an old friend, and has had her con-

With the opening of the ducking sea

PULP AND PAPER FREE.
Probable Result of Reciprocity Ar

Washington, Jan. 27.-Neither the
ways and means committee of the

Canadian reciprocity agreement.
The provisions affecting wood pulp

made from pulp wood cut on the pri-
vate lands, as distinguished from the
public or crown lands.
whenever any province of Canada
removes it's restrictions on the exporta-
lions of pulp wood cut on its crown
lands then the paper manufactured in
Canada from crown land pulp wood
will also come in free.

retains any restriction on the free ex-

Twenty-Six Japanese Anarchists Are
Sentenced Publicly.

Toxic, January 27.-Twenty-five men
and one woman, all Japanese an
archists, charged with plotting to
assassinate the mikado and crown
prince, have been publicly SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment after a
secret trial. 1t was at first reported
that "a of the prisoners had been SEN
fenced to death. Among theme were
two Japanese, Denjiro Kotoku and
wife. who once lived in America
The trial had been secret. but the
final dramatic scene was witnessed by
the diplomats and many promin ent
Japanese. When sentence had been
pronounced one of the doomed rose
and shouted 'Banzaii'' At this all the
prisoners sprang to their feet and Ko-
toku, raising his hands above his head,
cried, Long live anarchYi"
There was no further demonstra-
ton, and the prisoners turned quietly
to their guardians and were hand
cuffed and led away.

Publishers Pleased With Proposed
Reciprocity Arrangement.

New York, Jan. 27.-In the matter
of print paper and wood pulp pro-
visions of the reciprocity agreement,
John Norris, chairman of the commit
tee on paper of the American News
paper Publishers association, says the
clause of the proposed reciprocity ar
rangement with Canada is entirely
satisfactory and will provide for the
immediate entry of print paper and
wood pulp from Canada when made
from wood cut from private lands. If
ratified by congress and the Canadian
parliament the arrangement should
reduce print paper prices materially
and promptly.

WASTING THEIR TIME.
County Board Says Legislators

Slaughtered in Committee.

That the state legislature is allowing
opportunities to do some real good for
the state slip by in the farcicaI consid-
Grafton of such measures as the Cones
bills was the unanimous vote of the
Shawnee county commissioners in their
regular semi weekly meeting today.
The Shawnee board is "sore" and for a
reason. The bill providing an adequate
fund for building bridges was killed in
committee.

plant of Chairman Frank B. Simms.
Il concur in my opinion" added James
c. Sinner. Frankly, this board is
'sore'-and every other one in the state
is, too" said e. L. O'Neill.
This bill which was introduced in the
legislature and promptly killed was
drafted in a meeting of the Kansas
State County commissioners last fall.
They figured they would be unable to
keep the bridges in repair, or, as a
matter of fact, have any bridges other
than those standing with less than
100000 fund subject to the use of the
commissioners. The present amount
which the commissioners may spend on

Vpitifully small. 1t is impossible in some
instances to replace a lost span with
that amount. For the smaller creeks,
that is all very well but they could
have been forded. In Shawnee county
there is no means to replace the Grant
vile and brick plant bridges nor COM
plete the Silver Lake-Valencia bridge.
The Melan bridge at Topeka was the
only river crossing left by the sue
cession of floods, and for time was
the only point in the county where
crossing could be made.
Then by Shawnee and Wabaunsee
counties pooling their limit of $4,000
each, contractor was found who
would replace the two spans of the
Maple Hill bridge.
Work has been in progress on the
Silver Lake-Valencia bridge repairs.
The false work at a cost of $2,400 is
ready for the steel. A plank flooring
has been strung on the piers and
teams have been making the crossing.
I'VE have been telling the farmers
that this legislature would certainly
give us power to build these bridges,
and we went ahead as far as we could
with this bridge. Now. however, the
bill has been knocked in the head to
waste time with some fool measures,
and we will lose that $4,000 just as
