PART FOR THE POOR
SYL DIXON MAKES A GENEROUS
DONATION TO ST. LOUIS.
He VIII Give Ten Per Cent of the Proceeds
of His Mckinley Corn Train to the
Cyclone Sufferers-Corn VIII be First
Sold at Auction in New York and Doubt

What He Is Doing With His Decora-
LONESOME Fine Works OF Art Being
Painted

Syl Dixon, the originator and mana
prise, made a generous offer last night
and one that exemplifies the big-heart-
edness of the Kansan. Everything Mr..
Dixon has done so far in connection
with this enterprise has been Of such a
character as TO reflect credit on his en-
terprise and nothing appeals 10 the bet
ter impulses Of the people than his offer
of last night made through the Eagle.
The offer, in substance, is that he will
donate 10 per cent of the proceeds Of
his Mckinley train of corn TO the cy-
clone sufferers of St Louis.
AS this train will be composed of forty
cars of corn, or 900 bushels. il can be
easily seen that the donation will
amount to a handsome sum.
His idea is to carry the train Of corn
TO New York, let the people know his
object, sell il at auction 10 the highest
bidder and then send 10 per cent of the
receipts TO the ST. Louis sufferers.
When Mr.. Dixon authorized the Eagle
to make this proposition for him every
body who heard him said that it was
a splendid thing and they regarded it as
a great proposition and one that shows
not only a good heart but a good head
as well.
The fact of the matter is, Syl is a man
with generous impulses and if his many
friends would permit him to do it he
would as soon give all the corn to the
sufferers as not.
While Mr.. Dixon has bought all the
corn and it is his own, nevertheless the
people of the coun ties which 1t will rep
resent will give an unqualified endorse
ment to his proposition.
The counties are as follows:
Logan, Rush, Hamilton Barber, Lane,
Shawnee, Montgomery, Butler. Green
wood, Anderson, Marion, F'inney, Doni-
phan, Morris, Ellsworth, Sedgwick, Pot
tawatomie, Woodson, Miami, Kingman,
Ness, Pawnee, Wichita, Grant, Reno,
Sumner, Allen, Franklin, Clark, Ford,
Edwards, Harper, Meade, Harvey, Cow
ley, Bourbon, Mcpherson, Haskell.
All the corn for the forty cars has
been purchased and the train will be
ready in ample time for June s.
A reporter for the Eagle called yes
terday to see the decorations and they
are, beyond question, very fine.
William Kay of this city is in charge
Of the artistic work and has evolved
toIle very me anu very app OPI 4ae
conceptions. From an artistic point
the decorations will be show in them
selves and it will require two solid hours
to see and study them all after they are
on the cars. They will be a show in
themselves. They represent every
thing beautiful in Kansas and also rep
resent some of the highest virtues OF
the Republican party, notably the ideas
which Mckinley represents. As the
most of the decorations were rolled and
folded up an accurate description can
not be given of them for several days.

Sons of Veterans Presented With the Stars

Last evening the local camp of Sons
of Veterans were very pleasantly sur
prised by the Woman's Relief Corps
presenting them with a beautiful flag.
The boys had been called together, pre-
sumably for the purpose of preparing
flowers for Memorial Day, when Mrs.
Mason, president of the corps, stepped
forward and with appropriate, well
chosen words, presented them with the
beautiful banner.
Captain Pratt thanked the ladies for
their gift, assuring them that as Sons
Of Veterans they would love, cherish
and defend Old Glory as becomes sons
of men who fought to preserve it. He
then called upon Charles II. Lease, who
very eloquently expressed the camps
appreciation of the generous gift, and
assured them that they would ever hold
it aloft encouraged by the loyal women
whose good viii it represents.
