Charles l. Cannon, grand lecturer
Knights of Reciprocity of the state of
Kansas, on Monday evening organized a
lodge of the order in this city with mem
bership of about twenty-five of our most
prominent citizens. Gen. Murray Myers
was chosen chief justice, Hon. O. H. Bent

II. Downing was chosen county lecturer.
We predict a bright success for the order
in this county, there being already numer-
Gus applications for membership and
arrangements for instituting branch
lodges in the several towns in the county
are already in progress.
The objects of the order are the educa-
ton of the masses to a higher plane
of citizenship and a more response

wOoDMAN OF THE WORLD.

The meeting of the order, the Woodman

pectations of even the members chiefly
engaged in the work of organization. As
was spoken of in yesterdays EAGLE, the
lodge already has the largest number of
charter members of any organization ever
formed in the city, and thirty-one new APP
plcants were initiated last night. The
total number is now over ninety and as
the charter is left open for a few days
longer it will be over 100 without doubt.

BE OF GOOD CHEER.

Yesterdays dispatches stated that the
grasshopper plague had appeared i'll the
vicinity of Findlay, Ohio. Seeing this, a
conference was held by a number of prom
inent and philosophical citizens of this
city and county, who resolved to respond
to the call for assistance if the good peo-
pie of the Buckeye state should find it
necessary to make such call, and in fur
therance of that resolve the following tele-
gram was directed to be sent, which was
done yesterday afternoon.
WICHITA, Kan, August II.
To the Mayor. Flndlay. o.
We see by dispatches that grasshoppers
are devastating your country. Be OF good
cheer; the abundant crops of Kansas is
enough for all. Sedgwick county will re-
spond to the distress call with train load
OF grain if needed. w. A. THOMAS,

A Cincinnati young man who is spend
ing his vacation at his old home in Peru
was somewhat surprised at the outcome OF
one of his jokes Sunday afternoon. he
stood at the depot in the midst of a large
crowd which had gathered to watch the
train loads of Detroit excursionists 90
through The Kansas G. A. r. train at
tracted much attention by the way in
which the veterans had decorated their
cars with wheat, corn and other products
of the fruitful soil of Kansas. The afore-
said young man has mad some painful ex-
perience in Kansas himself, and as he
looked at the bountiful display he ex-
claimed sarcastically ''All you need TO
complete the picture is a big green grass
hopper" A loyal Kansas young lady
thrust her head from a car window near
by and exclaimed Then why don't you
hop on" and the young man passed around
the cigars to the crowd of bystanders.
