Last night the Casino was a scene of con
siderable excitement Oicer Demorsct had
received instructions from police headquar-
tcrs to be on the lookout for certain parties.
The officer imagined he saw one of them
enter the Casino and proceeded 70 follow him
into the hall. Tom O'ISrien, who was acting as
.doorkeeper, seeing the officer approach
stopped him and, in language not at all
in keeping with the usage of polite
society, dared the officer to enter. Demorset
being in the execution of his duty drew his
revolver and told O'Brien to stand aside and
let him PISS. For few minutes great ex-
citement prevailed and it was feared
that stampede might result
OBren, however, stood aside and
allowed the officer TO enter. Threats
were made against the officer by O'I}ricn, and
it was announced that formal report of his
conduct will be made to police headquarters.
The Casino has caused the police great deal
Of trouble lately.

evening, November is, President George II.
Kean presiding. The meeting was a good
one and well attended Secretary Il. v.
Woodson reported that several additional
firms and their statesmen had signed the
constitution and bylaws within the past
week. The interest in the idea promulgated
by the union is fast spreading, and from pres
ent indications the time is not far distant
when every firm and every salesman
making Kansas City his headquarters, will
be member of the society. 1t is the intcu-
tion of the society to rent rooms TO be used
as club rooms for the purpose of strengthen
ing the social features of the association,
The meeting last night was informal and
devoted to the discussion of the objects of
the order and the benefits to accrue there
from. One good effect is the enlargement of
the acquaintance of the members with their
fellow craftsmen, many of the travelling
statesmen being unaquainted with others in
the same line of business until introduced at
the meetings.
The best Of feeling prevails among travel.
ing men, generally and tine desire TO become
