Obituary.

Virginia Francis Calvert passed
from earth into the great beyond
July %, 1909.
The deceased was the daughter
of G. A. and F. c. Calvert and was
born Nov. II, 1891, near to War
ren, Nc. Her age was II years, s
months, 5 days. Her father, a
brother and two sisters mourn for
her. Her mother had preceded the
daughter to better world Fannie
had been a patient sufferer and had
borne her sickness with resignation.
Consumption had marked her for
its victim and five months Of suf-
ferin9 were hers to endure until re-
lease came.
She expressed a desire to depart
and be at rest and be free from
pain, to be where pain and suffering
can never come. She had told her
father it was her purpose to unite
with the Christian church when she
became we'll enough. Il, feel it is
my duty and l intend to do that"
she said. Hers was a precious
character, to know her was to love
her, a great favorite with all, she
will be greatly missed by kindred
and friends. The home is lonely,
hearts are sad, a vacant chair is
there, yet may we not hope that
the separation shall be only for a
little while?
The funeral services were held at
Andrew Chapel, Rev. W. w
Laughlin conducting the service and
the remains were laid gently to
rest in the family cemetery near
the church.
The high esteem in which she
was held was atteSted by the large
congregation in attendance at the
funeral.
Deep heartfelt sympathy goes out
to the bereaved father, the brothel
and sisters of the departed one. Tn,
Lord heal their broken hearts.

CoLORS VIVID, MODES ODD
STRIKING CLOTHES THE RULE
IN LONDON THIS SPRING.

LONDON, May 12-This is spring OF
vivid colors-for Londoners, anyway. The
first warm weather brought out in park
and street SO bewildering an assortment
Of brilliant flower trimmed hats, such
an array Of gowns in new shades or
amazing combinations of old shades, that
poor Mother Nature is trying in vain to
compete.
Never have dresses and hats in London
been more bizarre than this season. The
clnging directoire frock is worn as much
as ever, and it's Persian trimmings, it's
mass of embroidery in delicate shades,
and, above all, the beehive hat. which
crowns the costume, have converted the
London woman into a walking rainbow.
Man Trying to Keep Up.
The London man is making a feeble
effort to keep up with her. Hei wearing
brilliant waistcoats and jaunty straw
hats with gay ribbon bands, but he is
strongly favoring iron gray for frock
coats, thus unselfshly setting of the
more vivid hues of his womenfolk.
The king has set the fashion for iron
and light gray, and to this he has added
another touch, which will not be SO
quickly adopted. His trousers are creased
on the sides. instead Of down the front. as
of old.
But IL the London woman's costume is
bizarre, what adjective can be used for
her latest modes of hairdressing? At a
theatrical first night this week the Golf
fures Of the women in the audience
caused far more sensation than the play
produced
A pretty American actress. who has
lived in London SO long that she is
claimed as English. came to the play in
clinging old rose directoire gown, with
an Overdress of gold net. Her hair was
drawn into q mass on the top of her head
and brushed absolutely straight and fiat
so that It had the effect Of skull cap
Trying Coiffure.
Around her temples was bound velvet
band some two inches deep, fastened
on either side with medallions in pale
green, with small Greek figures upon
them. The velvet band went round to
the back OF her head. keeping the hair
In place.
Not stray curl or wave relieved this
trying coiffure, which only very beau
tiful woman would have dared to at
tempt, and while 1t was interesting as an
effort to revive an ancient Greek style OF
hairdressing, it is not likely to be tried
by other women.
Another woman well known in society
sat in box, the observed of all OBJ
servers. She wore a pale blue directoire
gown. Her hair was done in the usual
puffs and curls, twisted around the front
of her coiffure, and under her chin was
Marie Louise blue scarf.
In an opposite box sat a woman who
wore on her head folds of flame color
silk. turbanwise, which allowed only a
small part of her black hair to be seen
and next her was a girl whose corn silk
hair was arranged in such mass OF
puffs as Greuze painted, with a blue rib
bon wound in and out among them, after
the fashion that artist loved.

Burglars Curious Mistake.

Reaching home she was astonished to

McCook was secretary Of the United

proceeds purchased a beautiful table

Waters Installed.

Alex Philip returned from his atten-
dance at the exercises at the Agricul-
tural College and reports an immense
crowd present and some grand adj
dresses by President Waters, Governor
| Stubs and others.
Governor Stubs spoke Of ''duty of
the State to higher education. He
said that every dollar appropriated by
! the legislature for state educational
institutions of Kansas returned 1000
per cent on the investment in improved
citizenship. He said that the state
educational institutions had not received
enough money to properly conduct
them until the advent of the last legis-
lature. Only two states have a lower
per cent of illiteracy than Kansas
Those who cry high taxes, be said
should visit these states, which range
forty-forth or forty-fifth in enlighten-
ment- Then, he said, they would find
no fault with the money Kansas is
spending to improve its citizenship,
The governor advocated giving the in
situations every dollar they needed.
The big audience noisily approved the
governors talk
President Waters in his address said
he believed in taking the college to the
people as well as bringing the people
to the college and that he is an ad-
vocate of farmers Institutes, conven-
lions, demonstration farms and instruc-
ton farms. He advocated the milling
of Kansas wheat in KaEsas. He said
little attention had been given to prob
lens other than production problems
and he believed there should be re
scar ch in the matter of agricultural
manufactures ard the development OF
factories near the source of production.
Speaking of the exodus from the
farm, President Waters said that he
thought improved farm houses, churches
schools and roo ds would do a great deal
to solve the problem. t'This tendency
cityward," said he, ''has been to a
great degree due to the half education
which has prevailed in the rural dis
tricIs and which has given the farm
boy glimpses of the more attractive
city life without teaching him at the
same time how he may attain such a
life at home"
The Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege will begin it's forty-seventh year
with an enrolment of about two thous-
and five hundred students.
The luncheon cooked and served by
the students of the Domestic Science
Department was thoroughly enjoyed
and appreciated by the visitors.

Bill Reeder and Cannon

Some of the republican papers that
don't want to be fair, and are talking
simply TO create sympathy for their
candidate, are scolding because Con-
gresham VIM. Reeder voted for Speak
er Cannon after he had said he was
opposed to him
Mr.. Reeder in his campaign two
years ago said he was opposed TO Can
non for speaker and would vote against
him. AND HE DID. He voted for
some man from Iowa. But Cannon re-
celved the majority vote of the Repub-
lican caucus. and as a Republican Mr.
Reeder then voted as q majority of his
party had decided. That was true
party business and should be commend
ed instead of denounced. Suppose af-
fer that caucus he had voted with Muir
dock and Badsen for the democratic
nominee and suppose enough other re-
publican congressman had so voted and
the democrat been elected. What
then? That democratic Speaker would
have named every chairman of commit
tees democrats. The majority of every
committee would have been Democrats
ard then where would President Taft
stood with his measures, where would
the republican party stood with it's
measures pledged in it's platform in
that Congress? Every party measure
promised in the platform would have
been killed or smothered in the COM
mittee. Then would the republicans of
Kansas have been satisfied? If Ham
had been elected would the 9th district
republicans been satisfied with that
kind of arrangement? Not much. Mr..
Reeder and the other Kansas Congress
men voted with their party as the ma
jority bad decided and republicanism
was on top. In their fight did Bristow
or Murdoch accomplish nything spec
tally for their party or help Taft and
Republican principals in Congress
Not much, for they were always voting
with the Democrats, Reeder and Cur
tbs with the Republicans.
No Republican is a republican who
votes with the democrats on party
measures, and the nominee of Repub-
lican caucus and the tariff are party
measures, and for that reason Reeder
may we'll say 'tThis howl about Can
nonism is fake. 4"
