with a pair of horses; beyond this is a train of ox-wagons, going west; in
the background is seen a herd of buffalo, retreating, pursued by two
Indians, on horseback; around the top is the motto, "Ad astra per aspera,"
and beneath a cluster of thirty-four stars. The circle is surrounded by the
words, "Kansas House of Representatives".
(b) The seal of the house of representatives shall be kept in the office
of the speaker of the house of representatives and used in attestation of
official documents of the house of representatives and for such other
purposes as approved by the speaker.
