The new law regarding spec
ial delivery letters is now in
force. You can use any kind
of stamps just so that you put
on ten cents extra, but if you
want the letter delivered by
messenger, it must have writ
ten on plainly Especial deliv-
cry" Until the people get ac-
customed to this fact, many
packages and letters that were
intended to have been sent
special, will not be sent, only
as regular mail. SO remember
that if you want it to go spec
ial delivery, write the words
plainly across the face of let
ters and in conspicuous place
on packages.

Our New Re6ents.

Gov. Hoch this week named the new
Regents for our State Normal Schools.
re-appointing Prof A. H. Bushev for
four years more, and naming Harry
Grass of Rush county, and editor M.
F. Aulrine of the Council Grove Cour-
ier to succeed Dodge and Ross.
Editor Amrine is alright and push
er and help build up the schools. The
selection of Harry Grass is splendid.
He lived here so long, was our County
Superintendent, knows the needs of
our School and western Kansas. Rush
county has well patronized our school
and his living there will help US still
more, as also in that tier of counties.
Our citizens unitedly approve of the
Governor selection.
For the State Agricultural College
he re-appointed j. o. Tulloss for four
more years and w. E. Blackburn of
Anthony, Harper county, and Edwin
Taylor, the noted farmer and Agricul-
turist of Wyandotte county, to succeed
Capt. Mcdowell and Fairchild. There
will be no politics in Taylor, but solid
farming and good stock, for he has
made that reputation in our state far
mer's meetings.
