FORT SCOTT COMING.

Arthur Brewster of st. Joseph, No.
who was invited to address the Kansas
Day club, has been unable to accept the
invitation, as he is now in the east
looking after his postoffice fight, and
may not be back in time for the ban
quet. To supply the pace on the pro-
gramme, the officers of the club have
called upon Congressman Charles Cur
tbs to find some speaker of national
repute in Washington, and send him on
for the occasion. Mr. Curtis has in
formed the officers of the club that he
can not at present make public the name
of the speaker.
Secretary England of the club says
that the banquet promises to be one OF
the biggest on record. The banquet
will be in the basement CT the state
house rotunda, as it was last year, and
plates will be provided for 500. Mrs.
Wiley will be the caterer. The plates
will be 81.
From Fort Scott comes the report that
an anti-H oeh delegation of about 40 will
have places at the banquet. They are
supposed to be Hornaday boomers. A
good many of the candidates for Doliu-
cal offices have sent in orders for from
10 to 20 tickets each for distribution
among their friends.
