The Adventures of Camp Chaos. -

/ Co. Q OF the 18th division of
Pleasure Seekers, under the com
mand of Capt J. W. Campbell, an
efficient leader in our late war with
| Spain, moved last Tuesday to take
up quarters at Camp Chaos, ''on the
banks of the Marias des Cygne, for
g few days
| The inclemency of the weather in
no wise dampened the spirits Of this
enthusiastic company as they indus
triously set about pitching their
tents and making themselves alto

On Wednesday morning the full
company answered to roll call by
our 1st orderly sergeant, Daisy

ate so much chicken it flew to their
heads. At p. m. the company was
called out for battalion duty and
"drilled" in all directions. Part of
them becoming a trife mixed in
regard to the points of the compass,
constituted themselves into forag
ing committee and bore triumphantly
into camp prize-a basket OF

c. =. Cross. of the First National,
EmpOrIH, the Suicide.

|
Emporia, Kan, Nov. Is At noon
to day a notice was placed on the
door of the First National Bank to
the effect that it was closed and in
the hands Of tho Comptroller of the
Currency. The closing was a sur
prise to most of the citizens An
hour later the surprise was turned
to horror by the announcement that
Charles S. Gross, the president of
the bank, had committed suicide.
The bank was supposed to be one
of the solid institutions of Kansas.
It's deposits were about 100000,
and, according to is last statement,
its apparently good assets amounted
to as much It's officers were sup
posed to be among the best business
men in the West William Msrtin
dale, the vics p4esident, insists that
the institution will pay dollar for
dollar; that the officers of the bank
propose TO stand by the depositors
to the last cent. Charles Jobes, who
represents the Comptroller of Cur
rency, and who has been working
upon the probable assets of the
bank for a week, is now in charge
of the institution
Charlea S. Cross was a son of II.
g Cross, the receiver of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas aud Texss road, who
died 10 1892. Since his fathers
death, Cross, who WAS about 40
years old, had been president of the
bank, but he had spent most of his
time in the management of the
Sunny Slope stock farm. The farm
had been a large borrower at the
bank, and as Mr.. Cross was prepar
ing for big sale at the Kansas City
stock yards soon, it is believed he
was preparing to turn the farm into
cash to relieve the bank.
Cross left this city al about 1926
O'Clock and arrived at Sunny Slope
farm at exactly o'clock. A colored
lasorer bisched the horse and &C
costed Mr.. Cross thus: Hello boss"
Cross merely nodded and passed on
into the house. He passed through
the front room directly into the
southwest bed room and closed the
door behind him. This is the last
time he was ever seen alive In
going through the front room he
passed within 10 feet of Manager
Evans. but did not seem to notice
him.
Immediately after Cross had pass
ed through the room Evans was
called to the barn lot to show a
stranger some 6ne hogs. After they
had finished looking at the hogs
they went TO the barn, where they
supposed they would find Cross.

Would Not Lose Her Vote.

Boise, Idaho. Nov 16-An illus
tration of the determination Of Idaho
women to have a voice in thu cleo
tions is afforded by the record made
by Mrs. B. f. Jeffors. of Haley. She
has a ranch at Soldier, thirty miles
from Haley, and registered in that
precinct. Later she removed to
HALEY and took q transfer to that
place, but neglected to record it.
At noon on election day she found
she could not vote at Haley, and at
once secured a team and started for
Soldier. II was cold on that high
prairie, but the courageous woman
aced the wind aad urged her team
along in order to reach the voting
place before the polls closed. This
was accomplished and she voted
though several men insisted she had
lost her right to vote there. Mrs.
Jeffers then drove back to HALEY
the same night, the total distance
covered being sixty niles.

Editor Henry Watterson on the
Race War in the CarOIinas.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 15.-In til
Courier Journal this morning III,
Henry Watterson publishes a doubl
loaded double column editorial Oh
the election riots and the race wa
in the South. He is disposed t.
blame President Mckinley largely
saying at the start:
"The President may express such
becoming horror of the race troubles
IN the Carolinas as he thinks the
moral or partisan exigencies of the
administration require, but he can
not hold himself wholly guiltless
3rom responsibility for their exist
ence.
''If he wished to experiment with
the negro as an officeholder, why
did he not undertake few test cases
ut the North, where the black popu-
1ation is not so dense and, therefore,
where the race friction is less acute?
70 set black over white men in the
more negro ridden districts of the
South ia to light torch in a powder
mill. Yet in Northern communities,
from which disproportionate num-
bers have expelled the menace, and
almost the consciousness of racial
antagonism, this would be consider
ed, from the political point of view,
prudent thing to do.
'Imagine a negro postmaster at
Boston, or negro Collector of the
Port of New York. Even a negro
United States Marshal at Pittsburg
o. Cincinnati might find Jordan an
Indifferent road to travel, though
Pennsylvania and Ohio pretend to
believe that Southern villages and
towns are exceedingly squesm,sh
when they object to a little thing
like that
Mr.. Watterson dwells on the fact
that 80 years ago ne put himself at
the head of the movement in the
South to give the negro his civil
rights, but thinks that the black man
has not justified the hopes of his
friends, saying:
I'm moral character he has much
declined and it is question whether
the acquisition of worldly resources
and education is going to make or
mar his future Development
Mr.. Watterson concludes as fol
lows:
Into his sense OF passion for
bis friends and Indignation against
his enemies, MIR Mckinley should |
take this lesson to himself, that, in |
pursuing regulation partisan meth
DDS in the South he invited these
that he was sufficiently |
warned of the danger in the begin
ming ana that he is powerless to
Fesume and finish a job which, with
The army back of him and during
high party times, Grant threw up in
despair.
Neither can the Attorney General,
with all the resources of his great
office, reach case like this. What
IS wanted is hands off, and at once,
Oy the general government except in
earnest cooperation with the ruling
powers IN these two States, and
after that no more negroes in Office,

before it, placed the pistol against
his right temple and fred the fatal
shot. The bullet went clsar through
his head and buried itself in the wall
of the room. The only person IN the

besides Cross himself, was Mrs.

she did not hear the shooting. The
shot WAS evidently fred within a
