Anheuser-Busch to Quit Kansas. -
1t has been decided by the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Company to with
draw from the state without con-
test. 1t was the intention of this con-
Germ to fight the action of the State
Supreme Court ousting it from doing
business, even to the extent of carry
ing the case to the United States SUI
preme Court. The Anheuser-Busch
Company had wholesale houses at
and Wichita. 1t is said
to have had property valued at
about 100000 in the state. In this
case the brewery receivers were al
lowed an aggregate of 1880 and the
costs are believed to be about $3.50,
bringing the total up to about $4,000.
The Anheuser-Busch people are
among the latest to quit the state in
obedience to the recent custer pro-
ceedings in the State Supreme
Court.
A Tip for the Young. - This is an
age of most wonderful opportunities
and possibilities for the young;
greater and more wonderful than any
gone before. In fact, opportunities
are well-nigh reaching out to seize
them, but the opportunity and the
seizure, If effective, must be met
half way. The seizure will be OF
hose with integrity, industry, clear
brains and clean minds; those not
ashamed or afraid to work with
head or hands more than eight hours
1 day, or twice eight hours if neces-
;ary, who can be trusted to do their
pest without watching, who always
give full measure, or more, without
he asking. On the other hand,
here is little of promise for the one
who studies least and strives little,
who is afraid of doing too much or
If working over time, for the youth
Who thinks it manly to be bar
Dom patron, to tax his brain for the
,oloring of a meerschaum pipe or
Who decorates his fingers with ci-
,arette stains, who gives his even
ngs to pool halls, or argues that the
world owes him living. Such as
hese may exist, but they will not be
living, in an age that, while having
much to give, will also demand much.
