There is much talk of organizing
Kansas Society of Washington. There
are but two objections, both good ones.
State societies generally comprise for
mer residents of the state in question.
In Washington no one is former
resident; he is "a legal resident or
"a bona fide resident" There is no
such thing as citizenship in District
Of Columbia; and so one holds his
legal residence somewhere, in some
state, no matter how long separated
from it. Then the trouble with most
state societies in Washington is that
there is no discrimination used in the
of the membership, and often
times they are used merely as political
organizations, for promotion purposes,
etc. Despite these objections, there is
some prospect of a Kansas Society of

Tn. Earth. Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on it's
axis once in each twenty-four hours.
But few, however, have any idea of the
high rate of speed at which such an
immense ball must turn in order to ac-
complish the feat of making one revo-
luton in day and night A graphic
idea Of the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may be
had by comparing it's speed to that of a
cannon ball fired from a modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocityscver
attained by such missile has been es-
timated at 1926 feet per second, which
is equal to mile in 8 Il seconds. The
earth. in making one complete revolu-
ton in the short space OF twenty-four
hours. must turn with velocity almost
exactly equal to that of the cannon
ball. In short. it's rate of speed at the
equator is exactly 1907 feet per second.
This is equal to II miles d minute.

There is man in Utah, John r. Will

most of the governors of the different

benefits thereof. He wrote to these
different governors, asking each one for
a piece of wood, of historical antece-
dents il possible, the same to be used in
the construction of table for the Use
Of the new governor of Utah in his off,

Snake Crop is LARGE.

The biggest snake killed in this Sec
ton this year was dispatched by har-
vest hands with pitchforks in the hay
field of Thomas Beaver, son of Gen.
James A. Beaver. It was a black
snake. 1t measured eleven feet and
was as thick as mans forearm. 1t
is thought to- have been the same big
snake which has been seen in that
section every year.
Snakes are more plentiful than they
have been in years. They cause camp
ers much annoyance. Jacob Shirk,
while in the Allegheny mountains yes
terday hunting his cattle, came upon
snakes and one copperhead. More
than twice as many got away. One
of the rattlesnakes had fourteen rat
den of snakes. He killed six rattle
ties and was nearly five feet long.
