Why is it that so many people jogging COM
fortably long, who see an approaching train at a
railroad crossing, will whip up their horses or
start up their machines, to get chance
to risk their lives on the tracks?
A noted foreign diplomat says that if inter

Some city people still laugh at the poor farm

would better look out that the poor farmer does
not run them down in his new six-cylinder auto

Henry Ford says people should eat only

Under present circumstances travelling to

Experienced farmers must read the news

Some men growl about the cost of lumber

Some people won't keep dog because he

There is growing feeling of dissatisfac-

1t seems strange that there has as yet been

When it takes three quarters of a column

in the CarpathianS that the Archduke
Eugene should be ordered to abandon
the campaign against Serbia and also
withdraw useless forces on the Ru-

with their rifles in their hands.

TURN DOWN DAVIS
Senate Refuses to Bring Suit
Against Akers and Davis.
Wouldn't Start Proceedings to
Recover State Fees.


Having already passed two bills di-
rected to cutting off the fees of the
state treasurer and state auditor
which those two officers are now per-
mitted to retain as perquisities addi-
tlonal to their regular salaries, the
senate this morning declined to adopt
a resolution written by Senator Davis
of Bourbon providing for a lawsuit
to recover the fees already collected
and kept. The Davis resolution di-
recting the attorney general to sue
the auditor and treasurer was first
amended until it would have been in
effective and then killed by vote of
19 to 20,
Senator Davis, who has been con-
ducing a guerrilla warfare on the
treasurer and auditor ever since the
opening of the session, expressed his
disgust at the action of the senate
when he saw his resolution doomed to
defeat.

'iS preparing to play the same old
confidence game on the people of
Kansas in the matter of these fees that
four previous legislatures have played

gone on record by passing bill TAX

passed another bill on the same sub
iect; but neither house has yet passed |

Won Hindenburg Resumes the
Commandment of OssOwetZ.
The Russian Forces. Still Are
Holding the Fort.

London, March 16.@The only mill
tary activity along the East Prussian
front appears to be the resumption of
the German bombardment of Osso-
wetz. At this point the attacking bat
teries have been brought closer to the
fortress, according to official reports
from Petrograd, because of the inef-
fectIVeness of shell fire at a longer
range. The Russian reports maintain
the attacks on the fort have been sue
cessfully countered.
Petrograd claims that the Russians
are holding their antagonist on almost
the entire Przasnysz front, where the
Germans are keeping up a violent ar
tlllery fire. In the Carpathians and in
Gallc1a it is the usual story of attack
and counter attack, with Vienna
claiming a slow advance after SAN
culinary assaults on mountain tons
hold by the Russians, while the Rus
slams on the other hand maintain that
they are more than holding their own
in these regions.
Weather conditions in the Carpa-
thians, where the snow is deep, make
the movements of troops difficult

to operate freely. The Russians are
bombarding Przemysl with heavy bat

MAUNSELL EXPLAINS.
Municipal Light Correction Made by
TOpekan Today.

c. j. MaunseT, who at a meeting at
which petitions were presented to the
city commission yesterday favoring
the submission of a bond election to
vote bonds for the erection of a
municipal electric plant, was quoted
as saying that the Topeka Industrial
Council had been active in the circu-
lation of the petitions and that he
had had an oversight of the same, de-
sires to have a correction made. Mr.
Maunsell says that the only activity
he had in the matter was in securing
the signatures of five persons. He
says that so far as he knows no money
was paid persons either for circu-
lating the petitions or for signing
them
1t is also said that the Topeka In
dustrial Council never Endorsed the

HELP CENSUS TAKERS!
County Clerk Says Topckans Arc Not
Doing as They Should.

The census campaign now being
made in the city is being much de-
layed on account of the attitude of
those living in the ultra faS hionable
sections toward the census takers ac-
cording to Oscar SwayZe, county clerk.
1T is a matter of wonderment and
surprise to me- said Oscar Swayze to-
day, that the residents in the ultra
fashionable quarters are giving US SO
much trouble and delaying the work
OF taking the census as they are, and
above all, that my men are complaint
ing of the insults hurled at them by
the would-be rich. Why, do you know
that we have had no trouble of that
kind except among the tough element
in the Slums, who have some reason
for their suspicion of any stranger
coming to their doors, until we got
into the high-browed districts.

ings for state schools were denied, In
a recent conference, the house offered
to grant a new building for the En-
poria normal to cost $3.50, OOO- Inc
house bill originally called for a
S125,O0O building at Hays.
In addition to this agreement, new
building will be granted the Pittsburg
normal as was provided in>the original
senate bill. The house also acceded
to the senate in granting a new ou1ld.
ing for Rosedale. In the matter OF
new buildings for Kansas university
and the state Agricultural college, the
senate bowed to the wishes of the
house and cut the items from their
bill:.
More college Maintenance.
While the university and agricul-
tural college draw no new buildings,
their maintenance fund was materially
increased over the original house re-
port The original difference between
the house and senate was about 81
100000. While it is stated that the
senate has made the greatest conces-
sions, it is understood that the house
has granted an even division of this
great difference.
The action today followed the ap
pointment of three separate confer
ence committees to work out solu-
ton of the deadlock over appropria-
lions. The present conference COM
mittee had been in session since Mon
day morning and reached a decision
Immediately following the noon re-
cess
Members of both the house and sem
ate feel confident that the report will
be promptly accepted and that the
deadlock is now broken. In which
event the legislature will adjourn this
week.
For the State Fairs.
The conference committee allowed
$4,000 for the Hutchinson state fair
as against $6S, 200 allowed by the SEN
ate and $4,000 in the house. The
Topeka state fair was allowed $4,000,
the same amount as provided in the
house bill.
The committee did not allow a new
manual training building at the Atchi-
son orphans home, but provided $2O,-
900 for Installing the manual training
