An account of Kansas at the Pana-
ma Pacific exposition is received from
San Francisco, Cal, this morning:
Kansas stretching in airy undula-
ton far away, as if the ocean, in his
gentIest swell, with all mis- rounded
pillows fixed forever, has built at the
Panama Pacific International expo
sition- held on the very edge of the
