WANTS KANSAS TO HELP.
w. b. NeH Here to Urge Appropriation
for Seattle Exposition.

w B. Neff, of Seattle, who is in To-
peka trying to induce the Legislature To
make an appropriation of $4,000 for the
Kansas exhibit at the Alaska Yukon-
Pacific exposition to be held in Seattle
in 1909, thinks that the sentiment of
the Kansas legislature toward his pro-
feet is assuming a more friendly atti-
tude than at first. The bill carrying
the appropriation will be presented to
the senate as a ways and means COM
mittee bill. 1t will provide for the ap-
pointment of a committee of five, to be
appointed by the governor, to handle
the appropriation. These commission
ers would be paid a per diem salary of
probably SO each.
The bill may have some hard Shedding
in the house. where Cyrus Leland. the
chairman of the ways and means COM
rnittee, is opposed to the project.
Mr.. Neff is entrusted with the work
of securing a state appropriation from
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. He said
today:
governor Folk of Missouri and Gov
ernor Deneen of Illinois are each ready
to send a special message to the legis-
lature recommending the appropriation

TIE MEASLES PREVAIL.
Are Over 100 Cases TT Leavenworth-
Victims in Schools and Cars

Leavenworth. Kan. Feb 1S.-The
secretary of the board of health. DR..
]. F. Wallace. stated today that he
believed that there was no less than
100 cases of measles in the city at the
present time. His view of the extent
of the epidemic seems to be confirmed
by the opinions of the majority of
physicians.
Doctors say that every day last week
they saw persons on the street cars
and walking about On the streets who
had very pronounced cases of measles,
but that the eruption on their faces
was so light that they doubt whether
or net the persons themselves knew
the nature of their afT1iction.
In several of the city schools. 1T is
reported on good authority, several
pupils who have measles have been
attending regularly during the past
week and the teach ers and parents of
the children probably think them suf-
fering from some skin disease or rash.
