STATE GUARD ENCAMPMENr.
Col Macon Striving Earnestly to Obtain Rail
road Rates

The soldiers encampment at Wrights-
willie this summer seems to be more of an
assured fact now than ever before. Yes
terday Col. Francis A. Macon appeared
before the agents of the various railway
lines at the office of the Railway Com
missioner S. H. Fitzgerald, in Richmond,
and made an appeal for one-half cent
rates for the State Guard The chief OBJ
lection raised was the precedent set tor
all lines of the association in giving cheap
rates, and this question had not been
settled when Col. Macon left Richmond
yesterday afternoon. He made an earnest
plea for the rates which would make the
encampment possible, telling of the de-
pleted condition of the treasury, and
urging that if the encampment OF the sol
diers for a weeks recreation and drill
wasa to be done away with on account OF
excessive rates, that the chief incentive
to the maintenance of the State Guard
would be taken away. At the meeting
were the general passenger agents of the
Seaboard Air Line, Southern, Coast Line,
Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and Ohio
Cape Charles and Pennsylvania.

TWENTIETH REUNION
Ottawa the Center of Attraction this
Week

Ottawa, Kansas, Sept 3-The large
tabernacle at Forest Park was filled
tonight with people to hear Congress
man Chester l. Long and Senator
Harris. A large part OF the audience
was composed of soldiers, who are
now encamped in the park. Hon. j.
p. Harris acted as chairman OF to-
nights meeting, and introduced Sena-
tor W. A. Harris, who spoke for some
time. Then Congressman Long was
introduced.
In opening his address Mr.. Long
expressed his pleasure at having an
opportunity OF peaking to the Twen
tieth Kansas regiment, and his regret
that he could not be present at Topeka
when the whole State welcomed them
home. He spoke at length of the
record of the regiment in the Philip
pines, and Mr.. Long then referred to
the subsequent brilliant career of the
regiments first colonel, Fred Funston.
He recalled the fact that his promotion
o brigadier gen eral followed the cam
paign of the spring of 1899; he came
home to Kansas with them to receive
the homage and applause ofthe people
of the State. He returned to the
islands and it fell TO his lot to practi-
cally end the instruction in the
Philippines; this he did by means o
clever strategy, bravery and hardi
hood. Then Mr.. Long said:
I'm my brief official career | have
done nothing more gratifying to my
self than what | did in calling the at.
tention of the war department to the
fact that General Funston should be
rewarded for his bravean courageous
act. / was informed the first time |
called that Funston had done nothing
but carry out the plans of Macarthur;
That night MacArthur's dispatch
came giving all the credit to Funston.
The adiutant general of the army still
would not recommend his appointment
but the president made your first
colonel a brigadiergeneral in the reg
ular army, the adiutant general to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
There are now about 300 Twentieth
Kansas men and eight companies of

with flags and bunting for the oc
casion.

ment of the Twentieth men at o'clock
assisted by the First Regiment band.

WILL NOT RUSH THINGS
Contracts for the Parsons Asylum
Not to be Let.

Topeka, Sept. actual work on
the construction of the new insane
asylum at Parsons will not begin until
next spring. The state board of char
tiles has 300, 600 with which to buy a
site and build an institution, but has
no money to maintain it after it is
completed. For this reason the board
will not build the asylum until next
year. 1t will take at least nine
months to put the buildings up. The
Legislature will meet soon after that
and make an appropriation for rum
ming the institution.
District Judge 4. j. Flannelly has
appointed three commissioners to con-
denim the 640-acre site which the loca-
ton committee picked out. The state
will pay the price for the site fixed by
the condemnation commissioners.
The board will get everything in
readiness this fall and winter, includ-
ing the plans and specifications, and
as soon as winter breaks up the con-
tract for the erection of the buildings
will be awarded.

FARMS IN TERRITORY


Kansas City, Sept. 1.-The Semi
noleand Creek lands in Indian the Ter
ritory, which are now being opened for
settlement by white men. under liberal
conditions, are, according TO Horace
Speed, United States attorney for
Oklahoma, who was in the city last
night, as good as any in the Middle
west and he can not understand why
any man living in this section should
go northwest to seek u home while
they remain unoccupied.
"There are 375. 600 acres of land in
the Seminole country and $500, 900 in
the Creek, " said Mr.. Speed. "In the
Seminole country there is room for
20, 600 farmers, and in the Creek coun-
try for $1,000. | expect to see 100, 600
people go in there within the next
twelve months"
Regarding the conditions of entry,
Mr.. Speed said:
This land has been divided among
the Seminoles, and they have taken
titles, each for his individual allot-
ment, with the power to lease, but not
at present power to sell The mat
ter of leasing the Seminole lands is in
the hands of Governor Brown and
their attorney, Mr.. A S. McKennou,
formerly of the Dawes commission,
now located at Wewoka, /. Y. They
are now leasing these lands for six
years to farmers only, upon very lav-
orable terms. The lands to be leased
are many of them as choice as are to
be found in the United States, and
many of them are ready for immediate
cultivation. Others win have to he
fenced, houses erected upon them ana
the land broken out.
More desirable lands have not been
opened in the United States within the
last twenty-five years. The leases will
cost less than the taxes on an ordin-
AIRY farm in an older state"

NOT AN UNUSUAL AUGUST
No Extremes ofTemperatme, Slightly
Dryer Than the Average.

Lawrence Kansas, Sept. 1.-The
weather report for August, just issued
at the University of Kansas, says:
The month just closed was, on the
whole, an average August though in
some respects it differed nota bly, from
the mean of our thirty-three years re-
cord. Its mean temperature was two
degrees abo.e the August average.
but the extremes of temperature were
by no means great, and the number
of hot days was not unusual The
rainfall was somewhat less than the
average amount, the total rainfall for
the year 1901 thus far completed re-
naming about four inches below the
average for the same months in the
thirty-three years preceding. The
month was considerably clearer than
usual, and the total run of wind was
much below the average, being less
than for any other August on record.
The relative humidity was slightly be-
low the average, and the mean baro-
meter was normal. The mean tenn
perature was 1851 degrees. The
highest temperature was 9S degrees,
reached on the 25th; the lowest was G2
degrees, on the 9th and 3lst. The
rainfall was 3.46 inches, which is SO
of an inch below the August average.
The entire rainfall for the eight
months of 1901 now completed is Asa
inches below the average for the same
months in the thirty-three years pre-
ceding. Rainin measurable quantities
fell on six days; in quantities too
small for measurement, one day.
