Big Electric Railway Scheme.

Through a representative of a large
eastern electrical supply house who
is spending his vacation at his home
in Manhattan, it was learned that a
New York interurban company, back
ed by ample Kansas City capital, is
projecting big electric railway
scheme for northeastern and central
Kansas. The work of developing this
enterprise is already well advanced
The company not only has engineers
on the route, but is figuring on ma
terials for the line. According to best
adyices the line is to extend from
Kansas City westward taking in To-
peka, Manhattan, Junction City, Sa-
lima, Hutchinson, Wichita, Winfield,
Arkansas City, Wellington, thence
touching at several of the towns Of
the oil and gas district and from there
completing the loop back to Kansas
City. The total distance would be
about 800 miles. A schedule has been
proposed providing service every
hour. The company has negotiations
on to absorb several smaller local
companies along its route, such as the
local system of Manhattan, the juno
ton City, Fl. Riley line, and the line
connecting Arkansas City and Win
field. A company which proposes to
install a system at Chanute has re-
ceived an offer for its rights.

NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBIN
Come to Think of 1t, He Would Have

Position Indicated.

The family horse, who rejoiced in
the eminently proper equine name of
Dobbin, had earned a rest by long
service, and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
Ginning years in the broad pastures of
a farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-old.
viewed the passing of Dobbin with I'M
feigned sorrow. She sat for a long
time gazing disconsolately out of the
window. At last, after a deep sigh,
she turned with a more cheerful ex-
preston, and said:
did old Dobbin go on the choo-

sown with college seed wheat last fall.
A sample is taken from each field

crop has degenerated from type. The
department will keep on file records
of the farms on which this wheat is

J. w. Robson, was a man who had
taught the farmers of two states much

Prof w. H Johnson, the university
high school visitor, today las for
men, we could place several times as
many as go into the teaching profes-
sion nowadays. Every year we have
fewer and fewer men graduates who
want schools. Now, most of the men
who enter the teaching profession
take advanced work and become col
lege instructors and leave the high
school work entirely to the girls. All
but a few of the graduates of this
years class want to go into business
or some other line of work rather
than teach. The salaries paid to the
men graduates for teaching are really
good-much higher than they were a
few years ago, but they go into some
other work at a smaller salary rather
than teach. This year we are having
even more places than we have girl
teachers. The. schools of the state
are raising their standard all the time
and more and more want college train
ed teachers. A few years ago the
average graduate would have to take
a school at $50 month the first year
and was glad to get that. Now nearly

he rose to go, he stopped down and
kissed her.
