Might Combine Great Schools.

Chancellor Frank Strong of the
University of Kansas believes that the
state is not using it's educational funds
to the best advantage so long as Kan
sas continues to maintain two schools
of engineering and fine arts, one at
the university in Lawrence and the
other at the agricultural college in
Manhattan. This, DR.. Strong says, is
not only expensive but unnecessary.
1t is in his biennial report to the
governor that Chancellor Strong viii
make his idea public concerning what
should be done to prevent duplication
in the two big state educational insti-
tutions-the university and agricul-
tural college. The report contains 49,

ways in the hands of competent en-

Railroads Win a Victory.

In their fight to prevent the Kansas
railroad commissioners from enforc-
ing an order reducing freight rates in
the state, the railroads have won a
victory in the findings of Judge q. T.
Hazen, special master, in the case
concerning the Leavenworth and To
peka line.
The railroad boards order reduces
rates about 20 per cent. The rail
roads contended they could not pay
expenses under this order, and got a
temporary restraining order from the
United States circuit court to prevent
its enforcement.
The case against the Leavenworth
and Topeka road was selected as a
test. The state showed the stock of
the Leavenworth and Topeka railway
as owned, 40 per cent by the Union
Pacific, and 81 per cent by the Santa
Fe, and contended that it should not
be considered as separate road. The
special master held that the road
should be considered by itself. 1t is
operated by the Santa Fe.
1t was brought out in the testimony
that it never does pay expenses, and
that its joint owners always have to
put up money to meet them.

VIII Test The Law.

Frank Arnold of Clark county has
filed a case in the supreme court
which will test the right of a cattle
man to ride upon freight train in
which he has one or more car loads of
cattle. Arnold shipped cattle from
Clark county over the Santa Fe and
following the custom he rode in the
caboose of the same train his car loads
of cattle were in. He was ordered off
the train by the brakeman and when
he refused to move was put off for
chilly. He was bruised up consider
ably and brought suit against the rail-
road company for $4,000. In the lower
court Arnold lost and he has appealed
the case to the supreme court in order
to test the matter and get final de-
cision.

This Applies to other Cries.

In the supreme court decision render
ed by Justice Mason he holds that Ex-
Chief of Police Stahl of Topeka is
liable for the full value of the intoxi-
eating liquors seized by him while per-
forming his duties as chief Of police
The case in point was that brought by
Charles NJ. Hines of Topeka for recov-
cry of the full value of the seized
goods. Seven other cases of similar
nature against Stahl are decided in the
same way. The decision affirms the
Judgment of Judge Dana Of the Shaw
nee district court. In his opinion JUS
tice Mason held that Intoxicating
liquor is not subject to seizure on exc
cution, because the same statute for
bids its sale except by certain per-
sons, for restricted purposes, and up
on affidavit of the buyer showing the
occasion of his purpose"

viii try and amend the prairie dog
law so as to make it compulsory to

THE law as it stands at the pres
ent time is optional, and some town
ship poisons the pests and the adjoin-
ing township doesn't. and the rodents
migrate to the open township and de-
stroy the growing crops. It seems to
me that in townships where dog towns
exist that road taxes should be work
ed out by men spreading poison In
stead of working on the roads"

ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM.
No Nights Rest for a Year and Limit
of His Endurance Seemed Near
Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

''NIy son Clyde was almost COM
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if
he got well he would be disf1gured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly year
that he slept. In the morning there
was 4 great change for the better. In
about six weeks he was perfectly well.

Joint Committee Will Investigate.

1t is expected that when Governor
Hoch returns from his trip through the
east he will again offer to appoint a
commission with Governor Haskell of
Oklahoma for the purpose of investi-
eating the charges made against the
officials of the Kanss penitentiary In
recent newspaper interviews by Kate
Barnard of Oklahoma.
Kate Barnard has charged that the
Oklahoma prisoners confined in the
Kansas penitentiary are subjected to
inhuman treatment; that hey are beat
en-, starved, placed in dungeons, hung
up by the thumbs and tortured in var
ious other ways. She made this same
sort of an attack last summer and at
that time Governor Hoch asked Cover
nor Haskell if he desired to have z
commission appointed for the purpose
of making an investigation. Now that
the charges have been repeated and
added to it is expected that Governor
Hoch will insist upon the appointment
of such a commission.

Can Save Much Money.

According to an estimate prepared
by State Printer McNeal, after an esx-
haustive investigation, the state of
Kansas can print its own textbooks
for use in the public schools of the
state for little more than half what
they now cost The total cost TO Kan
sas people for school books during the
past year was $477,342.
McNeal estimates that the Same
books could have been printed by the
state and delivered to the public at
a cost of 1858, 152.35, a saving of $224,-
1856.
