NOW THEY'RE REAL AMERICANS
County Treasurer Medlicott Gets His
Final Papers.

Three Topeka men have received their
final papers and been admitted to eiti-
zenship. Only few people in this
town know that Roland Medlicott was
not full-fedged citizen. 1t was gen
orally known that he was born in Lis
bon, Portugal, but no one ever thought
of him as Portuguese. He isn,t-now.
Likewise Robert Frederick Tasker,
soldier in several wars. who was either
the third or fourth man to shove a
United States musket over the walls
of Pekin- Although he fought little
brown brothers in the Philippines, and
shot United States anlmunition into the
skins of little yellow brothers in the
Chinese campaign. he was a Hinglish-
man-until now.
The third of the local citizens to re-
ceive the degree of American citizen
ship, was Henry Ward Thomas. an
Engishman by birth, but a good Amer
lean by nature.

BUILT LIBERTY BELL.
Impressive Ceremony to Celebrate
Flag Day at the ElINs.

The Flag day service at the Elks
club last night were open to the pub
lie and the great hall, decorated with
flags for the occasion was well filed
with an appreciative audience. Stein
berg's orchestra furnished the music
and played a number of patriotic
selections.
OF that part of the ritual made
public the more imposing was the
building of a huge liberty bell by the
esquire and officers. With a great
base of red roses to symbolic
courage, loyalty and devotion the bell
was begun; a center section of white
lilies was the emblem of virtue,
charity, truth; and a mass of violets
completed the bell to signify the blue
of Justice, brotherly love. and
fidelity while a bar of the thirteen
stripes capped the red, white and
blue emblem of liberty as eleven
bells rang for absent brother Elks.
After the record of the flag had
been read by Joseph E. Morgan Civ

HAS WONDERFUL GROWTH.
Many New Buildings and Departments
Have Been Added to x. S. A. C.

Manhattan, Kan, June 15.-The
enormous growth which the Kansas
State Agricultural college has made
during the past few years is gradually
being felt throughout the state. The
commencement exercises held this
week at the college will see people
from every corner of Kansas as we'll
as alumni from far and near, coming
to see the educational advantages held
out to Kansas people.
The advancement of the K. S. A. c.
is perhaps more marked during the
year just passed than ever before.
During that time two large buildings
have been added to the structures al
ready crowding the hill northwest of
Manhattan. These are the new do
nestle science hall and the veterinary
building. The shops have been en-
larged and rearranged to accOmmo-
date the young people seeking train
ing of the hand as we'll of the mind.
The forge room which last year con-
tanned but twenty FORCES, can now en-
terrain forty students at one time.
Something like the same relative
growth has taken place in many OF
the other departments
The engineering hall is now pro-
crossing toward completion Work
was resumed last week by Henry Ben
nett of Topeka and when completed
by January L. 1910. it will be the
largest building of the group. Much
delay was occasioned by the fallure OF
the Blanchard CONSTRUCTION company
to carry on the contract. The engl-
neering building including equipment
will be $4,000.
The teaching force now number III
Expansion and development is in the
atmosphere More land for the work
along experimental lines has been
added, and the college is rapidly as
suming the proportions it should nave
relative to the people of Kansas.
This year the attendance has been
2,306 ambitious young minds, demo
cratic in spirit, and anxious for
growth. One-third of this number are
young women. whose work in domes-
tic science and art can not help out
raise the future rulers of the state
several notches in many ways. In
spite of some antagonism from few
quarters it must be recognized as
fact that the X S. A. G. is gaining a
foothold with the people OF Kansas
that can not be lost so long as prac-

CAR LOAD OF ALIdGAToRs.
Largest Consignment Ever Shipped
Leaves New Orleans.

New Orleans, June 15.-What is
said to be the largest consignment of
alligators ever shipped over a rail-
road left New Orleans last night for
Los Angeles. There was a full car
load of the reptiles. comfortably en-
sconsed in large vessels partly filled
with water.
The rate on the shipment proved a
tangled problem for the railroad
officials. A diligent search failed to
find the word "alligators'' in any of
the tariff books and 1T was finally de-
cided to apply the rate on animals
not otherwise specified
The freight charges amounted
to 5000.
