ated by the third party in preference to
TO another and better man became, his op-
ponent-loaned money at per cent inter

went him one better, by taking not only
interest but the principal, too. Chalfant
probably knows whereof he speaks, as
Lawrence is the home of the third party
leader
Brother Branscombe-the would be
apostle of all the virtues-says that the
reason he turned his poor old father in
law out OF doors-after having cheated
him out OF his last dollar-was because the
old man was in the habit of getting drunk
and using proiane language IN the pres
ence of his childreni THIS would not be
u good and sufficient reason for treating
the old gentleman as he did, even were
1t true, but beinG false
hood made out of perfectly sound pro-
hIbItion cloth, the act is doubly mean and
despicable. The simple truth is that his
fsther-in-law, Mr.. Taylor, is q perfect
gentleman and neither drinks or swears.
He Is an exceedingly kind-hearted, quiet
and vlrtuous man, who has lived q long
and innocent life, his only greatest fault
being that he placed too much confidence
in the honesty of his American son. in

observer, as If Brother Branscombe-be-
sides his legitimate business as candidate
for governor-was trying to out-rival
Satan as liar and a champion of monu-

whitewash him and deodorIZe him as
much as they please, but they can never
cover up his meanness or make il smell
like a Christian act. Neverl

KANSAS CITY Star: Since Henry
George has BEEN nominated for mayor of
New York the capitalists have come to-
gether and nominated for mayor Mr..
Summons, who is to represent capital
against labor. Capitalists could not have
acted more unwIsely. In this instance
they did not exhibit their usual sagacity
and proceeded as though blIndfolded. In
what sense can the capital class candidate
be In any way more commendable to the
public than the labor class candidate ?

POOR BRANSCOWBE

Elder Lott, candidate for congress for
this district on the third party ticket, in q
conversation with the editor of this paper
stated that he had written to the chairman
of the executive committee of this party
that he would under no circumstances
support such . man as Mr.. Branscombe
for the position Of governor Of the state
or any other Office, and demanded that he
be Withdrawn from the head of the ticket.
Mr.. Lott claims that the explanation
given by the committee is very lame and
unsatisfactory, and that as q Christian he
cannot conscientionlY support any man
for office against whom such charges are
pending in court of justice, and where 1t
is SO perfectly evident that there lie some
thing IN the charges.

meet on next Monday evening in Topeka.
The following is an abstract from q clrcu-
lar issued by Grand Secretary s. F. Bur-
dette:
"Grand Instructor Krebs has arranged
with the Atchison and Leavenworth de
gree teams for the presentation of the
door work of the several degrees before
the grand lodge. at its annual session, to
be held Oct. 18th; the initiatorY and first
degrees to be presented by the Atchison
team, the second and third degrees by the
Leavenworth team; the whole to be under
the special supervision and direction OF
Brother J. l.. Mackenzie, ''exemplIfier of
l. y. o. r. team work" who has so sue
cesstuliy introduced the new and beauti-
full method OF exemplification of the de-
gree work in various lodges in this juris-
diction.
To those who have never seen the new
work, and whose only knowledge Of the
degree work Is the tame, insipid and crude
manner in which il hiss heretofore been
performed, the work Will prove an inter
esting revelation, as the hidden beauties of
Ihe degrees are fully brought out in ORA

ONE of Pullman's chAmbermaids, as
sleeping car porters are termed, has been
letting the cat out of the bag in the pres
ence Of st. Louis reporter. He confesses
that the Pullman company would make
itself popular by paying ITS porters fair
wages instead Of permitting them to fleece
the public. 1t appears that there Is 9
sliding scale paid porters, and it all de-
ponds upon ''the run" Says the porter
in question: ga man running between
ST. Louis and Chicago, for instance, is
given say $40 month. he Is sure of o
full car, and each passenger means to him
twenty-five cents. Take Q car on the
Southern line, where the palace coaches
are not patronIzed much, and you Will
find the porters getting from $40 to $50 q
month, because that is all they have 10
depend upon. The company does not
say that the price of q berth is $3.50 q
night, but It Is an awful small man that
would fail to give the porter his quarter

To-Day,s Doings.

At an early hour this morning the
the clouds began to gather in the sky and
by nine O'Clock heavy drops of rain came
spIsshing down, soaking up the dust and
turning the gay streamers and Gags over
the city to limp and fluttering rags In
spite OIL the increasing downfall of ram
the cars and hacks running to the camp
grounds were filed with people going
down to see what there was of interest on
grounds. About halt past ten
THE MUFFLED BOOM
of the artillery sounded from the camp
ground west OF headquarters, and through
the mingled smoke and RAIN the boys of
battery B were seen unlimberlng their
guns and preparing for action. Upon in
quiTy it was learned that the enemy had
made a sortie on the W. r. G. tent and
carried of some ham sandwiches. How
ever, after few shots the guns were with
drawn and the skirmish line that
had been thrown out retired
and took dinner. About one O'Clock
few scattering shots were heard and the
picket line fell back, letting the sklrmlsh-
ers advance, followed by the support.
Soon, with Yell, the enemy broke from
the cover of the woods and opened sc
we're fire on the ranks of the defenders OF
the camp, which was returned with effect,
and the two armies advanced >, 2Efing.
Thus desperate conflict was maintained
for few minutes. during which neither
side wavered. Then, as If to take breath and
and let the smoke roll away, the troops
fell back and the ambulances gathered up
the wounded, conveying them to the hos
pital. Scarcely had the cloud of battle
risen when the defenders began TO advance
and opened amurderous fire on the enemy
who wavsred for moment, but
cheered on by the bravery OF the officers,
advanced slowly with unbroken ranks and
it looked for little while as if they would
be able to resist the oncnmlng wave OF
steel and lead. The encounter was des-
perate one. UDfllnchInglY the officers
dashed into the thickest of the fray, and
the men fought on one hand with the
grim desperation of despair and on the
other with the heroic feeling that the
welfare of the city and the camp was in
their hands. So, inch by inch, the enemy
fell back until routed, and, almost anihi-
lated, they fled to the cover Of the woods.
Thus terminated the battle, in a man
ner that reflects great credit on the her.
oism and endurance of the troops engaged
on either side. for the field of conflict was
a veritsble mud-puddle ere the struggle
ended, and. though the wounds were few
on the persons, the mud and mire be-
smeared uniforms told sad tale of the
hardly contested field.
With the contest ended, the great re-
union came to a termination. alt4ough
there were still many of the boys on the
grounds all day until evening, as if 10th
