song written by two Kansas men will
be used in the grand Sunfower fin
ale in the Historical Pageant to be
given at the Forum in Wichita on
the evenings of October a, 5, 6, as
the special feature of Wichita's Gold
en- Jubilee celebration.
The music of the song was COM

words by Harry W. Stanley, both
sons of the late Ex-Governor. W. E.
Stanley. The song is called "My
Golden Kansas" and is said by those
who have had the privilege of hearing
it, to be worthy of perpetuation as
the state song of Kansas.

According to the charges. Mrs.

In the report received by the state
board from Winfield, it is stated that
Mrs. Alexander and her husband
came to the United States from Scot
land on the same boat about thirty
years ago. They became acquainted
on the boat and later married. The
fact that they were divorced is said
to have been verified but the di-

Friday was an "ofF day" for the
Liberal High school foot ball team,
while the God of chance smiled upon
Fowler, consequently the representa-
tives of the little city in the Aries
ian valley returned to their home last
night with the scalp of L H. S.
dangling from their belts.
The game started off in nice shape,
but form the way the players handled
the ball one would have thought it
was creased. Fowler had just about
as much i'll luck as Liberal, but both
teams seemed to be engaging in a
fumbling contest, almost every nice
play being mussed up.
The fellow tried hard and are not
to be blamed 1t was one of those
instances when the harder one tries
the worse things go, and nothing can
change the condition.
Despite the hard luck it was an in

their moneys worth.

Mrs. Westgate, wife of drayman,
living in the city was reported to
have drunk carbolic acid, Wednesday

taken sleeping powders, but the
powders had been in bottle labeled

which it was feared she would not
