ONE HUNDRED NEW MEMBERS
Result of GaIena's Challenge or

One Of the most enthusiastic gatherings
ever witnessed in Wichita lodge events
was the Joint meeting of Wichita Lodge
No % and Peerless Lodge No. 2l1, y. o.
L. w. last night. The regular lodge
room was found to be too small to hold

the large. or Peerless hail was secured
for the evenings work. over 100 new
members witnessed the work last night
for the first time, and this is but small
proportion of those who have been
initiated during the month
The reason for this outbreak Of enthu-
siasm is that the Galena Kan. lodge
has challenged both lodges in this place

also the Massachusetts jurisdiction has
challenged the Kansas jurisdiction on the

PLANS ARE DRAWN
For NJ issouri Pacifc's New
Depot at Wichita.
TWO STORIES HIGH
To be One Hundred Feet Long
and Built of White Stone.
TWO STORIES HI
HIGH

The Missouri Pacific will build fine
two-story stone depot on the site of the
present station, corner Of Second and
Wichita streets. This has been definitely
determined upon and the plans for the
building are already drawn and have been
sent here for inspection and approval by
Division Superintendent Webb. For years
Wichita public men have been urging the
construction Of new Missouri Pacific sta
ton on West Douglas avenue and at one
time, year ago, the matter Of putting
up a fine passenger house on the corner
OF Wichita and Douglas or Water and
Douglas was seriously contemplated by
the company officials at ST. Louis. This
would have put all the depots in the city
on Douglas avenue and added to the at
Effectiveness Of West Douglas particularly.
1t would have also been a great convent
ence to the patrons Of the road by put
ting its station closer in. Hundreds of the
leading citizens Of the city were anxious
to see the proposition settled this way,
for besides being a great deal more con-
venient to travellers over the line, and
to shippers, it would have added ma
terially to the volume Of passenger traffic.
Eighteen months ago the ground on
Douglas could have been bought for at
most 5000, though now it would require
81, 600 or $1,000 for the same property This
quick increase of values is partially due
to the general conditions of extraordinary
business revival but the rumor that the
Missouri Pacific figured on the property
led the owners to double figures. This in
crease in the selling price led TO the de-
termination of the road officials to put
the new station where the old one is and
the decision is final 1t has not been
decided just when the work of construc-
ton will actually begin but 1t Is promised
that there will be no unnecessary delay.
The building is to be of fine white stone
construction Of the court house. 1t will
be one hundred feet long and two sto-
ries high, with a two hundred-foot plat
form. On the first floor will be a double
ticket office, private office for the pas
senger agent, two twenty-foot waiting
rooms, baggage and express room. On
the second floor there will be the elegant
offices for the division superintendent,
train dispatcher, train master and road
master All in all the station will be one
Of the finest in the state 1t is very prob
able that the city ticket office will still
be maintained, though this would have
been abolished had the station been loca-
ted on West Douglas avenue.

COMPLIMENT TO DOLD PLANT
Sumner County Lady Speaks of the
Wichita House


All during the Street Fair week the Dold
packing house was daily visited by many
out Of town callers, both regular custom
ers who had been for years trading with
this house but had never visited 1t in
person, and others who were here to see
the sights, and from hearsay had known
of the place and desired to see it. Nearly
all expressed surprise at the magnitude
Of the plant and the business carried on,
and all were eloquent in their recital
of the courtesy extended to them by the
management, the several heads Of de-
partmentS and the guides. Everywhere
they met with the most welcome treat
ment, and it was a busy week, too, both
at the house and at the splendid booth on
display at the piazza. One feature was
especially noticed and that was the clean
illness all through the house. Each night
after the last whistle blows, all the divis-
ions turn in for a thorough cleaning Of
their rooms. Scalding hot water is played
upon the floors, tables, utensils and all
articles used during the day, with the
result that everything is found white and
absolutely clean all through the house.
The Belle PLANE Defender in general
mention of the visitors from that point to
Wichita, gives a detailed report Of one
Of the prominent ladies from there who
visited the Dold packing house and their
booth, among other Of the attractions,
and she has this TO say: I'VE called al
both the Dold institutions, and 1 was
surprised to note the cleanliness OF the
various departments Of the house, ana
I must say no housekeeper's kitchen in
Belle PLANE or elsewhere IS more care
fully cared for. Everything was IN order
and neatly handled. We were courteousiy
treated and enjoyed the visit. At the
booth the same system prevailed and

cy to any one day. Robert Burns en-
shrined some Of the weird superstitions
and practices native to Scotland in his
poem on Hallowe en-.
An ancient rite is placing three bowls
or dishes on a table, clear water in one,
milk in another, and the third remaining
empty. The person interested is blind
folded, taken to the edge of the table and
carefully turned around by the leader.
She then reaches out toward the dishes,
and if her hand dips into the one con-
tanning milk, she will win rich and
handsome lover; if into the one with wa
ter, she will beyond all doubt marry
widower-horrors! and if into the empty
one, she viii remain single, which is
doleful. If any one has a desire to know
what Dan Cupid had marked him or her
for his own. that, too, is a matter most
easily deciphered. Twelve candles are
lighted and set on the floor in rows of
three. They must be jumped over If
none of them is blown out, prepare to
tear Cupid's dart from your bleeding
breast and know that he will handcuff
you to the altar of Hymen within the
year Each candle snuffed out viii rep
resent a year. If they are all put out the
young woman may as well resign herself
to cats and eternal spinsterhood.
If a young woman has the courage, she
may gaze upon the face of the man the
gods have chosen for her. Just at mid
night if the cats are not barking, she
must walk backward down the cellar
stairs. She must be alone and have no
light except the candle she carries. She
must eat an apple on the way down and
on the bottom step the apple must be
plumb-eaten-
Nuts and apples appear to be favorite
mediums on this evening. Apples were
the favorites Of Adam, and the kernels,
of Eve-aOcording TO the Scriptures.
In stepping out of the dark ages over
the intervening centuries it might be safe
to venture that the festival Of HallOw-
mas has sadly degenerated. A movement
is on foot to petition the police to have
more order observed this evening. All
small boys who transgress on property
in Wichita will be brought up before
Judge Mitchell.
