CREATE A NEW OFFICE.
Triple Tie Association Will Pro-
vide For National Organizer.

Before adjourning tonight, the SUI
preme council of the Triple Tie Benefit
association of the United States. to
which E. A Enright, the Kansas City
politician is president, will select some
one to fill a new office created at this
session of the supreme council whose
duty il will be to become actively en-
gagged in increasing the membership of
the order.
The Triple Tie Benefit association
heretofore has had no national organ
izer. At this session of the supreme
body it was decided that such an officer
was needed and some one will be select
ed today to act in this capacity.
AS announced exclusively in the State
Journal last evening the supreme coun-
ell this morning decided to admit rail-
way employees to membership in the or
der and insurance will be issued to rail-
way employees in every branch of rail-
way service at a slightly increased
schedule of rates over those asked from
people in other walks of life. Railway
express messengers and postal clerks
who are in service in cars where escape
is almost impossible in case of wrecks
are considered too hazardous ana insur-
ance will not be issued to them
According to an amendment of the
constitution adopted by the supreme
council each policy holder in the Triple
Tie Benefit association will be expected
to pay the full amount of the premiums
that would accrue during his expectancy
of life according to the American eX
pectancy tables. That is. if a man dies
within a shorter period than that listed
in the tables. an amount will be de-
Quoted from the amount of the policy
sufficient to pay up his premiums for
the full period. So that if man takes
out a policy at the age of 50 years, nc
is expected to live until 20 years of age,
and premiums are assessed accordingly.
If he dies before he is 20 years old an
amount equivalent to the amount the
premiums would be during the remain
der of the time until he was 20 years old
would be deducted from the policy.
Heretofore only blood relations of
members of the Triple Tie association
have been allowed to participate in the
social features of the order.
An amendment to this rule has been
under consideration by the supreme
body today and it seems likely that the
the local councils complete jurisdiction
in allowing any one that is not con-
sidered Objectionable, to become MEM
bers of the lodge and thereby enjoy all
of the social features of the order by
paying the regular monthly dues.
The territory of the Triple Tie aSSoci-
alton includes only six states They are:
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Col
orado and Oklahoma. The six states
enumerated are considered the health
lest in the United States and a conSti-
tutional provision of the order provides
that insurance be written only to resi-
dents of those sta ties. After the order
which is now but six years old, grows
stronger, this provision may be changed
by the supreme council.

HE DIDN'T SIGN IT.
Mr.. Hughes Last Warrant For Sal
ary is Held Up.

A city warrant drawn in favor of J.
w. F. Hughes for S43.3 80 is at the Office
of the city clerk without the signature
of Mayor Parker The warrant was
drawn to pay Mayor Hughes for ten
days services, from January l to TO-
Mayor Parker has refused to sign the
check on the ground that Colonel
Hughes was not legally mayor, and
therefore was not entitled to the money.
The Hughes bill was passed by the
committee claims and accounts,
along with all the other monthly bills
Technically, the money for the month
should be paid to Mayor Parker, in
stead of to Colonel Hughes. Mayor
Parker is not only entitled, under the
law, to the 1880 for the first ten days
of January. but to the 1925 per month
which Mayor Hughes drew prior
thereto. Mayor Parker has not yet
made claim for this money, however.

NOMINEES WILL WIN.
Central Committee in Session
Today to Decide.

AT the Republican county central
committee meeting at the old court
house this afternoon for the purpose of
naming the date for the primaries for
delegates to the state convention it is
also expected that the committeeman
will vote to have the nominations
made last spring for the coming fall
election.
Oscar Swayze and c. p. Bolmar are
expected to make objections to such ac-.
tons of the committee but it is under
stood that majority of the committee
will favor the nominations holding over
So far two papers have been filed with
County Clerk Wright to the effect that
the nominations were made for the next
general election. The objections made
to them seem to be good and now the
nominees are preparing third docu-
ment to be filed.
The supporters of WEIGH and of
Troutman are in favor of the nomina-
tons holding over and both sides wish
early primaries, so little contest is ex-
pected in that direction.

TESTING THE COINS.
U. S. Assay Commission Meets in

Philadelphia, Feb 12.-The United
States assay commission appointed by
President Roosevelt to test the 1901
coinage of the mints in this city, San
Francisco and New Orleans assembled
today at the new mint here. The COM
mittee comprises the following:
Congressman j. H. Southland, Prof. w.

Taking the Republican Convention to
Wichita Causes Dissatisfaction.

There is a disposition among some OF
the politicians of the Fifth and Sixth
districts who are not lined up with
either of the extreme factions of the
Republican party, to be dissatisfied with
taking the state convention to Wichita.
They regard it as against the inter
ests of the northwest and in the inter-
est of the Seventh district, and they
ma5 resent it in the convention. The
Scandal Journal, whose editor is also
postmaster at Scandal and proprietor
of the Concordia Empire, says of the
action:
TIE people in. the northwest are in
clined to take it as a direct slap at
TIE Fifth and Sixth congressional dis
tricts as they are popularity supposed
to b.. better organized than the other
districts. And the scheme seems to
have been to get the convention as Tar
away from then as possible. -Four
years ago the convention went TO
Hutchinson, and the Seventh district
got three out of eight places on the,
ticket. This year by taking it TO Wich-
fta they probably expect to land seven
or eight out. of fifteen. After the Sew
enth is satisfied the other districts may
possibly get one apiece if there Is
enough left to go around.

Young Man Nearly Died in an

He came into the 'shop" joint of Sing

he came in, fell in commissions. DIR.

gaping horribly, and had the aspect of
a dying chicken. This was about s
O'Clock and DIR. Storrs worked with him
until 10 when DIR. Keith arrived at his
office, and then the patient was turned
over to him. The man was in such
condition that DR.. Keith had to chloro-

came in and said. GIVE him 'ope,' that's

Acting on this advice DR.. Keith gave
the man a grain and half of morphine,

life Several habitues of the place told
DR.. Keith that the commissions were not

the opium had left his system and that he
would haye been all right if he had been
able to hit the pipe.

The advantages of the new isthmian
canal route at Mandingo, as claimed by
the promoters. are as follows: 1t is
shorter than the Panama route by
about thirteen miles, it's entire length
being less than thirty miles. 1t is
as straight as a road. 1t terminates
in two perfect natural harbors, large
and deep enough for the greatest
vessels. 1t is a sea level canal. and
consequently has no locks. tide gates
nor dams. but is essentially a part
of the water system of the world,
through which shipping can pass
without hindrance or DELAY. Three
years viii be sufficient time for its
construction. Its capacity would al

under a Roadway of one mile The
tine of transit for steamships under

propulsion proposed through the tun-
nel-would be three and a half hours:
for ships not using their own power
the time by trolley towage would be
five hours. The distance to all south
Pacific ports is shorter than by other
routes; to all north Pacific and in
sular ports the certainty and rapidly

For many years past there has been
an effort put forth spasmodically to
secure change in the date of the pres
idential Inauguration. The chief argu-
ment on the side of the change has
been that the weather is usually too
severe in early March to admit of any
outdoor ceremonial. At the instance of
Senator Hoar the United States senate
has at last gone so far as to pass by
the requisite two-thirds majority a joint
resolution providing for a. constitutional
amendment which win make Inaugural
ton day the last Thursday in April.
