at Armory hall in this city "Wednesday
afternoon. The Rev. H. o. Judd of the

In his remarks he said that simplicity,
g forgiving spirit. regular attendance at

were the four principal characteristics
of Governor Morrill,. The services were
without display and were short, as sug-
gested by Governor Morrill, in a writ
ten request made several years ago.
The knights Templar formed an es-
cort and the members of the G. A. r.

COL. HARRIS DECLINES.
VIII Not Serve as Regent of State
Agricultural College.

Still another appointee of Governor
Stubbs has declined to accept the Office
rendered him, the last one being Col.
w. A. Harris of Lawrence. who was ap-
pointed one of the regents Of the State
Agricultural college. This declinatfon
makes the third on this board alone and
leaves the personnel of the board where
it was in the beginning, as Arthur Cap
per of Topeka and w. M. Tod of Wa
baunsee county have both been report
ed as turning down their appointments
on this board. However. it is now sta
ted that Mr.. Capper has reconsidered
and may accept and that Mr.. Tod also
may yet take the place.
Lot RavenScraft, the we'll known
ranchman and Democrat of western
Kansas, has not yet accepted the place
offered him on the state tax commits
sion, and only after a long debate with
himself did T. B. Murdock accept the
place of fish and game warden, and
there are still other refusals among the
and also doubtful ones. 1t
does not look as though Governor
Stubbs was building up much of ma
chine through his appointments after
all
