a representative of the besleged cattle men.

Preparations for Kansas Veterans.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 16.-Hon. A. R
Greene, department commander of the Grand
Army for Kansas, has been very busy secur-
ing quarters for the Kansas boys who will
attend the encampment next September. He
was taken in charge by the district commit
tee on arrangements and after being shown a
number of halls and buildings, suited for
barracks, he selected two school buildings
located near the center of the city. These
will accommodate about 600 comrades and
should it appear later on that more room is
needed, arrangements have been made with
the committee to meet the emergency. De-
partment Commander Greene has secured
for himself and staff, rooms at the Oxford,
located at the corner of Fourteenth street and
New York avenue. 1t is a splendid location,
elegant rooms, and will certainly give salts
faction to all. This will be the headquarters
for Kansas.
Four Kansas comrades were appointed
members of Commander Greene's staff. They
live here for the present, but belong to Kan
sas posts. They were added to the staff for
the purpose of looking after matters here,
and will be relied upon to attend to detail
arrangements as the time approaches for the
Their names will not be made
public until appearing in general order
from the department commander. The staff
will be composed of about twenty-five men,
mounted, and some of the arrangements for
this have been completed.
Commander Greene assured the Washing
color-bearer to head the Kansas column down
Pennsylvania avenue found in the line. He
tells story which he says has not reached
print.
While he was being congratulated at Atchi-
son over his election as department CON-
mander, man six feet five inches high came
up to him and asked for a word. He said he
had carried the flag on a number of battle
fields and marched down the avenue with it
at the grand parade in '65, and the only thing
he asked now was that at the encampment
he might be allowed to head the Kansas col
umn with the colors, and Greene sized him
up as magnificent looking fellow apd lat
once caught the idea of beating the other
states on color-bearer and promised him the
distinction, and the fellow, with tears,
thanked him and promised to be on hand.
Commander Greene estimates that 100
will be in line in the parade, as he
expects all here to march down the avenue
