THE STATE NORMAL.
At Emporia Acquires Valuable Esk-
ridge Property.

Emporia. June 1O.-The Eskridge
property, on East Twelfth avenue, has
been procured by the state for the
State Normal school. For more than
a year there has been talk of pur-

original Eskridge homestead of nine
teen and one-half acres, less tracts pre-
viously sold, and the family home built
in 1878. The house cost $4,000 and its
construction is especially adapted TO
the use to which it is to be put, that of
piano and violin rooms for the music de-
partment Eventually it will form part
of a permanent building to be erected.

by H ". Flick, who was at that time
a business partner of Governor Esk-
ridge Mrs. Mary Eskridge, widow of

property this month and go to Los An
