Marion county, comprised more than
one-third of the area of the state of

west to the Colorado line. The school
population of this district during the
first term is not known, but it may
be conservative1y estimated at less

District No. 1 was built of cottonwood
logs, which the pioneers cut from the

Latest Kansas Events.
After a Fruit Tree Pest

The Kansas State chronological
commission, created at the last regular
session of the legislature, has decided
to devote the funds available for this
year to the destruction of insects in
furious to fruit and fruit trees. The
commission particularly desires to
know where the San Jose scale exists
in this state, and earnestly solicits ai6
in finding out the facts. The commits
sion says: The living scale is now
wintering on the bark as blacklist
round, fiat objects-mere points, just
visible to the naked eye. Where the
scale has been for some time, among
the young scales will be seen though
larger, hghter-colored parents, now
dead, that gave birth to the present
generation only last summer. Where
the scale has been for a still longer
time, the trace will probably be en-
crusted, looking scaly and ashy in
color, and in many parts showing none
of the green healthy bark. I San Jose
scale is not confined to apple and
peach trees, but attacks pear, plum
currant, gooseberry, and various orna-
mentals; in fact, all deciduous trees
and shrubs. San Jose scale can be
controlled, but the sooner you learn
of its presence the better will be your
chances for protecting your favorite
trees or your orchard. 1t will take
but little work to look over your trees
and shrubs and to send specimens OF
suspicious looking bark and twigs

neglect it? Place them in tight tin
box or can, and send by mail to either

and not only will you have satisfied
yourself regarding your own condition
but you will also be siding the state in
its fight against this foe. All material
sent will be determined promptly, and
all information will be regarded as

That decision of Lord Curzon, lately
viceroy of India, to enter the house of
lords because his physician says he
cannot stand the strenuous duties of
membership in the popular branch of
the British parliament is something
that cuts both ways. Interpreted in
the way which most will be inclined to
accept, it means that life in the lords
is easy" SO far as political effort is
concerned, and when a man goes there
it is rather for rest than for work 1t
Will not be remarkable if those who
are so strongly opposed to the main
tenance of the house of lords as a
legislative body and check upon the
house of commons shall find an eff
fective argument in this incident If
the upper house is so useless why toll
crate it? A good many Englishmen
will probably reason after that fash
ion.

Before the Central American confer
ence dissolved it added to its long list
of memora BILE achievements the adop-
ton of measure that, if carried into
effect, will do more, even, than the
arbitration agreements to insure peace
in the five republics. Revolutions are
the bane of those countries and they
are too often successful because they
are aided by citizens of an adjoining
republic Ambitious revolutionaries
who have failed are safe as soon as
they have passed into another coun-
try. The man who has succeeded in
overturning a government and has an
nounced himself as dictator or presi-
dent is Immediately recognized by the
governments of the neighboring states.
Now all this is to be changed Rev
olution is to be discouraged, and one
republic is not to be even neutral
when revolt breaks out in an ad-
joining country, but is to be actively
hostile No republic is to recognize
as president of another republic any
man who has not reached the position
by the ordinary method of a regular
election.

Women Spectators In Wall Street.

Women Spectators In Wall Street.
The number of women spectators IS
amazingly iarge-much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but it is a fact that many
brokerage bouses maintain private
rooms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-
frances There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women who
speculate do so secretly, without the
knowledge of their family, their rela-
dves or their friends. On this account
they desire privacy, desire to move
and have their Wall street being I'M
known. Another reason, says w. R.
Givens. in the World To-Day, is that
pally, be it confessed, because he is
anxious that if there be any scenes"
they shall be private ones, far from
the madding crowds ignoble strife
and sight. For truth compels the
statement that women are poorer los
ers than men. 1t is the testimony of
conservative brokers that woman
gambler is much more of a gambler
than man-much more, that is, in abb
sorbing tenaciousness and almost vim
dictiveness. She seems to be carried
out of and beyond herself to a degree
that becomes uncomfortably disquiet-
ing when she loses. Even when she is
a winner and, as L have said, the pro-
portion of winners to losers among
women is about one to twenty, there
' seems to be in her satisfaction a kind
of righteousness that is not good to
see

PURE FOOD.

this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into a form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) con-
tain Natures brain and nervebuilding
ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way we prepare the food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
-"The Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed
The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of the brain
''Of course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fluid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
phate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
THE ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative

| the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what

everywhere fully understand the part

There's a Reason"
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1908-02-22

One of the reasons why collecting"
appeals to so many persons, of such
different temperament and position, is
undoubtedly the element of chance in
ft-the possibility of coming unexpect-
eddy upon some great treasure The
matter is well illustrated by the story
of postage stamp which has just
been added to a famous western col
lection The stamp is what is known
as a 'postmaster's PROVISIONAL" and
was issued in Alexandria, Va, in 1S47
Three or four copies of the same
stamp, printed on buff paper, were al
ready known, but this one is printed
on blue, and is unique. The stamp was
on an old letter which had been pre-
served merely for family associations
The owner of it CHANGED to show it TO
New York collector, who was honest
enough to tell her that it was of con-
siderable value. Another collector, an
old friend of the family, offered 5000
for it; but the family lawyer sue
ceeded in selling it for $4,000. Pack
ages of old letters sometimes, although
not often, become magic purses.
