From the Lawrence Daily World for June 28, 1906: “The U.S. House today took the Senate bill providing for a lock canal across Panama and passed it without debate. The bill now needs only the signature of President Roosevelt. : There is an unusually good brand of harmony prevailing in Republican ranks in Kansas this year. Not long ago, the politicians were mad at each other and secretly hoping that a number of their candidates for office would be defeated. That has changed a great deal. : There is great concern about the local girl, 15, who apparently ‘ran away with the circus’ after its recent visit. It appears several other girls were planning to do the same until their parents intervened in time.”
