Recruiting for the Thirteenth regl-
ment was as good as finished Saturday
night. Today the recruits already Sc
lected will report at the armory and
tomorrow they will be taken to the
camp of the Pennsylvania division at

made total of $50 available men when
added to the so each already enlisted
for Companies f.. of Honesdale; @, of
Montrose, and II, of Providence. The
recruits secured for these three COM
panies have been examined by physic-
ians in their respective localities.
Colonel Coursen yesterday tele-
graphed to Lieutenant Colonel Mates,
in command of the regiment at Camp
Hastings, asking information as to the
exact number OF men needed by each
company. This inquiry was suggested
by the absence of official information
here as to the number rejected for
physical disqualification at camp after
having volunteered. Lieutenant Colonel
Mates replied that the information had
been telegraphed to the captains.
ASSIGNING TO COMPANIES.
SO when the recruits report at the
armory at 8 o'clock this morning the
work of counting noses and assigning
them to particular companies will be
undertaken. AS already explained. the
Honesdale, Montrose and Providence
companies are already provided for. At
the armory the representative officers
now here Of each of the five other COM
panies will get their recruits together
and give them instructions regarding
tomorrow's departure.
To allow for possible rejection by the
army surgeons at camp each company
will take seven more men than are ac-
tually needed. Each recruit will be told
TO report at the armory at o'clock
tomorrow morning with a lunch, extra
underclothing and a good, coarse, pair
of shoes.
Anything but a cordial reception to
those who said mo" was given them

The Thirteenth's volunteers were
accompanied as far as Wilkes Barre by
non-volunteers from that city's Ninth
regiment Crowds of boys followed
those who left the depot and hurled all
manner of invectives at them. In
Scranton the demonstration was not as
insulting, but the comments made on
the dejected-looking, blue-uniformed
fellows were far from pleasant.
A later train brought to Scranton
those of the Thirteenth who had vol

Curious Election Ret of "A Ranchman
with a Kansas Girl and the
Latter LoOses.

Kansas, with her usual reputation of
producing many strange and wonder
full things, is again at the front with
one of the most peculiar election bets
that has SO far come to light. Out in
Grant county, which is one of the SO
counties that go to make up the big
Seventh congress district, over which
Jerry Simpson and Chester I. Long
have SO bitterly contested for the past
few years, there is situated at the
junction of the north fork of CHM
maron river and Prairie Dog creek the
little town of Golden, a short grass"
hamlet, inasmuch as it is situated in
that part of Kansas known as the short
grass region.
1t was Miss Lucy Withers, resident
of Golden, who brought this isolated
prairie town to the attention of the
public. Miss Withers is a comely wom-
an of some 20 Kansas summers,
school-teacher, and lives with her wild
owed mother. She has always been a
great admirer of Jerry Simpson, from
Medicine Lodge, and never loses an OPP
portuni;y to champion his cause.
few evenings before election there
was a social gathering in the eighbor-
hood, and it was during this time that
Miss Withers and a young and well-to-
do ranchman, by the name of Harold
Owens, took opposing views on the
political situation. The young teacher
questioned Mr.. Owens as to the depth
of his faith in his candidates election,
and whether or not he was willing to
wager some of his possessions to show
his confidence. This was somewhat of
a setback for the young ranchman, but
he informed her that he had 80 of the
finest steers that ever grazed in Grant
county, all of which he valued at $1,000,
and which he would bet that Mr.. Long
would be elected to congress.
what have you, Miss Withers, to
show your faith in the return of Simp-
son to congress?" asked the ranchman.
Now, the teacher owned no steers,
neither had she anything equivalent to
so head of cattle, but she determined
not to be outdone. She hesitated a mo-
ment and said:
81 will wager you 1000 kisses at one
dollar each against your steers that
Jerry Simpson wins
= will accept with the understanding
that in case ! win you allow me to col
lect my winnings on the installment
plan"
you may suit your pleasure about
that"
..,rben II Is an agreement and our
listeners are the witnesses"
The election resulted in bad defeat
for Mr. Simpson. Harold Owens says
he will collect 90 kisses a week until the
ot,li,ra+iop is cancelled

for the defendant in a trial by jury and
put on the witness stand boy from whose

to work to show that the boy was worth
