evening TINES man met n. ID.
Maher, the superintendent of the
Clinch Valley division of the Norfolk
and Western. Mr.. Maher was at one
time resident of this city and chief
clerk of General Manager Sands
Office. He is fine looking man and
looks like a twin brother of Manager
Beckner of the opera house. He is a
nephew of the famous James p. Barr,
for many years editor of the Pitts
burg Post. 1t will be remembered
that Barr was editor of the Post dur
ing the war. 1t was the only Demo
cratic newspaper in Western Penn

was destroyed three times by mob:
Mr.. Barr was shot at any number OF
times, ahd one of the relics OF those
troublous times preserved by the
family is an old white beaver hat with
seven bullet holes through the crown.
And he was wearing it when they
went through, too.

WICHITA CoNsIsroRY S. p. R. s.

The closing exercises of the Scottish
Rite Masonic reunion last night were OBJ
served with more than usual interest for
such occasions. The ceremonies of con
ferring the thirty-first and thirty-second
degrees closed the labors for the reunion.
The following named persons received the
thirty-second degree: NJ w. Levy,
Thomas G. Fitch. Abraham b. Wright, Z.
f. Bleckley, of Wichita; H. NJ. Walt, of
Newton; Lyman Johnson, and Ed. G..
Irwin, of Winfield.
Wichita consistory is the largest body of
the Rite in Kansas, and numbers 10 men,
bers. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite bodies, consisting of the Lodge of
Perfection, chapter of Rose Croix, Coun-
Gil Knights Kadosh and consistory, were
organized and chartered IN the autumn of
1887. with twelve charter members, and
shows an increase in three years of ninety
eight members. Wichita never does
things by halves. The attendance of
members of the rite from other cities in
Kansas and those from other states shows
the deep interest that is taken
in these reunions, as well as
the estimation in which Scottish Rite
Masonry is regarded by those who have
passed through its imposing and elaborate
ceremonies, which are very impressive; es-
pecially in the Judges Hail." SAT the
Mausoleum," and on the Probationary
Journey" After the labors were closed
the brethren present were invited into the
banquet room to partake of refreshments
at the grand banquet prepared by Bros.
Goldberg and Stocker After the repast a
season of speeches and music appropriate
to the occasion was the order of the even
ing. This convocation was one of the
most enjoyable ones ever held in the his
tory of Wichita consistory. The visitors
from abroad were unanimous in saying
that Wichita is the place to come for a
real social and enjoyable time. The ad
dresses were full of humor and good feel
ing, and all who participated will not
soon forget the occasion.
Brethren present as follows: James H.
Dodge, Milwaukee, Wis; i. B. Yerxa,

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BANQUET AND
PRESENTATION

When the members of Wichita Division
No u. r. h. of p. learned that they
were to lose the companionship of their
worthy brother, Capt. S. F. Hotchkius,
! they quietly resolved to show by slight
token the high regard felt for him and his
estimable lady by his brother knights
Accordingly through a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose handsome silver
epergene was selected as a present, and
last evening set as the time for making
the presentation. The matter was kept
from the knowledge of Capt. Hotchkins
until the moment arrived when he should
be made the recipient of the stand.
After the regular meeting OF the Division
Capt. and Mrs. Hotchkins and the latter's
mother, Mrs. Walker, were invited to at
tend banquet in the hall in the Getto
building.
When all was in readiness, at a signal
the presentation committee. brought for
ward the epergene, which bore the follow
ing inscription: Presented to Capt. and
Mrs. S. +. Hotchkius by Wichita Division,
No 2, L. K. X. of p
Ed O'Brien made the presentation
speech, which was in his best vein and
voiced the sentiments of every knight
present.
Capt. Hotchkins replied on behalf of
himself and wife, and expressed himself as
so taken by surprise as to be unable to put
his feelings into language, but gave the
boys to understand that they would one
and all always occupy warm spot in his
heart and memory.
After the repast Toast Master Otto Eek
stein proposed a number of toasts which
were responded to by various members
and among which were the following:
To the toast: The Knights of Pythias
in the Alliance" w. S. Morris was called
to answer, which he did to the enjoyment
of all present
c. a. Van Ness answered to THE sue
cess of the May meeting"
The Ladies of the knight of Pythias"
was replied to by John w. Adams
The experiences of a newly married
man" was assigned to B. L. keenan,, who
tackled the subject bravely, and was
roundly applauded at the close.
Discipline of a X. of z. when visiting
neighboring towns" was answered by j.
+. Bennett
The banquet closed near the small hours
and everyone who had the pleasure of be-
ing present will remember the occasion as
long as memory lasts.
Capt Hotchkins and family move to
Fort Worth, Tex, within a few days The
Captain will represent the Bandera Flag
stone company in the state of Texas.

DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED.

Mr.. W. L. johnson startled the natives
in the vicinity of his drug store at the
Carey yesterday. 1t was another case of
did not know it was loaded" He was
affectionately handling a revolver and
talking to it in voluptuous tones. In a
moment his companion commenced to
talk back, and from the ring it was at
once concluded that the advances of Mr..
johnson were scarcely encouraged The
result was johnson had one hand burned
and some sundries were perforated, while
the glass in a show case showed the route
a safe stopped the bali and before it got
another start it was tied down.
twas at first reported that Mr.. Johnson
had killed himself by mistake, but his
partner, DR.. Cox. says the vicinity IS not
having that kind of luck.

prison two years ago for term of fifteen
years, was released last Sunday, an uncon-
ditional pardon having been granted upon
the recommendation of the Board OF

into the case and were convinced that Mr..
Gates was improperly convicted and UNI

SIZE THAT CALL.

A call from business men and property
owners, to business men and property
owners, will be found elsewhere on this
page. For a long time the long headed
men of this city have seen the necessity for
Wichita's control of the grain output of
this valley, and the advantage to both city
and country of a market and storage facil-
ties here, great and strong enough to re-
ceive and handle all the millions of bush
els of corn and wheat end oats that
will naturally flow TO this point. Such an
opportunity is now ours. How long the
the opportunity will hold good is not
known, but it comes in the shape of a
proposition which must be accepted prac-
tically Immediately, or go over for one or
more years, for the reason that the work
of construction would have to commence
at the earliest possible day in order to be
ready to take care of the coming crop of
wheat, which promises so enormously
With the present prospect Wichita cannot
afford to have this immense and far reach
ing interest postponed, even for single
year, and even if at the end of that time
the elevators and store houses could be
had for nothing. The cash outlay for
what is planned will be little short of two
hundred thousand dollars, but the addi-
tional trade and extra advantages which
would accrue to the various interests Of
the city would probably be equal to such
sum in a single season. Wichita, how
ever, nor her people are not asked to build
or TO take any chances in the proposed in
vestment worth naming, nor yet to pro-
vide for or to guaranty any of the millions
of money that it will take 10 handle the
grain that would be sent to this market
next year. The matter of location and
other details and incidentals ought to be
settled and disposed of by the property
holders who are called to meet at the
Board of Trade rooms this afternoon, in
twenty minutes after the matter has been
stated Remember the hour and be
prompt.

Some Of the business men are holding to
the idea that if the paved streets were
sprinkled less and less TO the point Of no
sprinkling at all it would be much better
for the streets. 1t is recalled that where
ever the street is not sprinkled the pave
ment is not covered with mud or dirt.
