collection of notables limiting each
state TO two representatives.
The Senate on Saturday last accepted
CLICK and his greatness, being notified
by Governor IIoDGEs OF Kansas that the
statue of the favoritc son was com
pleted. In the speeches lllumlnative Of
the man who had shed lustre upon
Kansas there was one dscOrdant note,
struck by Senator BRrsrow Of the State
that is to be honored. said he:
He tGLIcKl was genial. atYable gen.

However. CLICK it is. and Senator
THOMPSON and other Democrats In the
chamber made the most of him. Mr.
REED of Missouri. for instance. said
that "GEoRGE w CLICK was warrior
on the battlefield OF progress" But
Mr.. CLICK had something of n military
record: as Il member OF the Second
Kansas Regiment under Colonel NJ

at the battle Of the Big Blue in the
war between the States. The dS,nc.

that Mr.. CLICK gets into the hail. The
term carries no definite meaning. but
he served several times in the State
Legislature, taking part in the making
of the laws: he was President CLEvE-
LANDS pension agent at Topeka. and
in 1889 he defeated JoHN =. ST JOHN

the Governorshlp of Kansas.
Mr. CLICK also farmcd and raised
stock after serving one term as Gov.

spread out in both directions, destroy

with adjoining warehouses, stables,
barns, etc. 1t was discovered at $3.50

buildings will soon be modern brick
