WICHITA'S SPIRIT.

Wichita has entered heartily into the
spirit of the Twentieth Kansas reception
and the metropolis of southern Kansas
will be represented here. An Associated
Press dispatch from there today states:
In the absence of state authority to
meet the cost, the Wichita Commercial
club has decided to send the battery and
band to Topeka. next Thursday to greet
the Twentieth Kansas.
When Governor Stanley decided that he
could not order out the militia to attend
the reception, and if the national guards
came to participate in the exercises the
expense would have to be borne by indi-
VidualS instead of by the state, it a
question how to bring the battery of ar
tllery from Wichita, because there would
be not only the transportation of the bat
terry boys to be provided for, but of the
artillery as well
The Wichita. Commercial club has solv-
ed this problem and at the same time
shown commendable public spirit by
Shoulder1ng the expense of sending not
only the battery, but band well.
The Wichita battery will join with Bat
terry B in firing salutes of three guns each
as each section of the train bearing the
Twentieth Kansas rolls into the Santa Fe
depot. The batteries will be planted Just
south of the Missouri Pacific depot. When
the parade has been formed the guns Wilk
fire a brigadier generals salute of eleven
guns, and as the echoes of the last gun
die away the parade will move
The Wichita band makes the twenty
here, and swells the total number of band
800.

TRAINS ON TIME.
Indications Still Favorable For
Prompt Arrival of Soldiers.

General Passenger Agent Black of the
Santa Fe stated today that advices re
ceived showed the Twentieth Kansas
trains to be running on practically
schedule time.
The trains will reach the Santa Fe
road proper at Albuquerque tonight,
and will be over the mountains by to-
morrow morning. From Trinidad, Col.
to Topeka the run is practically down
grade, and Mr.. Black announces that
the trains will be able to make up time
if necessary after tomorrow morning.
The schedule gives the trains plenty
of time, and the speed probably does
not average over 80 or 35 miles an hour.
The trains can easily increase this to
so miles an hour in the event delays oc-
cur. There is no doubt that they will
arrive in Topeka on schedule time

USE BAND STANDS.
Will Be Occupied by Spectators Dur
ing Parade.

About the best places to view the pa
rade on the day of the reception will be
the band stands which have been erected
along the line of march by the music
committee. These stands will be used in
the afternoon and evening for concerts.
but during the parade they will not be
utilized They will be close enough to the
line to afford views both up and down the
Kansas avenue, and are well elevated At
the same time they will afford an excel
lent view of the crowd.
The executive committee last night de-
cided to place. these stands at the disposal
of the finance committee to sell the priv
ilege of using the Stands during the par
ade and the proceeds will go to the re-
ception fund.
The. finance committee can sell seats in
the stands singly, or it can sell the priv
nege of an entire stand to a single indI-
vidual as it sees fit. The latter plan was
objected to by some of the committee be-
cause it would afford an opportunity for
speculation, inasmuch parties might
buy the privilege for an entire stand and
then put the price up as high as IS seat
William Green said he considered that
no objection-he would be proud to have
the report go out that Topeka drew such
a crowd to see the Twentieth Kansas
boys that people paid IS a seat to see
them.
Taking this view of the matter the exc
cutive committee decided to allow the
finance committee to use its own judg
ment regarding the sale of the stand priv
iIegeS.

Stink! You never smelIed anything
like it. An owls nest is posy by
comparison.
Wen. while we had all this misery
we could so on the upper deck any meal
time and look in the cabin windows
and see the officers with their legs un-
der a nice snowy table, fairly groaning
with regular first class hotel fare. Say,
wouldn't any man with spirit feel sore?
Those days we had to stand it, but
now we are free men again. We don't
have to knuckIe down to anybody, and
by the hokey pokey here's one who
won't. We know all those officers home
in Kansas. They're just like us.
They're no nobility. They're swelled
up to the limit. Now, it's their turn to
keep pretty low.
War? Say, this has been a great
regiment, a crackerajack, hasn't it?
Well, I'll bet you can't find a squad out
of the whole outfit that would go back
to the front. And it isn't because of
the fighting, either, though that isn't
fun by any means. The main trouble
with military life is the airs the officers
put on. That sort of thing may do for
the regulars, but it won't do for kan
sans"

TO CALL ANOTHER CORPS.
London, Oct. 31--It is learned by the
Associated Press that the war office
has ordered a second army corps to be
in readiness to be called out.
The military officials have not vet
decided whether the consummatfon OF
the plan viii be necessary but they are
determined to have everything in readi-
ness either for a demonstration in Eur
ope of Great Britains capabilities, or
for sending even larger force to the
scene of action.
Until the receipt of the news of the
Ladysmith disaster the latter course
was considered out of the question. But
now there is no knowing what steps
will be decided upon.
