work in Kansas, particularly that
which was made necessary when the
legislature made no appropriation for a

been completely successful and had it
failed, it would have set the cause of
women in Kansas back fifty years.
Mrs R. B. Mitchell. pioneer of the
state, told of the hardships the early
settlers had to undergo Many of
the dangers of the early days were
rehearsed and great praise was given
to the incessant courage which had

Mr.. Honey offered a resolution providing
that the count be made by this grand COM

shall count the subdivided lots and they

Mr.. Honey supported the resolution by
saying that the letter and the spirit or

Mr.. Wilson answered Mr.. Honey by
saving that in 1887 the Democrats had the
Grand Committee, but never thought
then of the spirit and letter of the law.

ESPECIAL TO THE NEwsI
NEWPORT, May 3l.-There was not much
ceremony wasted by the busy legislators
when they reached their hotels. The
order of business was supper, and as
appetites, they made short order of that
business.
At 7i30 general break was made for
the State House, where the secret caucuses
were to be held. The Democrats gathered
in the Senate Chamber. while the Repub-
licaas assembled in the House Chamber.
Both parties were bound that there should
be no outside interference and no inter-
lopers, for guard was put on both doors
TO count noses, and promptly at o'clock
both doors were locked by deputy sheriffs.
Now aud then the voice of some member
who was waxing warm could be heard by
those who were in the corridors but the
purport of these remarks could not be
judged.
While these caucuses were in progress
considerable outside information was OBJ
tained. The citizens committee were

They wished to honor him and notified
the committee that they would be

Adjt. Thomas, instead OF communicate

word TO the members of the riding club,
and IL was not until last evening that the
committee learned of what had been done.
Now they are anxious TO learn whether or
not they are to entertain the club.
Incidentally IL was ascertained that
Mayor Honey had presumed to write to
the commandants OF the organizations
that are to participate in the procession,
informing them at what hour they are
