NEW RAILROAD LAWYERS.

Ex-Governor Hogg and Judge Robertson
Have Been Engaged as Such.
When Ex-Governor Hogg left the eXecu-
tive office he stated that he would not
under any circumstances be a railroad
attorney, but approaching his worth and
that of his law partner, Judge Robertson,
it is not to be wondered at that the rail
roads have been after the firm ever since
it organized, to accept an attorneyship.
Constant zeal generally brings about I'll, the
desired result, so the readers OF Inc
Statesman will not be very much sur
prised to read this morning that the firm
of Hogg & Robertson has been chosen as
the successors to Fisher & Townees to
represent the international and Great
Northern road in this section Which Will
comprise six counties. This selection of
the international and Great Northern IS
certainly an excellent one and they have
secured a firm that will be OF great
benefit to them at all times.

magazines, pamphlets, and papers, while
Oh its subscription lists are found the best
known American, English, German and
French periodicals. Great care has been
taken in the selection of books, and 1T IS
believed that the foundation of an excel

the University have been kept constantly

equip each school with the works most

DISCIPLINE.


The students are trusted to conduct
themselves properly. If, however, 1t be-
comes apparent that any student by mis-
conduct or by neglect of studies is doing
harm to himself or to others, the faculty

pine. Among these means the faculty
will exercise the authority to impose the
following penalties: Admonition, proba-
ton, dismission and expulsion. Admoni-
ton will be given to the student, whlle

or in studies or in both. Dismission
closes students connection with the
University without necessarily precud-
ing his return. Expulsion is the highest
censure, and is a final separation from
the University. No student, however,
shall be dismissed or expelled from the
University except by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the members of the faculty
present Due notice of any penalty will
be given to the parent or guardian by the
secretary of the faculty. The above pen
alties will not necessarily be inflicted in
regular graduation, but the faculty will

of these penalties at any time.

Up to the departure of the 10
o'clock train this morning Agent
Conley reports sale of 1910 tickets
on the Memphis to Baxter. This il
about seven tickets better than the
sales for the corresponding time
last year, so that about the same
number of Joplin people will attend
the reunion as did then. The num-
ber of tickets sold for the two trains
this morning was 564. with three ad-
ditional trains to run this afternoon
and il is thus estimated, including
those who drove over. that there
were close to 1000 Joplin people at
the big reunion today. Joplin and
Webb City filled fourteen coaches
this forenoon. The trains from the
north also carry fully as many peo-
pie, and the Memphis is raking In

From THURSDAYS Daily I

Forty thousand people tramped
the streets of Baxter Springs and
the grounds of Camp Logan yester-
day in search of entertainment and
pleasure and they found il notwith-
standing the intense heat. Every
incoming train has on from eight
to twelve coaches and every coach
is loaded to the guards. The camp.
ers have been rolling in during the
past twenty.four hours at lively
rate and they come prepared to stay
the balance of the week.
In the forenoon the comrades held
a sort of love feast in the amphi-
theatre, after which Senator Lucian
Bakea addressed thu vast assenb-
lage i'm stirring speech in which
he promised the veterans all the
assistance possible in securing bet
ter pension Legislation. Senator
Baker is good speaker and the
old boys enjoyed his speech.
At the afternoon camp fire there
was an awful big crowd, the amphi-
theatre being jammed and all the
available space Immediately out
side being taken. Mary +. Lease
was the principal speaker and every
word she uttered was well received.
Mas. Lease spoke for an hour aud
half to at least 7,00Opeopie aud in
the opinion of most of those who
heard il. il was one of the most pat
riotic. eloquent and appropriate ad-
dresses ever delivered in Camp Lo.
gan. Her talk TO the old soldiers
of the war has never been excelled
anywhere and she came out strong
and straight on the financial and
female suffrage questions.
There was nothing in the speech
to offend the most radical and while
she differs from large majority of
those who heard her on some Of the
main issues, she presented her ar
guments in such a pleasant man.
ner none could take offense.
Comrade Mary Ellen was delight
ed with her warm reception at Camp
Logan and will be with US another
year.
After the afternoon camp fire
came the roll call by states and IL
was responded to as follows: Ohio

The Big Reunion.
The Fourteenth Annual Inter-
State Reunion a GI0ri-
GUS Success.

The Fourteenth annVl Inter.
State Reunion which began at Camp
Logan last Monday was u grand
success in every way.
Nothing was done the first day
except get ready for the big time
which followed.
From Wednesdays Daily)
Yesterday, the second day of the
reunion, was an interesting, hot
and busy one. Early in the morn.
ing people began to arrive on the
grounds and by noon there were
not less than 1000 people on the
grounds.
AT 10 o'clock Col. Alexander War
ner delivered the address of well
come which was responded to by 5.
q. Mcdowell, after which J. ]. Frib-
ley on behalf of the association OF
which he is president formally sur
rendered the encampment TO Col.
l.. C. Weldy.
AT the afternoon camp fire stir.
ring speeches were made by "Fire
Alarm" Flanagan of Carthage.
Congressman S. S. Kirkpatrick of
the Third Congressional district
and others. The old boys enjoyed
the speeches immensely and al.
though the weather was oppressive
ly warm they stood il out. Speech
es were made by others and music
was furnished by the famous famale
band of WALNUT.
At the evening camp fire Hon. r.
". Blue, e,congressinan.at-large made
the vast assemblage a stirring and
convincing speech. He roasted
Hoke Smith and the pension policy
of the present administration and
fixed Bill Lochren 80 he will hi,
only the high places wen lie leaves
the capitol.
The best of order has go far pre-
vailed in camp and we believe will
continue to prevail during the en-
tire week.
At2 o'clock yesterday there was
the usual rcll call by states and
about 400 old soldiers responded.
Owing to the extreme hot weather
great many who are physically
disabled did not respond, probably
about 100. There will be II heavy
registration by the end of the week.
The program for today's enter.
,ainment will be found in another
place.
Friday will he Wa,terson day.
Henry Waterson, the celebrated
speaker will deliver his famous
lecture on Abraham Lincoln just
outside the camp grounds. An adj
mission of 80 cents will be charged
TO this lecture. II will in nowisc
interfere with the camp fires in the
amphitheatre, however. and the old
veterans who do not care to hear
Watterson can attend the camp
fires. Most of them, though, will
probably decide to hear Watterson.

The Interstate Reunion is Dy no
means local affair, and although
the meetings are held at Baxter
Springs il is not a Baxter Springs
affair. The stock is held in half
dozen states and the management
il by directors elected each year by
the stockholders. Nearly all the
oil soldiers at this reunion are
stockholders in the association and
have voice in the management.
Numerous attempts have been
made to supcrsede the Baxter reun-
ion. but all have proved signal fail
ures. The meetings at Chetopa,
Parsons, Coffeyville. Chanute, Sui
phur Springs aud other places may
be called reunions, but they are
mere local affairs compared TO the
Interstate reunions at Baxter
Springs. While they draw from
the county in which they are located
we draw from three states and a
territory. While they secure few
local speakers and II Hop o My
Thumb show or two we furnish the
best orators in the West and an EN-
tertainment for the entire week that
is unexcelled i'll the large cities.
The old soldiers know that when
they come to Camp Logan they will
in no wise he disappointed. They
know they will meet with their old
comrades and receive warm re-
ception. They know there is n sort
of comradeship at Camp Logan
which can be found nowhere else.
They know our meetings are not
run in the interest OF any city gov
ernment, or clique, or for the pur-
pose of making money. They feel
as il they had a right tot place in
Camp Logan and that by the asso-
Citations of the past there is spirit
of patriotism, loyalty and fidelity
pcrvading the atmosphere which
does not exist in any other camp.
There is another point The officers
of our reunion have nearly all been
in Office since the first reunion four
teen years ago and they seem to
know how TO run a reunion success
fully. For months ahead OF the
time for holding the meetings they
are at work securing tents and ma
terial, advertising, and making
preparations for the comfort and
enjoyment of those who come.
There il an immense amount OF
labor and gratuitous time spent to
make these meetings n success and
the amateurs who are trying to beat
the Baxter Springs reunions have
generally been found wanting. We
believe in holding soldiers reun-
ions while there is left a corporars
guard of the veterans who carried
the flag and saved the nation but
we believe all in this section should
unite in holding meetings at Bax-
ter Springs, where the camp
grounds, buildings and manage
ment are owned and controlled by
the veterans themselves. We be-
lieve every old soldier and patriot
ic citizen and son of veteran in
southeastern Kansas aud south
western Missouri should become
stockholder in this association. We
believe more land should be pur-
chased larger amphitheatre erect
ed, more buildings built and other
necessary conveniences added to
Camp Logan. Our reunions are al
most national event. Comrades
come here from half a dozen states
and the institution started here
fourteen years ago should be per-
petunted by the sons of veterans
long af;er thosH who meet here now
shall have answered the final roll
call.
