The coming annual meeting of the state board of agriculture promises to be very interesting and profitable. Among the noted speakers will be ex-Gov. Furnas, I. A. Fort and R. M. Allen, prominent agriculturists of Nebraska. Republicans are claiming that Kansas will have one elector for McKinley for the reason that George T.

R. reunion grounds at Ellsworth will revert to the state if the recommendations of the G. A. R. department committee are accepted by the legislature.

One of the ballots taken out of the box at Arkansas City had written across the face of it: "I don't know how to vote this ballot, but I want to vote the straight republican ticket. Fix it up yourselves." After long discussion the judges counted the ballot on the theory that it came within them meaning of the law which provided for the counting of ballots "which clearly showed the intention of the voter." If this view should be sustained by the courts the process of voting in Kansas will be vastly simplified. The equal suffragists of Kansas, in convention at Topeka last week, re-elected Mrs. Kate Addison president Mrs. Fannie Babbitt, of Winfield, was elected vice-president; Mrs. Baird, of Eureka, and Miss Gregg, of Garnett, secretaries; Mrs. Laura M. Johns, member national committee; Mrs. Wardall, Mrs. Waite, Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Addison delegates to the national association. It was voted to ask the legislature to enact a law requiring the appointment of two women on the state board of charities. State Superintendent-elect Stryken has appointed J. W. Amis, of Smith
