The FIRST yearly report Of the Kan
sas Live Stock Registry Board was
issued February 10 from the depart
ment Of printing at the State Agri-
cultural college. It contains more
than 800 pages. The report is given
up wholly to horses--stallions chief
ly. 1t emphasizes the Importance OF
good breeding, Fake pedigrees are
exposed literally. The introduction
says;
While horse breeding In Kansas has
for years been making some progress,
It is a noticeable fact that It mas not
kept pace with the progress made IN
other lines Of agricultural pursuits.
Close observation and study showed
that the greatest obstacle to a more
rapid progress in the horse breeding
industry was the common use OF the
grade sire, the unsourd sire, and tine
pure-bred Of an inferior kind. This
use OF inferior sires resulted from
various causes, the more important
of which are: First, carelessness,
lack Of interest and lack Of appreci'
alton of the value Of purity Of breed
ing Of the slres on the part OF the
mare owners; second, tendency on
the part Of great many stallion own
ers to get horse for as small an In
vestment as possible regardless4Of his
breeding or individuality, knowing
that they could expect liberal pat
ronage from the mare owners.
To encourage the use and appreci
alton of the pure-bred sire, and to
guarantee the breeding Of every stai
lion standing for public service in the
State, the sixteenth biennial session
of the Kansas legislature passed what
is known as the Stallion Registration
Law.
This law requires every person own
ing a stallion to register the anima
with the Registry Board. This boart
is made up Of the dean Of agriculture
the head Of the Veterinary Depart
ment and the head Of the Animal Hus
bandry Department Of the Agricul
tural college at Manhattan. Th'
board Issues a certificate Of such en-
rollment. A fee Of 81 must be paid
the board for investigating the pedi
gree and issuing the license. Veteri
nary inspection costs 81 more. To VIC
late the stallion law may mean a fine
Of $40 to $50 for each oifense.
If the Kansas horsemen hope t
improve the horses Of Kansas, the
first and most important thing they
must do is to use more care and judg
ment in selecting the sires o. the fu'

absence has caused me great deal
OF worry. Honestly, iall during my
talk last right / was afraid was
going to. whistle. went up to my
room before the lectnne and talked
for two hours to see II could possi-

Mr.. Manship pleased his audience.
His subject was Lights and shad-
ows Of Slavery Days" He did not
deal strongly on HIS subject but his
number advertised as an evening
OF entertainment was well liked
This number concluded the series
OF eight entertainments OF the lee
ture course for this winter. Fhe
season has been snceesufui in the
class Of entertainment furnished as
wen as financially. The expendi-
lures for the season amounted to
1890 and there is a surplus in the
treasury Of $3.50 at present Last
year the lecture course netted 3140,l
but the entertainments were not 30
expensive az those furnished this
season.
The new method Of securing tick

much favor. I'VE have had several
complaints" said Rev. W. c. Coleman

everybody has seemed satisfied. We

The above letter is the first def
mite information Abilene has had re-
garding the status of Abilene's pub
lie building. The building was
authorized a year ago but in the
last week of the session the appro-
priation tfll was pared down and
about 25 towns were left without
money. Now 1t appears that 1t is
simply "on the list" and when the
building department gets to 1t there
will be request for money. Then
it will be up to congress to appFo-
pirate it. But in 1912 there will
be a Democratic house. An old
member ON the Republican side might
get favors but a new member like
Congressman-eiect 'Rees cannot hope
for much and he says SO frankly.
Senator Curtis has been exceed
ingly courteous and active In ABB
llene's behalf. He introduced a bill
early last session for the approprfa-
tion and Abilene feels mighty kind
" toward him for his Interest in
it's welfare.
A letter from Senator Bristow
acknowledges receipt Of a telegram
and adds "I shall be very glad tc
do what / can in the matter.
Congressman Calderhead put Abb
lene in the list last year ard but
for the houses economy streak would
have secured the money.

The F|L|BUSTER
WAS A FAILURE
After An All Night Session a Com

WILL VOTE ON LORIMER CASE
In the Agreement II is Also Specified
That Vote shall Be Taken
on the Tariff Board
Hill, E

Washington, Mar. LA spirit OF
Cancellation and compromise, super
induced by the >rigors Of an all night
session moved insurgents and stand
patters to lay down their axes and get
together. Before adjournment 1t was
decided first to take a vote on the
seating Of William Lorimer, second
to reach vote on the bill providing
for tariff board as soon as possible
thereafter.
The deal which was engineered by
a parcel of conferees. including all
of the insurgents and few stand
patters gives promise Of clearing the
decks for the speedy enactment OF
the business before the senate. This
business consists Of the appropriation
Of about $80O,0O0,000 up to the pres
ent the property Of the people OF the
United States. OF all the insurgents
only LaFollette stood out against
compromise.
The filibuster which was started at
noon Monday lasted with no appreci-
able interruption till o'clock Tues
day morning.
All Day and Night.
Senator Burrows asked consent
that a vote on the Lorimer case be
taken at 1880 to-day.
III that consent is given" said Sen
ator Hale, Il shall ask that we take
recess TIL o'clock tonight and
that no business save speechmaking
shall be transacted at the night ses-
sion."
Stone Objected,
Senator Stone objected. He would
not agree to an evening session un'
less he could be absolutely assured
that no business would be transacted
and he came from q state in which
demonstrations, not promises, must
be made.
Mr.. Sherman took part in the pro
ceedings to announce that he wanted
the senate to understand that 1t wal
hts purpose as soon as convenient Il
recognize a senator who was to TAXI
on a matter which was mot recip
4 rocity--the slhjsct Senator Stone wa
afraid Of,

Verifying tails assertion from thu
chair, Senator Henry Cabot IOdge
who has Ind little to say this week
spoke up as gollows:
Il want 1t understood that II thu
consent gDss through. l shall call VI
| the bill ueating q permanent tarif
board and make 1t the unfinished bus

Senator Stone rose to object bu
some OF the senators who had Sxet
up the compromise surrounded hin
and whispered violently In his ear
He withirew his objections. Mr.
Lodge mDved to make the tariff boart
bill the unfinished business after tht
vote ON the LOrimer cMse. Bale,

motion carried 50 to 81. Thereupci

Nvises me that he has suffi-

will not need money for the
erection of the building be-
fore 1912, and as he has

cannot recommend an appro-

play presented at the Majestic and,
judging from the pleased expression
of those who witnessed it, the play
was a pronounced success. George
Barton, as the Geizer, and Cash
Knight as Lord Somebody Else, were
the instigators of much fun and
merriment to the good sized, good
natured audience which filled the
house.
Then there was one Raymond Teal.
who BACKED up and played the SER
want in the house. His work in this
role is beyond comparison. His de-
lineation of the southern darkey can
only be appreciated by seeing. In his
speciality between acts he responded to
numerous encores which he had not
prepared for and was compelled to
cxtemporize several extra local Choir
uses to his latest parody on Every
Little Movement" o. ]. Post, Corinne
Carkeek and Frances Grey worked
exceedingly well in the parts cast for
for them.
While the numbers led by Grace
Wolfe gave Miss Wood were de-
serving of much credit. which limited
space forbids mentioning.
