USE PRISON BRICK
Shortage of Material Delays
Work on Normal Building.
Brick Made at Penitentiary Too
Soft for Facing.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 13.-Shortage
in penitentiary brick will delay the
opening of the new administration
building of the Kansas Normal school
at Emporia six months according to
Mr.. Fred Lewis, who is supervising
the construction of the bulldog.
The fifteen hundred bricks received
daily and used for backing makes it
possible to work twelve brick men. In
order to handle the job economically
the contractors should be able to
work thirty-five brick men. The
present conditions are delaying the
work and will cause a considerable
loss.
The brick work will be completed
IN about sixty days. After that time
the roofing, plastering and other work
specified in the contract will require
six or seven months. Mr.. Lewis says
the present. contract amounts to a nj
tie over 1000 but will be reduced
by notifications to $172,50O. This
amount does not cover the light, heat
and ventilation equipment which Will
amount to 5000 more. Other things
not included will place the final cost
of the building at nearly $225,ooo.
Get Tenth of Output.
The penitentiary kilns have a ca
pacity of $4,000 bricks daily, out OF
which the Emporia building receives
only 1900 bricks, the balance being
distributed to other state buildings.
The brick is made from clay belonging
to the state and is ordinarily burned
with coal from the state mines oper-
ated by convicts. 1t is cheap ma
terial for building as the convicts re-
ceive no pay for their work.
At present natural gas is used for
burning the brick. Penitentiary brick
is good material for backing but IS
too soft and porous for facing. The
ordinary time for burning is nine days
but the last few kilns have been
burned but seven days and are softer
and more porous than those burned
the nine days.

SHEEP FARMING COMING BACK.
Niclxerson Man Believes Industry Will
Re Profitable in Kansas.

Nickerson, Kan, Nov. 13.-Dr. F. B.
Cornell of near Nickerson, has flock
of sixty pure bred Shropshire sheer,
including fifty breeding ewes. Almost
all the feed is raised on the place
About twenty-five acres is in alfalfa,
which is pastured in the fall and
spring.
81 have considerable faith in the fu-
ture of sheep farming in Kansas" Dr.
Cornell said. 1.-The high prices paid
for mutton and wool have created. a
demand for breeding animals that in
dicates an increase in the number of
flocks in Kansas.
81 sold the wool this year for 30
cents a pound. I do not believe that
the low price for wool. which caused
many Kansas farmers to go out of the
business, will ever return"

FINDS NEW PEST IN WHEAT.
Stafford Farmer Reports Prevalence
of Insect Bigger Than Fly.

Stafford, Kan. Nov. ID. Sims
of southwest of Stafford, reports that
some kind of a fly pest is in the wheat
there and that it is not the Hessian
fly at all. He finds them in large
numbers in the wheat fields. The bug
is much larger than the fly, which
matches from the lower joints of the
wheat stalk in the spring. In fact, it
is perhaps two and half times the
size of the fly and a different shaped
body entirely. 1t does not seem that
there could be any relationship be-
tween the two varieties of insect, and
yet, it seems to be infesting the fields
this fall.

ACUTE and CHRONIC
RHEUMATISM

The exact cause Of rheumatism is IN.

be due to an excess of uric acid in the blood
It may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which Is specinc
in all cases. In fact the literature OF rheu-
matfsm shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given q trial In the
hands of one observer we find that a certain
drug has been used with the utmost salts

to be q great disappointment. All physi-
clans however agree that every method of
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet

titioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
all forms of rheumatism These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed In headaches, neuralgtas
and all pain. Ask tor AK Tablets.

VIII Establish Air Squadron.

Batavia, Dutch East Indies, March
The government has decided on the es-
Enlistment of a regular flying section
for the Indian army. Twelve more
machines Of the seaplane type at pres
ent in use in the experimental flying
section here are to be purchased in the
United States. A special commission
will be charged with the selection and
approval of the aeroplanes. Five
trained airmen. including naval Off
GERS, are to be sent from Holland to
join the new flying establishment.
Hitherto there have been only two
flying machines in Java. They are
seaplanes of American manufacture
on which the first military fights wer>
/ made at the beginning of November
! last. Unfortunately. the flying record
in the calony has since been sadly
marred by the tragic accident in which
the communicative chief of the Neither
| lands Indian army. General Michel
| sen. lost his life The choice OF sea
nlanes as the first flying machines to1
/ India's forces arises from the fact thai
their first use would be TO give SPEEDY
i warning of the approach of foreign
enemy across the sea and information
on the composition of his fleet
