The historical committee of the City Federation met Thursday night with Mrs.

Margaret Hill McCarter and made plans for the year's work. The committee will continue the work begun by Miss Lucy Kingman of gathering personal recollections of State and city history. The women of the committee have pledged themselves to work for a larger membership for the Kansas Day club. Also they will locate and make a list of the historic places surrounding the city, such as the old Indian mission, the house where John Blown stayed, etc. It is their intention to make a map of the city with these piuces marked and they will gather up the history ot, the old school buildings.

They wish to place a cabinet in the Historical library, which shall be known as the City, Federation cabinet and which shall contain all relics and manuscripts belonging to the City Federation. The committee requests all the clubs of the federation to devote one program to Topeka Day, if possible, the first week in December, as December 5 is the anniversary of the founding of Topeka. The clubs of the city are requested to send a copy of their year books to the historic committee. Communications for the con'mittee may be sent to any of the members: Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, Miss Zu Adams, Miss Maud Bishop and Miss Emma Wallace.

Kan. Ave. through competitive examination. Explaining further, they, say; An attempt is being made in Congress to place additional employees needed for taking the census of 1910 under the old patronage system. Though the permanent census bureau was placed in 1902 under the merit system, the bill for the new census, in its present form, provides that appointment shall be made through noncompetitive examinations.

As the United Stttes Civil Service commission has every facility for furnishing promptly the requisite number of well qualified eligibles by means of open competitive examinations, the only obpect of the non-competitive provision seems to be to make subject to congressional patronage some 4,000 positions in Washington and some 60,000 positions in other parts of the country. Hon Carroll Wright, who had charge of, taking the census of 1890, has stated that, if the force then employed had been appointed under the civil service rules, at least $2,000,000 would have been saved, and more than a year's time.

The Duke of Devonshire, who is 75 years old, is one of the wealthiest of the English peers and quite equal to his duties, although he is recently reported as ill in Egypt. Governor Hughes of New York told a number of women who had come to him in the interest of suffrage the other day that as soon as the women of the country wanted to vote the right would be theirs, as he felt certain that women could get what they want.

He no doubt had reference to the fact that many women are not only indifferent, but some of them are actively organized to oppose the right of suffrage for women. A New York society numbers many prominent women and among them is Mrs. Elihii Root, who is one of the vice presidents of the society. Mrs. Fairbanks, on the other hand, is one of the national vice l-resldents of the suffragists.

Yesterday aftemora J. C. Hopper of Ness county filed an application in the Supreme court for a writ of mandamus to compel James M. Nation. State Auditor, to Issue a patent for one hundred and sixty acres of school land In Ness county.

The. controversy grows out of what tfc? State Auditor and Attorney General hol to be an unlawful entry and sale of school land. The law provides that school land shall be appraised and sold in forty acre tracts and that a school land homestead must consist of some number of contiguous forty acre tracts, not exceeding four of such tracts. The section which Hopper entered was meandered by a stream bordered by rich bottom meadows suitable for alfalfa: but aside from the bottom lands the rest of the section was somewhat rough and hilly, and Mr. Hopper, with the discerning eye of a granger who had studied Co burn's agricultural reports to advantage, outlined and zigzagged a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres out of the heart of the section following the best lands along the creek regardless of the lines of the school land survey.

This leaves the rest of the land rough and hilly and shut off from the water and totally unfit for school land homesteads, and It is to test the right of a settler to take the best part of a section regardless Of the legal surrey that thJ State Auditor refuses to issue a patent to Mr. Hopper.
