NO INDIGNATION MEETING.
Last Meeting of the "Nilkinson Tigers"
Inst Evening.

| The First Separate company held its
regular monthly meeting at the armory
| last evening, AS it was it's last meet
| ing as an organization all the members
We're in attendance, Only the regular
business was transacted, a committee
being appointed to see to and take
charge of the removal of the property
of the company The company seemed
to feel it's enforced disbandment keenly
but aside from discussing the cause of
the action and its seeming injustice all
refrained from speaking upon the mat
ter. Captain Wilkins, from whom the
company took the name of the Wilkins
Tigers, was present and made a short
address to the company. He spoke OF
the twenty-one years of its organization,
the high standard of the company and
the soldierly qualities of it's officers and
privates He said that he admired the
men for the way in which they refrain
ed from any unsoldierly exhibition of
their feelings. The part that struck
him as being most unjust about the Or
der was that the company had not been
given a notification or chance to i'm
prove its standard if it was thought to
be weak. "The negro is noted, how
ever" he concluded, "for his obedience
to orders as well as for his bravery.
and we shall certainly not be the first to
fall
Captain Lathrop had but little to say
upon the matter. There was no indig-
nation meeting" he said'-"nothing
but the usual business meeting. Many
outsiders undoubtedly thought that it
was to be something disorderly, but +
am happy to say that they We're disap-
pointed I never saw the men so cool
over an injustice in the sixteen years I
have been with them. I only wish that
could command a company like it up
on a firing line"

GOT SIX INSTEAD OF FIVE.

As result of the recent visit to
Washington Of Col. Kerens and his
pie hunters, the democrats secured
six instead of FIVE districts. Senator
Cockrell has not fled any recon-
mendations for supervisors in the
six districts and will not do SO until
he has heard from the congressman
interested He will favor the dem
ocratic supervisors giving half of
their patronage to republican, s,
merely that the spirit Of the law
may be carried out and the census
made bipartisan. Senator Vest is
not here and probably will not take
any part in the selections.
The Kansas City district was
given to the republicans by Director
Merriam, so that assistant secretary
Davis could have George j. Basr
appointed supervisor. This arrsng-
ment was satisfactory to Cockrsll,
because ii was Mr.. Davis home.
