me printed circular letter signed by
Master Workman Powderly commanding
that no more new assenblages of the

1 observed that the Beacon had a serious
grievance in the way Judge Glenn runs his
court. The Beacon man desires to have
certain hour announced when all cases shall
be tried in that court. 1t is alleged that
sinners are tried in that court all through
the day, which would neceasItate the pres
snce of the Beacon man there all day in
order to catch on to the racket. Friends.
Romans, countrymen. 1t is greyious
offense of the court and should be reformed.
l have had dealings with Judge Glenn as a
news grabber now about two years and
found he ran that thing 10 the satisfaction
of large majority of the public. /

and he said he would do the business at any
hour, provided the Beacon man would have
the prisoners on hand. Well, that is one
step in civil service reform that my august
contemporary has brought about, but the
thing amt complete yet. The great reformer
must make arrangements with those who
contemplate busting the law to do so early
in the day, SO that their cases can be dis
posed of in time for the Beacon to give the
whole thing away. In our ignorant days,
before We were favored with advice from big
city editors, the police would grab fellow
most any hour during the day that j; suited
his convenience TO commit crime, and
Judge Glenn would accommodate the fellow
with trial. But things have changed,
though the weather remains much the same.
/ met Fritz Schnitzler, who begins to look
very thin since the joints have been closed.
He told me he is putting his affairs in shape
to make a long visit to California. He has
an uncle out there who has no closer heirs,
and Fritz says he will honeyschmuggle the
old fellow, for, said he. lyon know we want
everything here in Kansas"
dropped into the Office of the Davidson
Loan company yesterday and found quite a
number of business men. They said they
were holding board of trade, but the stock
they were dealing in was real estate. Mr.. S.
L. Davidson said he had splendid farm for
sale but no one would make an offer for it.
but whenever a coroner lot was mentioned
everybody pricked up his ears. While ]
was there the talk turned on a new opera
house, and it was generally agreed tina. if
some one would move in getting up joint
stock company for really fine house,
the stock would be taken readily
and would pay good dividends. As for that
though, We have many business men who
possess the means TO build such house,
and it viii. no doubt be built this year. The
urgent need of good opesr house that
would command visits from frst-class
troups, is generally telt.
l met Mr.. Merrill, one Of the partners of
the wholesale paper house, in Mr.. David
sons office, and he told me that his partner
had already shipped three car loads of the
goods, which will be here next week, barring
the strike.

counted twenty-seven wagon loads of these
wanderers passing through town the last
two days, with the regulation number of
embryo statesmen, poets and yellow dogs.
The dogs weren't quite mad, that is in by
drophobial sense, but they were slightly an
gered.
l am in favor of sewerage, because many
contemplate erecting elegant brick blocks,
which ought to be provided with hydraulic
elevators and all the modern improvements
which they cannot have without sewerage
by which the water will be carried of.
l me: Mr.. Lou Aspey, who had just re-
turned from the grand encampment of the
/. o. o. f. at Leavenworth, where he was
a delegate from our local lodge. He says
the people of Leavenworth behaved nobly
by the encampment and that it was decided
by a large majority vote to hold the next
grand encampment of the order in this city.
This is one more feather in our bonnet for
next year, and makes four grand encamp-
Inents that will be held here next year, and
which will make our city gay for many
days.
The Odd Fellows, the A. o. U. W., the
Select Knights of the same order, the
Knight Templsrs and the Mssons, will all
hold their annual assemblies here.
Mr.. Aspey informed me that the Odd
Fellows of this city are TO have magnificent
military uniforms and that one branch of
The order viii be mounted, about one hun
dred strong, and will meet the visiting
lodges at the depot and escort them through
the city.
met DR.. Furley and a few others in front
of the Manhattan hotel and they were talk
inc of some of our large firms. Ore man
said that the Queen City clothing house
in Furley's block, is financially
the strongest firm in the city, and that they
are quoted at nearly million dollars Mr..
Bouion is the general agen. of this company
and Mr.. Hclton is the local manager. After
hearing such accounts of this concern / Wis
tied the establishment and found they have
very hesvy and complete stock of clothing
of quality and price TO suit all sorts of trade.
/ found Mr.. Holton a very agreeable gentle
msn, and a man Of fine business ability. The
south side of Douglas avenue is looming up
in business, and bids fair ere long, to rival
the north side. When the new pcs.offiee is
finished, and if the Santa Fe should build 8
depot south of the avenue, the travel that in
past years was slmos. entirely confined TO
the north side Of the street will be largely
diverted to the south side.
