MASONS MOVE OUT
BaptiStS Close Deal For Their
Old Home.
WILL GO IN WEDNESDAY
Have Arranged a Two Days
Rally.

The Masons were busy yesterday NOV
ing their property out Of the cathedral at
the corner of First and Market. The
Baptists have closed the deal with them
for the building and will move in next
Wednesday with big rally.
Some years ago the First Baptist church
being heavily in debt, sold their house OF
worship on the corner OF First and Mar
ket streets to the Scottish Rite Masons.
About two weeks ago on an optional pur-
chase the Bapusts paid down 500 Tor
felt, as noted In the Eagle
The Masons have used the house since
the first bought it. as a cathedral for
lodge purposes, but having, in January
last, bought the fine building on the cor
ner of First and Topeka, built by the Y.
NJ c. A., and having it now nearly ready
for Masonic uses, had no further use for
the church house and so decided to &C
cept the offer the church made them for
the building.
The plans for raising the money are
being rapidly ma tured by the church.
The committee having the matter in
charge has arranged for a rally of the
church and its friends for next Wednes-
day and Thursday, May and 5, to be
held in the house just purchased. The
meetings will be for preaching. prayer,
praise and taking subscriptions. Quite a
number OF prominent preachers from
other cities will be present to aid in the
work
Mrs. Edith CHilD Booker IS expecting TO
come and will preach one evening. Elder
E. B. Meredith OF Topeka, with the pas
tor, will have charge Of the meetings.
The members Of the church are enthusi-
astically working and planning the most
supreme sacrifices and giving in order to
obtain the house and have tclear of
debt, and they believe it will be possible
to raise the whole Of the purchase price
payable on short time. and raise beside
enough to reft the house for church
purposes.
Through all their difficulties and the
necessity of renting a place of worship
the church has maintained It's organiza-
ton complete. and services have been
held with but little interruption, and
they are now united and determined with
great harmony to re-enter the house they
built years ago. and feel confident that
they will be able to enter it free of debt.
The church will have the sympathy Of
the whole community ~ TSelr struggle

DON Is DEAD
Farmer DOOIittIe's Faithful Com
Danion Poisoned.

Farmer" Doolittle's dog, Don. IS dead.
Don was Spanish only in name. He was
true blue, Don was, with an intelligence
almost human and Farmers" constant
companion. When you saw one you knew
that the other was not far away. No
body could have been mean enough 10 kill
Don, but ne died of poison, accidental,
presumably. and Farmer looked lone
some yesterday. 1t is suspected that he
felt lonesome, for Don had a confiGing
way OF looking up into "Famers" face
as though he understood his masters
isolated life, as IL he sympathized with
his moods. And we guess be did. The
faithfulness and constancy of a dog have
evoked the genius of painters and in
spired poets. and are not, therefore. 10
be despised. A touch of that which makes
all the world kin was felt when Farmer
told us how Don, IN his extremity, when
the film Of death was gathering over his
eyes had appealed TO him for help. But
the duty of the day called Farmer
away, and when he returned Don was
dead. and his kind and patient master was
left more lonely than ever.

JUST SEVEN THOUSAND WORDS
How the Eagle Knocked the Half
Bakeds Out Again.


Bakeds Out Again.
Yesterday morning the people in south
ern Kansas and Oklahoma who take the
Kansas City papers threw them away
with disgust. The only dispatches on the
First Engagement of the War those pa
pers had was what the Eagle had printed
twenty-four hours previously with the
addition OF a laundering dispatch from
Washington not crediting the original
story. In yesterday mornings Eagle was
a continuation of the original story giving
the engagement in greater detail. That
dispatch was not in the Kansas City pa
pers yesterday morning. They came 10
the southwest without it. 1t came after
midnight, together with seven thousand
words of news not one word of which was
printed in, the Kansas City papers. In
this mornings Eagle there are seven
thousand words bearing news received af-
ter midnight, of which no Kansas City
paper has a single, solitary line.

AOJUTANT BROWN TALKS
Company "A" Officers Were Not Al
lowed to Enlist

Company "a" Officers Were Not Al
lowed To Enlist.
Adjutaant w. L. Brown, who was here
recruiting the new volunteer company,
was seen In the city building yesterday
He said: Il have been acting under orders
and this morning 1 wanted to give the
National Guard Of Company A the first
chance to enlist. The captain and first
lieutenant called upon me and said that
they called to assure me that they nor
any OF the company had had anything TO
do with the efiigy episode. I told them
that II their men enlisted they could elect
the present officers to the new company.
l wired Governor Leedy stating that the
officers Of Company A had called, and told
him what they said. They went away but
returned after dinner and told me that
under no circumstances would they or
any of their men enlist. A few minutes
after they left I received an answer from
the governor. He said: DO not enlist any
OF ths officers Of Company A We had
been going slow during the morning hours
in order to give tho National Guards the
first chance. As soon as the officers of
the company gave me their decision 1
proceeded at once to enlist all who ap-
peared and could pass the examination"
Adjutant Brown is well known here and
is esteemed. He will make good soldier
He is wearing his new honors without
any ostentauon or display. While the
action Of Governor Leedy is outrageous
and is generally deprecated by the citizens
Of Wichita, nothing can be said detrimen-
tai of Adjutant Brown.
Sergeant Owens was seen at the armory
of Company A yesterday. He said: II
want to place Company A In a right posi-
ton. I locked the armory on Wednesday
night and although others have keys,
am positive that none of our men had
anything to do with the hanging Of Gov.
ernor Leedy in effigy. None Of the men
will enlist in the new company. This ac-
ton on the part Of the governor has made
our boys more united than ever before

The Canadian Pacific insists upon

that 1t should be permitted to quote a
rate about 10 per cent lower on freight
than is permitted by the schedules of
the American roads. The claim has been
consistently objected to by the Ameri-
can lines and several conferences have
already been held. At the last meeting
held in Denver it was agreed by the
American lines and the Canadian Pa
c1f1c to submit the matter to board of
arbitration. The American lines chose
one member of the board, the Canadian

selected were to choose the third

from st. Michael with 100 passengers,
about fifty of whom are from Dawson.
On September Doth the Tillamook

in a serious condition. Besides her
crew she had ten passengers aboard,

unsuccessful search was made for the
barge Sterling Martin of Chicago was
left on the barge when the Fortune
Hunter abandoned her.
