Kentucky Patronage Is Ready
Now.

Kentucky patronage which has been
in allegiance for three months at the
request of Judge E. G. O'Rear. at one
time candidate for Governor of Ken
lucky, will be distributed as soon as
Congress meets.
Judge O'Rear wrote the President
shortly after his nomination for Cover
nor that it would be a good plan not to
distribute patronage until after the
election. Snme we're so unkind as to
intimate that the gubernatorial nomi.
nee thought he would be elected, and
the Offices.
the President for his views on the sub
ject and the Senator replied he had nc
objection, but he wanted to be put on
record in advance that the pie might
as well be sliced at once instead OF
waiting for the election. The Presi.
dent decided that he would make nc
more appointments until Congress
met.
Several important postoffices are t.
be distributed in the state, and the In
ternal Revenue Collectorships in the
Covlngton and Danville districts will.
come up for settlement.
The defeat of Judge O'Rear elimi.
mates him as a factor, the control OF
the patronage remaining in the hands
of Senator Bradley, Representative
Langley, of the Tenth District, anC
Representative Powers of the Elev.
enth, Collector Cooper. of the DanviIle
',srrict is slated for early removal.
T le hitch has been that Mr.. Powers
would not consent to the appointment
of a man unless he comes from the
Eleventh District.
1t is believed Senator Bradley has
consented to indose one of the Elev.
e 18th District candidates. MI. Powers
is expected to reciprocate by indorsing
the Bradley candidate for Collector of
the Covington district. The incum.
bent, M. H. Calvin. will have served
four years on February l.

INVENTED NEW APPARATUS.
X. q. Man Has Device for Recording
Progress of Runner.

Lawrence, Kan, March 3O.-Dr.
James Naismith, director of physical
education at the University of Kansas,
ha sinvented an apparatus which re-
cords the progress a, runner makes at
all the points of a race course. The
device has been installed on the in
door track in Robinson gymnasium and
found to work perfectly
The apparatus consists of small
bamboo sticks placed along the course
so as to divide the track into quarters.
The sticks project over the track and
are touched by the runner as he passes.
The bamboo is connected to a make
and break electrical machine, which
transmits the touch of the runner to a
kymograph which holds lampblacked
paper on which the marks are made in
succession. A clock is used in con-
nection with the kymograph.
by means of the DEVICE said Doc
tor Naismith, zone is enabled to tell
just where a man runs his best and at
what point he gets his second wind.
1 believe We shall find it of great value
in training"
Professor Dockery of the depart
ment of philosophy will also use the
machine for obtaining data on fatigue
for the benefit of his classes in psy-
chOlOgy.

KAFFIR CORN CARNIVAL.
EIDorado Planning for Big Time Thi'
Fall.

FAN.
ElDorado, Kan, March 30.-Butler
county will have a Kaff1r Corn Carni-
val this fall and it will be held in Ell
Dorado.
It will be the biggest, best and most
novel carnival ever held in the coun-
try.
This was decided at the retail mer-
chants meeting Monday night.
Corn carnivals, Indian corn carni-
walls, have moss on the north side of
them. Ordinary street fairs and car
nivals, like those held in Kansas City
or Wichita, are the same old thing
year after year.
But the Butler County Kaff1r Corn
Carnival will be a novelty. 1t will also
do more to advertise kafir corn and
Butler county than any other thing
possibly could do.
Butler county is the greatest kafhr
corn producing county. not only in the
state, but in the entire country
Last year 1900 0acres of kaffir corn
were planted and harvested in Butler
county.
This years there will be close to
$4,000 acres of kaffir corn planted in
Butler county.

forts made to locate the Whereabouts
of A. W. Croft, the Lawrence con-
tractor, who disappeared eleven days

there visiting relatives. The wife has
returned to Lawrence, however, and
has not heard from her husband since
she went to Oklahoma. H. H. Stude-

in the search for Croft When he left
here Croft took about $500 with him.

whenever they heard guards approach
ing, had been able to escape detection.
Two men had gained the outer corri-

were beaten back by Sheriff Paxson

their tunneling had revealed such a
rotten condition of the ironware that
