WICHITA,s PATRIOTISM.

Some outside papers say that Wichita
Is hoggish about wanting TO fiji the new
regiments which Kansas is entitled 20.
They don't understand the meaning of pat
riOtism. Wichita, TO say the least, is in
tensely patriotic. For instance, Mr.. H.
H. Henderson, has a company who are
willing and want to join the engineer
corp Lane Fisher is organizing a com
pany of cavalry. George Downing has
well drilled artillery company. Ed Mar
chant has a full company of infantry,
and the colored men, under the leadership
Of W. A. Belts. have nearly enough for
a company. 1t i'll BELTS the outside towns
like Topeka and Kansas City, No, 10
howl about Wichi\. She always has and
always will discount them on most any
old proposition, and especially when it
comes TO furnishing soldiers.

WICHITA HAD THREE TREES.

Wichita is fast becoming a city of shade
trees and foliage. Dick Cogden used TO
declare that when he came 10 this cOun-
Try many years ago there were just three
trees between this city and Denver. Now

WERE FITTED FOR WAR.

When the first regiment of volunteers
was raised in Wichita six tramps joined.
They had been sleeping in a sand bank
northwest of the city near the Missouri
Pacific for six weeks. One of them when
ne boarded the train TO go away said to
Mr.. Murphy of the Missouri Pacific:
''WeIl fight. None of US have slept in
house for six years and we are prepared
for camp life. When we get on our uni
forms you would not know us" They
write back a line now and then to Harry,
Missouri Pacific yards, Wichita. Kan.

JOE CAMPBELL. VOLUNTEERS.

Joe Campbell. who for years lived in
Wichita. in fact went to school here and
grow to manhood, son Of Judge W. P.
Campbell-Tiger Bill-has enlisted in bat
terry B, first battalion heavy artillery Of
California volunteers. He goes to Manila.
He is probably the first Wichita boy to
go to Manila. If he is anything like mis-
father. he will make a good soldier and
well be a terror to the Spaniards. Old
timers can remember when his father
together with some other citizens in the
early seventies, ran some cowboys out of
town who had come in 10 take it.

TOO MUCH SHADE.

Two wears ago it was found that Wich-
ita had too much shade. The council re-
quested or passed an ordinance making
it compulsory to cut out the trees at
given distance. When the city was first
settled the citizens desiring shade planted
the variety of trees which would grow the
fastest. This happened to he cottonwood
trees. Now these same cottonwood trees
in the early spring shed cotton. which
flies everywhere, much to the annoyance
Of the pedestrians and housekeepers. Now
the cottonwoods are disappearing and
hard wood trees are taking their place.

WICHITAs POPULATION CHANGE

An old-tirner remarked yesterday that
he had lived in Wichita since ~ but he
found that each year he knew less people.
He asserted that he knew more people in
S7 than he did today, and then the popu-
lation was continually changing. 1t is
a fact, however, that the population in
Wichita has entirely changed. with few
exceptions. during the past few years. II
is more than likely though that the pres
ent citizens are here to stay. judging from
the permanent improvements and the
number of people who have bought homes.
This is the best criterion to so by.

TELEGRAM sCAREs THEM.

Wichita real estate men are getting
afraid OF the telegraph wire. IN nearly
every instance where they have had an
offer for local property owned by some
man living away from the city and tele
graphed the nonresident, the said non
resident has Historically replied that the
property is not for sale. a telegram
seems to bring on an attack of boom

the mails which excite owners less.

PHOTOGRAPHING DEAD PEOPLE.
1t is said that Wichita once had pho
tographer who could photograph dead peo-
pie better than any other artist living.
Usually photographers can not get a good
picture and say so. This artist. who is
now living, in another city. could get good
pictures. He insisted on being left alone
with the body and arranged it so that it
looked natural.

NOT so MUCH RAIN AFTER ALL

Everybody is of the opinion that it has
rained more during the present month
than ever before, but the figures in DR..
Johnson's office do not say so. Up to
date this month. it has only rained SAG
inches. There have been several Mays
which surpassed this one in the amount
of rain fall. However, everybody viii be
satisfied if it will quit long enough to let
the wheat head out and be gathered.

sTArEsvInLE's SMALLPOX.
Cases Under Treatment and Those
That Have Recovered.

All the smallpox eases which have
developed in and around Statesville
and all the suspects persons who
have been exposed to the discase-so
far as known, are now in camp mile
and half from town, says the Land
mark. There We're in the camp Thurs
day 81 persons, including nurses,
guards, cases under treatment, pa
tlents who have recovered and sus-
poets. There are ten cases under treat
ment, and this number includes those
from town and those from Belmont
two miles southeast of town. Nine
persons who have recovered are de-
tanned in camp until they can be prop
erly disinfected before being dis
charged. Some OF these-as many as
are needed will be detained at the
hospital as nurses for the sick.
There are in the camp of detention,
located some distance from the hos
pital 81 persons who have been expos
ed to the disease. They will be held
until the period OF incubation is
passed. Some of those who had been
exposed To the disease were very OBJ
stinate about going 10 the camp and
others ran away to avoid it, but so
far as known all exposed persons have
been taken there, some of them by
force.

X. OFF. GRAND LODGE.
Delegates Came Tome Friday Night
Excellent Reports Made.

The delegates to the Grand Lodge
Knights of Pythias returned from Will
mington Friday night. Judging from
the reports published in the Whining
ton papers this session has been a de-
lightful and successful one. 1t is un-
derstood that the next session will be
held at Fayetteville.
The Grand Chancellor's report
showed that since the last meeting
lodges had been instituted at the fol-
lowing places: Elkin, Chapel Hill,
Troy, Rutherfordton, Rowan, Worth
vile, China Grove and Bessemer City,
all of which started with bright pros
poets. The report also showed that
three lodges, North WilkesborO, No.
81, Piedmont, No. 96, and Excelsior,
No. - suffered loss by fire during the
year. 1t was recommended in Grand
Chancellor Rickert's report to divide
the domain into eight instead of six
districts. 1t was further recommended
that some one or more well informed
Knights be appointed to coniuct a
school of instruction at each conven-
tion of the Grand Lodge, as new MEM
berS come to the Grand Lodge every
year expecting to get instruction in
secret work, and are always disap-
pointed.
Grand Keeper of Records and Seals
w. L. Hollowell's report showed that
in the Domain there are IS active
lodges with a membership of 4,025, a
net gain of 400 members; that ST, 300. 30
had been expended by the subordinate
lodges for relief during the year; $l6,
