Will NOT TELL CRAvENs.
Does Not Know of His Identification
and Feels Safe.


Leavenworth, April Snow that
the man under the name of Charles
Maust, in the Missouri penitentiary has
been identified as Ben Cravens the of
f1cials who will demand him have no
little cause for worry, according to
Warden Codding.
Cravens is a desperate man and
either the state or federal authorities
are determined to make claim for him
when he is released from the Jeffer-
son City prison next November. The
state authorities are of the opinion
that their claim should come first for
he first became a fugitive when he es-
capped from Lansing The federal
authorities want Cravens for crimes
committed later.
According to Warden Codding It
will not be advisable to acquaint Cra-
vens with the fact of his Identification
for he says that the criminal now has
his last chance to escape. His record
at the Missouri prison is good. If he
should learn that the state and fed
eral authorities are waiting for his re-
lease he probably would take the most
desperate chances to escape. Cravens
is well aware of the fact that he would
not have another chance If turned
over to authorities who have been
searching diligently for him for years.
+'It is left to the Missouri prison Of
f1cials and they can acquaint Cravens
with his identification" Warden Cod
ding said, eff they want to have the
most desperate criminal of the coun-
try on their hands"

DoRNnToRIEs FOR GIRLS.
Lawrence People on Committee to
Rush Plan.

Lawrence, Kan. April 3.-Women
faculty members of the University of
Kansas and number of college
alumnae living in Lawrence have
started movement to provide private
dorimtories for girls attending Kansas
university. The failure of the state
legislature to appropriate money to
build g. girls dormitory is the direct
cause of the agitation. All interested
are members of the American Col
legiate Alumni association.
A committee has been appointed to
formulate plans. The members are;
Miss Evadne Laptad, Mrs. w. H. Car
ruth, Mrs. L. e. Sisson, Miss Eugene
Calico, Miss Fay Dodge, Miss Alberta
Corbin, Miss Agnes Thompson and
Mrs. T. H. Chalkey.
The members of the association de-
clare that they will place the dormi-
tories under university regulation,
making them a part of the school
Executive heads of the university are
said to favor the plan.

ABOUT SAINT FRANCIS.
Some OF the Trials and TribuIations OF
Cheyenne County Seat Town.

Saint Francis, April -3.-There is
always something going on here. 1t is
the terminus of the Beaver Valley
branch of the Burlington road from
Orleans, Neb., to Saint Francis, county
seat of Cheyenne county It was this
town that expected a sugar beet fac
tory, for which the people Of the town
and the farmers surrounding put up in
notes about $4,000, but 1t didn't ma
terialize, as the promoter of the en-
terprise proved himself to be a. CRATER
and the people found him out before
he got a dollar for his trouble. Some
day some capitalists may come in and
build and operate sugar beet plant
here. 1t is claimed there are about
$1,000 acres of beet lands tributary to
Saint Francis. The people stand ready
to help an enterprise of this kind
The late Senator Plumb visited
Cheyenne county in 1891. and adj
fair grounds in Saint Francis the
county fair being in progress. The
senator's visit here was for a double
purpose. He was the first United
States senator to visit the extreme
northwestern county in the state and
meet the people during the progress of
the Cheyenne county agricultural and
stock fair, besides the big irrigation
ditch, about forty miles long, was so
far completed that water was going to
be turned into the ditch that day, and
the hundreds of people, running into
the thousands, could see the ditch
filed with water. The crowd, includ-
ing Senator Plumb and State Journal
representative, stood upon the brink
of the ditch half a day until darkness
set in, but not a drop of water did
they see. Somehow, the big irrigation
ditch refused to work. The Lincoln,
Neb., Land company mad invested
about $4,000 in the enterprise.
Later on some water showed up in the
ditch, but not in sufficient quantity for
irrigation, and about this time there
sprang up bitter dissension between
Capt. A L. Emerson, the superinten-
dent of the construction of the ditch,
and the Burlington road and Lincoln
Land company, and the enterprise fell
through, together with the money the
company put into 1t.
There are several smaller irrigation
bitches, from four to six miles hong
close to Saint Francis, and they have
been paying investments. The big ditch
still stands and while capitalists may
come here and get hold of it, it is be-
Iieved the soil is such that the ditch
will have to be cemented before it will
hold water. The head gate is about %
miles from Saint Francis where feed
ers and Iaterals extend 10 and Is mikes
farther, making the ditch about A
miles in length.
The Cheyenne county fair in 1891
was a magnificent success. Senator
Plumb paid it a fine compliment. Sci

Washington, April "a feature of
Kansas interest in the shakeup in the
railway mail division of the postoffice
department is the transfer of Clyde M.
Reed of Kansas, from the position of
superintendent of the Cleveland, Ohio,

Cincinnati office is considered a much
more important post.
Mr.. Reed is well known throughout
Kansas, especially among the postal

Washington as superintendent Of rail-
way adjustments in the second assist

two years ago. Last December he was
transferred to the field again and made

STUDENTS DECLINE JOBS.
Going to Farm Instead of Teach Agri

Going to Farm Instead of Teach Agri-
culture.
Manhattan, Kan, April 3.-Kansas
has new problem: Where to get its
teachers of agriculture. One thing is
certain, at present, not one of the g.
800 students in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college is at all eager to take
that sort of a position. E. l. Holton,
professor of rural education, has, up
to today, 81 calls for teachers Of vo-
cational subjects. which means agri-
culture. This demand has been Great
ed by the law enacted by the last leg
islature making it necessary for teach
ers in the grade schools to take exam
nations in elementary agriculture.
These positions pay from $50 a
month to $1,000 year" said Profess
sor Holton, this morning. LAS chair
man of this committee 1 have inter-
viewed students until L am tired, but
have failed to get any of them inter-
ested in such work. The answer has
invariably been that they are going
back to the farm, to their own homes.
knew that at least rs per cent Of our
students were going back to their
homes, but I was not prepared for the
almost unanimous decision in that re-
spect."
In the last month eight or ten sal
aried positions as managers of farms
or in other lines of business outside of
Kansas have been offered to students in
the agricultural college and refused.
The interesting part of it is that while
the college teaches farm management
and so equips the boys to do exactly
the thing that would bring them sal
aries, the boys intend to use the know
ledge on their own farms or on the
farms of their parents. There is a
