INSURANCE AGENTS
PAY FOR FIRE RUN
Wichita Fire Department viii
Give Illuminated Exhibition.
)NE NIGHT OF FAIR
Visitors That Week Will Be
Royalty Entertained.

Yesterday the insurance agents Of the
civ announced that they would take
hand in making the Southern Kansas Fair
and Carnival in Wichita success in
ever way and that they would pay the
expenses for an illuminated run of the
Wichita fire department one evening dur
ing the week.
The insurance men helGe meeting, when
it was decided to prorate the expenses
of the evenings entertainment among
all of the agents in the city. which would
make the expense very light for the in
dividual All arrangements have been
made with Chief Walden and his men for
a magnificent run this year of at least
three blocks on North Main street and
i've on East Douglas avenue.
Each of the wagons of the department
except one engine and the hose wagons
of stations Nos. and 4. will be used.
They will be decorated with flowers and
in every available spot candles Of differ
ent colors will be fastened. The members
of the companies aside from the drivers
given during the run. Colored lights are
to be stationed at various points along
the route of the run.
Thousands of people witnessed the il
Illuminated fire run of the department two
years ago. The run was certainly a
magnificent one. with the wagons. Gov
cred with different colored lights and
fireworks shooting from each one, dash
ing down the street The run ended with
a pompier ladder drill at the Carey hotel
Chief Walden promises a much better
run this year The fireworks will be
better and of a greater quantity and the
drill at the end of the run will more
clearly show the efficiency of the Wich-
tia fire department than the one of two
years ago.
The run will be made by two hose
wagons, the chemical engine, the hook
and ladder truck and the big steamer.
besides Chief Walden and his road wagon.
The insurance men will provide for
only one Of the free entertainment feat
ures of the week and theirs will be one of
the most thrilling and exciting events
that could be imagined. Wichita people
pride themselves on her fire department
make runs, but the ordinary run sinks TO
insignificance with the illuminated fire
run of the department provided for the
entertainment of the citys guests during
her festal week. Thus far three big feat
ures have been secured for the entertain
ment of the people during the week aside
from the attractions at the fair grounds
and the Pike There will be the flower
parade. the illuminated run of the fire de-
partment and the burlesque parade Of
the jokers of the city. These will not
fill every night of the week when the
people are seeking entertainment aside
from the shows. and the fair association
are hard at work on other schemes to
provide plenty of entertainment for the
people who come here.
Wichita pays the bills this year. the
business men have said so, and the
insurance agents, not to be outdone by
the generosity of representatives of other
lines. determined TO aid in the fair by
furnishing an illuminated fire run at
their own expense.

otto orders of this city are doing
a good work at the cemetery.
The movement was started some
weeks ago by one of the Ladies
of the Grand Army. She sue
ceeded in interesting one of the
comrades, 0. P. Webster, of the
U. V. US. and Post II, in the
subject of clearing off the ground
and enclosing the Grand Army
lots in the cemetery. Comrade
Webster visited the six different
patriotic orders and interested
them in the movment, and in
|'duced them, each. to appoint a
committee of one to labor togeth-
er for the accomplishment of the
work. The committee consists
of Louis Thayer, Post, IA. S. C.
Brown, Post II. O. p. Webster
U. V. U. Mrs. Green, w. R. C.
Mrs, S. L. Brown Ladies of the
Grand Army, Mrs. Plopper, U.
V. U. The committee met, by
appointment at the cemetery, to
organize and to look over the
ground with comrade McCor-
mick. While there an organiza-
ton was effected by the election
of 0. P. Webster Chairman and
S. c. Brown Sec. and Treas. It
was decided to enclose the north
plat, at once, with a low wall of
artificial stone, and the south
side as soon as the money could
be raised. A call was circulated
a few days later, for volunteers
to go out and clear off the ground
and twenty-seven comrades re-
sponded. The two p1ats were
not only cleared off. but the
drive-ways on all sides were
cleared of grass and weeds and
the east and west drive was
cleaned to the east gate and all
the rubbish was hauled off the
ground. When the committee
was notified that the stone and
cement was on the ground anoth-
er call was made for men to lay
wall. Comrades Schroll and
Graves and Charlie Harrod offer
ed their services free, and other
comrades went out to assist.
Unfortunately the Stone Co. had
not furnished enough stone to
complete the wall, and it had to
be left unfinished. But the stone
will be furnished in a few days,
and then the work will be COM
pleted on the north plat. Several
persons who have friends buried
on the Soldiers lots have vo1un-
tarily offered to contribute to-
ward the enclosures. The COM
mittee is grateful for these offers
and any others that may be vol
UNFAIRLY presented, as the patri-
otto orders have no very large
surplus in their treasures. The
outlay will be at least $40 for each
plat.

Sryan's Tribute to Roosevelt,

There seems to be no reason to doubt
the authenticity of Mr.. Bryan's Iowa City
interview in which he said, speaking OF
President Roosevelt
"He is a strong man of noble character,
and as q brave soldier, man OF great ex'
ecutive ability, with wide knowledge OF
statecraft and politics, he is very popular
..Eith tie people-espeeially in the West.
/ think, however, that he and certain
members of his Cabinet are not in harmo-
nv. There is no man in the Republican
party, believe, who has astronger hold
on the rank and file OF the American peo'
pie, and there is no one who commands
the respect of the nations to a greater de-
gree, and who can WELD stronger In
fuence upon the world at large than he. "
Without seeking for any hidden politi-
cal meaning in Mr.. Bryan's tribute to the
President, it is certainly most remark
able encomium. 1t rarely happens that
any man is moved to speak so well OF his
opponent, especially on the eve OF great
campaign, in which his opponents cha:ac'
ter and public service are to be passed
upon.

THE HYPOSCOPE
A new Instrument for use in Aiming a
qun While Concealed.

The hypoecope is an instrument which
enables the soldier to aim at his victim
unseen and out of danger. 1t Is an IN
etrument which three years work OF the
best instrumant makers of Great Britain
has developed and which is soon to be
brought out. 1t is the leading talk OF the
British army. In its makeup the tube
containing Tie sighting mirrors is adjusta'
BILE. When the riheman looks through
bis hyposcope he gets view of six. degrees
and sees both the front and rear side OF
his rifle at the same time. His enemy
must perforce expose himself to aim and
fire while the hypo.marksman is quietly
Iying behind his cover and may smile
without danger behind his hiding place
Has war at last reached this low ebb ol
heroism?
A company of 100 men using the hypo-
scope skillfully would be able to kill 7Ol
of the enemy and wound 200 more in less
q than FIVE minutes. A regiment safely in
tfenched could kill more men in half an
hour than the Federals and Confederstes
lost in the three days fighting at Gettys
burg. 1t could put hors de combat more
than Napoleon lost at Waterloo. Where
l5,OCO men nearly lost the battle Of San
tisyo one regiment with the hypOscopt
could have won it without the loss Of {
single man in the trenches.
