KANSAS DAY WILL
BE A BIG EVENT

the government exhibit in the Alaska
building disproves this idea to the WON
der of the many visitors. Although the
land has not as yet been cultivated to
an extent permitting expectation of
food stuffs it is easily comprehended
from the displays that there are Won
derful undeveloped resources in the
country which are bound to take their
place in the commerce of the world
within a few years.
One feature of the northwest which
all JayhaWkers will enjoy is the warm
sunshine of the day followed by cool
evenings that make it pleasant for

the south and east There is fine sport
also to be had in the nearby streams

VIRGINIA "Dry" Election.

BRISTOL, Va, July S.-This city, or
the Virginia Tennessee line, is vastly
excited today by the most bitterly
contested local option election ever
held in the Old Dominion. Bristol is
now .adry'' and the election was called
as the result of petition of the "wets
who hope to establish saloons and Ii
quor houses for supplying eastern Ten
nessee, now dry as a bone under the
state prohibition law The temper
ance people are aroused by this project
and hundreds of women and children
are participating in a great demonstra-
ton today, calling upon the voters to
protect the honor of the town.

And now, in quarters supposed to be
inspired by the king, suggestions are
made that the treasures should be pre-
served for Belgium. 1t is limited that

The Khedive Ismail presented large
collection of Egyptian, antiquities to
King Leopold. King Leopold put them
in his stables. His grooms used the
collins of Egyptian queens as horse

The LAYMEN's MEETING.

The interdenominational laymen's
missionary meeting was held here FRI
day, Saturday and Sunday. The attend
ance upon these meetings was greatly
interfered with, owing to the Indictment
weather that prevailed.
The program as published in last

particular, except DR.. W. W. Pinson, of
Nashville, preached Sunday morning at
the Methodist church, instead of DR..
Bryan.

Chas. H. Pratt gave an address in place
of Col. Stubbs, who was absent.

the cause of missions.
The mass meeting Sunday afternoon
at the Methodist church was addressed
by Mr.. Pratt and Rev. R. W. Patton,
who were eloquent in their presentation
of the subject under discussion.
