The cheapest vase on the mantle
niece never gets knocked off,

On account OF the constantly In
creasing traffic Of the Chicago Great
Western that company has placed a
rush order within the last few days
with the Baldwin Locomotive Works
for ten large 10-wheel engines. OF
these one-half are cylinder compound
and the other half simple engines. Tho
engines are of $4,000 pounds weight
and will be capable of hauling almost
any load which can be put behind
them. They are for delivery early in
February and the order will probably
be followed by another one for five or
ten more engines of the same large
capacity. The Great Western will also
let contracts next week for 700 new
box cars. -g5-

TO BANQUET THE TWENTIETH.
Kansas City Proposes a Magnificent
Welcome.

Kansas City STAR While the time
is too far distant to take up the exact
details Of the reception in Kansas
City Of the Twentieth Kansas regi.
ment, there is no question about the
popular sentiment and it is not neces-
sary to make any canvass to say
definitely that Convention hall will
be the scene OF one OF the most not.
able banquets ever held in this count
try, when Funston comes home.
II Convention hall had been built
Tor this very purpose 1t could not
have been better arranged. There is
room on the arena floor, to set tables
to which at least 2,OO0banqucters can
sit down, and the balconies provide
the spectacular accessory Of seats for
thousands Of spectators. Fancy the
vast building filled with brilliant
assemblage, except the great stretch
Of arena floor, and suddenly, with
crash Of music and the audience ris.
ing up, and the governors Of Kansas
and Missouri arising at the head Of
the table, the entree OF Colonel Funs.
ton--and his regiment! Fancy the
boys stacking arms around the hall
and sitting down with the din OF
music and the shouts Of thousands Of
spectators filling the colossal editice.
The general idea is that what Kan.
sas City does, in this instance, must
be Of the most generous and splendid
description or not at all. In must be
an affair to which the whole country
will look. 1t will not interfere with
demonstration in Leavenworth and
Topeka. In fact, the finest part Of
the plan is that the relatives OF the
soldiers may come to Kansas City
see the demonstration and perhaps
sit down at the banquet.
The first wish Of the boys will be
to see their mothers and fathers and
brothers and sisters and sweethearts,
and, right here, in Kansas City, the
railway center Of Kansas, is the very
first place for the regiment to disem-
bark from the cars, the very place to
have the reunion.

SPEAKING OF WIND.
An Old Settler Tells Of the Early

lateness OF the hour when they ar

"The next day, Sunday, was like
yesterday, only worse, and Monday
