Diamonds Lend. an
Air of Prosperity
to The Wearer.

Diamonds always have been and
always will be a good investment.
Diamonds on the hand are better
than money in the bank.
They indicate prosperity. They
afford untold pleasure. They at
tract individual attention.

acceptable gift than a splendid dia-
mond. Nothing could ever give
more returns on the investment
than the purchase of good diamond
No matter how little or how much
you wish TO spend, this store has
for your inspection complete stock
of good diamonds. We buy only
good diamonds. We buy diamonds
that you and we can both be proud
of.
We are willing to sell them at a
modest margin. Each diamond we
sell is guaranteed to be exactly
what we represent it to be. We
show diamonds both loose and
mounted; and we would very much

WOnans Club.

A. the call of the president a
special meeting Of the Woman's
Club was held Wednesday afternoon
May 10th in the parlors of the ElkS'
Hall. The subject of the May festi-
val for the entertainment of the
children was discussed and the
project abandoned on account of
the close of the public schools
coming at the time planned for this
entertainment. Two important
questions were placed before those
present to be answered, but neither
was settled at this meeting. The
first was that of a plan for work
next year. The other was that of a
place of meeting or home for the
Club. Although every member of
the club appreciates the kindness
and generosity of the lodge of Elks
in rendering the use of their parlors,
some of the members feel that in
having rooms of their own that
many things might be possible in
social way and some things done
for the moral welfare of the young
people of the city that are impossi-
BILE to achieve now. The matter
was finally left to the executive
board to decide. The idea of bend
ing the efforts of the club toward
securing a Carnegie library for the
city is still strong in the minds of
many of the club members. The
fact that the request Of the club
was denied once is no reason why a
second trial may not succeed. Men
as we'll as women, change their
minds-sometimes.
Mr.. j. E. Mercer was present and
in behalf of the First National Bank
offered the club $4,000 to be used
as prizes or in any way the club
desires to stimulate the idea of
civic cleanliness. The gift was very
much appreciated and the matter
was referred to the civic committee
to be used at their discretion.

Mr.. James Fort of Americas, Ga,

the Democrats hold the house. |
take a Republicans place, and they
seem to give up the places cheer
fully. / am delighted with the place
and have very little to do, only eat
and grow fat.
| find things somewhat different
here from what l expected. Living
is not as high as I thought. | get
good board right across from the
Washington Library for $500 per
month.
| find the weather here extremely
warm, the thermometer registering
SO yesterday; there has been no
rain here in some time, and found
it very dry all the way from Fitz-
gerald to Washington.
l find the city very interesting
and great many things of interest
to see, although | have not seen
much yet, as I have been busy get
ting my bearings so | could tell just
where l am.
There are some wonderful things
you come into Washington under
ground. There is an under pass
that runs right under the Capitol
and one that goes from the house
building to the Capitol and one to
the Senate building. Automobiles
are used in these passages which
we're made to protect the members
of the senate and congress from
the rains and cold weather while
going from one building to another.
Congress isn't doing much only
wrangling over the tariff question
and the Canadian reciprocity bill.

STUBS WOULD KNOW.
Asks Regents Whether Things Told of
X. u. Are True.

The Graduate Magazine, the organ
of the Alumni association oe the Uni
Versity of Kansas. in it's last issue Sc
verely criticised Governor Stubs and
the legislature for an alleged reduc-
ton in appropriations. The magazine
went on with a horrible tale of woe
about how the university electric wir-
ing was unsafe and could not be re-
ing and could not be saved and how
departments that needed extension
work would be crippled.
Governor Stubs did not ask the
magazine about the facts in the case.
He sent letter to the regents ask
ing about the facts as sfated in the
magazine and demanding an early and
straightforward reply from them. The
governor also inquired of the regents if
it was thoroughly understood that the
Kansas university belonged to the peo-
pie of Kansas and not to the alumni or
the professors and instructors. He also
indicated that whatever the people
representatives, the legislature saw fit
to do, that it was not the province of
any teachers or alumni or anyone else
to question the disposition of funds
for the institution. The governor said !:
THE magazine has taken some pains
to lay before alumni this month the
facts regarding the astonishing series
of legislative and executive acts by
which the work of the university for
the next biennium will be impaired.
Dangerous wiring. which has
caused two deaths in the past two
years and several fires, must be left
dangerous, sinking foundations must
be allowed to sink. Sewage disposal
and connections with new buildings
must be neglected and postponed. The
already diminished maintenance fund
must be robbed of still more to keep
the plant running. Departments that
need extension will be crippled. Dis
satisfaction with these conditions will
result in the loss of able teachers.
. II these prosperous days the
university has been set back $4,000
behind the preceding biennium. The
medical school has been ordered to
stand STILL
In the letter sent to the regents of
the institution yesterday, Governor
Stubs inquiries about the different
statements quoted above and asks for
accurate information. He says:
"Will you as the regents of the uni
versity be kind enough to advise me
il the wiring on the university grounds
is more dangerous than the electric
wiring in various cities throughout
Kansas. If so, who is responsible for
the inferior construction of an electric
plant at the university which endan-
gers human life? If the system of
wiring around the university is as safe
and we'll constructed as that of a city
plant. why is there more urgent need
or these wires being put into conduits
than in the city of Lawrence. EN-
poria, or any other city in Kansas?
Also please advise how many foun-
cations of buildings at the university
are IN sinking condition. Is it true
