The Military Feeling at Fever Heat in the
Peerless Princess

/ OF the EdSfe that contained the most
complete report of the presidents mes
sage, the International diplomatic cor
respondence and press opinions publish
ed by any paper west of Chicago, was
soon exhausted and an extra edition
had to be printed to supply the demand
Everybody approved Of the position
and stand taken by President Cleve-
dand and everybody wanted 10 go 10
war at once.
The following are a few of the ex-
pressions heard:
Captain Hawley: 81 am glad of it, /
Thought l had enough of war but this
excites me and l would like to have an
other little brush before 1 get too old.
L would especially like to cross bats
with Johnny Bull. You can put me
down for war TO the knife"
Charles Luling: Am 1 for war?
we'll 1 should say so. 1 belong to the
Knights OF Pythias, and we are a recog-
nlZed military organization designed
for active service when called upon. By
the way belong to the staff of our regi-
ment TOO. / am in favor of putting
about 5000, 900 men in the field and COB
bic UP Canada and all the other British
possessions we can get hold of includ-
ing Ireland If England goes to war
with US she will never know what hit

England is the enemy. Let war break
out and you'll see me with the Irish AL
diance. OF course am ready for war.
Let the bugbe sound at once
George Cerf's barber shop was a hot
bed Of warriors. They brandished their
raZors there and cut off the heads Of
imaginary Englishmen every time they
houriShed their weapons. They Were
terribly anxious for war everyone of
them, from the man at the first chair
down to the bootblack
The messenger boys over at the West

in the day. They all wanted to be
drummers and buglers and the back
room resounded with tin horns all day
that had a decided martial tone.
John Roberts of Hutchinson was for
war and lots of 1T He thought a war
was just what the people needed at

Gated desire to see somebody else war

Morrills war methods he thinks would
not suit him.
DR.. Hougland wanted war. He said
he would raise a regiment in Wichita
that could lick brigade of Britishers.
Farmer Doollttle was simply thirst
ing for gore. When war was mentioned
TO him he raised TO his full height, ex-
banded his chest and tn a turn-loose-
r-dogS-of-war expression on his
face he brought his fist down on the
palm of his other hand and declared
for wari war;! warii,
Lawyer Jim Conley was strictly for
war and desired to be numbered among
the 100000 Irish Alliance that have al
ready rendered their services.

was quite positive that in the contest

ID. T. Dunbar-It is a big bluff but I
I'm glad that Cleveland had the grit /
