There are few persons in Topeka
now who know a great deal concern
ing the beginnings. the early strug-
giles and steady rise of the institution
which now affords many opportun-
tiles. At the time the first ideas of
Washburn originated in the minds of
those brave pioneers, thousands of
armed federal troops and southern in
vaders held sway, while the struggle
against slavery in Kansas was also in
progress

such conditions so dangerous to both
life and home. the founders of Wash

this was out of the question. Nothing
more was Gone until 1859 when help
came from an unexpected source.
Gold had been discovered at Pike S
Peak, and Davis desiring to go there,
was willing to sell his farm. But an
other difficulty arose. There was no
money available with which to make
the purchase. 1t was then that Col

friend, Harvey D. Rice. and the trans

Clark, by terms Of his bill, would
make the uprisings of the Socialists

turpers to Jail and assess 500 fines
as a reward for their agitations.
The Clark bill provides that no flag
except the national colors of the
United States or friendly foreign ma
ton or dependency of friendly for
eign nation shall be carried in any
parade in Kansas or displayed at any
public meeting in the state. The red
or black flag is specifically put under
the ban by the proposed law. The
bill states that no red or black flag or
ensign or inscription tending to
arouse opposition to organized gov
eminent or which is sacrilagiOus or
derogatory to public morals shall be
carried in any parade or displayed in
any public meeting.
Violators of the Clark bill would be
punished by a fine not exceeding
500, by a Jail sentence not exceeding
six months, or by both fine and i'm

law on the statute books of Kansas
which prohibits the displaying of un-

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inflamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. It drives out the cold, which
is the root Of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the tro0ble.

Foot and Mouth Disease Trouble.
Just now there is a new trouble
mouth disease among cattle. In an
emergency bill passed Thursday by
both branches OF the state legislature.
the state agrees to take Off the shOul-
ders of the individual counties one
half of the loss on all stock killed be-
cause of the disease. Speaker Stone
Of the house told the Kansas farmers
Thursday that this expense might be
$4,000 or 100000 and might go to a
half million dollars If the disease
should spread to new territory.
That is not the only trouble. APP
tions will doubtless be higher than
two years ago. An emergency appro-
priation Of SIS, 900 has been made for
the Norton hospital, another $4,000
for immediate use in fighting the
foot and mouth disease, nearly $4,000
at the state penitentiary, about $780,
900 will be required to rebuild the
buildings destroyed at the Pittsburg
state normal and 100000 will prob
ably be appropriated to start the pre-
liminary work OF rebuilding the Lans-
ing prison. In addition to these items
are the regular appropriations for the
state institutions and departments.
All of which leaves but little hope of
evading a material increase in the
state tax levy.
Several days ago, it was reported
that Governor Capper might send a

urging retrenchments. 1t is now pos
sible that the message may not be
