WILL PUSH MATTER.
Business Men Anxious to See Gas
Proposition Terminated.

The question of piping gas m Wichita
from eastern fields is being handled in a
vigorous manner. The business men Of
the city are becoming anxious to see the
matter concluded and are joining hands
in an effort to push the signing of the
contracts to a close.
continuation of the block system Is
to be used and each block in the city
will be visited and a reliable, energetic
man living in that block will be given
contract with instructions to obtain the
signatures of every householder of the
block This, if promptly attended TO.
will in the course of a few days, mean
the completion of that part of the work.
which is all that is necessary for the
fulfllment of the contract on the part
Of the city. Just as soon as this is ac-
complished, the company bringing the gas
here will begin operations for the laying
of the pipe.
The manner in which the contracts will
he circulated hereafter will place them
within the reach of all who desire 10
sign them The greatest reason for their
not signing them heretofore is that the
contracts have not been placed within
the reach OF the people. This has been
on account of insufficient help on the part
of those in charge Of the work. This
defect is now remedied and the work
will be prosecuted accordingly.

Speaking of the advantage such a plant

a plant of this kind would be of untold
benefit to the farmer who raises alfalfa.
for the reason that he would receive a
better price for that product. a plant Of
this kind can afford to pay more money
for that product than can be secured
anywhere else. And besides" he con-
tinued, the plant would give work to a

Mr.. Benninghoven will remain in Wich-

Mr.. Benninghoven invented and pat

General Fred Webber, 33d, also made a
brief address. Mr. Webber is quite an
old gentleman, who represents Kentucky
in the supreme council. Although small
in stature, he makes up in his wonderful
energy and sprightly nature.

applause which continued for fully
minute The admiral stood gazing at the
starry emblem that had foated out its
folds in greeting to him and seemed to
have forgotten his speech utterly. He
soon spoke however of Masonry and of
his, not until since his retirement, being
really acquainted with his own country.
Then he referred to the flag and what II
means. and among other things he spoke
of the men who had defended its in
tegrity, from Washington down, and he
said: "A man who would not defend
that which was dear to him. a man who
would not fight for that which he loved
