II The waterwOrks and electri,
i lights were taken from control O
/ the Mayor and council and vested
| IN a board OF control. This, II,
doubt, was done under the belle
II that the board would make til,
plant self-supportirg. This ha'
not been the case, as that boart
has been calling on the city'l
/ treasury for assistance al! thu
Il time.
i They have proved a failure, ant
i the Mayor and council are not Il
/ be banned for not furnishing then
Il all the money they want.
i If tie council is to furnish the
money anu be responsible for the
II plants debts, the council should
/ have absolute control Of the whole
