made a good short speech, and drifted
away from politics for the nonce. He
stated that while he had belonged TO

"reminiscences of J. w. Bryan
and John J. ingalls,.

Especial Correspondence of The Eagle)
Wamego. Kan, July 2s.-The Modern
Woodmen of America il the counties Of
Waubaunsee and Pottawatomie have an
association which every year meets for
a 'log-rolling." The membership runs
past the hundreds. and each year the
annual meeting comprises a two days
thousand persons. This year the log
rolling was held at poreland.
A feature of the occasion is a number
of addresses by men prominent in and
out OF the organization. This year it in
Guided Representatives Chester I. Long
o. the Seventh district; W. A. Calderhead
of the Fifth; E. w. Hoch of Marion;
J. G. johnson of Peabody; John Sullivan
Of Kansas City. Representative Charles
Curtis and E. E. Murphy Of Lesvenworth
were also invited, but could not be pres
ent on account Of other engagements.
A feature Of this particular log-rolling.
as well as others Of its kind just now,
was what amounted to a joint debate
over the merits OF the proposed readjust-
ment of assessments among members OF
the order to permit acquiring a reserve
fund. This of course would be advan-
tageous, in a degree. as it would make
the order more lasting, but it has it's dis
advantages in that it puts a big. perhaps
somewhat unwieldly insurance and So
cial organization into the old line life
insurance class, in a measure. Most Of
the leading men Of the Modern Woodmen
favor the creation OF a reserve fund.
but not ]. G. Johnson. Johnson, who is
a successful lawyer and farmer on the
side,in Marion county.is national commit
teeman from Kansas, and chairman Of
the national executive committee, thereby
being the close friend of w J. Bryan.
He is also head attorney for the Mod
ern Woodmen. He is being groomed also
for head consul, the highest office in the
order. E. E. Murphy of Leavenworth, is
also a Democratic statesman. He was
one of the crowd that rather trimmed
Johnson and Mack Love at the late Wich-
tia convention, and openly avows that
he Is after Johnsons scalp by reason of
the latters membership on the national
committee. Murphy is also after the
position of head consul Of the Woodmen.
and he is now a member Of the advisory
board OF the order. So, besides being ri
walls in Democratic politics. Johnson and
Murphy are combatants in the Modern
Woodmen. This makes the present
scrap" over the proposed creation of a
reserve fund particularly of interest.

Johnson was on hand at The West
moreland log-rolling to snow up his views
on the reserve fund proposition. Muir
ply was to have been there also, but in
stead sent John Sullivan of Kansas City.
Sullivan is a young Irishman, originally
from Pottowatomie county, and now a
bright and successful attorney OF Kansas
City. Like Johnson and Murphy. he too
is considerably mixed up in Democratic
politics, and also in Woodcraft. He ex-
plotted the reserve fund ideas Of Murphy,
and he and Johnson each cleverly set
forth the pros and cons Of the propof-
ton.

also prosperous little town. St. Marys
has a good many things to entitle IL
to distinction. One is the Tracy
feud, and the natives talk interestingly of
this vendetta Mr.. Tracy was county at
torney of Pottawatomie county for four
years; then was special assistant attor-
ney general of Kansas. He had his coun-
tvs delegation at the Emporia conven-
ton in 1895 when ]. NJ. Miller walked
away with the congressional nominal
ton. But B. II. Tracy is better known
as the gentleman who failed to connect
with the position OF United States district
attorney for Kansas last winter, and R.
NJ. Chilcott Is known to fame as the
gentleman who saw that the failure to
connect was properly made. Chilcott is
an aggressive sort Of a fellow and runs
a good paper called the Times. He has
sworn eternal enmity toward Tracy. and
keeps his eye on the gentleman. Tracy
meanwhile is attending to his law prac-
tice and engaging in local politics when
he gets a chance.

St Marys is an impressive little COM
munity Of perhaps 1900 persons. 1t is in
the extreme southeast part of the coun-
ty. II is near the Shawnee, Jackson and
Waubaunsee county lines. One of the in
teresting things about the town is the
Jesuit Catholic college In lS1S the Jesuits
started mission on the Indian reserva-
ton situated here. They labored for
some years with success with the Indians
Then a little settlement sprung up. and
the town started. This was about 1854.
or a little later. just about the time OF
the Kansas-Nebraska act. The town
grew, and so did the college. It now
has many acres OF beautiful grounds
and a dozen big, substantial buildings.
There are about 400 pupils, and any num-
Der Of priests. Formerly there was a
convent here, also, but it later burned
and when rebuilt was turned into a pa
rochial school, which exists now.

Among the citizens of st. Msrys is an
old gentleman named NJ. W. Reddick,
who twenty years ago was a faithful
political friend and supporter of Governor
E. n. Morrill, when the latter was in

and was MorrilIs clerk on the committee
