there will be political science leagues
in every county to take up the study
ii political and economic problems.
The work of the league and its pam
phlet will be strictly non-partisan.

gather material for part Of the
pamphlet. She will spend the sum
mer at the University of Chicago
studying with social workers. The
committee in charge of the Kansas

The egg Gambling schools, which
were so valuable to Kansas merchants
last year, will not be operated by the
Kansas Agricultural college this year.
The Democratic legislature reduced
the extension funds of the college so
much this year that there is not
enough money to send out the school
this season. Those Kansas merchants
who have the time may go to the col
lege and take special courses in egg
Gambling for day or for week.

viving children who escaped
death in the Mountain Meadow

Utah, in September, 1857, when
l20 men, women and children
from Arkansas were waylaid

father, mother, oldest sister,
several aunts and uncles were
killed and two of his sisters es.
capped. Captain Carlton, of the
United States Army, was sent
two years later to bury the bod

bodies of children murdered in
their mothers arms. The Nor

planned by the the Indians, but
the Indians claimed that two
hundred Mormons led the at
tack and that the order to ex-

from Salt Lake City.

The Senatorship.
Daily BalIoting by the
Legislature but no Elec-
ton Yet rlade.

The Tennessee Legislature has
been in a deadlock over the cleo.
tion of a United States Senator,
or Senators, for the long and
short term. The Independent
Democrats and Republicans who
stand with them on state issues
have stood honestly by their can
dldate Hon. B. A. Enloe, who to
be elected must secure the whole
independent and Republican
vote and in addition to that num-
Der the delegation Of eleven
from Shelby county. On one
ballot Mr.. Enloe received 81
votes and Judge Shield a Regu-
lar candidate, 81. Ore day AL
lison got the big vote on the
Regular side and one day Tyson
was the Regular favorite. The
real, genuine anti-whisky, ele-
ment of the State wishes the
election Of Enloe, because Of the
facts that he made the best fight
for the cause in two campaigns
and that he is we'll able to make
a creditable representative Of
Democracy in the upper branch
Of our national body. AS we
go to press, it is said that the
end may come to-day Thursday
with strong probability of a
dark horse being the winner.
The morning papers Of to- day
(Thnrsday) report Enloe and Nc
Kellar out and the contest mar
rowed to Chief Justice John X.
Shilds and Attorney General
Charles T. Gates.

A letter from our beloved old
friend, Bishop K. E. Hoss, at

that he is much improved and
seemingly on the road to com.
plete recovery. Bishop Hoss re-
grets that his iudisposition kept
him from taking a part in the
last fight in Tennessee against
the liquor business and he ex.
presses the opinion that the re.
election Of Gov. Hooper was q
great victory for decency and
righteousness. Neither the South
ern Methodist church, any other
church nor the entire South car
show a finer character than the
sturdy and brainy old Bishop
To know him is to love him and
from thousands Of hearts have
gone up prayers for his recovery
