Topeka
From the columns OF
THE STATE JOURNAL

Henry NJ. Stanley was greeted by a
fine audience at the Grand last night.
There were few empty seats and the
audience represented the intelligence
and culture of the Kansas capital.
The speaker was introduced by George
R. Peck, who said that while the age
of chivalry had passed, yet chivalric
valor still existed, as had been shown
by the life and achievements of the
distin sulshed gentleman whom he
would have the honor to introduce.
Stanley was loudly applauded as he
came on the stage. He is a man of
fine presence, of average height and
strong physique. He has a resolute
look, not the grimness that his pic
lures suggest but rather a pleasant
look. Neither is he bronzed or sun
burned as one might expect. While
his delivery was conversational in
style it held the closest attention of
the audience. Mrs. Stanley occupied
the lower right hand box accompanied
by George r. Peck and family.

BANTAMs TO HATCH QUAIL.
Warden Tegmeier Visits X. S. A. C.
Poultry Farm in Search of Hens.

Manhattan, Kan, March 3.-Wil-
liam Tegmeier, state fish and game
warden, visited the poultry farm of
the Kansas State Agricultural college
in quest of so Buff Cochin bantams
for incubating quail eggs which he
brought from Texas. In some sections
of Kansas quail have been practically
stamped out and Mr.. Tegmeier is
making an effort to replenish these
districts.
Nearly all quail eggs are fertile and
will hatch easily under almost any
bird, but the Buff Cochin bantam sur
passes all others in brooding the
young quail, except the mother quail
herself.

The evening of February 81 the
public was invited by Mrs. Spofford
to meet the officers and delegates of
the Women's National Council From
till II the parlors and dining room
of the Riggs hotel were literally
packed. To reach the hostess and re-

elegant man in full evening dress.
Down the central plat CT his immacu-

polished collar, and the gentleman's

ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.
Wheat Survived Ice in MCPHERSON
Now Confronts Hessian Fly.

Mcpherson, Kan, March 3.-When
the sleet and ice that covered the
fields for several weeks melted away,
a news note in many of the larger
papers stated that in several of the
counties, including Mcpherson, the
wheat had been damaged.
The warm weather that followed
has, however, given indications that
this will not prove a fact. The stand
has not been smothered. The first
fall was a sort of a snow rice and
allowed air to penetrate.
The danger now confronting the
stand is the Hessian fly, which is
abundant in many fields.

Men say women show it in their
