FOR A REINFORCEMENT
Wilde Association Of Odd Fellows
Will Divide seventh Soon

The executive committee of the Wilde
association of Odd Fellows of this district
has been very busy of late preparing for
the big convention of the association here
on April %. Nearly every hall in town
has been secured by the committee There
are three grades Of this association, the
subordinate, Rebeccas and the encamp-
ment. and each will wish simetime during
the day to hold a session by itself so
the necessity of having the several diff
ferent halls arises. Five thousand people
from out of town will be in Wichita that
day and it will be a lively one.
The Toler has been secured for the main
meeting. One of the most important mat
ters which Will come up in this meeting
will be the question of reapportionment
of the districts in the state. IT, is the
same proposition that the Kansas state
legislature has been batting around. Tho
same trouble in both politics and lodge
matters prevails. he Seventh congress
siona district, which has always been
used by the association as a division, is
too long from east TO west 1t is pro-
posed to make a new district which will
probably be composed of Sumner, Reno.
Mcpherson, Harvey and Sedgwiek of the
Seventh in combination with a number Of
the Third.
While here the encampment will confer
degrees on fifty candidates.

ARE PLEASED WITH BILL
are Glad McMi1len Bill
VIII RecOme a LAW.

There was a good deal of jubilation in
this city yesterday when ii became gen
orally known that the McMillen bill. max
ing the railroad commissioners Vi this
state elective by the people, had passed
both houses of the legislature. Wichita
has contributed good deal of work to Sc
cure the passage of this bill. ]. z. How
ard, representing the chamber of COM
merce and the state millers association,
and II L. Resting. representing the COM
mercial club have been in Topeka all
week to secure the passage of this bill
and a number of persons in this city who
were interested in the passage of the
measure used the wires and mails to
members of the committee and legisla-
ture asking them to report the bill IA
vorably and TO work for its passage.
The bill passed the senate a week ago
and has been lying in apigeon hole of the
chairman of the railroad committee OF
the house until the men representing the
comercial organizations sent letter TO
the committee asking them to dig up and
report the bill. The pressure was so
strong that the opponents of the bill In the
committee were forced TO report favora-
bly, and when the members of the house
found a favorable report and that it had
been passed by the senate they voted
unanimously to have it become law.
The measure when it becomes a law
gives the commissioners a great deal
more license in ruling and also more pow
er 10 enforce their rulings. something
that has not been within their prerOga-
tive. The governor is empowered TO ap-
point men to nil vacancies in the board
until the election Of l9oi when the COM
rnissioners Will be chosen by the people
FOR the first time.

Victor Murdoch Has Friends in the
Western Counties.

George Adams returned yesterday from
Alva in Woods county, Oklahoma, where
he had been on legal business. Mr.. Adams
if he could have absolute power to change
the geography of the country at the pres
ent time, would add Wods and Woodward
counties Oklahoma, to the Seventh con-
gressional district, so that he would bring
about the nomination of Victor Murdoch
long before the convention is held and on
a first choice vote. He says there is but
one sentiment in the two counties and 1t
is strictly and exclusively Murdoch. Hon
Temple Houston. the brilliant citizen and
lawyer. said that although he is a Demo-
crat. he would vote for Victor if he were
in Kansas David Marum said Woodward
county would like 10 give him sixteen
delegates, and Colonel Snoddy says he
would like, if IL were possible. to bring
sixteen more to him from Woods county.

Three and a half to one is the latest bet
made in favor of the election of Ben
Mclean. The bet was made last night
and was sS5 10 80. lit was taken and
Immediately after another one was Of
fered without a taker. Considerable
money is being wagered but while the
odds are largely in favor of Mclean
more than TO 1-they are irregular For
instance, while one man got a 21s TO 1
bet in one place, the odds of 3I1 TO l were
given not more than half a block away.
There should be no reason for this ex-
cept difference Of judgment and en-
thusiasm. The judgment is general that
Mclean will score a big victory but in
the respect of his majority there are
various opinions. Some are enthusiastic

PENSIONS FOR
YOUNG SOLDIERS
Who Were Injured by Pre-
mature Explosion of Cannon.
MEMORIAL D.
Geo Halter Gets $4,000 and
Bert Davis $500.

The Kansas legislature yesterday ap-
propriated $1,000 as a pension to George
Halter as compensation for the injuries
he received here last Memorial day from
a premature explosion of the gun in Bal
tefy 4, Kansas National Guard George
Hatters right arm was blown of and
two other members of the battery were
injured.
Last Memorial day the battery was
called out TO fire a salute 10 the dead
soldiers. They were firing the salute
on West Douglas avenue. near the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot The gun had just
been swabbed after q charge and an
other charge was being placed in the
breech. IN closing the breech-lock, by
some means which has never been ex-
planned the powder exploded before the
lock was closed. Mr. Halter was stand
ing just at one side of Tie gun when the
explosion occurred. He received the full
force of the charge. His right arm was
torn away at the elbow and he WIS
badly powder burned.
William Alexander and Bert Davis were
two other members OF the company stand
ing close when the explosion occurred
Bert Davis was badly burned about the
face and chest and bruised some. His
eyesight has been impaired. The legisla-
ture by the same bill giving George Hat
ter a pension appropriated $500 for Mr..
Davis. William Alexander was not ssr-
iously injured aside from a few powder
burns and was in the hospital but short
time. No appropriation was granted
him. The others were in the hospital
for several weeks.
Bert Davis and William Alexander are
still members Of Battery A, but Mr.. Hat
tiers has received an honorable discharge.
The gun used on that day was one of the
new ones and the explosion was a sur
prise to everyone familiar with guns of
this make.
