An important meeting of the executive
committee of the Kansas State Temper
ance union was held last evening at the
Y. NJ. c. A. parlor.
In the absence of F. d. COburn, vice

The most important business of the
evening was the election of new secre-
tary to take the place of Rev. ]. E.
Everett, who after nearly two years
service has resigned the office.
The names OF two applicants were
considered, both having come well
recommended. The choice of the COM
mittee fell on Rev. w. L. Dexter OF
Caldwell, a graduate of DePauw univer-
sity, Greencastle. Indiana. and at pres
emit pastor of the Methodist church at
Caldwell He is well known in southern
Kansas as a successful and aggressive
leader against every form of vice and
intemDerance.
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed by the committee commencing in the
highest terms the work of the retiring
secretary, Rev. ]. E. Everett. Mr.. Ever
EFT has served the committee faithfully
and well, and while in the office has
made a host of friends for himself and
the union.
Steps were taken at the meeting last
evening in the direction of securing
Senator ]. K. Codding of Pottawa tonne
county to act as a state prosecuting at
torney for the union, and committee
was appointed to confer with him at the
earliest possible date. 1t is, proposed to
make the-union a more distinctly law
enforcement organization than it has
been in the past.

Ellis and Mccoy of Last Years Team
Were Out for Practice.

Lawrence. Kas., Sept 9.-Tuesday
evening there was an increase in the
number Of men who appeared on Nc
Cook Geld for foot ball practice at the
University of Kansas. Ellis, a last
years end, was out in uniform, and
Mccoy, the Oklahoman. who. made an
enivable track record last spring has
returned and will try for a place on
the eleven. He has had much exper-
fence in that line and promises to
make a strong man. The work is still
light and erratic, and can proceed but
little beyond individual work and the
mastery of new rules. H c. Avery,
captain of the '97 team. was out with
the players last evening and gave
the bows the advantage of his ex-
perience. He will be here for a week
or more. and will appear on the foot
ball field every evening. He is much
taken with Coach Weeks and believes
he Will like him and that Weeks Will
be able TO get the best possible results
out of the material al hand.
Avery is not inclined to look upon the
new rules with disfaVor, saying that II
he were running a team he would al
ways want to keep seven men in the
line. The real practice will not be
commenced before the first of next
week as many of the old players will
not arrive until then. Captain Brum-
age has written that he will positive
ly be here and PoOler and Hicks are
also expected within the next few days.

A Dillon Landlord.

Lord Clonbrock represents the Dillon
family from the extreme landlord point
of view in the house of lords. as Mr.
John Dillon represents it from the most
advanced point of view of the farmers
in the lower house. The billions went
to ireland with King John, and three
branches of the family ultimately
reached the peerage. Clonbrock. from
which the viscount takes his title. is
the estate in the west of Ireland, which
an ancestor. who was judge of the
court oc common pleas in Dublin, pur-
chased long ago Lord Cionbrock, like
some of his brother landlords who have
figured prominently in debate during
the past two days. is in the lords a
representative peer from Ireland. This
is a somewhat anomalous form of the
peerage inasmuch as if an Irish re9re-
sentative peer becomes a peer of the
united kingdom he cannot vacate his
purely Irish representation. Thus Lord
powe-scourt and Lord de Montalt are
at once peers of the united kingdom
and Irish representative peers. Only
death can create a vacancy in the peer
age representation of Ireland.-West-
