Andsrson,s Ovation.

MANHATTAN, Kas., Aug. GA genu-
Inc Kansas ovation was rendered Jehn
A. Anderson on his arrival nome to-day.
It was spontaneous and enthusiastic and
was engaged in by all GLASSES, regardless
Of politics. Over q thousand people, in
Guiding the flAmbeau club, g. A. r. post
and band, met him at the depot and es-
corted him to his home. Tonight an
informal out door reception was given In
his honor. Prof. Fairchild, presi-
dent Of the State Agricultural college,
delivered the address OF welcome. He
spoke Of Mr.. Anderson as man, as
citizen, as q faithful officer, and as
Christian gentleman, whose life for
eighteen years had been under the clos
est scrutiny, and yet no neighbor had
ever been able to find one single flaw.
The address was cheered to the echo by
the thousands who filed the streets
Mr.. Anderson responded feelingly,
showing that he was deeply
touched by the demonstration.
Hon. W. W. Walton Of Clay Center and
Jason Yurann OF Blue Rapids followed
with short speeches, eulogizing the dis
tinguished citizen whose fame in not
confined to our city and county. The
speeches were all free from political al
lusions and the demonstration simply
emphasizes the claim made by Mr.. An
derson's friends that the purity Of his
home life, his unsel1sh devotion to his
friends, and his clean public records en-
title him to the respect and good will Of
his neighbors.

sion from the authorities at San Pablo, for
which ofense the company was fined and
