The above are the officers elected
yesterday by the Grand Chapter of the
Eastern Star Of the state. The most
interest of course was centered in the
Office of grand matron. the Topeka
ladies working with the diplomacy
characteristic Of that city for Mrs.
Helen Farnsworth. One of her ablest
lieutenants was Mrs. Julia NJ. Gordon,
who did mighty good work for her
friend. Mrs. Farnsworth is most eX-
cellent lady and there is no doubt but
what she viii he a star presiding over
the deslinies of the order during the
coming year. She is a lady Of high
culture and intelligence and is gifted
with the most charming manners. She
is now and always has been an en-
thusiastic worker in the order. She
was elected two years ago as conduc-
tress and was elevated IN the position
Of assistant grand matron last year.
Upon the announcement OF her election
she made a graceful little speech,
thanking the Grand Chapter for the
honor conferred on her.
The election of 4Ir. Rignell as grand
patron is also regarded as a most eX-
cellent one. In fact the ladies elected

SOLD CITY BONDS
NOW THE WORK CAN BE PUSHED
IN BORING FOR OIL.

Pitzer & Co.. are the Purchasers and
They Have Many Other Wichita Bonds
prospecting VIII Commence Soon if
the Contract is Not Delayed--Fifty-Eive
Thousand Dollars of the City's Deb. to
be Funded, Too
Yesterday special messenger was
sent around with letters TO ali mem
bers of the city council informing them
of called meeting at 4 o'clock p. m.
When the meeting was called to or
der by the mayor a motion was made
to so into executive session, which the
council did. The meeting behind clos
ed doors, Mr.. Smith explained, was for
the purpose of facilitating business and
not for the purpose of keeping the
public in the dark as TO the business
under consideration by their repre-
SentatiyeS.
The object Of the meeting was to take
action with reference to the sale of the
bonds voted last year for the purpose
of boring for oil and gas. The sale of
these has been postponed from month
10 month, back long previous To the
election. Finally a representative for
the house of PitZer & Co. turned up
and the result was a call for a special
meeting yesterday. The bonds amount
TO $4,000 and were sold at par. Some
time ago Mr.. lines expressed himself
in favor OF making out the bonds in
small denOmina tons and sold to home
people for the purpose, he said, of pre-
venting the interest from going abroad
but this did not meet with the approval
OF the mayor and some members of the
council, on the ground, as they ex-
pressed il, of extra expense 10 the city,
for it appears that every block of bonds
necessitate the payment of 80 cents for
registering. Now that the bonds are
sold the enthusiasts who belive that oil,
gas or coal exists under Wichita will en-
deavOr to hurry up the actual work OF
boring. Some say that it will be COM
menced about the first OF the month,
but there is no positive statement TO
that effect
1t is also said that it was agreed in
the council TO issue bonds for the pay
ment of the running expenses of the
city from July until January. This
will amount TO $4,000

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 12.-Glad of
the opportunity TO rest while from the
pleasures and festivities that have been
showered upon them during the week, the
official delegates to the wenty-ninth
cncampment OF the g A. Il. assembled this
morning in the Music Hall which had been
Handsomely decorated with National colors

Amid a fcene of Wild enthusiasm, the
delegates arising en- masse and cheering
and waving OF hats, Henry Watterson,
whose Grafton at Pirtsburg last year brought
the encampment TO Louisville, was escorted
to the footlights and addressed the grand
encampment IN speech full OF patriotism
and good taste.
Commander LAWYER delivered an eloquent
annual address, and reports were read.

TRIED IT ON A DEsERTER.
Testing the Effect of the Krag-Jor'
genSen Bullet.

Int VI
gensen Bullet.
Chicago, Sept. 12.-The killing of Thorn
as Coffey, the deserter, at Fort Sheridan,
has revived the discussion of the effects
OF the Krag JorgeDsen rifle Shot.
The gun was adopted for the United States
Infantry because of its alleged contribu.
ton to the humane side of warfare. The
tremendous velocity given the nickel-en-
cased ball and It's hard coating were said
TO be an assurance of clean cut wound.
1t has been argued that the bullet would
pierce human body and not tear the flesh
around the wound, thus minimizing the
HORRORS OF war. The wound thus made
would quickly heal, while with the old style
arm it might result in death.
The acton OF. the bullet was closely
noted by the soldiers of Fort Sheriff.
yesterday The bullet made a clean cut
hole as it passed through Coffey's occiput,
but as it struck the brain the skull was
cracked in every direction. Apparently the
bullet will have the effect of great de
structiveDess-the opposite OF what was
expected.

FOR pITEzEL's MURDER.

Philadelphia Grand Jury Returns a
Bill Against Holmes.
Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-The grand jury
today found a true bill of indictment
against Herman W Mudgett, alias H. II.
Holmes, charging him with the murder OF
Benjamin F. Pitezel
The only witnesses examined by the
grand jury were Detective Geyer and L. G.
Fouse, president of the Fidelity Mutual Life
Association, the concern that Holmes swim
died out of $40, 900, and they gave suffi-
cient testimony to warrant the finding of a
true bill.
The latter contains nothing but the spe-
cific charge of murder.

There is no longer any doubt that the Uni.
ted States viii within short period give
formal and official aid 10 the Cnban revoiu-
tionists 1t may not be a recognition OF bel
ligerency. but the action TO be taken will be
equally far reaching and beneficial in It's
effects.
There has never beea n struggle waged
for independence in which the unanimous
expression OF popular sentiment was SO
favorable TO the weaker party. The auton-
omy of Cuba has been for decades the theme
OF prayers, hopes and petitions, and as the
crisis draws near their fervency increases.
1t is q matter of certainty that had the
Cuban patriots been able 10 establish and
maintain a de facto government 1t would
have received prompt recognition by the
United states at any time during the past
four decades. This has beeI-held necessary
since the days of Monroe in order to afford
sufficient grounds upon which 10 base rec
ognition.
But after one experiment in concentra-
ton. the establishment of a capital, the
election of a president and the formation
of a government, followed by the burning
OF their federal city to prevent it from being
captured by the Spaniards, no departure
has been made from the guerrilla method OF
warfare.
This plan will be continued as the only
one which does not invite certain destruc-
tion and no attempt will be made to seize
and hold a port, establish de facto gov
ernment or elect national officials, which
would be necessary as a basis upon which
TO demand recognition of belligerency,
until such time as Spain shall be forced to
make those concessions which will be sat
isfactory to the revoutionists.
TINE HAS ARRIVED.
II is now learned on unquestioned au-
thority that the United States, for the
second time in the history of its relations
with Spain, believes that the opportune &C
casion has arrived when This Government
should interfere in matters pertaining TO
Cuba, both for the protection of its own
citizens and in the interest of civilization.
1t is an indisputable fact that American
citizens have more capital invested in Cuba
than those OF any o,!.ar nationality. Some
of the large sugar districts are owned en-
tirely by residents of tue United States.
All of the railroad lines were constructed by
American capital. Whenever a planta-
ton is devastated and its buildings burned
as a result OF the prevailing civil war four
chances out of five are in favor Of an
American being the sufferer
As a matter OF fact, it is apparent that
Cuba is being rapidly transformed into a
colony of Americans by reason of n rather
peculiar circumstance. Almost every college
in the United States has several Cubans
enrolled among its students. These young
men range. in age from II to 20. Under
the existing naturalization laws il is rot
necessary for a minor TO declare his in
tention of becoming citizen. Hence upon
completing his collegiate course the young
Cuban has attained his majority and goes
home a bona fide citizen of the United
States. whereas his parents are still suits
jects of Spain. In this manner the popula
ton of Cuba is rapidly and legally be-
coming America uiZed.
