A DOUBLE CALL DOWN.

Last week his excellency, Hon. Joseph Kibbey, governor of Arl- zona, received a most humlliating call down from the President, and in an effort to clear his own skirts laid himself open to another most humiliating reckoning at the hands of General Thos F. Wilson, of Tucson, the president of the Arizona Statehood League.
 First, the President sent to Gov error Kibbey a letter of which the following is copy:
 LOBSTER BAY, N. Y SEPT. 20, 1906.
 My Dear Governor Kibbey: l am sorry to say grave charges have been made to me that under the organiza- ton of which you are the active leader there will not be a fair count of the votes onthe question of statehood If tnese charges were we'll founded l need not say to you that it would be na- tional disaster. have no doubt there is no truth in them; but some proml- nent people in the United States do be- lieve them, and they are joined in this belief bv some of the most prominent people of Arizona and New Mexico. Therefore to avoid all criticism l di- rect that, if you can in any way ar range it, you have representatives ot the statehood people present at the canvassng of the votes on statehood. have sent a copy of thls letter to Governor Hagerman and directed hlm tO make the same arrangement-that is, have representatives from both the statehood and the anti-statehood par ties present to witness the count of the votes. Sincerely yours,
 "THEopoRE ROOSEVELT.
 ''Hon. Joseph II. Kibbey,
 ''Governor of Arizona.
 "Phoenix, Arizona"
 With that as a text Governor Kibbey addressed General Wilson lengthy letter, informing that gentleman that he had instructed all board of supervisors throughout Arizona to provide that statehood men in all precincts throughout their counties may be presentat the count on the night of election day, and that every effort shall be made to have a perfectly fair count. His excellency deplored the fact that the case had been misrepresented to the President, and he called for assistance from the statehood league in carrying out the instruc- tions of the president.
 In replying to his excellency Ger. Wilson reminded him that there had been convention held in the city of his own residence,

Glen Wilson stated far. ther Chat he had nc knowledge of anyone from Arizona having writ ten or communicated to tbe Pres- ident .hat there is any danger of suppression of the statehood vote, but he called attention to the vio- lence with which statehood men have been assailed in the press and from the platform, and he went on to state further that the very violence exhibiteda by the the anti-statehood faction in Ari- zona had been sufficient to arouse in the mind of the President and his advisers the very fear expres- sed in the letter from Oyster Bay, viz: That there will be an effort to count out and suppress the statehood vote. The distinguish ed writer called attention to the fact that in the anti-jointure press the advocates of jointure have been branded as traitors" i" "apostates," /" and many other opprobrious epithets had been applied to them; that one violent anti statehood paper had advocat- ed hanging them; and that pub lie speaker, at a public meeting in Tucson, had advocated instruction should the attempt to unite the two territories be persisted in, and the streets be made to run with blood" without a protest or rebuke from any one in the audience. The inference drawn by General Will son, and very correct inference is that men who will advocate such outrages openly and unblushingly in public, will not hesitate to tam per with the ballot in secret.
 Between them the President and General Wilson have placed Gov ernor Kibbey in a decidedly un- pleasant position.

Every Elk in Omaha who can get away
from his business will be present at the

next and large delegations OF Elks will
also attend from the various Elk lodges
in Nebraska, also from Council Bluffs and
Atlantic, Ia, lodges. all Of whom have
been officially invited to- be present by
the Elks' building fund BENEFIT committee
having the game in charge. The entire
gate receipts Of the game have been do
mated by w. A. Rourke to start the build
ing fund OF Omaha lodge of Elks In the
sale of the tickets the .Elks are asking
nothing whatever in the way Of dona-
ton from anyone, well knowing that
every ticket holder will get fully 50 cents
worth of championship base hall on that
occasion. Inasmuch as a similar benefit
In to be given at Lincoln later In the sea-
son, there is special strife between Presl-
dent Rourke OF the Omaha club and Presi-
dent Holmes Of the Lincoln club as to
which club will win this coming game.
So deeply are the local magnates inter
ested in the result outside OF the pennant
issue that a valuable jeweled Elk badge
is at stake on the outcome and will be
worn with great pride by the winner.
The Thirtieth U. S. Infantry band from
Fort Crook has been engaged for the en-
tire day and will arrive at the Elk club
rooms at 1880 o'clock in the forenoon.
They will make a street car tour of the
city announcing the game, and after be-
ing served with dinner at the Merchants
hotel they will give a concert in the Elks'
parlors. Bandnaster August Haase has
arranged a very attractive musical pro-
gram to be played at the ball park. The
committee will provide other special fea-
lures OF lively interest. and, altogether.
II will be an Elk day and a base ball con-
test long to be remembered by the thou
sands OF people who will attend.
There is already great strife among the

Elk are wearing the admission tickets in
the shape Of metaI-rimmed and numbered
badges attached by a purple ribbon to the
coat lapel buttonhole. Each of these
tickets is good for an admission TO the
grand stand and is sold at the regular

probable that the grand stand will be en-
tirely filled with the ladies and that the
great body OF Elks will have to take tc
