The Alumni Association held their annual meeting in the University chapel last' Wednesday night, about thirty members being present. Presi dent E. N. Johnson presided. An In teresting program was given consisting of some musical numbers by members of the music class and short bright speeches by members of the association.

After this the members went to McHugh's ice cream parlors where re freshments were served. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Dr. J. C. Shaw, president Pearl PerkiDs, vice president; D.

H. Sprong, secretary Georgia Smyth, treasurer. The association decided to admit only academic graduates receiving degrees as members, and to invite the musical alumni to meet with them each year. On Thursday evening the commence ment exercises of the collegiate department occurred in the University chapel. The room was filled with a splendid audience.

Instead of the usual orations Hon. J. Willis Gleed, of Topeka, delivered the commencement address. He chose for his subject, "What the Business World Thinks of a Liberal Education." Mr. Gleed is a speaker of much force and his address was considered one of the ablest and most scholarly ever heard in the city.

The exercises opened with the invoca tion by Dr. Edwin Locke, followed by a pretty pianosolo by Miss Floye Price. After the address Miss Hull sang a solo and there was a string quartet by Miss Floye Price, Messrs. Gray, Morris and Norris. The diplomas were presented and the degreee conferred by President Johnson on the following graduates: Wm.

J. Johnson, Ella E. Barber, J. M. Robinson, J.

F. Wood, Fred E. Heierding, A. G. Farley, and Sim Bimrod.

Clyde King also com pleted the law course but under the re quirements could not receive his degree until he becomes of age. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. J. Kliphardt, and commencement was at an end.

An Expensive Love Letter. An old and prominent citizen tells this story. His father's family settled in an early day on South Cedar and Valley Falls, nearly twenty miles distant, was their poatoffice. One day a letter came to the office addressed to one of the daughters of this family with the words, "In haste" written prominently on the envelope. The postmaster knowing the family and believing that the immediate delivery of the letter was of grave importance, went to the livery stable, hired a team and carried the letter to its destination.

Before delivering it, however, he prudently presented his bill for $10 for his extra labor and expense. The family was poor and had not $10 to their name and did not know where to get that amount of money. The postmaster was, however, obdurate and threatened to carry the important and expensive document back unless he got the money. Finally the old gentleman started out on an exploring expedition over the neighborhood and found one five-dollar gold piece, which he borrowed. The postmaster was finally induced to take this and deliver the epistolary missive, which when opened was found to be a silly love letter to the girl from a schoolmate who thought he was in love with her.

2 IN SOCIETY. Mrs. W. B. Spears entertained the members of the Afternoon Whist Club and a few additional guests at her home iasi iriuay aiternoon.

Several carpenters and stone masons from Soldier left to day for Blaine, where they will build a house. The social at the Harrison school house last Wednesday night was well attended and a good time was had.

Logan Friend are receiving a large invoice of lumber at present, getting ready for fall trade which promises to be fine. K. C. Green's little boys came up from Holton Monday evening and are visiting h6re with their grandmother, Mrs. Francis.

J. Mack shipped four cars of cattle from Soldier Monday. He is one of the heaviest feeders in west Jackson, having now over 350 head on feed. George, candidate for county superintendent, "were" here to-day. There is no question but he will win out and receive the nomination.

His last name is not so easy to predict. John Preston and wife, of California, are visiting at Mr. Stonebraker's. Mr. Preston will be remembered as the Democratic standing candidate for surveyor of this county a few years ago.

Jim Barnes ships a car of hogs to Kansas City to-day. He says he has gone into the business to stay and will devote his entire time to the buying and selling of stock. Inside work is too confining for his make-up. Prof. Hough has decided to give up teaching and haB engaged with Swartz Lynn as clerk, thus causing the board here to look for a principal elsewhere.

This forces three changes in our school one married, one gone to the mountains, and one gone to measuring calico and weighing sugar. Maybe the Soldier kids are hard to manage. In speaking to Mr. Hough drop the handle "Prof." and say just plain "Art." A fine rain fell here Saturday evening and Sunday morning. No hail fell in town, but the country boys from almost every quarter can tell all manner of hail stories.

In some places it made cows sick. Pete Heed says that it hailed so hard at his place that it broke the ends off the shingles that project at the eves. Some places hail went clear through the roofs of houses and landed with a thud on the upper floor. At this writing so far as we can learn there are none of the chunks of ice in the fence corners. Ben L.

Mickel, the township committeeman from Soldier township, attended the Republican committee meeting Thursday. He sayB he did not have his way about having the primaries on July 28, but he is glad of it. for all the people say "the sooner the better," and seem to feel that there can be no mistakes made in nominating-, for all are fine boys. By the way, five candidates visited Soldier Saturday. Four of them were for clerk of the district court.

V. H. McDonald had announced his withdrawal from the race, and that makes Soldier a sweet place, for the boys flock here like flies at the bung-hole of a molasses barrel. To-morrow (Wednesday) L.K.Bacon, of Blaine, and Dollie Stonebraker, of Soldier, will be united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

J.D, Stonebraker. The groom is the oldest son of Hon. John M.Bacon, and has a host of friends here, in fact everybody likes Lute. He is a bright young man and will make his mark in the world. Miss Dollie is one of Soldier's best young ladies.

She is an earnest Christian lady, and is a great worker in the League and Sunday school. The church here will miss her but Lute will have an excellent companion one that understands the duties of the home as well as how to help in society and church work. We wish them well.

Even Hla Political Opponents De- scribe Xllaa sua av Ilninorltt wttla-the Eamarka of States nan-A Bible Stadent. There are those who class Champ Clark, of Missouri, among the humorists of congress. There are others who say he combines with a sense of humor certain statesmanlike qualities which ought to give him a high position as a leader in the house.

Clark himself is a good deal of a philosopher, and aspires to neither distinction as a leader nor fame as a wit. He is contented, apparently, to remain one of the most entertaining and interesting members of the lower branch of congress. When Clark first entered the house, in the Fifty-third congress, he was a great deal in evidence. He attracted attention by his originality and a flamboyant style of oratory thatkept the older men in smiles or gasping with astonishment. He was one of those of whom it was useless to make predictions, and he thrust himself upon the notice of the house on all sorts of occasions until it began to be a question whether he was to fee taken at all seriously or not.

Then he was defeated for reelection, and this seemed to have a sobering effect upon him. He has said that if he were to live a hundred years he would never recover from tho disappointment of that defeat, the discomfiture was so severe. The man who- beat him was a music-teacher, who was nominated in a tidal-wave j'ear with no expectation of election, and who, after he got through congress, never rose above mediocrity. When Champ Clark came back to the Fifty-fifth congress he was a different sort of a fellow, says the Washington Star. He had broadened and mellowed and had ideas on a -good many subjects that commanded respect both from political friends and opponents.

For one thing he was a great admirer of Tom Seed, and never hesitated HON. CHAMP CLARK. (Considered One of the Wits of the House of Representatives.) to express admiration for him, even in companies and under conditions where it was not to his personal advantage to do so. lie was fascinated with Reed's force, originality "and wit, and especially by the classic virility of his speech. Champ Clark professes to be a judge of congressional oratory, and he has said more than once that in his judgment Tom Heed is the best short speechmaker in the United States.

At times Clark tried to pattern his own style of oartory on that of the former speaker. He is one of the men who make a practice of studying the Bible purely for literary purposes, and be cause he knows that nothing is in ore effective with a popular audience than Scripture quotations or language which carries the Biblical mark. When in the heat of debate he never spares language or hesitates for an epithet. Champ Clark tells in an interesting way how it happened that he came to be such a student of the Bible. His father was a deeply religious man, but Champ, as a boy, would have nothing to do with that sort of thing.

One day, however, he happened to run across Patrick Henry's oration in the house of burgesses, beginning: "It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope." One sentence in the speech especially struck the youthful fancy: "The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong." He told his father how much he liked the speech and how much he was im pressed with that sentence. His father took him down by remarking: "King Solomon wrote that sentence, and if you will read the Bible you will find a great many others equally good." So just from curiosity. Champ began to read the Bible, and has kept, it up ever since. Champ Clark is 50 years of age. He Was born March 7, 1850, and he looks younger than his years.

He has a smoothly shaven face beaming with good humor, ne is one of the most companionable men in the house.

At ballooning school of the British army at Aldershot no less than a hundred women are at times put to work making- balloons. Every one of them is either the wife or daughter of a soldier.

The material used for balloons is not oil silk, as was formerly the case. Instead the big intestines of oxen are employed on acoonnt of their lightness, toughness and other qualities. The pieces are not more than a loot square, and these are patched together neatly. Three or four thicknesses of "skin" are combined. To make a full sized balloon in this man- MODERN ARMY BALLOON.

(How It Is Inflated and Released In Time of Actual War.) ner it is said that no less than 75,000 head of cattle are needed. The balloon costs about $5,000. One great advantage of this material is that it holds the gas better than oil silk does. Heretofore the aeronaut has been greatly bothered by the leakage of his gas to such an extent that a charge could be relied upon only a day or two, or at best only two or three days, without a considerable addition to it. But it is said that a well-made balloon of the modern style will keep its charge or a month or more without sensitive diminution.

Moreover, if an enemy's shot should puncture the balloon while aloft the wounds will close and the leakage will be small. A severe fire is necessary to disable the thing. The gas for inflating an army balloon Is compressed into cans or tanks, and th-as carried ready made by wagons to the field. When one of these cans, or cylinders, has been carefully tested and then filled It will hold its contents for years. A wagon load of cylinders may then be hauled to the scene of action and the empty bag filled on short notice.

When employed In scouting service a balloon is held captive by a wire rope that is wound and unwound from a windlass. There Is a separate wire from the basket to the ground for telephonic or telegraphic purposes, so that the signal officers in the balloon can communicate their observations to headquarters promptly. bat have eotuKtmer fur theta l'' Eta. hL'PtirWD itr ezariuS" MliA fr-ttg AH CAS2XACX AXS) TXIEX 11U J.
