UNITED WORKMEN FEAST
Happy Eading OF a Spirited Contest
For New Members

Members Of the two A. o. [. ". lodges
Of this city enjoyed themselves beyond
measure last night al a banquet held at
Peerless hall. The banquet was the out
come of contest which Peerless lodge,
No. 211, and Wichita lodge. No. %, entered
into last winter The nature of the con-
test was that each lodge should make d
canvass for members and the lodge Sc
curing the lesser number Of new mem
bers in a given time was 10 tender the
winning side a banquet. The time came
for casting up the result, and Wichita
lodge mOurned from that time until last
night, when it was impossible for a soul,
however unfortunate, to be burdened with
regret Peerless lodge gained y new mem
bers during the time Of the contest, while
Wichita lodge gained only 2. 1t was such
a wonderful season Of prosperity for the
order, however, that all A o. L. VS.
were glad that the contest was inaugur-
ated. No. p was not at all unfaithful 10
their brothers, for last night they gave
the banquet, and it was merry season
for members Of the order. TWO tables
were set in the middle Of the room, reach
ing from one end to the other, and laden
with choice delicacies for such an occa-
sion. Mr.. J. T. Mccoy acted as toastmas-
ter, and he performed his part IN a brill
liant and admirable manner. His speeches
and announcements were made in happy
vein. Speeches were made by Dr.. Taylor,
z. B. Jewett, DR.. Cave, A A. Reside,
Nick Steffen, z. 3. Messerve and A. G.
Mueller. a number of the new candidates
responded to toasts suggested by the
POSTMASTER, and there were amusing
stories told during the evening. Mr. Beer
made a Sunday school speech that took
down the house, and at the close of his
eloquent address the audience yelled
More Beer! More Beer!" The walters
were shocked.

COMING TO WICHITA
G. D, 0rput of Enid, 0. 7. Will
Move His Family Here
ON ACCOUNT OF SCHOOLS
Says Oklahoma Is One Cause
of Wichita'S Prosperity,

George D. Orput, immigration agent OF
the Rock Island road. was in the city yes
terday looking around for a suitable home
TO lease. intending to remove his family
here 10 live as soon as he can get a house.
Mr.. Orput is probably one Of the best
known men IN Oklahoma. where he mas
lived for a long time at Enid Some time
ago Mrs. Orput was suffering from a Sc
we're illness and came to Wichita for rAeG-
cal treatment After recovery she went
70 Rockford, IL. for a rest and to re-
gain her strength. and where she has
been for some months. Mr.. Orput has
always had q rather soft spot IN his heart
for the city OF Wichita and has often
wanted 70 remove here on account Of the
educa uonaI institutions 10 which he de-
sires 10 send his children and through
many circumstances combined. He has
finally decided TO become full fedged
citizen and viii remove his family here
at an early date.
When Mr.. Orput was seen by a reporter
for the Eagle yesterday he was sitting On
& baggage truck, telling the railroad boys
what a great place Oklahoma was for the
agriculturist- He said: Wheat is in first
class shape down there It IS high enough
70 hide jack-rabbits now. Corn is in fine
condition and he believed that the fruit
was all right. He added that the alfalfa
fields were never in such fine condition
WAY" ne said I know Of some places
where alfalfa will be cut in ten days,
particularly on the Walton ranch, near
Pond Creek. The crop Of wheat viii be
larger than ever before"
When asked how politics were in the
territory generally, he said: 81 never tale
any part in politics. I am no politician.
I am holding down one job that Of immi-
grafton agent for the Rock Island road
and It takes all my time to attend to
that, so politics IS 10 part OF my bust
ness"
Mr.. Orput then turned the conversation
upon The subject Of Wichita and said:
Wichita is a live business and job5ing
center i viii always be the eeatral g D
ply depot for Oklahoma towns and cities
for years 10 come, and when your city
begins 10 show up as it Is doing you can
account for some Of the reason that Okla
bona IS doing her share toward the pros
perity that Wichita IS enjoying in the
jobbing trade and general business. Build
up Oklahoma and you Will build up your
selves at the same tine, as her interests
will be yours"
Mr. Orput then said he must leave as he
was bound for Rockford, Ill, to tell his
family that he had decided TO come TO
Wichita to live and TO educate his chill
