Force-Arrangements Made for the
Night Meeting.
A telegram from George Strong OF
Peoria, Illinois, yesterday states that
Hon. Thomas B. Reed made, in speech
delivered there might before last, some
complimentary illusions TO Wichita The
remarks indicate that he has been post
ing himself on Wichita history prepar-
atory TO his speech here.
II Is also stated that his voice is in
splendid condition, and that his Wich-
tia speech will be one Of the best in his
speaking tour.
Owing TO the fact that a delegation
from Oklahoma is coming here 10 have
consultation with Mr.. Reed on terri
torial matters, he will not leave until
the very last moment, and in order 10
keep him here as long as possible IL
is suggested TO run him up 10 Burton
on the Frisco instead of to Hutchin-
son.
The great big tent for the meeting
has been secured but is somewhat in
doubt yet whether ii can De used on
account of a probability Of the wealth
er's turning cold after yesterdays rain.
If the wewather is too cold for the tent
the meeting will be held in the Audi
torium- 1t is thought probable that il
all the seats in the Auditorium are re-
served, except those reserved in the gal
lery for ladies, that there will be room
enough for an audience OF 5000
The indications are. however, favora-
bic to an Improvement in the weather

ben written, Superintendent Hartman
gave it out that Mr.. Reeds special
