busy at his Office. Captain Titus fig

The class of Journalism at Washburn
college will commence the daily "ses-
sions" this week This class turns out
some mighty good stuff as far as COL
lege Journalism is concerned. Profess
sor Leavitt is planning a series of lee
lures for the class.
Great interest is being taken in the
big banquet which is being planned
by the Bachelors club, just organized
at the third floor back of the Y. NJ.
G. A. building. 1t has now developed
that six of the fifteen men are engaged
and the rest of them are just as dam
gerous.
Chief Wilmarth is still looking for a
horse to be placed in service at the
new fire station on Seward avenue.
The chief has procured one horse, but
needs another. The station is in readi-
ness for occupation as soon as the
other horse can be purchased.
Treasurer Kelley. of the Topeka
Railway company. says that they will
not extend the lines to Shorey and
through Douthitt avenue unless the
city gives them a blanket franchise and
4 ree more wears of freedom. 1t will
now be seen whether the city council
is bluffed or not.
There has been a complaint sent tic
the city telling of the offgrade street
car tracks. Under the proposed Ordin-
ance drawn up but not presented some
time ago. this would have been a mis-
demeanor and the company would
have been liable. Now the city can do
nothing with the franchise.
Here is the way the Washburn Re
view hands 8 hot one to one of the
members of the faculty: Dean White
house sang a solo at vesper services
Sunday. He said he did 1t merely to
fill up space on the program. but we
believe he desired to show people how
talented he really was"
1t has developed that the fire at the
home of William Stewart, 40? Bos-
well avenue, only caused about $3.50
damage to the house. The story came
in to the State Journal while the house
was still burning and was gotten out
for the extra edition. The neighbors
thought that the home was ruined.
The breakdown of the engine on an
extra freight train on the Rock Island
between Maple Hill and Willard this
morning delayed No. 40 an hour, and
made No. "a several hours late. An
other engine was sent out to pull the
train into Willard. 1t broke down. No.
"a arrived at $50 o'clock this morning
and finally got both disabled engines
and the train on the Willard siding.
Miss Joyce Ballard, a cashier at the
Palace Clothing company, who rooms
at 1906 Kansas avenue, was taken sud-
denly i'll at her work about 1890
o'clock this morning. She was seized
with a fainting spell. The young
woman was taken to her room. Her
sickness is not regarded as serious. She
has been in the store for about five
months. Her home is in Kansas City.
There are lots of kinds of fame and
there are several varieties. 1t may be
great thing to be father of your
country but a saloon SmaSher in
Kansas leads them all. In the Gre
merle yesterday a man was wearing a
miniature Ratchet on his coat lapel.
Another man, well known in legal cir
cles, approached him and in all seri-
business. he said: What are you wear
ing Garry Nations emblem for?'
Washburns first intercollegiate de-
bate with Denver university will be
