old GRADS PARTY
Many Clever Stunts at Wash
burn College Entertainment.
One of Most Successful Stunts
ERer Put on Here.

One hundred and twenty-five ex-
students and graduates of Washburn
college assembled in Thomas gymna-
SUM Tuesday night. They remained
from until II o'clock, watching
stunts put on by persons representing
various "eras' in Ichabod history.
All proclaimed the party one of the
most successful ever put on at Wash
burn. A few students were present,
but the entertainment was primarily
for the "old grads"
Dean p. l. McEachron presided
over the Stunt put on by the before
1894" The representation was of a
Friday rhetorical. and Mrs. J. D. Nc
Farland, as Tilly Steele, her maiden
name, and Mrs. Robert Merrick as
Tressa Greenwood, her maiden name,
were the two prize members of the
rhetorical class.
Robert Stone, a Topeka attorney.
delivered a defamation, which his
brother George made before 1894"
while Washburn was called Lincoln
college. Stone said the time was
shortly after the Civil war" and add
ed that his brother won the declama-
ton contest.
Paul LoveweH wrote the 1S95-13O4
act, but was unable to be present and
take part. Paul Sweet took his IIace.
In Three Scenes.
The act was presented in three
scenes. The first represented a class
meeting to arrange for a class party.
The members were in heated debate
deciding whether to charge 20 cents
or 25 cents to defray expenses of the
party. The second scene was taken
from the days when spin the platter"
was a favorite game. The third scene
portrayed the "Beasties'' an old Wash
burn outlaw organization, in the act
of stealing the ice cream and refresh
ments for the party. (While the
"Beasties' were old-time trouble max
eds, a troop of modern "Beasties' did
make off with some of the refresh
ments for the party).
Hugh Mcfarland was in charge of
the 1905-1915 stunt. Pictures of col
lege characters of that time were
shown on screen, to the decided en-
barrassment of some members present.
Judge Dawson of the supreme court
made talk, and offered the informa-
ton that he was the first Scotchman
to ever be graduated from the Wash
burn law school. He further init
mated that he was the only man of
his class who didn't have a political
pull to get diploma. Several dissent
ing opinions were voiced at this state
ment
Karl Menninger produced the 1915
1922 act. He decided upon a modern,
very modern theme, and divided the
assemblage into two sections, men VS..
women, then attempted a phycho-
analysis experiment.
Refreshments (What were left) fol-
lowed the stunts and dancing took up
the remainder of the evening.

An unusual opportunity for Topeka
to enter the export field with an en-
tirely different commodity has been
offered. Miss Eta NJ. Covell, city
clerk, has received letter from James
B. Rogers. an instructor in the zoo
logical department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college, inquiring as to
the chances of securing a supply of
stray cats from the city.
Rogers letter stated that he does
not know whether stray cats in Topeka
are put in. the pound or not, but if they
are. the college could use large sup
ply of them.
The cats are not to be used fof
svivisection, Rogers made plain. They
are killed in as humane a manner as
possible" he says.
As a matter of fact, cats which are
used in the geological laboratories at
Mania, tan are scientifically chloro-
formed, and their bodies preserved
until they are needed in laboratory
work The collection of stray cats for
sale to the college is an infant indus
try in Manhattan, INDUCED in chiefly
by the young idea" When beloved
feline in that city disappears, suspl-
cion at once attaches to the scouts or
the zoo labs-the small boys.
Topeka has a chance to edge in on
the industry. But stray cats in To-
peka are not impounded.

National Woman's Party Leader An
nounces Marriage to Professor.

one of the leaders of the National
Woman's party confirmed reports
of her marriage to Albert Levitt,
a professor in the University OF North
Dakota and in doing so announced she
would not change her name.
why should I change my name,"
she asked. There is no law to insist
on it and 1t is only custom that has
been leading people to do it all this
time. 1 think it would be inconvenient
to change my name. OF course if peo
pie call me Mrs I will not make an
issue of it but 1 intend to keep my
name for all legal matters, visiting
cards and so forth"
The suffrage leader said she and
Prof. Levitt were married Christmas

LOOK TO CAPITOL
Kansas Stock Raisers Want
Texas Fever Refund.
Secretary Mercer Now in WASH
ingtOn About S35O,OOO Due.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 25.-Kansas
livestock men are looking expectantly
to Uncle Sam for $350,000 for catTSe
that died of Texas fever in Kansas
three years ago. Reaching settlement
on this claim is one of the missions
of ]. H. Mercer, secretary of the Kan
ton at this time, John A. Edwards of
Eureka said today in his presidents
address at the opening session of the
associations annual convention.
This association undertook the col
lection from congress of the value of
said Mr.. Edwards. I'VE owners of
these cattle lost approximately $780,
00O-and on cattle moved. admitted
and paid for under government super
vision. We are hoping that this sum
will be paid This sum properly dis
tributed in Kansas would make today
seem like the Fourth of July. If Mr..
Mercer is successful we will reconvene
this convention and invite Bryan to
come with his grape juice"
President Edwards reviewed the as
sociation's successful fight for reduc-
tion of freight rates on cattle shipped
to Kansas pastures from the south
west, adding:
But we were not so successful in
securing a reduction of the livestock
rates within the state of Kansas. we
asked the utilities commission of our
state for a 80 per cent reduction in
railroad rates from Kansas feed lots to
Kansas pastures. This commission
acted favorab bly,, believing our testi-
mony that approximately 81 per cent
had been added during the war; that
80 per cent advance had come after
the armistiee and after the railroads
had been turned back to the owners.
The case was carried to the iQterStat te
commerce commission. We lost. 1t
my opinion that the I. c. c. has acteG
during the past three years as tho
there We're no other vital industry ia
the country except that of the rain
roads-that the railroads were the
main show and that the rest of US be-
long in cages in the menagerie.'
President Edwards attacked the at
titude of livestock commission houses
in maintaining thier war level rates.
