strike among the female clerks and
stenographers employed at the state
capitol. and that would tie up all the

Mice have never infested the state

Stubs was the author Of that law
and therefore Stubs IS to blame for
all the present troub1e. Stubs, with
all the malicious ingenuity born OF
long political experience, put into that
law q provision requiring that the
state board OF control keep on file in
it's office samples OF all the food sup
plies purchased for the use Of all the
state institutions
AS result OF this rule, there is one
room in the board OF control suite
which has been devoted to q sort of
grocery exhibit, consisting Of -four,
breakfast food, tapioca, sugar. hams,
canned goods, and everything else
that people are accused of eating This
room Is the general headquarters of
the legion Of mice which have moved
in and taken possession of the build

selves to this room, there might be no
objection TO their presence in the
state house The state officers realize
that mice must live, and they are will

them with means Of sustenance The
trouble is that the mice have imposed

ON WRONG SIDE OF TRACKS.
Mcfarland Wants Depot Where Peo-
pie Can Get at It.

Mcfarland, the little junction town
west Of Topeka on the Rock Island
has appealed to the state board of
railroad commissioners to cornpaI tn
Rock Island to put the depot at the
junction on the north side of its
tracks instead of the south side. The
contention IS that the town all lies on
the north side and that in order to get
TO the depot, the patrons of the road
have to cross over large number of
s1detracks and crawl under freight
trains and passenger coaches
The Rock Island holds that it
would have to rebuild its entire Nc
FarIaud yardage to make this change
and it refuses to go to that expense.
