DR.. Samuel Weir. of the University
introduced the speaker. who Went
into his subject without much pre-
face. Mr.. Cannon's address dealt
with many things of interest and UNI
known to the general public, and
they came as a great revelation. Mr..
, Cannon at the close OF his lecture

CRISIS AT LINCOLN PARK.
This Year Has Been Very
Light.

The Downs Times says the Lin
coin Park chautauqua is up against
financial crisis. Rev. DR.. Blay-
ney has been platform manager OF
this years session and has lectured
on Bible themes in previous years,
The times says: "Unless plans now
on foot yield ready returns the as
sociation may decide to dose up
beautiful Lincoln park and go out
of business. For number of years
Lincoln Park Chautauqua has been
one of the leading educational in
stitutions in the state, and while II
has never yielded big dividends on
the money invested to the stock
holders, it has up to this time been
able to weather all financial storms
and the stockholders have continued
it from year to year, content merely
with sufficient remuneration to keep
it on a self-sustaining basis. But in
the last two years conditions have
changed. Last year was not a good
crop year, and money was not as
plenty as in former years. The ses-
sion last year was but fairly remun-
erative, but the directors decided to
continue, hoping for better things,
But this year has been worse than
last, not only here, but everywhere,
and many chautauquas have felt the
effects of it. Several have gone out
of business and others are hopeless
ly stranded on the financial rocks.
Last Sunday when the excursion
trains should have been loaded down
with people from the branches, they
came in almost empty, the people
for various causes failing to attend.
The Sunday befoFe no excursions
could be run on account of wash
outs. This leaves only next Sun
day to bring big crowd, and 1t is
hoped that the expectations will be
realized. At the meeting Monday
morning 1t was decided to place on
sale at once 1000 tickets at $3.50
each. If these can be sold by Oct.
1. the ehautauqua will continue,
otherwise, 1t is likely that the park
will be closed"

NEW LAW On RURIAL PERMiIs.
One Is Needed Before Funeral Can
Take Place.

The Salina Union thus explains
new phase OF the state law which
should be remembered:
Recent deaths occurring, wherein
one body is to be shipped into Salins
Friday, and one was shopped out to-
day, bring up a question Of the new
burial permit law.
The new law provides that there
can be no interment without a per-
init. The remains of Rev. Seamans
who died at jamestown, are to be
buried from the train Friday, and If
the register at jamestown should
overlook the little matter Of forward
ing q burial permit, there could be
no funeral until this matter was ad-
justed. This is something likely to
happen at any time, and there may
be delays arising from this source,
where bodies are shipped in from
other cities Of the state.
The permit must be issued by the
registering clerk in the city where
the death occurred, and the inter-
ment cannot be made in any other
city until that permit has been de-
livered to the registering clerk in
the city where the burial is to be.
The latter clerk must receive the
first permit, and then issue new
one, which will be delivered to the
and the cemetery asso-
citation, after which the funeral may
proceed.
However, the fact that the new
law makes the railroad company pri-
marily responsible in this matter,
may do away with much of this ex-
pected trouble. Under the new law
the railroad company is subject to
a fine of $50 If it accepts corpse
which is not accompanied by the
required burial permit. The rail-
road employ the best of legal talent
and it is believed they will see that
the permit is furnished before ac-
cepting for delivery any cadaver

NO POOL sELLING AT Fans.
State Law Makes II A Punishable
Offense.

! Selling pools on horse races al
county fairs in Kansas is violation
of the anti-gambling laws and pun
ishable by Imprisonment for one year
and fine of $1,000, according to
an opinion Of s. N, Hawkes., assist
ant attorney general, today, This
too In spite of the fact that legisla-
ture plainly intended to permit pool
selling at county fairs and the ex-
preston of the statute is SO ambig-
uous that Mr.. Hawkes. holds that
there can not be pool boxes at Kan
sas fairs without violation of the
law. The decision will be of wide
interest as the fair season is just
beginning and most of the county
seat towns in Kansas hold fairs with
race meets. At these fairs, or most
of them, there has in the past been
pool selling. At the big fairs at
Topeka Wichita ,and Hutchinson
there have always been betting rings
and plenty of betting. But it Is
likely to be different this year. The
matter came up on the request Of
the county attorney of Sherman coun-
ty for advice. A fair Is to be held
at Goodland and 1t was planned to
sell pools on the races. The county
attorney advised the fair directors
that pool selling would be legal
Afterward he wrote to the attorney
general for further advice. Here
is the advice he got from the at
torney generals office: "Yours OF
the 18th inst, is just received in
which you ask whether section 1856
of the general statutes OF 1903 will
authorize your county fair associa-
tion to allow pools to be made on
races to be run during the fair. If
you will read the section referred to
you will notice that 1t does not al
low bets or wagers to be recorded or
registered or pools to be sold upon
the result of any trial or contest OF
speed, skill or power Of man or beast
but clearly makes the same a mlsde-
meanor. The early part Of the sec
tion convinces me that 1t was the in
tention of those who drafted the sec
tion to allow the selling of pools and
making of bets upon horse races for
two weeks during races within the
inclosure of the race track, but the
legislature apparently did not agree
with those who drafted the act"

A Beautiful Farm Yard.

One OF the most beautiful yards
in the county and one which at
tracts much attention is on the farm
of ]. P. Cress, eight miles north Of
Abilene on the road west Of the
cemetery. The large yard is sodded
to blue grass and filled with ever
greens each trimmed into odd and
attractive shape. Some are like
fancy stands, some like jardlniers
and all are as perfect as II carved
out Of green wood. 1t is like for
NAL garden and has the appearance
Of a bit Of English landscape set
down in the midst Of the pralries.
