II. C. STEVENS ELECTED
Topeka Man Is Grand Patriarch of
T. o. O. z. Encampment.

One of the most pleasant sessions of
the Grand Encampment, I. o. 0. F. Of
Kansas, ever held was the thirty-th third
annual meeting, which met Tuesday in
Odd Fellows temple on Quincy street.
This, the highest legislative branch in
Odd Fellowship, is in a fattering con-
ditiOn, and the prospects are that the
coming year will be the most prosperous
in it's history. The encampmentS were
nearly all represented, and many were
the expressions of satisfaction given
over the good outlook.
Probably the most important matter
which was considered was the adoption
of q report which reduced the minimum
fees for the degrees from Sc to, So. This
will be Of benefit to the small encamp-
ments, which have not much expense at
tached to their management, and they
will no doubt take advantage of it and
increase their membership.
The officers chosen for the coming
year We're: II. Q. Stevens. of Topeka,
grand patriarch; Thos. Dryden, OF
Spring Hill, grand high priest; A. M
Balm, of Leavenworth, grand senior war
den; 7. c. Frazier, of CoffeyVile, grand
junior warden; Ed T. Rees, of 1eaVen-
worth, grand scribe; H. J. Aten. Hia-
Watha. grand treasurer Will j. RuSSelf,
Kansas City, grand representative to the
sovereign grand lodge; J. 1. saunders
Cheney grand marshal; J. NJ. Flad,
Frankfort, grand inside sentinel; 7. r
Kelley, Topeka, grand outside sentinel,
and w. H Kemper, Horton. grand IN
structor.
After the Grand Encampment ad-
journed last evening, Shawnee encamp-
ment No. 3, Of Topeka gave the work
of the Royal Purple degree in their hail.
TO which over 200 patriarchs were pres
ent. After this a banquet was prepared
and served in the Fifth Avenue hotel
for the visiting patriarchs, which was
partaken of by nearly 200.
Shawnee encampment feels very crate
full to the Grand Encampment, owing to
the fact that one of its own members
has Just been exalted to the highest
position in this branch Of the order,
that of grand patriarch. It has but one
member now living, r. A. Randlett, who
ever held this position and that was IN
1867 Mr.. Randlett was present, and
enjoyed the meeting.

CAN NOT SHIRK.
County commissioners Must
Look After Smallpox.

The controversy between the city and
county officials over the quarantine in
the county has at last been settled. The
county commissioners have agreed to
maintain a quarantine in the country
against smallpox cases and other con-
tagious diseases.
The statutes provide that the city
shall have the power Ito make regula-
tiOns to prevent the introduction and
spread of contagious diseases into the
city; to make quarantine laws for that
purpose. and to enforce the same, with
in five miles of the city,
The commissioners thought that the
city should be compelled to enforce
quarantine within the five mile limit.
City Attorney Bird claimed that the
city had not power to do SO. The county
commissioners, County Attorney Jet
more, City Physician Hogeboom, DR..
Swan, secretary of the state board of
health and County Auditor Hamilton
met with Attorney General GODDARD yes
terday afternoon and discussed the
matter. The attorney general said the
five mile law was not compulsory
The commissioners thought they had
no legal power to enforce quarantine,
but Mr.. GODDARD believed that they had.
It was finally decided that the county
should look after smallpox in the coun-
try.

second mortgage fives, and $4,000, 900
common stock. The first skies We're to
mature January l. 1900.
In November, 1899, a reorganization
plan was brought out, as the circular
describing it suggested in the interest
of all parties cOncerned.''
According to the reorganizers, the Chi
cago & Grand Trunk was unable to meet
the first skies at maturity without the
cooperation of the bondholders.
The bonds held by the Grand Trunk
(abOut a quarter of the isSue) We're of
course, practically sure to be assent
ing" Some of the minority holders,
however, denurred. They showed fight,
got a protective committee together, and
found a syndicate of Amsterdam bank
ers willing to buy the road, to buy their
bonds at par and interest, or to guar
antee interest for thirty years Then the
reorganization committee found the
heart to indulge the first mortgage
bondholders desires. They promised
them par and interest for their bonds,
and, further, conceded the important
addition of the Grand Trunk railway
company s unconditional guarantee OF
the interest on the new fours, to be IN
dnrsed on each and every bond.
The second mortgage bondholders had
been invited, in the first instance, to
capitulate on far more exacting terms
The committee proposed to give them
but $3.50 in new tours for each $1,000 OF
about interest during the season of re-
organization and nothing offered in the
way of a Grand Trunk guarantee At
first sight there was no promise OIL Op-
position from this quarter, and the as
sents covering a practical majority OF
the bonds seemed certain from the fact
that the Grand Trunk already owned
half the whole issue. But the minority
holders got wind of the success scored
by the minority of the first mortgage
bondholde1's and they applied for help
to some of the most expert legal author
tiles upon railway reorganization IN the
United States. The case was drawn up
and after the usual show down the re-
organization committee again executed
a graceful concession. They not only
agreed to give the holders of the seconds
$3.50 in guaranteed instead OF unguaran-
teed new first tours, but they also un~
dertOOx to pay the last coupons on the
bonds reimburse certain expenses Incur
red and finally to give them $3.50 on each
bond in so year four per cent income

serve the right to buy the latter bonds

is to be issued to it in repayment OF ad-

SOLDIERS HOME BURNED.
All But One of the 600 Inmates
Escaped.

Boise, Idaho, Oct 10-The Idaho SOL
diers' home was destroyed by fire last
night. The fire was caused by a de-
fective f1ue over the kitchen It was
about o'clock when it was found the
building was on fire. An attempt was
made to conquer the flames with buck
cts, but an appeal was soon sent to the
town for aid. The home is a mile and
a half from the city limits, and when
the engines arrived it was too late to
save the building. The loss is about
$40 900. There were 900 inmates. The
inmates were housed in the town. The
building was erected in 1896.
One inmate of the home lost his life,

required for one relief to serve the mod

on the Both of last June the enlisted
strength of the heavy batteries in the
department amounted to only 1888 men.
