. senate, Lieutenant Governor w. Y.
Morgan, all the letters 'and tele-
/! grams they had received from their
constituents protesting against the
Troutman bill to make the office Of
6uperintendent of insurance appoint
I've by the governor instead of cleo

For State Farm Loans

A state bond OF $50. 100000 TO
lend money on farm land is provided
in a bill introduced in the house
yesterday by Thomas McDermott Of
wichita. Mr.. McDermott says his
bill intends to keep mortgages In the
state instead of allowing outsiders
to get the interest.
Simply Land Title Procedure
The first bill OF the session for
the Torrens system OF land titles and
abstracts, a law adopted by num-
Der Of other states, was introduced
Yesterday by Senator j. ID. Joseph OF
Butler county. Under the system OF
land titles now in vogue In Kansas,
It is necessary to furnish an abstract
to the purchaser whenever a prop
erty is sold, or to the maker OF the
loan whenever loan is desired upon
the property. II purchaser OF land
desires to be certain that the title
to property he is planning to buy
will be good, he must pay an attor-
ney from five dollars to a hundred
dollars to examine the abstract. The
Torrens system makes the deed good
without the necessity for accompany
ing 1t with the expensive and trou-
blesome abstract.
Abolish Hotel Inspectors Job
Quickly, silently, apparently joy
ously, the house yesterday afternoon
voted to abolish the office Of state
hotel commissioner, created by the
1918 Legislature. Not representa-
tive on either side of the house rails
ed a voice in protest. The reading
clerk read the bill, introduced by
Fred Riebe of Anderson, Democrat,
with the recommendation of the
'judicidfy committee that it be
passed.

That Breach of Promise Case.

The mock court trial to be given under the auspices of the ' Young Mems Christian association, il the Olympic theatre. on Tuesday evening, February gth. promises to be an event of un- usual interest Judging from news paper reports of similar entertainments conducted by the present management 1t would seem to be one of the most amusing things now offered for public patronage.
 It win be in the first place, an exact reproduction of a court scene in meth eds and procedure and on this account will be extremely interesting to ladies RRd others who have never attended z real trial
 Best of all will be the refined fun of the whole affair. With Judge Mel Mrs. H. NJ. Pollock appearing as the broken-hearted plaintiff, c. H. Haskell as the defendant, Col. Newton prose- cutting the case, and Arthur F. Libby, Esq. defending the accused. to say nothing of the brilliant array of court officers witnesses and jurors, it is pretty certain we shall have all the comedy and reality of a court scene and enough wholesome fun to last a whole year. The tickets are selling last, as might be expected, and it is suggested that those intending to en- joy this unusual feast of fun get their tickets early.
 Following is d list of patronesses: Mrs. John c. Averill, Mrs. William E. Birge, Mrs. Frederick s. Camp, Mrs. Edward D. Fuller, Mrs. Frank A. Mrs Leonard W. Bacon, Mrs. Charles R. Butts, Mrs. Leonard c. Smith, Mrs. Charles ". Gale. Mrs. ". T. Olcott, Mrs George D Colt

HOW TO CURE \
 CHRONIC COUGH
Told in the Following Letter by a Jackson Man Who Knows from Experience. His Word Is Good.

Jackson, Miss.-f'I am 8 carpenter, and the grippe left me not only with a chronic cough, but I was rundown, worn out and weak. I took all kinds of cough syrups but they did me no good. finally got so weak l was not able to do day s work, and coughed so much was alarmed about my condition. One evening 1 read about Vinol and decided to try 1t. Before had taken quarter of bottle l felt better, and after taking two bottles my cough is entirely cured, all the bad symptoms have disappeared and have gained newyim and energy. JOHN L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street, Jackson, Miss.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because the active medic inal principles of cod liver oil contained in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and supplies strength andvigor to the nerves and muscles while the tonic iron and wine assist the red corpuscles of the blood to absorb oxygen and distribute it through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weakened, diseased organs of the body.
 If Vinol fails to help you, we Eeturn your money.

TAFTVHLE
Runaway Near TaftViiie Pharmacy Local Young People Enjoyed Sleigh ride-5altic MiIlicnaires to Play Here-PersonaIs.

runaway that caused considerable excitement for a short while occurred on Thursday afternoon about 2.30 o'clock A horse which was attached to & sleigh became frightened on Nor wIch avenue near the Ponemah mills and ran up Providence street. Then the animal turned the corner near the post office and started down South Front street When the animal came within twenty-five feet of the Taftville pharmacy 1t took to the sidewalk. At this point there is a tree and tele- phone pole and a team was standing near the pole. The frightened steed swung around between the pole and team sending a bystander who tried to stop the horse up against the team.
 On a quick turn into the alley way near the drug store the sleigh tipped over but this did not check the mad pace of the horse who went up wading through clothes liens on the incline in the rear Of the houses and finally came to a stop after it slipped up and fell Several men tried to climb the incline in 8 hurried fashion to cap ture the horse and fell repeatedly, owing to the slipperiness of the snow crust.

BERLIN PERSISTS THAT
 BRITISH CRUISER WAS SUNK
In the Naval Battle in the North Sea
 on Sunday, Jan. 24.

Berlin. Feb. 4, by wireless teleg raply to Sayville, N. Y.)-Gernlan ad- Iniralty officers assert that there is no longer any possibility of doubt that d British battle cruiser was sunk in the naval battle in the North sea. on Jan. 24, during which the German cruiser Bleucher went down. They say that this has been established definite ly by the testimony of a large number of officers and men who took part in the fight.
 The destruction of the battle cruis- CT, according to these statements was accomplished by the German torpedo boat destroyer V ,, commanded by Lieut.. Von Eichern. The V 5, it is said launched torpedoes at a distance of five miles from the British war ship demonstrating the exceptional range Of German toTpedoes. The ad- niralty officers express the belief that the British cruiser Tiger was sunk.
 No further news has been received here concerning the use of German submarines against British transports. It is believed that Gernlany's action is directed solely against transports and that @ submarine blockade of France is not contemplated.
 The British admiralty. in it's report of the North sea battle, claimed that no British warships were sunk. The Tiger was damaged, but was reported two days after the battle to have re- turned to her mooringS.

POETRY
EAIHER.

He was not the kind of father that
 you read about in books; He wasn't long on language, and he
 wasn't strong on looks; He was not the sort of father that you
 hear about in plays; He was just a human fatuer, with q
 human fathers ways. No he never baked at working. but
 when he was through 1t once Right down to the grass was father,
 with the children, doing stunts. All Of us would pile upon him; and he'd
 welcome all the pack, But I'm Wonde ering after play time did
 We stay thereon his back2 Wasn't strong on dissipation; said his
 gau1b0l on the green" Was to fl the platter faster than the
 kids could lick it clean, And the next best game he knew O.
 was an equal one to beat It was keeping leather covers up to to
 the supply or feet. Always on the job was father, plugging
 steady-ike and strong Never making any noise, hut helping
 all his little world along. And to ti1inl-LOrd, ain't it funny you
 can see things years and years And yet never knew you've se4n them

 Quit his jon one day and left US, e1niI-
