Bender the Nebraska football wonder has signed a base ball contract with Little Rock for next season, and Nebraska has been a little uneasy ever since about the effect it will have on their team next spring. Bender means as much to them in base ball as on the gridiron. But as he has accepted no salary but has merely sighed a contract for the future, it is thought that it will not hurt his amature standing.
STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

Part of the business to come before this meeting will require a majority vote of all stockholders, hence a large attendance will be necessary. Some very interesting questions are to come up.
TOPEKA LETTER.
Practically all the members went home over Sunday. The most of them feel that they must devote some time to their private affairs. They were anxious enough to come here but they also want to keep their home affairs in shape so that they can make a living.
The most important bill up for consideration so far this session has been the franchise bill offered by Mr. Hackney. Since the LaHarpe decision the cities of the second class have been in a precarious condition. However that will be remedied at once and the mayor and council will have the authority the people always supposed they had to control the streets and alleys.
There is a diminution of place hunting. Of course there are a few persistents hanging around but the majority have gone home. It took some time to adjust the members to the new order of things. It was hard for a member whose district had four places two years ago, not to be able to get one this year. He was afraid it would cripple his influence. Members are mightily afraid of what the home folks say. That is, most of them are, Mr. Haackney is not. In this connection I want to tell an old story about Col. Haackney which is illustrative of the man. In the boom times he built a fine business block in Winfield and in the exuberance of his pride he put his initials, "W. P. H." on the centerpiece at the top on an elaborate emblem. After the boom broke and such things became monuments of folly, an Englishman visited Winfield and was being shown the sights. Col. Haackney showed him his big building and 1st him admire it in silence. The Englishman looked long at and then said, "Col. Haackney ah, doneherno, that is a deeeded fine building but what in the deuce does W. P. H. stand for on the top where the British Lion ought to be?" "That," replied the famous citizen, "stands for 'William Played Hell.'" He has not played any in the Legislature but there has been great fear lost he have an outbreak and if he does the china will be broken.
The new members who knew so much at first know a good deal less now and are much less in evidence. These fellows had figured on coming to Topeka and running things from the start. They found some heavy weights perched upon the throttle and they would not allow anything to be moved. The new members may get together later and do something for themselves but so far the old fellows have had things pretty much their own way. This has been true because they have not abused their power.
Stubbs is not in the chair much but he has his finger on the business of the house. 'He has a smile for every body but he is business all of the time and goes on the theory that the least work of the speaker is to preside. He can afford to leave the chair when such a man as Judge Clark takes it.
There are of course too many bills before the Legislature but most of them are local. There ought not to be so much local Legislation, the people ought to live under general laws. The committee on judiciary is going to take up the collateral inheritance bill this evening. This bill is designed to help the University and harm no one. As the state has to appropriate just so much money anyway it really does not make much difference into which fund this money goes. The state Agricultural college has an endowment of $65,000 and the state normal has something like $20,- 000 while the state University has only $7,500.
The bill before the Legislature giving the title of the islands in the rivers to the state University was prepared by the attorney general. The title had to be vested somewhere and the attorney general thought the University was as good a place as any. Dr. Glaseock, a most valuable member, is pushing the medicinal school bill and he believes it will be passed. No opposition has developed for it so far. It does not carry an appropriation.
Nothing definite has as yet been done on a tax bill but serious consideration is going to be given one. Also the elections committee is expected to report a primary election law that will meet the requirements. Much anxiety attends the action of this committee as every man with political aspirations is holding them in abeyance until this committee and some law is enacted. The platform pledges it and the people demand it but the politicians will have to make a readjustment when the bill passes. Every man is careful now not to have a boom for anything until this matter is disposed of.
The Price raid claims interest a good many Lawrence and Douglas county people. It is hard to forecast what will be done about these claims. They ought to have been paid long ago but for some reason they are not receiving serious attention. The last Legislature by a make-shift spent $5,000 to shove them off onto this one and now it is up to an economical Legislature to make a big appropriation to pay them off. The claims are just and ought to be paid but I would not advise anyone having a claim to contract any meat bills on the strength of having them paid this session.
The ways and means committee of the senate will take up the University appropriations on Wednesday night The University has been asked to make its showing on that night. It will do so.
TO RESUME ATHLETIC RELATIONS WITH NEBRASKA.
Prominent students have been very active during the past week working up sentiment in favor of resuming athletic relations with Nebraska if any sort of terms honorable to Kansas can be arranged with the Corn husker association. A petition has been circulated this week which will be presented to the athletic board, urging it to take steps in this direction.
Nebraska and Kansas are logical opponents, and there is no reason for cherishing petty spite and declaring everything off.
We ought to have debate as well as athletic contests with Nebraska, and its up to Kansas to make the overtours.

The student of men and measures finds much to occupy his mind in the revolutionary movements which are in progress. And the Russian peasantry revolution is not the only one of importance, either. We have forces at work in our own country that are as revolutionary in their character as are the slavonic disturbances. Not that they are bloody or anarchistic in any sense, for they are not. But the astounding disclosures of boodle and corruption that have been made all over the country mingled with the universal demands for purer government, bespeak an inevitable conflict between the two forces. Upon the decision of this problem depends the future of the United States in her relation to the world. If America remains strong within, she will some day be the leader of the world. University students can well afford to give a little time to the consideration of such matters as these, for as the public speaker is want to say, "Upon them depends the future of the state and of the nation."
