SUMMER DOINGs AT X. S. A.C.
A Busy Vacation at the College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.

Manhattan, Aug. 12.-Never before
has the summer vacation been so
strenuous about the Agricultural col
lege. Notwithstanding the two new
buildings to be occupied this fall the
attendance of students Will make it
necessary to crowd the halls, almost.
The new domestic science and art
building is almost ready for new fur
niture, carpenters and painters just
putting on the finishing touches. 1t
will be a beauty" indeed; and it will
be the largest building on the
grounds. 176x92 feet and three full
stories. containing about fifty rooms.
1t is wonderfully complete with its
two large kitchens and four or five
large laboratories and then a dozen
small kitchens each for class of
four. Then the third floor is all for
domestic art with sewing. cutting,
drawing rooms. etc, with fine exhibit
ton room, south and east exposures
all windows.
One the extreme north end of the
campus is the new veterinary building
with decidedly the most ornate ex-
terror of any of the seventeen big
buildings. DIR. Schoenleber planned
every nook and corner and it will be
a model veterinary building with
splendidly lighted laboratories and a
semi-circular room for a clinic. 1t
also has three full stories. every foot
available for use. Here the work is
not quite so far advanced, but plaS-
terers, and painters are crowding each
other. When September 16 comes,
the most of the buildings will be ready
for classes.
Then there is small army of work
| men tearing down and building up
and excavating about the old
| mechanic arts building. Additions
are being built to the iron and brass
| foundries, to the carpenter and pat
| tern shops and the new mechanical
| engineering building excavation is now
| being made. This extends south from
! the present shops and boiler house,
| $50 feet. When this is completed the
| entire engineering building and shops
will cover an irregular rectangle OF
about $50 feet by 500 feet.
Over at the creamery an artificial
| ice plant is being installed and an
| other new churn is being put in place
for making butter.
| The old domestic science building is
| being remodeled for the printing de-
| partment. partitions being changed
and new coment floor for the base
ment-where all the presses will be
| installed. This will give the printing
department a home of its own.
| The old chapel in Anderson hall is
\ being changed, a floor being built olI
| even with the old gallery or secon.
| story floor and then a partition above

| long working rooms for his classes in
architecture, the lower floor being

DIFFERENTIAL sQUABBLE.
wabash Kansas City-Nevv York Pas'
senger Rate Starts Trouble.

Chicago. Aug. 12.-Trouble which
threatens a passenger rate val ~
western territory has been started
over a differential passenger rate from
kansas CITY to New York. A confer
ence of the executive passenger ofnciais
of western roads has been called 1or
Wednesday to consider the matter.
The officials of the Wabash insist that
they should be allowed to charge
1850 from Kansas City to New YORK
as against $2S.s0, the standard fare.
The differential is one which was ac-
corded several years ago from Kansas
CITY on through business to the sea-
hoard. The wabash put on through
train between Kansas City and Bunalo,
known as No. s. running from Buffalo
to New York over the LackaWanna.
At that time a differentfal was cialmed
and D. B. Martin of the Baltimore q
ohio was finally chosen arbitrator IN
the case. The Wabash subsequently
took off that train and now has put
new train into service on slower sched-
ME known al train No. %, and claims
a differential for it. The competing
roads declare that IL a lower rate Is
charged by the Wabash they VIII
meet it. -.
western roads do not admit the diff
ferential principle in their territory
and insist upon equal. rates. The diff
ferentials which are allowed from
western territory apply on through
business to the east seaboard. the diff
ferential fare being that which applies
to the differential roads east OF chi
cagO.

Miss France passed through the Usual

weeks work she complained to the

would not be so after she had become
accustomed to the work, the other
girls telling her that they had had the
same trouble when they first COM
menced work. She worked steadily
until about a week ago. when her ear
began to swell and panied her so much
that she was compelled to give up the
work.
Instead of becoming better it be-
came worse and more painful, the

STORM AT FORT RILEY.
General Kerr's Tent Hit by Lightning
and Many Others Blown Down.

Junction City. Aug. 1.-THE camp
OF instruction at Fort Riley was
drenched with rain last evening. From
one end of the camp to the other
everything is wet. During the storm
that came up about Z o'clock many
tents were blown down in the camp
and a flood Of water came down
from the hills to the north of the
camp and there was a stream between
every row of tents in the two miles
of camp along the Kaw river on Paw
nee Flats east of Fort Riley. The
Kansas troops Jared better than did
the rest of the troops. They were
closer to the hills and on a sleeper
slope than the regulars with the re-
suit that the water ran off as fast as
it fell in their camp. In some of the
infantry and artillery camps the water
was ankle deep.
The headquarters of Brigadier
General John B. Kerr, commanding
the camp of instruction and the
maneuvers was struck by lightning
Several men were knocked down and
one was badly burned. In the days
maneuvers the regular troops had
the problem Of formation in attack
and defense and maneuvers in
battalion and squadron formation.
The Kansas troops for the most part
put in nearly all of their time getting
settled in camp. Their work as far
as the camp instruction is concerned
was confined to drill by companies
The maneuvers of the regular
troops today continues in the forma-
ton for attack and defense the same
problem that has taken up the first
two days of the maneuvers, but the
problem will be worked out by regi-
ments The work of the Kansas
national guards will continue in the

more improvements OF more or less
extensive nature, than ever before.
Before the first of next year we
will have laid 800 miles of new and
heavy steel at various points along our
line" he said. among the most ex-
tensive improvements will be the new
shops and roundhouse at Argentine
and Chanute. The erection of the steel
frame for the new Argentine machine
shop was begun today and work will
soon begin on the Chanute improve
ments. The Argentine shops will be
one story and will cost about $4,000.
The old shops burned about a year
ago, and since then the machine work
has been done in a temporary build
ing. the financial situation having
been such that we did not feel en-
couraged in going ahead with the
work until times were better.
Besides all this, we have in course
of construction 100000, OOO-gallon
reservoir at Richmond. Kan. and that
will soon be finished. Even now we
are changing the line and completing
a grade reduction at Hilton, Col.
which is in itself, an enormous pro-
ject. We are also erecting new depots
in Oklahoma and Texas. the most inn
portant ones being at Woodward, OK
and at Canadian and Hereford, Tex.
Another important work which Is
now being finished up is the reha bill

Cottonwood Falls. Aug. 1.-THE
person who raised the first alfalfa in
Kansas is ]. r. Blackshire. and prior
to his death he lived at Elmdale in
this county.
According to p. G. Jeffrey, the first
alfalfa seed to be brought to Kansas
was in 1875 by j. r. Blackshire, who
owned and lived on the Glover Cliff
ranch. Claims that were made for
the late Harrison Parkman, former
owner of Sunny Slope farm near EN-
poria will have to give precedence in
favor of Mr.. Blackshire, who purchas-
ed and introduced the first alfalfa
seed seven years prior to the ship
ment brought to sunny Slope by Mr..
Parkman. Mr.. Blackshire secured
his seed in San Francisco through the
firm Of ]. NJ. Griffith & Bro. of
Emporia who at that time we're in
the hardware and implement business.
The first purchase made amounted to
one bushel and a half and the bill
which Griffith & Bro, presented
and which is still preserved in the
family of Mr.. Berkshire gives the cost
at s32.25. The bill states, 81 u BUSH
els alfalfa clover seed
In 1882 the Glover Cliff ranch could
boast of quite an acreage of the new
forage plant. The planting of it and
the subsequent increase of this acre
age attracted considerable attention
among the farmers of that portion of
the state. Alfalfa has always been
one OF the most important crops to be
raised on Glover Cliff ranch and at
present 1900 acres are devoted to al
falfa alone.
Glover Cliff ranch still remains in
the possession of the Blackshire fam
lily and is one of the most noted of the
central Kansas ranches.

She with three or four other little
