On September %, the state executive
committee met in Topeka and formally
turned over to the executive committee
appointed by your club all the details
and responsibilities of the reception.
Since that time up to the present there
have been many meeting of all the var
ious committees for the purpose of con-
Sidering the numerous details of the
work assigned to each committee.
1t is a. source of pleasure to state in
this connection that the utmost har-
mony prevailed among the committees.
The finance committee, upon whom fell
the burden of soliciting the funds, were
Industrious and successful in their
work, receiving from the citizens of To-

PYRAMID FIGHT.
Supt of Insurance Says q Good Word
For the Order.

The state department of insurance, since
the fight has been instituted against the
Ancient Order of Pyramids, has received
frequent inquiry concerning the organi-
cation The department takes no notice
of the quarrel within the organization
and bases its estimate of the order upon
the fact that it has complied with the
laws of the state.
The law under which fraternal. benefic-
larry organizations are admitted to the
state under the supervision of the state
insurance department was passed last
winter The Pyramids have complied with
the provisions of that law as will be seen
from the following letter written by w.
V. Church, superintendent to NJ. B. Pile,
secretary of the local lodge at Wellington:
i have your favor as to the Ancient
Order of Pyramids Of Kansas City, and
beg to say, this society has complied with
the fraternal beneficiary laws of Kansas
and its Standing IS largely governed by
see no reason why the lodges contract
would not be good if its members staid
with it. Their report on file in this de-
partment shows a healthy condition and
should show healthier one in their next
statement which will be filed January 1.
I would consider its policies good Of
course you will have to be your own Judge
when you buy insurance as all we can
do is to have the companies comply with
the law and in case they do not comply,
then they will be Ousted from the stale"

CARNEGIE CONDEMNS WAR.
Says England and United States Ara
Disgraced.

New York, Nov. 9.-Andrew Carnegie
and Mrs. Carnegie We're passengers on
the White Star steamship Oceanic
which arrived at her pier today from
Liverpool. Mr.. Carnegie appears in
good health. He said to a reporter that
the report that he intended to become
a subject of Great Britain, was without
foundation, for he said: Where a
mans treasure is, there his heart is
also"
Speaking of the present war between
England and the Beers. Mr.. Carnegie
said: THE war against the Beers is
most infamous and unjust and it was
brought about by England's lust for do
main and is on a par with our attack
on the poor FilipinOs These two at
tacks are disgrace to both branches
of our race.
1.-The people in the Transvaal and the
Orange Free States have a right to rule
themselves. one war is an attack on
an existing and the other on an en-
bryOnic republic.
1T is worse for US to attack the Fill
pinOs than for England to attack the
Beers; for we fall from a greater height
as we believed in government by the
consent of the governed.
THE best men of England have spO-
ken against the war in the Transvaal
and everywhere it is deDIored except by
those whose interests are served by it.
They are a small clique of JingOeS
headed by statesman, I am sorry to
say, who sees in the war a chance to
fOrtify his position"
Mr.. Carnegie entertained decidedly
optimistic views of the business out
look and the prosperity of the coun-
try He said:
4 can only look at the business out
look here from abroad which is some
times a good point of view. 1 believe
that nothing can stop 1900 from being a
year of great prosperity, always pro-
Vided that in view of the present excl
ted state of the world and the danger
of war begetting war. the United States
keeps out of the struggle. Now that
this country has foreign possession
there is more danger than ever"

sEATON AGAINST LELAND
Atchison Statesman Says the Boss
Has Mistreated Him.


The Leavenworth Times printed the
following in Wednesday mornings pa
per:
You may put it down in black and
white that I am unaIterably opposed
to Cy Leland and will fgh- him from
now until the bitter end" said Captain
John Seaton while in LeavenwOrth last
night. Understand this is in politics
only" continued Captain SeatOn- so
far as Leland is concerned as a bust
ness man I have nothing against him,
but he has continued to heap abuse on
me in every manner and every place
until I am tired of it. L have done
nothing to antagOnfze him, but that
does not make any difference; he never
loses a chance to attack me by lnvld1-
Gus remarks and mean charges This
fight has nothing to do with his Opposi-
ton to me for governor last year. II
he wanted to oppose me for that, It was
all right and I took my defeat as grace
fully as / could. That Is all passed
and I would have been willing to keep
peace if he had not continued his
abuse.
This spirit of opposition to Leland
is not confined to a few of us, either.
It is all over the state, and before next
year rolls around there will be an or
ganizatiOn so strong that when Leland
comes up for anything, no matter
what. he will be turned down so com
pletely that he can never again hope
for anything at the hands # the Re
publican party in Kansas.
In Atchison county we have just
been waiting for this election to pass
TO organize our forces. The county is
so strong against Leland he cannot
carry it for anything We have men
in AtchisOn county who Will not be
dictated to by a petty federal office
holder and boss politician like Leland.
4 have always been for harmony in
the party, regardless of my personal
feelings, but so long as there is to be
fight against Leland, am in it and
will stay in it.
Here is an instance OF Leland's an
tagOniSm to me: Last winter, when the
organization of the house was being
completed, he sat in the hotel and at
tempted to dictate the appointments of
the house He told Steve Osborn he
could be speaker if he would not ap-
point John SeatOn on any of the COM
mittees. He said to Steve; That man
SeatOn is no good. L don't want him
on the railroad or the ways and means
committee 1 don't want you to put him
on any important committees
4 heard about this afterwards Steve
Osborn replied to Leland that I was a
good man and if he was made speaker
of the house he would use his judgment
IN making up the committees, and if
he saw fit he would appoint me"
