Insurance Attorneys See Attorney Cen
eraI But Won't Talk.

| Thomas Bates, an attorney of Chi

surance companies against whom Fred
S. Jackson, the attorney general, is
proceeding on the ground that they
have been operating trust in this
state, and N. H. Loomis and D. w.
Mulvane, who also represent others of
these insurance companies, called on
Mr.. Jackson this morning to have a
consultation of some sort concerning
the suits.
Just the nature of the conference
could not be learned. Mr.. Jackson was
trif1e reticent on the subject of the
conference. He was asked if the attor-
neys for the insurance companies had
made any proposition looking towards
the dropping OF the suits. To this he re-
piled in the negative He was asked
point blank just what the purpose of
the visit of the insurance attorneys was
and said: well, to tell you the truth.
I hardly know what they were after
Mr.. Loomis said that there would be
no information forthcoming from their
side to the nature of the conference.
There was a faint trace of smile on
his face when he was told that Mr..
Jackson had remarked that he did not
know just what the insurance attor-
news were after.

REGULARS ARE HERE.
Seventh Cavalry Will Camp at Fair
Grounds for Two Days.

Eight troops of cavalry, composing
two squadrons of the Seventh cavalry
regiment, L. S. A, and under COM
mand of Lieutenant Colonel John T
Guilfoyle, reached the fair grounds al
about 1 o'clock today where they
pitched their camp for a two days
stay.
These squadrons are on a practice
march from Fort Riley. which will
cover three hundred and fifty miles
before the home station is reached
again and during the course of which
Fort Leavenworth will be visited.
Fort Riley was left on Thursday
afternoon and after 40 short march
camp was pitched. Manhattan was tn q
next stopping place for the night and
the next was Wamego. The squadrons
stopped last night at Rossville and
reached North Topeka from that place
about 1890 today. They marched
south on Kansas avenue to Tenth. West
to Topeka avenue and thence to thu
fair grounds.
The men and horses appeared to be
in most excellent condition and in the
ambulance as it went through the city
there was but one trooper and he was
not seriously ill.
There were more cavalrymen i'll
these two sGuadrons than have been
seen in Topeka for a long time. Tna
full strength of a troop is one hundred
men, but none of the troops are re-
cruited to full strength and about six
hundred men represented the strength
OF the two squadrons that came to
town today.
Because of the wonderfully fine APP
pearance of the squadrons there was
not person on the streets through
which they passed who did not stop
and watch them go by. 1t has been a
long while since such a fine lot of
horses have been seen in this city and
each troop had horses of nearly the
same color. There were two or three
troops whose horses were bays, one
chestnut wi h
blacks, and one with grays.
