While doing this it relieves the lodge of which a deceased brother was a member from much of the burdsa of caring for the widow and ed nesting the orphan, by supplying to them a sufficient sum to set them upon their feet and ena bling them to become Belf-supportinflr. In some instances during the past year if this duty had been left to be discharged by the local lodge, the bereaved ones would nave had added to their grief the pangs or nunger, or else the lodges upon whom the burden tell would have been impoverished by carrying it "Measure if you can in dollars and cents the value of the courage that has been given to the nerveless arms, the fainting hearts, the broken spirits of be reaved widows by the $33,000 paid bv this association during the past twelve months, before you place upon it the seal of your condemnation.

Canton ichita marched upon the drill grounds and executed every movement in the manual, sixty in number, and made a very creditable drill, in spite of the uneven condi tion of the ground. The judges were General a.

A. 1 -m leaving cneir gueBts 10 stand aoout wallflowers. Le Roy Reporter. We fear the Le Roy Reporter man is not as accustomed to "receptions" as he might be. His idea of a reception seems to be that the party receiving goes off and sits in the gallery or somewhere while the guests walk around looking for those in whose honor the reception is given.

Etiquette requires that at a reception the gentlemen receiving stand where they can greet and shake bands with the passing throng. The next time the Le Roy Reporter man comes to a reception, special pains will be taken to give him a seat, in the gallery, or wherever he desires. A sugab brokeb from Louisiana was in the city this week canvassing for busi ness. He made a tour of the groceries and became disgusted. He called at this office and said that Kansas was being fooled on the sugar question; that Kansas sugar at its best was only "half sweet;" that "a strong sweet could not be raised under a cold sun." Incidentally he let drop the remark that he bad found that the Topeka grocers were all carrying the Kansas sugar in stock and seemed sweet on it, as it were.

We do not think the Louisiana 6Ugar broker ever visited Kansas in July or he would be a trifle back ward about thrusting forward his obser vation concerning a strong sweet under a ould sun. Goodbye Mr. Louisiana, keep a sharp look out for a Kansas drummer down in your country next year with samples of the best sugar on earth, grown under the cold suns of Kansas. These is presented to-day in this paper an interesting item of news, connected with the resignation of Gen. Chalmers obtained through au interview with Col.a J.

M. Brown, the candidate on the republican ticket for county clerk of Shawnee county. A STRIKING COINCIDENCE. How General Chalmers Gets a Taste of His Own Medicine. "The enforced resignation of General Chalmers, nominee for governor of Mis sissippi on the republican tioket, is but a repetition of history and retribution.

said Colonel John M. Brown to a Jour nal reporter to-day. "Fourteen years ago, on the 5th day of October, the very day of the month on which General Chalm ers made his withdrawal I was forced to leave Cahoma county, Mississippi, because I was a candidate for sheriff on the republican ticket General Chalmers was then the lender of the mob which threatened my life, terrorized the negroes and white republicans and maintained bourbon supremacy. General Chalmers wis the originator of the shotgun polioy in Mississippi and the south. He wa the leader of democratic mobs and riots for years.

When he finally became disgust ed with the villainy, he abandoned the party and became as radioal a republican as he had been a bulldozing bourbon. He now gets a taste of his old medicine I have nothing against General Chalmers personally now. He was sincere, I think, in his profession of a change of heart and he has been a consistent republican and an outspoken one since he renounced the shotgun polioy, but the coincidence in circumstances and dates is remarkable. The southern democrats have always de clared that the shotgun policy was neces sary to suppress two things the carpet baggers aud the negroes. As Chalmers is neither a carpet-bagger nor a negro, I wonder now what excuse they will make lor terrorizing him.

The matrimonial mania continues. Be fore 9 o'clock this morning the probate court had supplied the following ladies and gentlemen with the necessary license to wed: Edward Parson and O. S. Brig-ham, agea 60 and SO; John W. Pearce and Jane Davis, ages 40 and SO; George Olson, of Buffalo, N.

and Minnie Ropers, ages 23 and 21; Arthur Harris, of Grinnell, Iowa, and Minnie B. Deven- dorf, ages 25 and 23. Police Judge Searle, who is local agent tor the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur ance company, lost several premium rate books on Kansas avenue yesterday. He will be glad if the finder will return the books to the police court room and as a reward, will assure him unusual leniency if he is ever so unfortunate as to be brought before that temple of justice.

Topeka was accordingly deciarea as me nexs place of meeting. i fry Ham wood, in ror lupws as the best Dlaoe for holding the next errand lodcre session, said that Horton and Limed were too small, ana mat as Leavenworth had depopulated 14,000 in the past year, indications pointed to a general evacaation by 1890, which would make a grand lodge meeting there impos- fiihla. He farther said that it was as natural for a man to come to lopeka as it is for water to run down hill, and hat everybody came to the capital to go either to the legislature, the insane asylum or other popular places of interest. A motion to remove tne grand eeoreta ry's office to Topeka for an indefinite time and within the next sixty days was laid on the table.

The reoorts of the committee on char ters and laws were read and adopted. The committee on legislation made various reports, which were read and adoDted. The committee on legislation made a lengthy report relative to changes in the Rsbekah order, whioh would practically Dlaoe the laws of that part of the order outside the pale ot tne urand ljodge, and gives the Bebekahs control ot tneir own lodge. Action on the question was postponed at first and subsequently rejected. The right of a minority to make a committee report created the warmest discus sion of the session and took up a couple of hours of the time.

The matter was finally referred back to the committee on legislation with instructions to report a law wmon win mase minority reports en trible in the Grand Lodge. The committee on judiciary made a re port sustaining the grand master deci sion in a case at variance, whioh was sub mitted and approved. Several queries pertaining to matters of interest to the order were put into the question box and settled by the grand lodze. Upon resolution the grand instructor and his assistants were granted mileage and per diem for their services and they were placed on the pay list. A motion was passed to have a com mittee of three visit the Rsbekah lodge in the name of the grand lodge.

A resolution was adopted making the fiscal year end with August 31, hereafter. THB EVENING BE3SION. The evening session opened at 7:30 p. Grand Master Kiddle presiding. It was resolved to reconsider the vote which made the per capita tax 90 cents for the next year.

The per capita tax was then made 60 cents, after a warm discussion. The secret or unwritten work was then given by Grand Representatives J. McMillan, of Wichita, andD. B.Long, of Ellsworth. Various committees presented reports that were adopted after lengthy debate.

The grand secretary was upon motion instructed to present to the grand mas ter and other grand officers and the heads of committees with a copy of White's digest, and to sea that each care fully preserve these copies. It was resolved on motion that the bonds of the grand secretary and grand treasurer be made 810.0C0 each, and that these bonds be approved by the finance committee. The following change in the by-laws was adopted: "The price of cards shall be printed in the by-laws, but shall not be over 50 cents, except for visiting cards, which will be furnished at coet" The special committee on the enter tainment of the Sovereign grand lodge recommended that an executive commit tee of nine( be appointed by the grand master; whioh committee shall have power to appoint sub committees, make all collections and disbursements, etc The recommendation was adopted. A resolution of respect on the death of the late brother, John A. Martin, was passed unanimously.

A letter was read from the Santa Fe officials stating that thenignt trains were all overcrowded with harvest excursionists and would be weil for the delegates for their comfort, to remain over until to day. A change was made in the Funeral Benefit association adding the medical director to the board of directors. Amotion was passed making the grand secretary's salary $50 per year and al lowing him 9250 for clerk hire. The finance committee was, upon reso lution, ordered to present a schedule of salaries for the grand officers. The newly elected officers were then in stalled and the thirty-second session of the grand lodge declared closed.

Dispatches about railroad deals are now sent out in pairs, companion pieces as it were; the first dispatch gives the details of the affair and the second one says the whole thine is false. Electrical execution has at last been pronounced legal by the courts of New York and the murderer Kemmler will doubtless be the first man to depart this earth by artificial lightning. A dispatch from Hays Gity says: "Judge Ofiborn, of the Twenty-third district, is becoming a terror on the bench. Yesterday he discovered heavy overcharges in the fee bill of Sheriff MoLane, of Ellis county, and gave him a severe lecture in open court and cut down the bin over $600. The ministers blliance of Kansas City has at last taken steps to enforos the Sunday closing law, in which they will be backed by their congregations.

The ministers expect a long- and bitter fight, but they mean to keep it up until Kansas City is brought to a realizing sense of decency. The Lyon county papers record the death of one of the pioneers of the Neosho Valley, James O' Toole. He was a good farmer and cultivated a fertile tract of land near Neosho Rapids. He enjoyed the distinction of growing the corn which took the first prize at Philadelphia in the Centennial year. Hon.

A. W. Smith had on exhibition at theMcFherson county fair the finest span of driving colts in the state. Farmer 8mith allows no one to pass him when it comes to rural pursuits. In the political field aleo he generally drives a spanking team which manages to throw a good deal of dust in the eyes of the other fellows.

We are trying all sorts of prohibition in the west. There is South Dakota and Kansas with prohibition, and Nebraska between them with high license; Iowa, with prohibition, south of Minnesota, with high license and local option, and north of Missouri with almost free liquor and local option. Out of all these experiments the right way ought to come to light. The many friends of Hon. J.

J. Wright, of Emporia, member of the house of representatives from Lyon coun ty, learn with sorrow of the death of his estimable wife, a most exemplary wpman, who leaves to mourn her loss, a family cf children of rare good qualities of head and heart: a legacy of comfort to the af flicted husband and a reminder of the graces and goodness of a devoted mother and earnest helpmeet. The only view the German people will have of the czar of Russia when he visits their capital will be through telescopes. The populace are to be kept as faraway from him as possible for fear of bombs. If anyone should draw a lorgnette or an opera glass on him from an overlooking window, he would doubtless be arrested as a nihilist trying to set off an infernal machine.

The unparalleled number of marriage licenses issued yesterday is the subject of considerable comment. Twelve were issued before nine o'clock yesterday morning, and during the day sixteen couples seoured the legal papers for their union. A gentleman suggests that the reason of it all was because of the genera conviction that there were too many odd fellows in town and there ought to be an "evening up." The Farmers Loan and Trust Company of Anthony, Kansas, ia about to go into the hands of a receiver. The presi dent of this company is Edward H. Co nant of Boston, and the officials are lo cated at Antheny.

The nominal capital of the company is $250,000 only part of which is paid in. The details of the trouble in which the oompany is involved are yet to be made public, but the greatest difficulty has been encountered in get ting in the interest on loans. It seems a great waste for the fall raaneuvres of the United States troops to take place in the Indian territory near Arkansas City, where at best only a few thousand people can witness them. Of course the drilling is not intended for a public spectacle, but there is no reason why it should not furnish pleasure and instruction to the public without interfering with the good derived by the soldiers from the maneuvres. In order to do this the encampment should take place near a large city, Topeka for instance, where a hundred thousand spectators would be insured The gathering of several thousand regular solders would be the event of the year.

General Merritt desires the government to set aside ten miles square for the permanent encampment. How about the Pottawatomie reservation, a few miles north of Topeka? That offers abundant room convenient to four great railroads.
