PUPILS OWE NO DEBT
Educational Institution an Investment.
Gays j. d. Hickman.


Manhattan, Kan, May 1S.-The
time honored idea that the students
owe the state a debt of gratitude for
maintaining advanced educational in
stitutions was raped by ]. D. Rick
man, assistant state printer, in an ad-
dress to the industrial journalism and
printing students of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. These schools
are business investments from which
the state receives returns in the form
of men and women better equipped to
succeed IN life and are in no sense
charitable institutions, Hickman said.
Hickman told the students in some
detail Of the work Of the state print
ing plants.
"Since the state printing plant was
erected it has paid for itself many
tunes over" he said. Now that IL
is printing the grade books it saves
for the state its cost of erection every
year. Or approximately $250.000."

Their theory is that the oat crop may be

Of oats from country may be small. They
also argue that farmers will not sell oats
freely at under 60 cents. A report that
export bids had been lowered 10 cents on
corn led to considerable selling yesterday,
particularly by southwest. There is con-
siderable discussion as TO whether q liberal
part OF the present run of corn is Of suffi-
GENT good quality to make contract grade.

NUMBER NUT T0 l
 PASS IN MAILS.

The Republican has received numer- ous inquiries regarding the number which drew the Moose Hupmobile and when reply was made that the number was not known at this office. sometimes it brought the indignant rejoinder that the reportorial force of this paper was not very enterprising. &a
 The fact is The Republican is tAo- hibited by the postal regulations from printing any facts regarding the pro- posed drawing and the same resula- tions prohibited it from giving through the paper that is through any edition of the paper which goes through the mails, any information concerning the result of the drawing.
 For that reason no interest was taken by any member of the force in the lucky number. But for the satisfac- tion of those who care to visit the of flee or to inquire by telephone the number has been ascertained and will be disclosed. Nor will it be uttered ,n whisper and if Postmaster General Burleson thinks he can do anything about it, let him go ahead
 The foregoing arrangement is for the benefitSof subscribers who receive their papers by mail For the city subscrib- CTS to whom The Republican is deliy- cred by carrier or who buy the paper at the news stand, a city edition will contain the forbidden number.

A mysterious young woman speut most of yesterday sitting on a box in the office of Chief of Police George o. Brisbois. She was still there when the chief went home lasf evening. She was there at midnight and probably will be there when the head of the police department re- ports for duty this morning.
 Just who the young woman was could not be learned from any per- son who visited the office of the chief subsequent to her arrival there. A physician said she was young. probably good looking and seemed to have an air about her indicating that she had spent some time about 
 When the police first heard of the young woman she was at Eleventh and Madison streets, in company of several small boys. She seemed not to notice the arrival of the officers or care. She hadn't taken the pains to dress before appearing in public. Indeed her abandon was so complete that she hadn't even covered her bones with good, living flesh. Some body had been considerate enough to wire her bones together, so they wouldn't fall apart, but that same person exhibited curiosity as to what was inside her head and had sawn off quite a piece of her skull.
 The police don't know whose skeleton it is they have in custody, If the owner will call they may re- cover their property.
