Kansas delegates are highly indig-
nant at savage and determined at
tack that has been made upon the war
record of Captain P III. Coney of To-
peka,: prominent candidate for the
position of commander in-ehief of the
Grand Army of the Republic this year.
That attack has taken concrete form
circulated among the veterans in Min
neapolis this week. It is important
for the reason that it has injected a
highly unpleasant, element into the
contest for this high office, and threat
ems to create no end of bitterness be-
fore the encampment is ended.
The claim, in brief, is that the army
record claimed for Captain Coney in
a. printed circular issued under the sig
Grand Army men Of Kansas, all of
whom are Loyalty supporting his can
didacY, is in part spurious. Specifical-
ly, it is to the effect, in the main, that
the inferential statement in the printed
circular that Captain Coney was with
his regiment, the One Hundred and
Eleventh New York, at the battles OF
Gettysburg and Spottsylvania, is not
true; that he did not enlist until almost
fought, and was in hospital at the
time of the Spottslyvania engagement
This charge is, of course, repelled
but it has drawn attention to the Co.
ney candidacy this year in most un
pleasant manner and injected into the
Minneapolis encampment something
that may possibly have far-reachine
Influence, for discord in the Grand
Army organization. .-

CAPTAIN CONEY'S ANSWER

An attack Of this kind, anony-

outrage and should be denounced
by all honest people. I was with
my command at Gettysburg and at
spottsylvania, and have Gever
made a false assertion so far as
my army record is concerned. The
letter parportedly written by Mr..
Ware carries a wrong date in fix
ing the time of my enlistment, if
the copy Of the letter used in the
anonymous attack is true copy.
It says that enlisted March 21,
1864. AS a matter of fact, en-
listed March 4, 1858, practically
four months before Gettysburg was
fought. .-

dream is possible on the ordinary diet.
No meat or similarly heavy food or

Fruit is the best kind OF food for
the perfect dreamer. Such diet will
enable people to get into real touch
with the spirit world, and they will be
able to recollect their dreams on their
awakening from them. Coffee and to-
bacco must be absolutely abolished if
