AN EXCLUSIVE G. A. R. POST.
Only Soldiers Who saw Three Years
-..-- Service I'm the War Will
49, Re Eligible.

Topeka. Kas, Nov. 2s.-tSpecial)e A new
G. A. r. post will soon be organized in
Topeka, and the membership will be con-
fined to ex-soldiers who served over three
years in the late war and who can produce
their discharge papers. The post will be
made up principally of members of the
other old posts here Those. behind the
movement claim that the most active mem
hers of the old posts are men who never
did much fighting; In fact. they say that
some of the members never saw battle
during the war. 1t is also charged that
almost anybody can get into the old posts.
One OF the promoters of the new organiza-
tton declares that there are two men be-
longing to the old posts who never enlisted
at ALL He won't give their names for pub
lication but says that the members of the
post know who they are.
I'VE propose to have post composed OF
soldiers" said he, land soldiers who
fought. For that reason the eligible list
will be confined strictly to veterans who
served over three years and who can pro-
duce papers showing that they were hon.
orably discharged. We will take away a
large number OF the members of the old
posts who have become dsgusted with the
way things are running there. l belong to
one of the cid posts myself. and 1t is very
humiliating to go to meeting of the post
and see 1t run by set of men who never
saw the smoke of battle. and many others
feel the same as do.
.Will the organization of the new post
have any political Significance"
No. sir. We will keep II out of politics:
We propose to make 1t a model post. and
YOU can rest assured that nobody but old
soldiers will belong to II. too.

HIS AIRsHIP FLIES LIKE A BIRD
Machine Carrying Two Hum
dred Pounds,

Topeka. Kas.. Nov. 2S.-Charles Haas. a
young farmer living near Topeka, has for
two years been working out an airship
idea, and yesterday made a successful ex-
pertinent. The ship Is built after the model
of a huge bird. 1t is twelve feet from bow
to stern and the same distance between the
tips of the wings. Haas ship rose rapidly
and sailed a distance of 500 feet, when q
rope to which it was attached brought it
to a standstill. 1t was hauled down and
sent up again with a tub containing 200
pounds of rock. The ship sailed with the
weight as smoothly as without it.
Haas demonstrates his ability to guide the
ship by manipulating n pair of wings with
two lines from the ground. Haas did not
venture into space with the ship because of
the wind which was blowing fiercely, but
announces that he will do so in the future
Haas idea is to equip his ship with pro-
pellers and an electric motor to provide
wind when that article Is scarce.
The exhibition was witnessed by large
crowd of Topeka people and general sur
prise was expressed at the ease with which
Haas handled his machine in the high wind
He says that the higher the wind the bet
ter his ship will fly. Several Topeka men
have promised to back Haas in further ex-
perimentS.

WORKING THE SOUTH.
For PrOselytes Among Unedu-
Gated MOuntQineers.

Louisville. KY. Nov. ga remarkable
religious movement Is going on in the
South, but it is one which orthodoxy does
not look upon with favor. 1t is a systemat-
ic attempt on the part of the Mormon
church to procure proselytes to the faith
of the Latter Day Saints. The work is in
charge of Elder Kimball. of Salt Lake,
president of the Southern Mormon propa-
ganda. and it is his avowed purpose to send
at least one missionary to every county in
Southern indiana. illinois and Missouri. '''
Chattanooga seems to be sort Of head
quarters for the movement. The Mormon
part of Tennessee, and it is also convenient
of access to that portion of Kentucky in
which their appears to be the most prom

reached Chattanooga from Utah last Sum
day, and were sent out in various direc.
to Kentucky. On October Is another band
OF twenty-three came in from Salt Lake.
and were apportioned out to the Southern
into the Kentucky mountains. Elder KIM
ball their chief. has but little to say about
pushing the work vigorously. He says that
23O of these missionaries have been sent out
by him during the year. He adds that he
has just begun, and that they are obtain
ing proselytes in every direction. although
there is still much prejudice against them,
and occasionally they are threatened with
The field in which President Kimball is
putting out his workers in this state is one
well adapted to this or similar tasks. The
country is mountainous. the soil very thin
and the population sparse and poor, but
emotional and religiously inclined. The
people gladly travel ten to twenty miles to
attend religious services, as this is almost
all the variety furnished to interrupt the
monotony of their daily lives. They have
little or no education. and with their re-
lgious enthusiasm easily fall victims to
error, provided it Is presented by a pow
of the Mormons.
All sorts of odd sects exist in the mount
the Seventh Adventists." the 'Christa-
delphians." 'Sanctificationists." and
"Hardshell Baptists." who believe in fore
sionaries. Churches are few and scatter
ing. for, with the exception of the Method
lists. the other churches do not push out
much in these forbdding regions.

Columbus, O., Nov. 2s.-It is announced
here that on the occasion Of the Sth of
January banquet in this city of the Ohio
Democracy a movement will be inaugural
ed to continue the reorganization of the
party throughout the state along the lines
of the recent campaign.
The banquet is to be held in the Great

to the capacity of the banaueting hall, no
doubt 1t is the intention to limit the in

will be no speakers from outside the state.
The programme will be announced in the
near future. Among the prominent Ohio
Democrats to whom invitations are to be
extended are John r. Mclean. Congress

but the main attendance will be from the
younger Democrats. those who took an ac-
tive part in the recent election.
The silver Republicans and the Populists
who worked with the Democrats will be
recognized. 1t is thought that Judge ]. ].
Harper. of Washington Court House. will
speak for the silver Republicans and George
4. Groot., Of Cleveland, for the fusion Pop
ulists. The banquet will be preceded by a
day conference. and 1t Is the expectation
of the originators of the affair to unite all
these elements into the one party.

The question of boards has always been

WILHELM's LATEST vAGARY.
Emperor of Germany Thinks He Is
Heir to the Throne of
n EDEland.

Chicago. Nov. ga letter to the Times
Herald from London says:
THAT Great Britain may become a republic
in a very few years is quite within the
bounds Of probability. master hand at
mischief Is already tangling national affairs
until 1t looks as though only the interven-
tion of a republic could unravel them.
ut is rather curious to outsiders, and
wholly unpleasant to the queen to know
that the German emperor regards himself
as the rightful successor to England S
throne. This is a matter rarely spoken Of
though perfectly well realized at court
and it is a strenuous reason against her
majesty's ever abdicating in favor of the
Prince of Wales. So that when next you
hear that she meditates such step. do not
believe it. She is safe to do nothing of ths
kind though she live to a hundred years.
The erratic German emperor bases his claim
on the not unnatural assumption that as
his mother. born princess royal and eldest
child of Queen Victoria, is heir to that
mothers crown, and he her immediate sue
cessor!
cit is said that the kaiser is wildly in
dignant because his mother will not press
her claim and take her rightful place as
the future sovereign of England. That tho
Prince of Wales Is not the Prince of Wales,
but that the kaiser is that as well as en-
peror of Germany. he has fully decided in
his own mind. When the time comes for
his contention it is scarcely probable that
he will hold his peace. OF course it is not
for a moment to be supposed that England
would endure Wilhelm for it's king. But the
case is n knotty one upon which even the
constitutional lawyers cannot agree.
while the queen remains sovereign this
family unpleasantness is not likely to arise.
but when she abdicates or dies there is
pretty sure to be an uncomfortable time for
all parties concerned. Still, English are
certain to reject the kaiser. even though
England has to resolve itself into republic
