to offer to sing before ladies, when they
all knew they couldn't, thus bringing
disgrace on the order. The lecture. was
free, going with the fine. Then Mr.
John Ham pshire was called upon for a
solo, which he gave in his best voice,
and has best is good enough for anybody.
The chairman, however, was looking
closely after the lodges reputation, and
lectured him warmly ''for deceiving the
lodge with the story that he could sing,
and then getting up and exposing his
lack of voice, ignorance of time, and
enormously uncultured ears" The fine
in his case was So. E. Jacobsen, J.

Ferguson were fined $3.50 each for com
ing in late, and this was no sooner paid

and after listening to the chairman ex-
patiate on the enormity of his offense in
getting married without consent of the
lodge, he was fined $15. On his making
solemn promise not to do it again, the

PASSING OF THE NARROW GAUGE.
Changes I'm the Des Moines & Kansas
City in Iowa.


The passing of the narrow gauge is again
evidenced by the Transformation of the
track of an Iowa road from gauge of
three feet to that of standard, which has
just been accomplished without interrupt
ing traffic an entire week day. says the
Railroad Age. The road referred to, the
Des Moines & Kansas City, having liz
miles of narrow gauge track, was operated
in connection with standard gauge road,
the Keokuk & Western, 14s miles long, un-
der the same ownership and management,
making diversity of gauge particularly un-
desirable. By widening seventy-two miles
a continuous line go miles long is estab-
lished between two important cities, and
the immediate result will doubtless be in
creased traffic and reduced expenses from
abolishing transfer of freight and passen-
gers. Forty miles of the road are left un-
changed for the present. but will inevitably
join the majority ere long. Besides this,
the only narrow gauge track remaining in
Iowa is that of the Burlington & Western
and Burlington & Northwestern roads, ag-
gregating 123 miles. These roads, which
are conjointly operated, independently of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy system
to which they belong, are so situated that
they are giving pretty satisfactory results
although their ultimate change to standard
gauge may be considered certain.

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
Green, of Wichita, to Make a Figh
for Place ON the Board.

Wichita, Kas.. Nov. 7.-(Special) Mr.. W.
F. Green will likely be urged by the Popu-
lists of Sedgwick and adjoining counties
for member of the state board of railroad
commissioners. He was an applicant for
the position four years ago, but was turned
down, much to the disgust of the business
men of Wichita, who are more deeply in
terested in the board than in anything
else. For years Wichita has been begging
all sorts of administrations for place on the
board, by way of looking after the freight
rate ailment. but by one and all the town
has been turned down. Now there is an
other chance near at hand, and it Is pro-
posed to make another effort.

Kansas Pops Want to Pick Out the

Topeka, Kas.. Nov. 7.-(Special.) The de-

enormous since the election. and it all
comes from the Popocrats. The secretary
Of state has received scores of letters ask
ing for the book. From the little town of
Mankato nine persons have asked for a
book each. This town is the home of the
Popocratic secretary Of state-elect. and the
indications are that he has promised ev-
erybody there a place. The object Of the
Popocrats in wanting the book is to glance
over it and pick out the offices that they
desire from the incoming administration.
The demand has already exhausted the
supply.

st. Louis, No.. Nov. 7.-(Special) Some
of the leading Republicans here are insist

the party in the state to secure a cabinet
position for Robert E. Lewis. The claim is
made that the vote given him shows that
he has done much to unite the party in the
state, and 1t is believed his selection would
meet the approval of all Republicans, and
that the honor would be a distinction
earned by his great fight in the campaign.
Some efforts in this direction will be made

to Missouri for member of his cabinet
the claims of Mr.. Lewis will be presented.
