Why is Kansas called the Jay
hawk Slater" inquiries Mrs. K.
G. Baker of the Capital. DIV.
Wilder in his Annals of Kaasas,
writing of the year 1856. has this
explanation of Jayhawker:
''One autumn morning, in this
year, Pat Devlin, a Free State
Irishman, rode into Osawatomie
on a horse heavily laden with
many kind of goods. Have you
been foraging, Pat?' Yes, I've
been out jayhawking. We have
a bird in Ireland we call the jay
hawk; it worries its prey before
devouring it; and jayhawking is
good name for the business
I've been IN. - Wilder goes on :
This is the only known origin
of this word. Colonel Jennison,
early in the war, called himself
and his soldiers Jayhawkers and
the name soon came to be ap-
piled to all Kansas *. @. Jour

which they thrust upon strang
gers in a foreign land, the girl
might be saved from a fate to-

She was led astray by her com

worked and now has gained a
reputation from being seen with
these companions, who keep her

She is sorry that she has done
wrong, but does not know how
to go about it to get away from
them, and she is just at the stage

1t breeds coughs, colds, catarrh, grip,
pleurisy, lame back, rheumatism,
consumption and bad temper. The
only thing to be said for it is it makes
business for the coal man and causes
the ice man to smile as he stores away
in sawdust the big chunks of CONCEAL

quit laying, and when the doc goes

young father is able to sit up and
take solid food, he, the doc has both

Eulogy On the Dog

-
Gentlemen of the jury: The
best friend a man has in the
world may turn against him and
become his enemy. His son and
daughter that he has reared with
loving care may become migrate
full. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we
trust with our happiness and
our good name, may become
traitors to our good faith. The
money that a man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him
when he may need it most.
Mans reputation may be sacri-
feed in a moment of i'll consider
ed action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees and
do us honor when success is
with us may be the first to throw
the stone of malice upon our
heads The one absolutely un
selfish friend a man may have in
this selfish world, the one that
never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or
treacherous is the dog.
Gentlemen of the jury: A
mans dog stays by him in pros
perity and poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep
on the cold ground. when the
wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he may be
near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to
offer, he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter
with the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his pau
per master as if he were a
prince.
When all other friends de-
sert, he remains. When riches
take wings and reputation falls
to pieces he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an out
cast into the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than
that of accompanying him. to
guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies, and when
the last scene of all comes and
death takes his master in its en-
brace and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter if
all other friends pursue their
way, there by his graveside will
the noble dog be found, his head
between his paws and his eyes
sad, but open in alert watchful-
ness, faithful and true even to
death. .''-Ex- Senator Vest in K.

The repeated tests of the city water
which have been made in the city
laboratories since it was decided to
install the chlorination plant show that
the condition of the water is improv-
ing steadily although in some of the
outlying sections of the city where
there are many "dead ends' in the
mains the improvement noted was not
as great as it might have been and
the water still showed unmistakable
traces of pollution. At no time since
the new process of purifying the water
was installed have the conditions in
any part Of the city been such as
could be described as dangerous and
it is the intention of the water com
pany to remedy the conditions which
are due to the stagnation Of the water
in the fsdead ends" of the mains by
providing for freer circulation
through all of the mains. So far the
new system is doing all that was
claimed for it in making the water
safe and if conditions continue to i'm
prove it will not be long before the
results will be shown in the returns
of the health department.

BIG SGIT REVERSED
Illinois Supreme Court Or
ders New Trial in the Suit
Against Jeffrey Co.
MITHEN MUST FIGHT AGAIN

The supreme court of the state of
Illinois on Monday handed down de
cision of great interest in Kenosha
when it reversed the decision of the
lower court in the suit brought by
Torger S. Mithon, now employed as a
clerk at the Offices of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company, against the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company and re-
manded the action for a new trial.
In the trial of the case in one of the
courts Of Cook county more than .
year and half ago, Mithen had been
given damages to the amount Of
$4,000, the amount being one of the
largest ever returned by a jury in a
personal injury case. The case had at
tracted wide attention. Mithen, who
was employed in the plant of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company here years
ago, had one of his arms so badly man
gled that it had to be amputsted.
Many plans for settlement of the ac-
ton were taken up between the IL
jured man and the officials of the com
pany, but after a long delay he insti-
tuted an action for damages to the
amount of $4,000 against the COM
pany. The trial of the case lasted
many days and scores of witnesses
from Kenosha went to the Chicago
court to testify. Many important le-
gal propositions were brought up in
connection with the case. No time
was set for the trial of the case, but
it is expected that it will be taken up
at the next term of one of the circuit
courts for Cook county. Mithen has
resided in Kenosha for a number of
years.

The Milwaukee avenue property
owners will have to put up with the
running of the interurban cars for sew
eral months longer for Judge Belden
granted a stay of execution which
practically amounts to an injunction
against the property owners which
will prevent them from interfering
with the operation of the cars until
the higher court shall have passed on
his decision. While this action of the
court will be a disappointment to the
Milwaukee avenue property owners it
could not have been entirely unex-
pected and most of them will prob
ably agree with the reasons given for
the delay in enforcing the judgment
against the company. The judge
points out that the property owners
lose no rights and suffer 40 damages
for which they cannot be compensated
by the delay, but that if he forces
the railway company to alter all of
its schedules and change the system
of operation of it's whole line by en-
forcing the judgment at once and then
the supreme court refuses to sustain
his decision the railway company will
have sustained damages for which it
cannot be compensated. 1t is made
very clear that the company is not to
use the stay given it to postpone in
definitely the hearing of the case and
it is enjoined to perfect its appeal SO
that it may be heard in the supreme
court at the earliest possible moment.
The fight put up by the company in
the supreme court may be expected TO
be lively one for the officials must
realize that it would be extremely
awkward for The company to have to
appeal to the property owners or go
to the council for franchise in the
face of the feeling that has been
stirred up over its arbitrary refusal
to make any stops On Milwaukee
avenue.
