and Large Attendance Is
Expected.

Hutchinson, April 25.-One OF the
largest crowds that has attended a G.
A. r. encampment in Kansas for years

man. The relative strength of the two
candidates is as yet unknown, the
friends of each claiming to have excel
lent prospects. The election will be on
Thursday. Gen. Black of Illinois, an
aspirant to the post of national COM

AIDED CARNEGIE ONCE
And Now the Millionaire Will Have
a Bust Made of the Late Col
Anderson

Manhattan, April Pa departed
Kansan has been honored by Andrew
Carnegie. the steel plate millionaire.
Mrs. J. b. Anderson, wife of the late
Col. Anderson of this city, has received
a letter from the millionaire, request
ing permission to have a bronze bust
statue of the late colonel made by
French sculptor and placed in the new
free library at Philadelphia, which Car
negie has lately endowed.
There is a reason for this honor. and
the occurrence that brought it about
savors of former days, when charity
and chivalry predominated and the
greedy fingers of trusts and combines
were as yet unknown. Carnegie was a
poor boy with no resources at his COM
mand to procure an education, so An
derson extended to the aspiring youth
the use of his library, which was at
once accepted, and now to show his
appreciation for the kindness the col
onel once did him, Carnegie proposes to
place his bust in a conspicuous place in
the new library at the Quaker city.

COGHLAN WRITES LETTER.

be reported in the public press. AS
they did appear he said, they were ex-
aggerated and distorted and he was
made TO say things which he did not
utter. He claims that under the circum-

the president to further discuss the

much consideration as is consistent
with naval discipline.

some days ago for the presidents visit
