AN INDUS RIAL EXCHANGE
Women Organize an Institution for
Benevolent Purposes.

Parsons, Oct 1.-THE Woman's In
dustrial exchange for women will soon
be established in Parsons. The exchange
was first begun in some of the large
eastern cities about the close of the
civil war as a help to gentleWOnen in
reduced circumstances, and there were
many in those days. To such the ex-
change afforded most welcome relief
for in the quiet and seclusiOn of their
own homes, without publicity or the
loss of that independence and dignity
so dear to refined women, they could
earn a modest competence, each taking
whatever might be her particular spec
1alty in the line of cooking. or if they
brOidery. fancy work, gave an OppOr-
tunity to add to their slender incomes
Nothing inferior or second class will
be accepted at the exchange. Ignor-
ance, ineXperience or carelessness will
find no place on its counters, as work
in the different departments will be
submitted to a board of managers and
by them accepted or rejected. so that
If there is unexpected company the tel
ephOne will quickly tell what is to be
had at the exchange in cooked foods.
and one can have q delicious meal with
little more expense than if cooked in
ones own kitchen. Everything will be
sold in quantities to suit patrons.
An employment agency will be a faa-
ture of the exchange. The board of
managers of the exchange are Mrs.
Theo. Dinsmore, Mrs A A Osgood,
Mrs. f. H. Snyder, Mrs s E Allen.
Mrs G. NJ. Chandler. Mrs. w C. Bragg
Mrs. G. w. Gabriel, Mrs. z. B. Stevens.

AMERICA BEATS THEM ALL
So Says an Englishman Fresh From
the Old Country.

Wichita, oct. 14.-Cecn Hodgkinson,
London, England. is among the names
registered yesterday at the Manhattan
hotel Mr. HodgkinsOn is an English
man who has never before visited this
country and has come directly to Wich-
tia after very short visits in New York
and St Louis He thinks this is a most
rernarka bic country in many respects
and finds it very different from Eng
land One thing and that which sur
prises all foreigners is the size OF the
country. It can't be crossed in few
hours as can England. He says he
finds the American people much differ
ent from the English in that they are
so free and easy, SO ready to greet
stranger and make him feel at home,
take him to his house, entertain him
and give him the best to be had
Another thing which surprised him
very much is the fact that the small
towns are as progressive and up to
date as the large cities. Every small
town has it's electric lights, its street
cars and telegraph and telephone,
state of affairs found in no other coun-
try. Mr. HOdgknson, who is a gentle
man of more than ordinary intelligence,
will return to England with much
better impression of this country than
he had before he came

will be. It is expected that Colonel
Funston will be made a general shorty
and this will mean two more promotions
at least. It is universally conceded
that Lieutenant Colonel Little will be
made colonel, but who will be elevated
to this place? That is the rub.
Major Whitman is talked of but he
would be far from satisfactory to the
troops. In fact it would be most dis
pleasing as he is considered the most
unpopular officer in the regiment and
the most cordially detested.
Major Metcalf is also mentioned and
his appointment would be much more
satisfactory. as he is not only consid-
cred a thorough soldier but a gentle
man and one who never abuses his men.
Among the captains talked of for the
place is Captain Bishop of Salina who
is fully capable of filling the position
and would be accountable. H

FRIED CHICKEN
Made Capt Joe Waters Sick and a
Restaurant Keeper Mad
[From the BIZ COUNTY Citizen.l

CFrom the Elk County Citizen.1
Captain J. G. Waters of Topeka while
speaking in this city Friday, September
p, was taken i'll, and he attributes his i'll
ness to some fried chicken which he said
he ate at a restaurant up the road he hav-
ing come in on the freight from Emporia
arriving at 2:20, and he began speaking
ten minutes after he got here. Several
hundred heard his statement. and all who
were IN condition to understand any
thing know that this is correct. Yet his
sickness and statement of the case was
considered sufficient grounds for COM
munication which appeared in the Cour-
ant last week, signed by n. D. Glenn, pro-
prietor of the restaurant in this city, in
which he states that he was informed
that the captain had said that he ate the
ancient chicken in a restaurant in this
city, and as Glenn runs the only restau-
rant in Howard lie proceeds to haste the
captain for what he never said, and to al
tribute his illness to Overlooking his ston-
ach with the juice which is forbidden -
It was an unnanly and uncalled for in
suit to an old and hOnored Kansas vet
ern and reflects no credit on the parties
who made it.
