After a tour of inspection of the
lodges of the order in this city, am
glad to be able to inform you that never
before in the history of this organiza-
ton has there been so much enthusi-
| asms amongst the members in New Ha-
ven as at the present time.
Elm Tree lodge No. IS has made rapid
strides during the last few months and
| the members are now using every
| means to honorably increase Its mem
bership. Being male lodge, it is
made up Of business men principally,
and to-day has 1894 members on Its
roll In good standing. 1t claims to
| be the, second largest lodge in the or
der, and will endeavor to obtain first
place before the present fiscal year Is
| past.
Beacon lodge No SO has some active
past male and female works and has
made material progress during the past
few months. Warden Andrews and
| Secretary Wallace are interchangeable
in enedavoring to bring this lodge up
| to a high standard, and it is princi-
ipally owing to their personal work
that the lodge is in as good a condition
as 1t is at present. Their membership
1 is about $50.

LAST PROOF Is MADE.
There are no Homestead Claims In SedS-
wick County Now.

The last homestead in Sedgwick
county was proved up in the probate
court yesterday
Some of the early settlers in Sedg-
wick county proved up their claims It
Augusta and later at Wichita but the
land office kept travelling westward I'M
I'll now the office for this district is at
Dodge City.
Instead Of going out to Dodge City to
make proof the land office authorities
allow claimants at a distance to make
proof before the probate judge and then
they are sent in to the land office.
The claim proved up yesterday is said
to be the last homestead that viii ever
pass from government TO individual
ownership in this county.
It was proved up by II. p. Jones and
consists of eighty acres in section - in
Greeley township, this county.
Mr.. Jones' father came here from
Maine and filed on the claim in 1873. He
held it without making final proof until
seven years ago when he sold it to his
son, II. T. Jones.
The improvements on the place are
now valued at 81 600 and Uncle Tom
Randall was one Of the witnesses for
Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Randall says he helped
to prove up some Of the very first home
steads in this county and he thinks it
very proper that he should give evil
dence in the last proof.

Anyhow the Planet Manufacturing

ARE SHAKING THEIR FISTS.
Farmers Near sunnydaIe Don't Like Lin
Potts so Wei, Now


Yesterday o. f. Hart filed a suit in
the district court for divorce from his
wife. Mrs Ida Hart, in which he makes
Link Pitts correspondent
The bill of particulars allege the time
and place that their marriage took
place and then makes an open accusa-
ton that on July % Mrs. Hart and
Link Pitts were criminally intimate.
lie also says that she was intimate with
other men whom he cannot name at
present.
1t is said that Link Pitts has left
Sunnydale, the home of all the parties
concerned. for a less sunny climate as
it was getting pretty hot for him up
there.
The departure Of Link Pitts and the
proceedings instituted by o. E. Hart
for a divorce is the gossip If sunny
dale 10 the exclusion Of everything else.
The good old farmers OF that vicinity
are nodding their heads and shaking
their fists threateningly.
The -szle exclusively published the
story of an alleged robbery al 2u1ny-
dale about two weeks ago in which
Link Pitss pleaded the part of the VIC
tim.
Link was in charge Of the Swimming
station % the Sunnydale creamery at
Sunnydale.
The custom that prevailed there was
TO issue due bills to the farmers for
milk and at about the middle ~ every
month Pitfr would go % Sedgwick,
take the farmers due bills along with
him and collect the money ON them.
About the middle OF July he went to
Sedgwick and got a good deal OF money
which he put IN an old sack IN his
house that night. The next morning he
found that he was robbed and there
were evidences about the place that he
was chIOrUformed All the people had
compassion for him. but now things
are different end that IS the reason The
honest farmers near Sunuydale are
shaking their fists.
There * a suspicion abroad that NJ.
Link Pitts was not robbed at AL and
the farmers believe Il
