MORE POP LEGISLATIVE MIDDLE
Stenographers Trying to Find Out Where
They are At.

They are At.
Mr.. Wendell Mclaughlin returned yes
terday morning from Topeka. where ne
attended the first regular meeting of the
Kansas State Reporters association.
This association was organized on
July 10. at Hutchinson, by several OF
the leading court stenographers Of the
state. After the usual steps to forInu-
late a perfect organization the session
adjourned TO meet at Topeka, August 20.
The necessity for the new society was
the absurd laws enacted by the last leg
islature. Like everything else this
erudite body undertook, this enact
ment was SD confused and irregularly
managed, the court stenographers now
do not know under what law they are
working or for what salary.
For years their salary has been fixed
at Sc per day, and 10 cents per folio. The
late legislature passed two acts govern
ing this matter, enc an appropriation
bill, stipuiating they Should received So
per day and saying nothing about trans
scrips The other was embodied in the
fee and salary bill which put the rate at
$3.50 per year and cents per folio, just
about half of what they formerly re-
ceived. The first act was to 60 into eff
feet Immediately upon publication, which
was in June the other, the fee and sal
airy bill, the first of January. Now,
this is a perplexing enigma which not
even a Pop member of that collection Of
curiors could untangle. The session at
Topeka adopted resolutions urging a
test Of the statute, appointed committees
and did such other routine works as
possible. Thirty-nine judicial districts
are represented in the new associa ton,
and about twenty members were present
at this meeting. Mr.. Cav OF Topeka is
president. The meeting adjourned Fri
day night TO meet at the call OF the

panied by Mr.. a. B. Green, was driving
east on Douglas avenue, when a nearly
fatal accident happened TO Mr.. Green
When they reached the store Of City

Douglas avenue, they stopped 70 talk
with a man. Mr.. Shick was sitting on
the seat holding the lines and Mr..
Green was seated on a trunk at the end
Of the wagon. While they were waiting
there two cyclists flew by, racing, and
as they sped by the wagon the horse
took fright and reared up and before ne
could be pulled down had lunged for
ward, tipping the trunk with Mr.. Green
back against the endgate. Mr.. Green
saw he was going TO lose his balance
and attempted TO thow his feet over the
wheel to jump out. AS he did so the
horse again pitched forward and Mr..
Green was thrown out of the wagon,
landing heavily on his left side. Stunned
and bleeding he was picked up and car
ried to the porch Of Kernan's store

the injured man was tenderly picked up,
placed on the hospital stretcher and car

not yet known, but his left lower fore
arm is fractured and his hip and shoul-
der severely bruised. He is also suffer-
ing from shock, and may develope inter-
nal difficulties. When first picked up
he groaned, "Oh, my God; my shoulder
is crushed" Mr.. Green is one of the

Bass dressed his wounds and he is rest
ing as easily as possible.

CASTLES
For the Ea gle.

We build our castles in the air,
We build them high, we build them fair;
With wide and tessalated halls,
With gold and alabaster walls.
The easements high are fair TO see.
And look out DER the dreamy sea;
The clouds lie amber IN the west,
And all is calm and full OF rest
We leave the busy, busting throng.
And wend our careless way along.
Through shady paths. by noisy brooks;
Care not for stories told in books.

North Adams. Mass. Sept. 22.-It is not
often that North Adams and the towns
Of the Berkshire hills are favored with
fairer day than that which was select
ed for the visit of the nations chief ex-
ecuiiye and other distinguished person
ages, who are being entertained by the
youngest city OF the commonwealth and
the town Of Adams.
People were early astir in anticipation
of the arrival Of the president and party,
and the railroads and eletcric cars
brought in thousands OF excursionists ca
ger to catch glimpse of the president.
Hon. ]. d. Long. secretary OF the navy.
and Mrs. Long arrived last evening and
were entertained at Adams by Charles
T, Plunkett, brother of President McKin-
ley's host, Hon. W. B. Plunkett.
There was unbounded enthusiasm, and
the president was cheered all along the
routes. Both he and Mrs. Mckinley re
sponded to the cheers Of the multitude.
the president bowing his head and Mrs.
Mckinley waving her handkerchief. 1t
was $40 before the fair grounds were
reached. All of the buildings were beau
titully decorated and special stand had
been erected for the use of the party.
When the presidents carriage entered
the grounds there was a tremendous
cheer and fully @.OOO people welcomed
the chief executive. The president and
cabinet officers for some moments stood
on the platform bowling and smiling.
After quiet had been restored, the Hon
W. B. Plunkett, as president Of the Hoo
sac Valley Agricultural Association, said
a few words in happy way. announcing
the great honor done the city and the
fair by the visit of the president. He
introduced Lieut.. Murray Crane, who in
troduced the president. The applause
that went up from the crowd was deafen-
ing. 1t was the heartiest reception given
to a public man in western Massachusetts
for a decade. 1t seemed five minutes be-
fore the president was able to make him
self heard, as at every word he uttered
the crowd would cheer.
