To THE PUBLIC:
1t Is with sincere regret that / make
the announcement that 1 have severed
my relation with the Fort Hays Kansas

which have been connected for the
past five years.
l. have a personal ambition,
strongly urging me, to continue a
course OF higher instruction, leading to
the Phi D. degree, along my special
line, at one of the large Universities OF
this country 2 The policy OF the
state Is Indifferent toward the upbuild-
ing Of advanced business education in
her schools, which fact, through q lack
Of funds, makes It impossible for me TO
develop the work Of my department, or
to keep pace with its growth.
In severing the intimate and pleasant
relations which have existed during nv
stay here, 1 beg to acknowledge the
profound satisfaction which It has given
me TO have been associated with Pres
ident ". A. Lewis and his esteemed
faculty and with the splendid citizens
of Hays thank them all for the
many eOurtesies extended to me.
With the heartiest good wishes for
the future growth Of the FORT HAYS
KANSAS NORMAL SCHOOL and

personal regards to the good people
connected with them. / am
Very cordially,

THOUGHT KAISER BOSSED
 OUR NORTHERN LIGHTS

Dr. J. H. Romig testified today in the Commissioners court that Frank Lipps, who was on trial on an insanity charge, labored under the delusion that the kaiser was running our Aurora Borealis. The doctor stated that Lipps declared the northern lights were not real northern lights but were the result of some machina- tions of the Imperial Wilhelm. Lipps also told the doctor some time ago that he was qualified physician and surgeon and that he could show him "hoY to cut people,. (Which l have no doubt about" remarked the doctor drily as comment on an occurrence of two years ago.
 Lipps, who is barber, was arrest ed last evening. The result of the trial was not known at press time.

Bio Dance Tonight

Stewards real Thanksgiving will be celebrated tonight in the A. B. Hall, when the whole town, his wife and son and daughter will take part in the Grand Dance. This dance will have the added grace of giving spiritual as well as ordinarily human pleasure. It will be a combination of delights, and all perfectly appropriate to the occasion. The refreshments will also relieve all danger of monotony and some of the incest things have been prepared by the committees. Every organization in town is taking part in the work of making the affair full and perfect success and it will be more than a success--it will be a glorious celebration of Stewards first Thanksgiving as the ocean terminal of the government railroad. Any man or woman of military age' found in the streets tonight after nine o'clock should be made conscripts and be shanghaied for service at the front.
 Face Front! March! To A. B. Hall!
