cation of a memorial window to the
Jewish scholar, Rabbi Isaac NJ. Wise,
at Temple Keneseth Israel The win
dow was designed by Sir Moses
Ezekiel Oscar S. Straus. secretary of

pal address and declared that Isaac
Wise's influence upon American Juda-
ism was greater than that of any other
man.
Secretary Straus said:
Isaac NJ. Wise, derived his love for
republican institutions from his study
of the scriptures. His determined pur-
pose was in the words of DIR. Kraus-
kopff, one of his most brilliant and dis
tinguished disciples, ito educate a min
iStry for American needs-a ministry
not any less American, because Jewish
and. no less Jewish because American
To carry out this purpose he founded
the Hebrew union college at Cincin-
natl, to which he devoted nearly so
years of his life until its very close.
Addresses on the life and influence
of DR.. Wise We're made by DR.. Jacob
Schiff of New York and others.

ever, the increase is accounted for by
the fact that the agents of land COM
panies now go after a higher class of
business, those who are willing to pay
their fares to the new country and are
anxious for new homes When the in
discriminate use of passes was toler-
ated many would go just for the trip
andthe agents little carde whether they
were carrying bona fide homeseekers
or not.
Three special trains were used to
carry the homeseeking passengers this
week. The homeseekers come mainly
from Iowa and Illinois territory and
the country adjacent to these states.
One of the specials was run in the in
terestS of the Associated Land COM
pany, which conducts large colonial
tory. Another was under the direction
of the George Paul Land company, a
large real estate company dealing in
Texas lands which has HEADQUARTERS
which has several offices in Illinois and
Iowa was in charge of the other spe-
cial. Then in addition to these three
trains four extra sections of No. 5 were
run during the week, three through
Topeka and the other over the cutoff.
Fifty-two of the seventy extra cars
needed for the homeseekers went to
the Pecos Valley country, majority
of the passengers having Amarillo,
Washburn, Texico, Carlsbad and Ros-
we'll as their destinations.
Three carloads OF homeseekerS stop
ped off at Garden City and other west
ern Kansas points. There are extern
sive tracts along the Santa Fe in the
western part of the state which are
still subject to homesteading and
colonization. Nine cars went to Corpus
Christi and the country along the
south Texas coast Six cars went to
northern New Mexico via La Junta,
where the Campbell system of dry
farming is retaining some of the once
arid territory.

LOSE A LEGISLATOR.
At Same Time Allen County
Gains One.
The Pure Food Bill Has Easy
Sailing.

Two bills, one proposed by senator
Glenn, to reapportion the representa-
tive districts, and the other proposing
amendments to the existing pure 1000
law, prepared by the state board OF
health, were considered by the senate
in committee of the whole late Thurs
day afternoon.
There was but little debate on pro-
visions of the bill during the afternoon
session, with the exception of discus
sion of a motion to reconsider me &C
ton of the morning session, IN takIIlS
away one representative from BOURBON
county and giving it to Alien 1HlS
motion to reconsider was made py
Senator Anderson of Bourbon county
He declared that according to me
figures Allen county has only 1,l34
greater population than Bourbon
county and he argued that Bourbon
should not be deprived OF a representa-
tive in order to swell the representa-
ton from Allen.
Senator Travis. from Allen county,
retorted that not only was Allen coun-
tvs population nearly 1000 larger
than that of Bourbon, but the assess
ments in Allen county amounted 10
S2SOOO,OOO annually, while the assess
ments in Bourbon county amounted 10
about $14,000,000.
To this state ment Senator Hodges
took exceptions and drew the report
of the secretary of state on the senator
from Allen. which revealed that AIIeH
county's assessments amounted TO 81 l.
$4,000 and Bourbon countys assess
ments amounted to little over SZo'-
100000. He urged that it was not
question of property, however, but
question of population.
The motion to reconsider did not
find much favor and was lost py
vote of % to II.
The remainder of the bill was con-
sidered without any friction and at the
close Senator Glenn moved that lhe
bill he reported to the senate subject
to debate only in respect to the dis
tricts included in Shawnee county, ana
with the recommendation that the Dill
be passed.
the enacting clause of the bill and
Senator Hoffman's motion that the en-
tire bill be subject to general debate
were lost and the motion of the sena-
tor from Greeley was adopted.
AS the bill left the committee OF the
whole it provides for taking away one
representative each from Leaven-
worth, Jefferson, Brown, Usage,
Franklin and Bourbon counties and
Morton. Stanton. Greeley and Allen
counties
The Pure Food Bill.
There were scarcely any distractions
encountered in the consideration of the
pure food bill in the committee of the
whole. But a little more than half an
hour was taken up with debate on an
amendment by Senator Anderson that
the rules and regulations of the vari-
Gus state and county health officers for
carrying out the provisions of the act,
be published in the official county pa
pers as well as in the official state
paper. After more than half the sena-
tors had expressed their opinions on
the question the amendment was final
ly lost. This bill was also recommend
ed for passage by the committee of the
whole.

Another big rush of homeseekers to
western and southwestern parts of its
system is reported by the Santa Fe
this week. In all seventy extra cars
were used and nearly 5000 people are
spending the week searching for new
homes along the Santa Fe.
A remarkable feature of the home
seeker passenger business is the in
crease which has been noticed since
the favor of passes to immigrant
agents and managers of land COM
panies has been abolished through the
orders of the interstate commerce
commission. On first thought this
would seem to decrease the volume of
business, but the reverse is true How

official, that forty per cent of the
homeseekers eventually become resi-
dents of the Santa Fe territory to-
gether with their families. Taking
this as a basis probably 1880 of the
homeseekers taken west this week
will become residents of the western
portions of the Santa Fe territory
within a short time. The average
family consists of four members, so
that the results of this weeks business
will increase the population of this
territory by nearly five thousand
people.
The Santa Fe today ran a special
train through Topeka known as a
Gates special, which carried seven cars
of tourists, who are on a thirty days
trip through Old Mexico as far south
as the City of Mexico. w. J. Curtis,
travelling passenger agent and con-
ductor of excursions for the Santa Fe,
accompanied the train as far as the
Mexican border.

While the orders issued up to date

soon be issued, increasing the local
force and again making the Frisco

 Yesterday the president spent the day most pleasantly at Grand Canyon, leaving for Albuquerque last night. The presidential train passed through Flagstaff about 4 o'clock this morning. As it was known that the president wonld be in his berth at that hour, very few people were at the sta ton to see his train pass through.
 The people of Arizona have thoroughly enjoyed the visit of the chief executive of the nation, and tbe president has been brought more heartily in sympathy with our aspirations for statehood.
