ENTHUSIASTIC TELEGKAPHERs.

Division 1O5 of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers held a rousing meeting last
night in this city in which nearly all the
members of the division within radius of
fifty miles participated.
When Chief Telegrapher Powell called
tho meeting to order he had before him
probably one of the largest audiences of
operators ever assem- bled in this city.
After the usual preliminaries of opening
the meeting the division proceeded ia u
businessliks manner to dispose of some
important work. consisting chiefly of
Initiating some twenty candidates and ar
ranging for systematic work toward per-
fectinx the organization.
Wichita division has now tbs largest
mem bership of any similar organiza-
ton in the United States. numbering at
present 1913.
When we consider that only one year ago
the membership of this division scarcely
exceeded 200. its growth is remarkable and
reflects great enterprise upon the part Of
its officers.i
The total membership of the entire or
ganization now numbers some % goo, with
$i00. 900 it the protection fund
The Order of Railway Photographers is
now recognized as one of the leading rail-
way organizations of the United States.
and its ability to care for its members has
been fully demonstrated in the past few
months.
1t is to be hoped that future meetings of
this division will be as we'll attended as
the one of last night.
The meeting closed with a banquet
served in their elegant hall in the Hacker
Jackson block.

GETTING DESPERATE,
Jerry simpsons. Cause in Desperate Straits
Look Out for Dirt,

Jerry Simpsons friends are now so con-
WINGED of the almost utter hopelessness of
their cause that they are catching at every
straw that glides along the muddy stream
of fusion politics. The light of facts is be-
ginning to dawn upon them and they are
becoming desperate. The first straw they
hsve grasped at is the fake assassination,
but this. as everybody knows, including
themselves. has only served 10 drag them
deeper down into the flood that will reach
its tide and sink them forever next Tues
day. They have found out that it is un-
popular for them to heap any more odium
on their district and constituents and their
great game now is to turn their batteries
on Chester l. Long personally. They are
now loading their guns for that purpose
with the foulest utilization that can be
conceived by the brain or uttered by the
tongue of man.
In other words they are preparing to
spring an INSCRIPTIONS series of lies on
Mr.. Long before Tuesday, at some time
when it will be impossible to counteract
1t. They were asked in manly way
some few nights ago to spring it then, but
they don't want any more boomerangs
this year and SO have waited till it will not
have time to react before the fate of the
candidate is decided. Mr.. Kies of this city
is one of the men in the dirty fake, and
luckily his mouth is of such dimensions
that hint of it slipped from him at the
Clearwater meeting he held the other
night. kies, it appears, told the audience
that he was in possession of Information
very damaging to the personal character
of Mr.. Long which, when sprung, would
defeat him. Several Republicans were in
the audience. and they invited him to say
what it was, but be declined, saying that
it was yet too early. Being pressed fur
ther he finally stated that the matter
would be made public a few days before
the election. He was pressed still further
for the mysterious secret, but would give
no hint AS to what it was.

THE coMMrrrEE NOT TO BLAME.

The misunderstanding on Tuesday even
ing in regard to the place where Senator
ingalls, would speak was unfortunate. but
was not due to any fault of the Repub-
lican committee. Senator Ingalls, did not
arrive until nearly o'clock, and it was
then ascertained that he could not speak
at the place where the afternoon meeting
was held. Steps were then taken to pro-
cure the opera house, which WAS done; but
it was then about o'clock and too late to
make any public announcement except by
circulating it upon the streets, which was
done; and tho opera house was filled in
ten minutes time. The central committee
at once engaged a man to close the gate of
the Market street speaking place, and to
stand and notify the people who came
there that the speaking would be at the
opera house, but the man thus engaged
was SO carried away by the enthusiasm of
the grand parade that he neglected to do
what he was engaged to do. The commit
tee was not notified of the mistake and of
the crowd waiting on Market street until
Senator ingalls, had begun to speak. The
chairman and Mr. Stanley and others
then went over at once, to explain the
situation, and to state that Senator In
gals was at the opera house. The com
mittee did not know themselves until
after Senator Ingalls, arrival where he
would speak and were therefore unable to
notify the people of the fact during the
day. They regret as much as any one can,
the fact that so many thousands were I'M
abba to hear Senator Ingalls,.

THE MILITARY COMPANY REoRe ANlzED.

The officers of tie military company are
in receipt of command from the adju-
tant general that company 4, h. n. e..
must be recruited by Dec. l or that the
same will be disbanded with dishonorable
discharge to those who are in arrears TO
the company.
The company must be reorganized and
it lies with the patriotism and pride of
every young man IN the city to do this.
There IS no company in the state which is
in better condition to go ahead in this
matter than in Wichita. The company
possesses elegant dress uniforms and are
otherwise the best equipped COM
pany in the state. Everything
is free and is furnished by
the state, ana all that is required of . per-
son in return is an interest in the com
pany. There is now strong feeling
among the young men to get to work and
make company "A" crack company.
The officers, among whom are Captain
Runyon aud Lieutenants Hettinger and
Hoagland. are receiving much encourage
ment from the young men, who promise
their earnest support.
In the last biennial report of the adj
jutant general of the state Of Kansas, the
Wichita military company has the highest
standing of all the companies in the state,
excepting the last half year.

tinguished from every other book, just as
Victor Hugo and Shakespeare or other
authors may Be distinguished from each

ODDS ON LONG.

The break in the Long Simpson betting
arrived yesterday only day later than
was predicted. During the ten days pre-
vious the betting was on even money and
it is estimated that not less than S15, COG
was put up. Tuesday another $1,000 was
put up on Long and up till late last night
no takers put in an appearance notwith-
standing that the proposition states that
bets as low as IS will be taken. Yesterday
at noon il could be seen that no even bets
would be taken by the Simpson men and
as a further inducement for them to bite a
bet of $75 to S65 on Long was posted
which bet still remains on the bulletin
board without taker. A certain gentle
man made a bet last night that he could
name five counties in the district where
Jerry's majority of two years ago would
be cut down one-half this year. The bet
was taken and the cou2tiee of Sedgwick,
Barber, Harper. Summer and Reno were
named. He hadn't this bet made fifteen
minutes when a travelling man offered
him good premium on it but still
the maker OF the bet would
not give it up. It is the softsst snap any
man has got in election bets this year.
The same travelling man referred to then
offered to bet 500 that he could name five
counties in the district where Jerry's ma
jority would not only be reduced one-half
but wiped out entirely. He found no
takers. He then offered to bet that he
could name five counties in which Simp-
son got majorities two years ago that Will
each give Long majority of over 100 this
year and still he found no takers. Bets
of 500 to 500 on Smith ind no takers. nor
do bets that Smith will have 5000 plurali-
ty over Lewelling. / is estimated that
there is not less than $4,000 in bets now
made in this city while some place the
figures at $50 600 1t need surprise nobody
il bets are offered within twenty-four
hours that Long viii beat Simpson 1000
votes III the district.

A PENITENTIAKY OFFENSE

The South Main street car which makes
the run on that line evenings was dersiled
near Lewis street night before last while
coming in from its last trip. The car was
running at rapid rate as cars on the last
trip usually do, when it suddenly
gave a leap and came crashing down again
several feet from the rails. Upon investi-
CATION it was found that some evil minded
person had piled lot OF wood across the
track, evidently done with the purpose of
wreckiDg tie Car. 1t took some time to
get the car On the rails again, which could
not be done until aid from the shop had
been secured.
