Of this association shall be entitled to
membership. And it is hereby agreed
that in the event Of an appropriation by
the Legislature for the reimbursement
Of those contributing to the fund herein
provided for, that such appropriation, If
any, be made to the treasurer Of said
county for the full amount advanced by
the members hereof, to be by him paid
over to the members Of this association
in such manner as the Legislature may
direct.
Art. 4. An executive committee of
three shall be appointed at the first
meeting.
Art. 5-voting. On Saturday, the 18th
day Of june, 1891, at p. M, the associa-
ton shall determine in what manner its
vote for the election of the board of man
ayers of the Kansas Columbian Exposl-
ton association, at Topeka, June 16, 1891,
shall be cast. In this determination
each member shall be entitled to one
vote for each dollar paid in or guaran-
teed. All subscriptions, guarantees and
payments not represented at said meet
ing in person or by written proxies shall
be voted by the executive committee.
By correspondence with the secretary
Of this bureau, parties can procure all
necessary blanks and information as to
forms of procedure.
The plan of work outlined by the con-
vention has the following distinct ad-
vantages, if promptly confirmed by the
people.
First-It gives the board Of managers
assurance of q definite and adequate
sum of money with which to prosecute
intelligently the work undertaken.
Second-It requests the people of each
county TO proceed in their own way to
raise the amout of money allotted to
such county.
Third-The prompt payment Of 10 per
cent Of the allotment will enable the
board of managers to commence at once
the needed collection of imperishsble ar
tlcles for the exhibit.
Fourth-It Is 80 flexible that counties
can be organized by school districts or
other governmental subdivisions, and
each locality be credited for good work
In good cause.
Fifth-It is comprehensive and so
thoroughly represents every county and
section Of the state in electing board of
managers, that local control Is impossi-
bic.
Our wheat and corn, our fruit and
garden production, our live stock, our
mines Of coal, salt, lead and zinc, the
product of our mills and factories, and
the results of our benefcent educational
system, all combine in the appeal to let
their merits and excellencles be made
known to the world.
United effort by the earnest men and
good women Of the state is imperitively
demanded by the necessities Of the situa-
tion. Kansas must make It's most versa
tile as well as the most interesting dis
play Of local production and natural re-
sources at the great exposition.
It Is fondly hoped that the plan sug-
gested by the convention will meet with

THAT TUG-OF-W VAR.
Everything in Readiness for the
Coming Struggle.
Meetings Yesterday Of the General
Committee and Team Captains
Four Nights of Tugging.

The Captains of the teams that are to
engage in the tug-of-war which begins
tomorrow evening at the Old Pavilion,
and will be managed by the Council of
Federated Trades, held meetings yester-
day. All reported that the men are pro-
crossing in their drjll-work, and each is
confident Of winning.
The General Committee of Arrange
ments met in the Pavilion yesterday
morning to hear the reports of all the
Captains, and also TO instruct them in
any of the unwritten rules.
Mr.. Francis of San Francisco, who
was assistant referee in the great inter
national contest there, was present and
gave the committee some valuable infor-
nation which he had gained by expert
ence.
DR.. C. B. Nichols, the referee, was also
present and proved himself more fully
acquainted with the rules and regula-
tlons than some members of the com
mittee.
G. II. Krebs and Mr.. Dunigan, the
judges, were also present, but owing to q
recent death in the family of the former,
he asked to be excused from acting. He
stated that under no other circumstances

pressed its regret, and Immediately ap-
pointed a committee to select judge
from two or three gentlemen whose
names had been proposed.
One remarkable feature of the meeting
was the confidence each Captain mani
tested in the ability of his team. They
ali claimed to have winning teams, which
fact proves that the contest is going to be
stubborn one. In the language of the
referee, MAY the best team VIM
The committee hopes that the spectators
Will keep as quiet as possible during each
contest. They recognize the fact that con-
siderable excitement viii prevail but
ask, in the interest of the ladies, the gen
tlemen to keep their seats, however ex-
cited they may get.
Mr.. Francis stated that in San Fran
CISCO the men became so carried away
that the managers had all they could do
to keep the audience from taking hold OF
the rope to help one or the other team.
Experts have examined the building,
ana reported it strong enough to hold 20,
600 people, If necessary.
The rope to be used is of the Manila
kind, one and one-quarter inches thick,
and is TO be stretched by two locomotives
to-day, SO that it may be in the proper
condition by being relieved of all its
elasticity
The Committee on Schedule reported
that it would be impossible to satisfac-
torily finish the contest in three days, so
the General Committee decided to con-
tinue the contest so as to include Friday
night.
The Captains of the several teams ex-
pressed much satisfaction to the commit
tee for having allowed each team a pei
cent. over a certain sum.
There being no further business, the
committee adjourned, to meet tonight al

HAGAL,S DESCENT
A Successful Balloon Ascension and
Parachute Jump.

a Successful Balloon Ascension and
Parachute Jump.
There was quite a throng of people at
Twenty eighth ana M streets yesterday
afternoon to see Professor Hagal in his
farewell balloon ascension and double
parachute drop.
Hagal had, in recent ascension, met
with an accident. and many people were
quite anxious yesterday regarding his
welfare, particularly when it was known
that he was about to try new expert
ment in the rigging Of his parachutes.
Considerable time was consumed in
| Initiating the big bag with hot air, and it
was close to 8 o'clock when everything
was in readiness for the ascension. The
upward dight of Hagal and his balloon
was beautiful one. The wind carried
them off somewhat to the north, but as
the air was crisp and chilly, the hot air in
the bag was given full scope to carry it
and its freight upward to a high altitude.
Hagal looked to be about the size Of a
! fly when he cut loose from the balloon.
He dropped like shot for some distance,
| and then the lower parachute opened and
checked his downward course. The
upper parachute was fractious for quite a
while and would not spread, but finally
| opened out nicely, making the balance OF
| the descent very pretty

It Came Very Near Ending the Life Of

Historic ''Bloody Corner''-Al-

was pretty we'll carved up last night by
little fellow named Peter Ylisalitueri.
The former was quite drunk, while the
latter did not appear, when arrested by
Officer Shook, to have been drinking.
The trouble occurred about half-past 10
o'clock on the sidewalk near Second and
II streets. 1t appears that Silva, his
brother Manuel and one or two of their
friends were walking in that vicinity,
when they met the young man with the
unpronounceable name. Silva left his
friends and said something TO Ylisslitueri,
and presently the latter went down, with
Silva on top OF him. The supposition is
that, as Ylisalitueri alleges, he was
knocked down by Silva.
W nile they Were struggling on the
ground i 4isalitueri got ont small but
sharp pocket-knite and made an effort 10
cut Silva's throat. His aim was not very
| accurate, however, and he missed the
throat, but the knife struck close by. on
the LEFT lower jaw, and laid it open 10 the
bone for five or SiX'inches
The next sweep that Ylisalitueri made
with this weapon was in the direction of
SIlVa'S stomach, but the knife struck his
thigh and inflicted another terrible cash.
/ SILVA then called for help, and his
brother and another man ran and pulled

The officer did not know that anytime

he would arrest him. The latter said that
Snook wasn't big enough to take him to

covered that his prisoner had an open

had been cut. Leaving the later with his

office, Shook disarmed YIisaEtueri and

and that he defended himself, as Silva

John Johnson, who was serving time

tools in his possession, escaped from the
chain-gang Saturday. He, with others,
was engaged in carrying wood into the
Courthouse. and taking advantage of an
opportunity that presented itself, ran
away as fast as he could. One Of the

the runaway, but became 'rattled." He
subsequently pursued the prisoner, but

Against the Grand Jury.
Pursuant to the announcement made in

preme Justice Charles n. Fox appeared
before Judge Catlin to show cause why he
should not be adjudged guilty of contempt
IN refusing to tell the Grand Jury who
paid his feeias counsel for J. B. Jones.
Mr.. Fox said he had not been served
with copy Of the affidavit on which the
court had based its citation, and was not.
therefore, prepared to answer it. He was
an officer of the court (as an attorney and
was under the obligation of an oath
as such not to reveal the relations be-
tween himself and his client. He desired
TO act with all fidelity to the court and
Grand Jury, and wanted no unnecessary
delay, but did desire few days in which
10 determine what course he should pur-
sue.
Judge Catlin intimated that he disa-
greed with Mr.. Fox as to the latter's ex-
emption from an obligation to answer the
Grand Jury's query, but agreed to let the
matter go over until Wednesday.

CLEVER BICYCLING.
Canary Astonishes the Audience al

There was an immense throng at the
skating rink Saturday night. Many
went there to skate, of course, but the
crowd was there to see D. J. Canary's
exhibition of fancy bicycle riding. Ca
nary gave one exhibition in Sacramento
last winter, which was remembered as
being the cleverest performance of the
kind ever seen here. He is, without
doubt, the best in the business.
Saturday evening he showed that he
had learned a number Of new feats since
his last appearance. Particular among
these was his exhibition on "safetyo
bicycle. which all wheelmen know is
extremely difficult. He rode about with
perfect ease on one wheel and did all
sorts of tricks which would have been
thought impossible. Canary is the young
man who rode his bicycle down the
steps of the Capitol in Washington.
The rink will be closed this week on
account of the tug-ot-war, but will re-
open Saturday evening with some new
attractions, including the Herbert trio,
and q half-mile race between two lady
skaters.
