WILL HELP DENVER.
G. A. r. Men Try to Prevent Change
of Eneampment-

Kansas Grand Army men are wrought
up over the discrimination evident
against Denver for the next annual en-
campment. The 1uke-warmness OF some
of the railroads and subsequent action OF
the G. A. r. executive committee in op-
ening the race for the encampment to
any competing city has aroused a dis
position to strongly back up Denvers
claim In G. A. r circles here
They view the official assurance Of the
Rock Island and Burlington for a I cent
a mile rate as sufficiently binding as
contract entered into with the represen-
tatfve of the Western Passenger asset
alton The G. A. r. committee has IA
ken the ground that the conditions i'm
posed upon Denver, namely that Of Sc
curing a I cent a mile rate basis from
the railroads has not been complied
with
The department Of Kansas will not
only have a sentiment for Denver in
this fight. but will take some action and
present its weight to the meeting Of the
G. A r executive committee that viii
be held in St. Louis Jan 21- A repre-
sentative may be sent to this council.
Speaking Of the wholly unexpected an
imoSity to Denver shown in the commit
tee. Department Commander Martin
said:
1T is a very odd position the executive
committee has taken One would con
slider an official assurance by two lines
such as the Burlington and Rock Island
fulfIls the proyiso put upon Denver at
the Chicago convention. This depart
ment is with Denver in this matter and
will take it up in any way possible to
give assistance at the coming meeting
of the council
Major Anderson said Denver is enti-
tied to the encampment without doubt.
That the fight among the railroads was
only parallel TO that Of 1892, when the
Knights Templar held their grand con-
cIave in Denver. The Rock Island put
in a cent a mile rate. The Santa F-e cut
the rate to SO from Missouri river points
and $12 from Chicago. He said the Rock
Island cleared $171, eco on the Denver
business and stopped running freight for
three days during the time.
Cleveland, O., is no favorfte for the
next encampment, as the distribution Of
past favOrs shows Denver to be the log
ical and geographical location for the
honor The c. A r encanpments have
been held in the past as follows.

MRS. KING ARRIVES.
COIOred Woman With Smallpox
Allowed to Enter City.

There was a runnor this morning to the
effect that there are several smallpox
cases IN the city and the city physician
and the sanitary department have been
kept busy listening to inquiries over the
telephone.
The report evidently started from the
fact that Mrs. King. the colored woman
with smallpox. arrived yesterday from
Garrett. Mrs King walked all of the
who were on the lookout for her along
the route She had no sooner arrived at
her home. 200 Van Buren, street than she
was taken in charge by the sanitary de-
parrment and was taken to the pest
house. The house was fumigatGd and
every precaution taken to prevent con-
tagfon. The house has been watched for
the past three days In anticipation Of her
arrival
There is another case which was taken
to the pest house yesterday and these are
the only cases at present under the
charge Of the city. The last case is that
of Jim Dahlgren- He was taken sick
several days ago and did not know what
was the matter. When he found out he
went to the police station, but was stop
