MACEDONIAN COMMITTEE
What It Is Going to Do for nacedo- nia-An Unsatisfactory Reply ThatIt Is Working for Bulgarian Interests.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 2S.-The situa- tion here is much brighter today and the war clouds appear to have lifted. The porte's assurance that the thirty two battalions recently ordered to pro ceed from Monastir to Adrianople will not be moved has lessened the appre- hension of the Bulgarian government. Further satisfaction is derived from the fact that M. Natohovitch is going to Constantinople in the capacity of Bulgarian diplomatic agent. He con- ducted negotiations with the porte last June and after their failure returned to Sofia.
 A committee appointed for the pur- pose at the time of yesterdays demon stration of 15000 Macedonians in this city waited on Premier Petroff today and asked him if the government in- tended to do anything to help the Macedonians. MT. Petroff replied that the ministry was acting in what it conceived to be for the best interests of Bulgaria and would continue the same policy.
 The spokesman of the committee told the premier that his reply would not be satisfactory to the people and the committee thereupon withdrew.
 The Dnevkin, commenting on the situation, says: Although the Bulgar- ians remain quiet it is not a true in dication of the national feeling, but it is owing to the approaching elections" |" The paper adds that it will mot be long before everybody will try to force the government to take action.''

WILL PLAY FOR CHARITY.
City Officials and Insurance Men Will
PLAY for Charity

Friday afternoon on the Hess athletic
field the much talked about ball game
between the team composed of city Off
Gals and team made up of insurance
men will be played. The managers have
selected their teams and a number of
the members have been old-time ball
players who think they can toss a bali
around right lively now. Maybe they
can, but their hands will be blistered.
The proceeds of the game will be given
to the Childrens Home. The price of
admission is 10 cents. The officials and
insurance men are playing for a worthy
cause. 1t is said that quite a number of
the children at the home sleep on the
floor at present because the managers
are unable to get beds. The money de-
rived from the gate receipts of the game
will be devoted to buying beds FOR the
children.
The game will be worth 10 cents any
way. People who have not had a good,
hearty laugh for two years because they
didn't have anything to laugh at. will
laugh till their sides ache at the antics
some Of those baseball players will cut
in their chases after the merry horsehide
Hardly one of them has had a ball in
his -------~ Tor years until a day or two
ago.

WORK ON THE ORIENT
Report Just Issued Shows
What Company is Doing
386 MILES ARE GRADED
Golden Spike Was Driven at
AIine Yesterday

Yesterday the copy of the annual report
of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient
Railway company was received by the
Orient officers in this city. The report is
OF the progress of the work on the line
throughout the 1850 miles.
For the convenience Of the agents OF the
company in procuring right OF way the
sixteen hundred miles is divided into FIVE
divisions. No l is from Kansas City TO
Wichita 200 miles; No p from Wichita
to Sweetwater, Texas, a distance of 432
miles; No. 3. from Sweetwater to San
Angelo. Texas. 1917 miles; No.4. from
San Angelo to Preside, Texas. 324 miles.
and the fifth division is the entire line
in the republic of Mexico.
Within the United States there are ! ,O32
miles of the line. and Of this the COM
pany has procured titles TO the right of
way for total distance of 81 miles.
Division No. is the one that is of the
greatest interest to Wichita. This di-
vision is 4S2 miles long, and 3s6 miles Of
this line is now graded and ready for
the steel gangs. and the company hopes
to have this entire division completed
and in operation before the first Of the
year. The right Of way has ali been ac-
quired and the titles in the hands Of the
company, and there is less than fifty
miles yet to grade in this division. The
company has little more than one hun
bred miles of this division ready for oper-
alton as soon as the different sections can
be connected. The steel is laid on one
hundred miles of the line and the bridges
are finished. Gangs of men are now at
WORK laying the rails and building
bridges. AS many men are employed as
can work conveniently, and there are
several gangs. The steel gangs are work
ing both ways from every point that the
Orient crosses another road as this is
the only way the steel can be hauled to
the front
Mr.. A. NJ. Denny. right Of way agent
for the company, has just returned from
a trip through Blaine, Woods, Dewey,
Custer and Washita counties, Oklahoma
For two months he has been working on
the change of the right of way through
Custer county. As the Orient railway
was first located it would not touch
Arapahoe the county seat. and Thomas
and Custer City. two important towns in
Custer county. The people of these
towns wanted the road, and they will
get it, The new right of way has been
secured and grading will begin shortly.
Woods and Blaine counties are almost
one continuous wheat field on the line of
the Orient, and Mr.. Denny stated that
he found one of the greatest changes in
the topography of the country, character
of the soil and the diversity of crop he
ever heard of in going from Blaine to
Dewey, Custer and Washita counties.
From the land of wheat fields and gran
aries he passed into a land of corn and
corn cribs. Railroads are pretty scarce
in those counties. and one finds in the
drive across the country corn cribs full
of corn. Very little of the corn
finds a market, because they cannot
reach a railroad without hauling corn a

WANTS TO KNOW.
Attorney General Of Oklahoma Look
ing Up Home Building Co.


J. c. Roberts, attorney general for
Oklahoma, was in the city yesterday
looking up the affairs of the National
Home Building association, which is in
trouble with Kansas authorities, as here
tofore stated in the Eagle. The an
nouncement that the Home Building as
ISOLATION will cease business in Kansas
and move its general offices to Guthrie
has caused Attorney General Roberts
and Secretary William Grimes to enter
upon a vigorous campaign against such
companies, and unless the National
Home Building association shows that it
''has the goods il Will have a strenuous
career in the territory to the south.
Attorney General Roberts saw the
officers of the company yesterday and
asked many questions concerning the
condition of the company. He also look
ed into the case now pending in the
courts. In addition to this information
secured. he will also ascertain the num-
Der of contract holders in Oklahoma:
the amount already paid in and when
these contracts Will mature 1t is the
opinion of Oklahoma officials that if
Kansas makes her case good against the
upon the same grounds.
Yesterday Attorney General Roberts
In conversation with reporter for the
Eagle said 4 came here solely for the
purpose of looking into the condition of
this company and to ascertain what the
status of the Kansas case is at the pres
emit time. I have spent the entire day
In hooking up these matters and while l
am not entirely satisfied by any means,
ytt the situation for Oklahoma contract
holders is not as black as has been pic
tured. While I have not gone far enough
into the matter 10 be certain that every
thing will come out all right. yet-it looks
TO me that if 4 settlement of affairs is
necessary, Oklahoma people will lose
very little, if anything.
Il am securing the names of those per-
sons in the territory who are contract
holders agd the amounts paid in by
each person. ] will also ascertain the
number of each contract held in Okla
homa and when those contracts will
mature. 1 am determined that the con-
tract holders in Oklahoma shall be pro-
tected in every manner possible. Score
tary Grimes is much interested in the
outcome of the Kansas case against this
company and he feels that il Kansas is
in the right in the matter Oklahoma Of
ficials must not hesitate in protecting
the people of The territory. When 1 ar
rive in Guthrie Mr. Grimes and I will go
over the entire situation and formulate
some plan of action. if action is neces-
sary. against this particular company.

CLOSE TO THIS CITY
Tornado Passed South of
Wichita tuesday Night
LIZZIE SETON INJURED
Valley Center Storm Destroys
Much Property

Early yesterday morning the report was
brought to the city by a farmer that a
tornado had passed just south of the city
Tuesday evening about 6:3O. crossing Law
renee avenue about four and one-half
miles south of Douglas avenue, doing
great damage to the residence of o. j.
Seton and to the barns and orchard OF
Henry Schweiter. Few people could be-
lieve that tornado could pass so near
the city without the knowledge of the
public, but a visit to the scene yester-
day dispelled all doubts and convinced
the people that a tornado of no small
proportions had barely missed part of
the residence portion of Wichita.
The storm as witnessed by j. L. Stuckey,
q farmerliving south of the city, made
its appearance near the farm of Ike Dean,
six miles southwest of the city. Mr.
Stuckey saw it very plainly and states
that it was a clearly defined funnel
shaped cloud and was travelling northeast
very rapidly, with cloud of dust and de-
bris surrounding the base, which ap-
peared TO be dragging on the ground. 1t
appeared as a narrow, rope-like column,
ranging back from a center in the over
hanging clouds. Mr. Stuckey watched it
es it crossed Lawrence avenue and moved
on northeastward toward Hydraulic ave
f., nue., where it seemed to dissimilate near
! the I. O. L. school-house. Mr.. Stuckey
could not see the base of the cloud and
Gid not know Of the damage done until
yesterday morning, when he visited the
scene of the storm.
After leaving the Dean farm, where l.
seems to have originated, the storm did
little damage until it struck the resi-
cence Of o. ]. Seton on South Lawrence
avenue. The family saw the storm COM
ing and fortunately left the house and
ran into the open. but unfortunately ran
into the very track of the storm. The
house was unroofed and almost totally
demolished, while the outbuldings were
carried completely AVA Mr.. Seton and
the family ran across the road and laid
fiat on the ground, an act which undoubt-
sdly saved more than one life. They
were ali more or less bruised and cut
by flying timber and debris, but the
daughter, Lizzie, was struck by some
flying missile and severely injured about
. the lower limbs.
