defeated George T. Anthony. a union SOL

must have received at least ten thousand
old soldier votes to do it.

the state board of agriculture appointed

ARBoR DAY APRIL s.
Governor Stubbs Issues an Original
Proclamation.

lamation designating April as Arbor
day. The governor has drawn from the
history of all the ages from the time
of the floods down to Appomattox for
proofs of the Importance of planting
trees. Governor Hoch's ,proclamations
were rich in metaphor. but tile following
occupies a place by Itself:
Executive Department.
ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
The genial days of spring call to our
memory again the duty we owe to that
ancient and useful friend of MANTLE
In all the ages of the world it has been
true to our interest and loyal. to our ser
coffins of our ancestors; tables for the
king and the cottager alike. 1t has given
comfort and shelter to the peasant and
the prince-to the pauper and the poten-
Trees are the royal family of the vege-
table kingdom. Neither the quarry nor
the mine has done more for civilization
can outIive or out-riva1 the usefulness of
the tree. 1t is more useful to civilization
than gold. 1t gives US food and fire and
shelter; it gives us books and newspapers
and greater variety of the necessities
and luxuries of life than any other article
of ancient or modern commerce.
Trees have always figures in our divine
religion Of man was born. Groves were
the first cathedrals of our race Birds
US the first idea of sacred music and the
choir. God planted them in Eden for the
SuStenance or our 1lrSI parents. from
their leaves were fashioned the first gar
ments that covered their nakedness. When
Gods displeasure threatened the extinc-
ton of our race Noah looked into the
forest and found there the means of saliva
ton. 1t was under the oak tree that
Jehovah conversed with great man in
Israel. 1t was in the tree tops that David
heard the voice of the Lord 1t was
among the palms of the Garden of
Gethsemane that Jesus spent the last
evening of his life. The battle for Ameri-
can freedom was consumated under the
apple tree of Appomattox.
For centuries, and until man came to
profit by its use nature denied the tree
to the greater part of Kansas. We are
now learning how It conserves the moiS-
ture in our soil, that it changes and modi-
flies our climate. that it gives beauty and
charm to our landscape. that it can solve
the problems of slides and drifts and
floods, that it influences our civilization
and adds materially to the wealth and
happiness Of the people.
Therefore L W. R. Stubbs, Governor
of the State of Kansas. in .accordance
with the custom of my Immediate prede-
cessors. and the delightful sentiment of
a better generation, do hereby ordain and
proclaim that FRIDAY, APRIL THE
EIGHTH, will be set apart and dedicated

FRESHIES CHAMPIONS.
Win Basketball Honors From WASH
burn Seniors.

The biggest crowd yet gathered in
Thomas Memorial gymnasium witness
ed the first annual exhibit of the de-
partment of physical education last
night. The first year of gymnasium
work at Washburn college closed with
the exhibition. Physical Director Fish
er had charge of the work and has
been assisted throughout the year by
Miss Winifred BOwerman.
The work done by the college people
was good. Drill work, parallel bar work
and tumbling by the men and marches
dances and Indian club work by the
girls made up the program. Mr. JON
athan Thomas who with his wife gave
the gymnasium to the college was the
guest of honor.
The Washburn freshmen are the
nolsiest people on College hill today.
In the most sensational game of the
interclaSS series the first year quintet
last night won the Stahl basketball cup
for the present year by defeating the
seniors 25-21. The game was rough
and failed to show the team work that
had been expected by the college fans.
Not more than three or four times dur
ing the game was there any evidence
of brilliant playing. The excitement,
however, was intense and the cheering
was so deafening that the referees
whistle could not be heard at times.
Glass spirit ran high and far the big
gest part of the crowd was for the
freshies.
The score at the end of the first half
was 1911 in favor of the seniors. The
game was won by the foul goal throw
ing of McNeish, who made 10 points by
his free throws. The lineup:

LITTLE HOPE FOR O'NEIL
Indications Are That He Must Be
Hanged.

Executive clemency for Charles ONeil.
under sentence to hang for the murder of
Minnie Barbeno, a French maid, upon
the Fort Leavenworth military reserva-
ton last fall, is not expected by u. s.
Marshal Mackey who returned to Topeka
today. Mr.. Mackey opened the bids and
talked to the bidders for the construction
of the gallows upon which to hang O'Neil
while in Leayenworth. The bids were all
too high, and are yet. for that matter,
according to Mr.. Mackey, but they have
been forwarded to Washington. Mr..
Mackey is going ahead with the prepera-
tons to hang O'Neil in the Leavenworth
county jail yard a week from Tuesday.
According to Mr.. Mackey, a commuta-
ton of sentence to life Imprisonment is
not expected because there is nothing in
the case to warrant it. The murder of
the French girl was prompted by jealousy
and every particle of testimony brought
out at the trial was against O'Neil and
brought him nearer the gallows
President Taft, from whom the COM
mutation. of sentence must come, is not
in Washington now and will not return
until Wednesday. O'NeiTs request and
that of his friends cannot be reached be-
fore Thursday, five days before the time
set for hanging.

"Vindication for Miss Tilford was
the only purpose of this suit" said her
attorneys in speaking of the verdict Sc
cured for libel by w. B. Kirkpatrick.
1.-THE amount of damages, 800. does
not figure. but the verdict itself has
won for her what she sought. Had
Mr.. Kirkpatrick the day she and her
father went to him at his office re-
tracted his libelous charges, this suit
would never have been instituted said
Capt. ]. G. Waters.
The verdict returned after IL hours
of elaboration marked the close of one
of the ablest tried law suits of the
Shawnee district court by a sextette
of its most able attorneys. Plaintiffs
counsel had pleaded with the jury ito
sting this man where he will feel it
in his pocket" and also asked it,
What can repay this girl for the loss
of her fair name? Will $1,000 pay
for that? Will $4,000, or will $4,000?
How can you repay her for that i'm
measurable loss ?''
The amount awarded seems to have
been the only stumbling block for the
jury and was reached only by COM
promise The answers to the special
questions, on the other hand, were
speedily made. In regard to the YER
dict for damages, counsel for the de-
PENDANT said upon hearing the YER
Motion for new trial will follow in
due course and if not granted the case
probably will be taken to the supreme
court.

PROPER METHOD OF PRUNING
To Get Best and Quickest Results Ap-
pie Tree Should Be Seven Years
Old Before Cut

The common method OF pruning ap-
pie trees is to thin out the top and
center OF the tree to let In the sun
shine and air. All the small feeble
looking limbs and fruit spurs are care
fully cut out OF the center until the
limbs left TO form the tree have for
the first three or four feet a clean,
bare, hoop-pole appearance, with no
bearing wood in the center of the
tree. writes ]. c. 3. Heaton. in Farm
ers' Review.
TO get the best and quickest results
an apple tree should have no pruning
until five TO seven years old, except
taking out sap-sprouts and cutting
back the long limbs to induce a short
stocky growth. At about the age Of
nve or seven years a thorough, sys-
tematic pruning should be given, cut
ting out only limbs three-fourths OF an
inch and up in diameter, leaving
enough of the larger limbs to form
the head or top of the tree. All small
