The editor is in receipt of an
invitation to attend the Annual Com
mencement of the University of
Maryland, Thursday afternoon, June
1. The commencement exercises
will be held at the Lyric. Among
the graduates from the Law De-
partment this year is Mr.. Hannibal
Hamlin Reid, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. c. Reid, of Reds Grove, this
county.
The many friends of Mr.. James
Norris, who was for a number of
years connected with the Hotel Dix
on, and who was well-known to the
hotel public as Jimmie will be
pleased to learn that it is reported
he has fallen heir to a legacy of
several thousand dollars. After leav-
ing Cambridge, Mr.. Norris went to
the Hotel Richardson, Dover, Del,
where he has since been employed.
Don't forget the sale of valuable
building lots at the Court House
door tomorrow afternoon, commence
ing at one o'clock, when Mr.. Jas.C.
Leonard will sell number of lots
that are desirably located. Persons
contemplating building within the
next few years will find it to their
advantage to purchase lots now,
while good locations may be secur-
ed, as later such opportunities may
not exist.
The tree war affecting the trees
on the sidewalks on High street,
from Church street to the river, has
been amicably adjusted, and there
will be no resort to the courts. The
attorneys of the friends of the
trees, comprising the entire residen-
tial population on the street, de-
cided to interpose no obstacle to
| the cutting down of the tree at the
corner of High street and Court
| Lane, which caused the commotlon
| last Wednesday, and the attorneys
of the Town Commissioner and the
| Street Improvement Commission
agreed that not another tree should
be touched without the written per-
mission OF the abutting owner. This
ended the difficulty, and all is now
serene.

William R. ShentOn.

Cambridge lost one of its best
known citizens when Justice of the

many acquaintances and friends. He
was for number of years Com
mander of one of the boats of the
Oyster Navy, and was sheriff of the
county. For the past ten or twelve
years he has been one of the JUS
tees of the Peace for Cambridge,
and his office during that time has
been a popular gathering place for
many persons, as he always enjoyed
having a crowd around, and with
his quaint and witty sayings, was
very entertaining.
He is survived by his wife, who
was Miss Mary e. Insley, a sister
of Messrs. l.. Asbury and Richard
H. Insley, of Wingate, and four chill.

BABIES SLAIN FOR INSURANCE.
So Declares Evangelist Representative
Who Would Regulate Insuring 4,
Practices.

The evangelist of the house, Rev
NJ. =. Williams of Logan county, has
prepared and introduced a bill pro
hibitlng the insurance of lives of ba-
bes aud children. The house killed a
bill permitting Kansas fraternal So
cieties from doing this, but foreign
companies operating in Kansas have
that right and the Williams bill is
calculated to cut them out. Rev. vii.
liams says he has known of many
cases where the lives of children were
insured and they were killed for the
insurance money by parents or guard
ians. lie says he also knows of many
other cases where he believes this to
have been true, but where it was not
proven. The bill prohibits the writing
of insurance policies on children I'M
der 16 years Of age. The bill applies
to all companies, fraternal aud benefit
societies, whether foreign or domestic.
The penalty is fine o. from $500 to
81 900.

SUFFRAGE UP TO THE PEOPLE
RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR POP.
ULAR VOTE ON PROPOSED
AMENDMENT UP TO
GOVERNOR.
Galleries Filled With Spectators-By
Proposed Measure Women Are
Allowed Full Rights of Bal
lot at All Elections.

Topeka, Kan-The senate passed
the bill putting the question of wo
man suffrage up to the voters of the
state. The measure passed was the
house resolution providing for al
amendment to the constitution and
popular vote to determine the matter
The bill was made an emergency
measure and considerable discussion
was created. Some slight amendments
were made to straighten out the legal
phraseology and the resolution was
adopted, q to IL, the necessary two
thirds majority.
The resolution as amended was
messaged back to the house, and that
body, by a vote of SO to 10, concurred
in the senate's amendments. Thus the
resolution needs only the, governors
signature to complete its legislative
history and place it before the people
for final decision at the next general
election. 81
The bill was made a special order
in the senate at 1890 in the morning.
Before 8 o'clock the women began
gathering in the senate chamber 10
watch proceedings. Some of them
found seats and patiently sat waiting
for the cricucal moment to arrive.
Others button-holed senators, supply
ing them with literature and urging
them to support the bill. 1t was no.
ticeable that several of the senators
sought the committee room, where be-
hind locked doors they awaited I'll,
sound of the gavel BY 10 o'clock the
senate Hobbies were filled.
The moment the bill was presented
Brewster offered an amendment pro
viding that the women's ballots have
printed on them the names of the
presidential electors. This was
adopted.
There followed a discussion as tc
the legality of the law. in which Judge
Price depressed to the extent of de
Tending the judiciary from recent at
lacks by the press and from the stump.
1t must be remembered that bill
and a constitutional amendment are
both required before Kansas women
can have equal rights. If the const
tutional amendment is submitted and
then adopted by the people, the women
can vote at all state, county, city,
bond or other special elections. They
now have the right to vote at city
and school elections. But if the
amendment is adopted the women
cannot vote for presidential electors.
If the bill, considered in the senate
becomes a law, the women at the next
election may vote for presidential cleo
tors at the same time as the men.

AIack! The Poor Bank Robber.

Senator Cembern of Neosho county
would not only send bank robbers to
prison for from 10 to so years, as was
provided by a bill passed by both
houses, but he would make them hard
to catch by offering a big reward. He
has introduced a bill in the senate au-
thorizing the state bank commissioner
20 offer reward of $1,000 for every
rank robher in this state, dead or
olive. Mr.. C2mhern, who is a banker,
believes this would tend to cut down

Granite Of the South.

When one speaks Of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet 1t must now be &C
knowledged to the credit OF the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities Of stone of good quality
which insures the south place IN
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about $3,5OO,OOO and the industry IL
growing 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about 100000 worth Of
stone annually.

Time for Stiffness.

Mrs. Mac Lachlan was kind to her
American boarder, but she did not pro-
pose to allow her to overstep the lin
its of boarder's privileges, and she
made 1t very clear,
One Sunday the boarder, returning
from walk, found the windows Of her
room, which she had left wide open,
tightly closed
ooh, Mrs. MacLachlan, I don't
like my room to get stuffy," she said
when she went downstairs again. 81

.'Pen" for Second offenders.

The first Republican platform
pledge to be redeemed, or partially re-
deemed, by the house was when the
committee of the whole recommended
for passage the bill making the second
violation of the prohibitory law pen
itentiary offense. The bill, as recon-
mended for passage, provides that the
second offense against the prohibitory
law be punishable by term in the
penitentiary at hard labor Of not less
than six months nor more than one
year.

All Fair Bills Up to House.

The house committees are going to
take no chances on the state fair
propositions. They are not going to
ce placed in a position where it might
be said they fixed the location of the
state fair if one, is located. There are
three state fair bills and the whole
bunch was dumped back upon the
house without recommendation The
committees want nothing to do with
the matter. In effect, it tells the
house to fight it out on the floor. The
three bills are from Topeka, Wichita
and Hutchinson.

Bad Check Bill Killed.

The senate killed the bill to punish
the drawing of fraudulent checks on
banks, the bill which was introduced
by the senate committee on banks and
banking. The bill provided penalty
of from one day in Jail or one dollar
fine to five years Imprisonment and
$4,000 fine. There was considerable
sentiment among the senators against
the bill. Some consider it too dras-
tic, others not drastic enough and
others thought it an unnecessary in.
cumbrance to the statute books.

1904 Bills In House Hopper.

When the time limit for the intro
duction of bills in the house arrived,
1904 had been introduced in that body,
almost as many as had been intro
duced last session, when the session
adjourned. From now on, appropria-
ton and committee bills may be in
troduced in the house and they will
probably run the total up near LOO.
The senate has not yet fixed a linil
for the introduction of bills, but it has
no such a grist of bills before it as
the house has.

Always Worrying.

The late John H. Barker Of Mich
igan City, who left fortune Of over
$SO,OOO,OOO to his 14-year-old daughter,
was strongly opposed to speculation.
do not speculate" Mr.. Barker once
said in an address to young men.
Spectators stand on shaky ground.
They know no peace"
Mr.. Barker smiled.
'1n fact" he said, "a Spectator is
always worrying about the money
market, while his wife is always wor-
rying about the market money"

Bank Robber Bill Passed.

The bank burglary bill has passed
the senate under an emergency. 1t
provides that any one who shall break
into building and attempt to open a
safe or vault by the use of explosive
shall, upon conviction, be sent to the
penitentiary for not less than ten nor
more than thirty years. The drasic
law is the result of the numerous bank
burglaries in Kansas during the past
three months.

After the Installment Houses.

D. j. Fair introduced in the house
a bill which limits the operation OF
loan sharks and installment houses,
which take assignments of wages and
keep bounding laboring men for
months. The same bill has been intro
duced in the Missouri senate by Sena-
tor C. NJ Casey. The loan sharks and
nstallment house people told Senator
Casey that his bill would not accom-
plish anything, AS they would move
across the river and could continue
their business from Kansas.

wnI AId weak School Districts.

The FEEDER bill providing for an APP
preparation of 100000 for the aid of
weak school districts and for a min
imum of seven months for every school
in the state, was reported faborably by
the house committee. Mr.. FEEDER. the
author Of the bill, is confident that it
will pass the house and is also con-
fident that IL it passes the house the
senate will pass it. This bill is one
in which the state superintendent of
public instruction is greatly inter
ested.
