FIGHT TO The END.
Army of the Blue to Reach
100000 Goal.
Washburn Campaigners Are
Confident of Success.

Decision has been made by 1.-THE
Army of the Blue" now working to
complete the 100000 that has been
promised as Topeka's share of the
proposed half million dollar Wash
burn college endowment fund, to con-
tinue the campaign until the goal is
reached 1t has been impossible to
do much this week in the way of pro-
curing funds because of adverse
weather conditions, but it is hoped to
raise the necessary $4,000 within the
next ten days. The next rally of the
workers will be held upon the call of
the chairman of the executive COM
mittee, Robert Stone.
DIR. E1venor Ernest and her asso-
ciates in the campaign have started a
81 1000 memorial fund in honor of the
piucky little blind girl, Miss Pearl
Ladd, whose death recently occurred.
This movement has struck a popular
chord.
After today the campaign 1itera-
ture and lists of prospects will be
kept at the office of A. w. Greenwood,
POI New England building.
Following are comments made rela-
tive to the final skirnish of the Wash
burn campaign in Topeka:
Dean d. L. MacEachron-We have
been urged by those who participated
in the recent campaign to go ahead

and complete the work. We expect
to get the $4,000 by asking everyone
to give as he can. Many of the small
pledges can be doubled Almost any
L believe that one-half of the amount
can be raised through increased
pledges, and the balance can be pro-
cured from those who have not pre-
viously contributed. There are Loo
names OF prospects on the list that
has been prepared. The task is not

will either give or be responsible for
$500 each. 1t is not a question of
ability, but of interest in the work
The fellows who can give from $1Uo
to $4,000 should make up the balance
of the amount required.
Angelus Burch, Washburn stvdent-
Sure, if Dean MacEachron and others
would make things easy for us, we'd
rather work on this than take our
examinations.
Well get the $4,000 if. the cxamina-
tiorS are removed.

NAL Largest in History.

Pittsburg, Kan, May 21.-The State
Manual Training Normal will confer
the degree OF bachelor of science upon

same time life certificates will be
granted to 1875 other candidates. These
two classes are the largest in the his
tory of the Pittsburg school and are

tai enrolment this year is also. Last
year the total enrolment was 1,650.
Last year forty candidates received
degrees. The life certificate class
numbered 1862.
Large as are the classes this year,
practically all of the graduates who

HAPPY HERNDON.
Bumper Crops and Good Busf-
ness Send Hopes Soaring.
New Catholic Church Indicates
Towns Big Growth.

Herndon, Kan. May 21.-State SEN
ator James Malone has lived in this
section of Rawlins county for years.
He has witnessed its ups and downs.
He IS one of the firm of the Herndon
Milling & Grain company. He is pro-
fuse in praise of the Beaver creek val
ley and Rawlins county.
Senator Malone and family will take
an outing this summer. Leaving
Herndon early in June, they will visit
some New York places, then visit the
Panama canal, then go to San Diego
and San Francisco, Los Angeles and
other Pacific coast cities.
Ex-Sheriff John r. Kirchner owns
half a section of RawlinS county land.
He has 200 acres of the best wheat he
ever had. He is interested in thorough
bred cattle, and his alfalfa promises
big returns. He is SO enthusiastic for
Herndon and Rawlins county that he
is building a $1,000 barn. And his big
crop yields demand he must keep up
with the good times. His farm joins
busy Herndon.
George w. Dull, general merchant,
has already built one addition to his
store property. His trade is growing
rapidly and he will put on another
addition. Your correspondent remem-
bers Herndon when one lone business
house supplied the customers, that of
her early pioneer, I. N. George. Now
there are three general stores, lumber
yard, bank, newspaper, two elevators,
FIGURING mill, two hardware and i'm
plement houses, furniture, drugs, hotel
and many other things which tend to
build up a healthy trade, and grow
as the town gets older.
The prospects for crops are so good
that the Herndon people have under
advisement another harvest home
festival this fall on a larger scale than
the successful one held a year ago.
The business people are liberal in
IN
the prosperity of town and county.
The Catholics are getting the ma
terial ready to commence work on the
new cement church to be erected
here this year if the crop prospects
continue good. About $4,000 will be
expended in the improvements. The
church has a large membership. The
new improvements are made necessary
to accommodate it's growth in men,
bership and increase it's educational
facilities.

DRUG IN HANDKERCHIEF
to Smuggle Dope to Prisoners
in Wichita Jail.

Wichita, Kan, May 21.-A new and
thoroughly original method of snug
Cling drugs to prisoners in the county
Jail has been discovered by Sheriff
Frank Sarver. The prisoners have
been permitted to send their clothing
home to be washed. When the gar
ments were returned careful search
was always made for contraband. To
defeat this scrutiny friends of dope
fiend prisoners dissolved drugs in wa
ter and let handkerchiefs absorb it.
Then when the cloth was dry it would
be ironed and sent to the Jail. The
prisoner had only to soak the hand
kerchief in a small amount of water
to get the dope he craved. Since the
discovery of this clever method of
smuggling Sheriff Sarver has denied
the privilege of sending laundry out of
the Jail.
