The result of the state oratorical contest in the selection of Cyrus Crane, of the State University, as the representative of Kansas at the inter-state meeting at Lawrence in May, is universally commended. Mr. Crane is a representative student of a representative college of Kansas and the states embraced in the inter-state contest. He is a thorough collegian, a young man of fine ability as a thinker, with progressive ideas and especial oratorical graces and power. Kansas may well fell proud to rest her honors in the coming event in the person of her representative young son.—Topeka Journal.
The following is the Emporia News' version of the oratorical contest:
At the State oratorical contest held in Topeka last evening, the first place was given to the contestant from the State University, the second place to Baldwin's man, the third was given to Washburn's orator, the fourth to the lady from Ottawa, the fifth was captured by the State Normal, and the sixth place was occupied by the Presbyterian college. Report has it that the judges played a game of draw poker to decide the contest, and if so, the man who was playing for Emporia held a bob tailed flush. In regard to the statement we made last evening regarding Emporia's contestants winning the first prize, we will simply state it was one of those little errors which will creap into newspaper work in spite of all one may do to prevent it.
The first number of Illustrated Southern Kansas, published by E. F. Caldwell, has reached our table. This is, as the title page announces, an industrial publication, devoted to the history and development of the towns and counties of Kansas. It is illustrated by numerous engravings, and contains a concise and interesting history of Harper and Barber counties. This is by far the most elaborate work which Mr. Caldwell has undertaken, and is a complete success. The ready pen and elastic imagination secured by the editor in college journalism are well adapted to this kind of work.
Prof. Canfield has received letters from the president of the National Teachers' Association, which will meet in Topeka the coming summer, as regarding the railroad rates that have been secured. The following are the rates: Boston to Topeka and return,$41; New York to Topeka and return,$39; Chicago to Topeka and return,$14; St. Louis to Topeka and return,$9. All roads in Kansas will give half rates, while excursions will be run to Denver at very low rates, less than half, but just what has not yet been determined. Excursions will be run from Denver to various points, in Colorado and the adjoining territories.

The Pharmacy Examining Board met in this city March 16th, 1886. The board is composed of some of the ablest druggists in the state, and they are men, who without exception, believe in elevating their chosen profession. Mr. W. C. McPike of Atchison, is the proprietor of the largest wholesale drug house west of Chicago. Mr. Brown of Leavenworth, is proprietor of the chemical works at that place and is known all over Kansas. The other members of the board are men of high standing in their profession.
At a meeting of the board of regents of the University last week, an appropriation of $700 was made to finish the basement of the chemical building for the use of the department of pharmacy. It is estimated that $500 additional will be required to finish and properly equip the rooms, but it is thought the board of pharmacy will give this. An examination in Greek and Roman history was added to the requirements for admission to the Freshman class. An attachment to the large lantern used in illustrating subjects before the classes in natural philosophy, was ordered at a cost of $50.
