Western Kansas world., 1893-07-01

"A very important question among
many OF our farmers just at present is
how to obtain seed wheat for fall sowing.
There are number of counties in west
ern Kansas, including our own, which
will not produce enough wheat for seed
and bread. In many instances the
farmers are absolutely unable to pur-
chase seed. The ground is now in prime
condition for seeding and but very little
extra work will be required to put it
in good condition this fall. This is a
very important matter and something
should be done and that very soon.
Some favor calling an extra session OF
the legislature. Some oppose an extra
session and favor private subscriptions.
1t is to the interest of every business
man, as well as of the farmer, to see that
an abundance of seed is Forthcoming.
AS we have remarked before the ground
will be in better condition for the recep-
tion of seed than in and previous year
and the farmers will have ample time
to put it in properly. We hope to see
this matter assume some definite form
very soon. The farmers must have
wheat to SOW.

the high dignity which as a profession it has
now attained. His services rs president of the

been invaluable, and it is largely through his
efforts that the club has attained its present
popularity. His series of lectures before the

thoroughly practical talks have been of inesti-
mable value to ali who have heard him.

Mr.. Fred Irland first vice president of the
association, is well known as one of the official
reporters Of the debates of the House of Rep
resentatives. having been appointed to the
position three years ago on the death Of Mr..
John j. McElhone, and affOrding the remark
able instance of a man attaining the top round
of the stenographic ladder at the early age Of
thirty. Mr.. Irland. while attending the high
school of his native town, Adrian, Mich. learned
a stenographic system ordinarily considered in
adequate for reporting. but with which at the age
of eighteen he did highly creditable work on
the staff OF a Detroit daily. While still in his
minority he was promoted to the post of local
editor. Determining to make stenographic re-
porting his profession he succeeded, as few do.
in swapping horses while crossing stream
that is to say. he unlearned poor stenographic
system and mastered good one with scarcely a
suspension Of his reporting work. Soon his re-
markabe talents procured him the post of Of
fetal reporter in a leading court of Detroit
which he held until his appointment to his pres
ent position. His active connection with steno-
graphic conventions in different parts OF the

The treasurer Of the associa ton, Prof. C. K.
Urner, began the study of shorthand in the
year 1868, while attending school, But under
the press OF other duties 1t was studied only as
pastime until the year 1873 when he began IN
earnest the task of its mastery his intention
being to adopt law reporting as profession.
In the year 1874 he had SO far advanced rs to
begin verbatim reporting. Three years taking
OF references before referees in New York state
satisfied him that other fields of shorthand
would be more congenial and equally remuner-
alive. so he drifted into general reporting and
teaching. Since 1850 he has confined himself
almost exclusively to teaching the art. But &C.
casionally he reports lectures sermons, &c. in
order to retain his manual dexterity believing
that any one who Processes to teach shorthand
should be able to demonstrate his ability to use
it.
He has resided in this city for the past seven
years. The most extensive reportoria con-
tract he has undertaken since coming to this
city is the reporting. several years ago. Of the
entire lectures delivered during the eight
months course at one OF Washington's law
schools.

The association has taken the entire floor al
No. 612 14th street nor Invest. and has fitted
1t up in an elaborate manner. Not only are
the rooms provided with all the shorthand and
typewriting publications. but the latest maya.
zines, such as Harper's, Century. Scribners,
&C.. are to be found in the library.
One OF the most important features is the
dictation class. which has been started and
which is patronized by large number of the
members. An efficient reader is furnished,
who reads to this class three evenings in the
week on different subjects. the latter part Of
the evening being taken mp with rapid dicta-
ton. This nas proved highly beneficial to all
who have availed themselves Of it, rs there is
hardly stenographer who does not feel that
there is room for improvement in the practice
of his art. For the benefit also Of those who
are anxious to increase their speed mock trials
and debates are got up among the members,
which furnish the very best kind of practice
besides being highly beneficial to those who
take part in them.

TON srENOGRAPHERs' ASSOCIATION
1t is a curious fact that with all the excellent
material at hand the club is less than three
years old. In the early part Of 1891 Mr.
Willard Fracker. realizing the imperative need
or such an organization, called together about
score OF the more prominent shorthand
writers, and urged upon them the importance
of such an association in Washington and en-
listed their services in the formation of q
shorthand club.
Mr.. Fracker. who had been president of the
Metropolitan Stenographers' Association of
New York city and one of the founders of the
Stenographers Association OF New York-the
two largest clubs in the countrv-was well
quallf1ed by past experience in such matters to
point out the value OF cooperation A general
call was sent out to all the shorthand writer's in
the CITY. and on the evening of the meeting
over 200 were present. A constitution and by
laws were adopted. an efficient set of officers
elected. and the Washington Stenographers'
Association became a substantial reality from
that time on.
The present officers are Dennis F. Murphy.
honorary president; David Wolfe Brown. presi-
dent; Fred lrland, first vice president: Miles
Fuller. second vice president; Frank Wilbur
Ioulton. third wee president: Mrs. Ella F.
Rowley, secretary; Miss Alice Brooke, assistant
secretary. and c. X. Urner. treasurer.
DENNIS F. MURPHY, PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Dennis F. Murphy, who has been identi-
fed with the association since its organization
is without doubt the best-known stenosrapher
in the United States. and up to short time
ago, when he met with serious accident, was
recognized as one of the most expert. For
about forty years he has reported debates on
the Senate floor. having commenced at the
tender age Of sixteen. His experience as a
reporter of debates. committees, conventions
&c. is unequaled. and notwithstanding the
busy life he has led. he has found time 10
post himself thoroughly on literary and scien-
tific subjects. He has always contended that
the better u stenographer understood the sub
ject he was reporting, the better report he
would make
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-05-27

Miles Fuller the second vice president and
one of the oldest and most active members OF
the association, was born in Illinois in 1858,
coming to Washington subsequent to the war.
After completing the course in the public
schools, he entered the Columbian University
and graduated with honors in 1880. taking up
the study of law in the same institution, from
which he graduated with the degree OF LII. NJ.
Having early realized the importance Of stem
ography, he had begun its study while at col
lege and was afterward appointed private Sec
Rotary Of the chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry of the Department OF Agriculture. He
is now in charge Of the exhibit OF that bureau
at the worlds fair. While writer Of the Ora
ham system, Mr.. Fuller thinks all systems well
come to the stenographic fold.

Taken as body it is hard to find a brighter
or wittier class Of young men and laaies than is
to be found among the stenographers. In the
first place to be first-class shorthand writer
presupposes something above the average in
teligence; and the work if properly done tends
to brighten the wits and broaden the culture.
An extensive program has been arranged for
the coming season. which will include several
lectures by prominent speakers and q number
Of outings during the summer months.

shall Hall, and q most enjoyable time is an

country and his frequent and interesting con-
tributions to stenographic periodicals. added to
the fact that five or six years ago he carried Of
one Of the two prizes in the now historical
speed contest at Lake George, N. Y, have
given him national reputation. Since coming
to Washington he has been active a member
Of the Stenographers' Association, before which
he has given several most interesting talks"
He is well known to newspaper men one Of
the most popular members of the ''Press Club."
