ANNUAL MEETING.

Reports Showed Remarkable Good
Business and Increasing Territory.
The annual meeting of the KaIola
Company was held last night and
proved in every way a satisfactory one,
especially as the reports made by the Of
ficers showed a remarkable increase of
business for the past several months,
due both TO the general growth of the
business and to the addition of large
slices of new territory.
The election of officers resulted in
the choice of the former board, with
the addition of one other gentleman
Mr.. B. S. Symons who was elected to
I'LL new Office, that of general mana
ger. His excellent work for the COM

A LeavenwOrth Citizen Returns
From the KIondike.
Declares He Has Made a Strike
Of Over $3.50, 1000.
WENT FROM COLORADO.
Failed to Make a Hit In the
Mines Out There.
Jonathan Wentworth Has Inter-
esting Experience.

Leavenworth, Kan. March 20
Jonathan Wentworth, formerly a we'll
known citizen of Leavenworth, but
since 1887 a wanderer upon the face of
the earth so far as Leavenworth peo-
pies knowledge goes, returned to this
city Thursday with a fortune. which he
says he made in the Klondike. He
claims he has made fortune of $780,
600 since 1899. He never intends to go
back to the Klondike, he says. having
disposed of his interests there before he
started for Leavenworth
He has niece, Mrs. Henry Oldham,
residing in Neely's addition, and he is
visiting her. Mrs. Oldham is his only
relative and he says he will build a
fine home for her and live with her in
the future. Mr. Oldham is a railroad
man. Wentworth was well known in
LeavenwOrth when he resided here and
many of the older citizens recognized
him as soon as they met him.
He went direct to Colorado after
leaving Leavenworth in 1887 and for
period of five years he worked in the
mines at Colorado City He changed
his residence to Denver in 1892, and
lived there until 1899. when he planned
an expedition to the Klondike. Three
other Denverites accompanied him and
it was agreed before starting that good
or bad fortune to any of the party
should be shared by all.
They reached Dawson after an excit-
ing trip late in the fall of that year.
There they came across a homesick
prOSpectOr who was anxious to sell
claim of which he was the possessor.
The claim was eighty miles from DaW-
son, and promised we'll The men from
Denver inspected the claim and decided
to buy it. They got the property for
a mere pittance as the man from whom
they purchased it had been away from
his home in Arizona nearly five years
and was anxious to get back. Mr..
Wentworth and his partners went to
work on the claim, but the first year
they realized little from it, and two of
the men returned to their home in
Denver, Disguised with the gold hunt
ing business.
Wentworth and his remaining part
ner. whose name was James Winter,
kept digging for gold, and in March,
1901, they made a rich strike. They
discovered one of the best paying veins
ever found in the vicinity of Dawson,
and the news of their good luck spread
rapidly over the country Men of
wealth offered them large sums for the
any price. After rejecting all oppor
tunities. to become suddenly wealthy
they came near losing the rich property
rich saloonkeeper of Dawson put
in the claim that the property belonged
to him. alleging that he lived on the
claim for nearly year and acquired
title to the same. He failed to produce
the title. however, and Wentworth and
Winter breathed easier. The two men
worked their mine until last Decem Der,
when they sold the property for $780, 900
and started back to the United States.
Wentworth is 81 years old, but his
experiences in the Klondike made him
rugged. and he looks good for a score
of years yet.

.1Kid', Lewee on a strika.

Milwaukee, Wis. March 20-"Kid''
Lewee has gone on a strike He will
not go to Kansas City until he has some
assurance from Dale Gear that he will
get more money than he was paid last
season The lively shortstop has sent
word to this effect and will spend the
summer having a good time in Mil

lean association team manager comes to
bat with 3 promise of a larger sized
wad for the Milwaukee boy.
Iewee received orders today to report
at Kansas City on April 1 to try on his
uniform and get a few corns on his
hands before he gets some of the Mil
waukee teams hot liners, and decided
to stay away.
The Blues little shortstop made this
explanation of his going on strike: He
asked Gear for a contract which would
give him a chance to increase his bank
account, instead of ending the year with
an even balance, and was promised a
contract for what he wanted. His con
tract has not been signed, he says, and
he don't care if he is bIacklisted He
