KANSAS VETERANS REUNION.
Will Have Entire Camping Equipment
of State at Dodge City.

of State at Dodge City.
Dodge City, March 4.-September 5
has been selected as the opening day
of the Southwestern Kansas Veterans
reunion in Dodge City. That is the
first Tuesday in September and the re-
union will continue until Friday night,
September s.
There was a special reason for the
early selection of the dates for the big
reunion this wear. Each year there
are number of smaller reunions at
different places in the state and the
organizations which conduct these re-
unions are allowed to borrow from the
state quantity of tents and other
equipment which the state has on
hand for use in militia encampments.
The attendance at the reunions here
is always so large that every tent the
state has is required to accommodate
the people. For this reason it was
necessary to decide upon the dates
and arrange for all the tents before
such action should be taken by some
other reunion organization.
The program for the reunion will
DrobaDly not be made up for several
weeks yet. j. A. Arment, the sec
rotary of the association, said this
week that the organization was de-
pending largely upon Congressman +.
n. Madison to secure some national
speakers for the occasion. and the
plan is also to have a number of men
of state prominence here to address
the old soldiers.
The reunion here is always the
largest one in the state, and the plans
are to make the program this year
the most attractive one ever presented.

REFUSES TO BE INTERVIEWED.
f. G. BigeIow Expresses Irritation at
the Notoriety From the Press.

the NOtOrlcty FROM the Press.
Leavenworth, Kan, March Al
though happy beyond expression in the
realization of his impending release
from the great penitentiary where he
for nearly six years has been con-
Wet, Frank G. BigeloW, the millionaire
eX-bank president of the First Nation
al bank of Milwaukee, took occasion
when seen in the penitentiary to express
his aggravation because of the notori
ETY. he is receiving from the press
of the entire country. He has a far
from friendly feeling toward newspaper
men and refused to be interviewed by
any one of the many reporters who ask
ed to see him.
His face bore evidence of his happi-
ness while he was in consultation with
the chief clerk of the penitentiary this
afternoon. That official acts as clerk
of the parole board, and it was in that
capacity that he was talking with Bige-
low. But when he recognized a repor-
ter in that hall of the penitentiary his
good nature apparently left him, and by
glances and other means, conveyed his
opinion of the newspaper world in gen
eral in a way that could not be mis-
taken. officials of the institution are
required by departmental order to give
out no information and the ruling of
their superiors is adhered to most
stringently but those approached upon
the subject seemed to enjoy the situa-
ton.
The dispatch announcing Bigelow's
parole stated that the -arole papers al
ready were mailed. 1t is expected they
will arrive today. Bigelow has made
preparations for departure and will be
released Immediately upon the arrival
of the necessary papers.
He was in communication with mem
bers of his family by telegraph yester-
day and it is said that he will leave
at once for Milwaukee. He will not be
met nv any relative as he leaves the
gate of the institution here, but it is
expected that his son will meet him in
Omaha or Chicago, dependent upon the
route he takes.

CONTEST AMONG FARMERS.
Can One Man Alone Care for 200
Acres of Corn?

Hutchinson, March 4.-Can one
man, unaided, plant, cultivate and
care for 200 acres of corn?
There is one Reno county farmer
who maintains that he can do it, and
he's going to make a demonstration
If he succeeds he is going to receive
as a bonus, $1,000 in cash from a
doubling friend.
If he fails he must make that friend
a present of $1,000.
Its not bet" he explained. It's
merely a case of receiving a bonus if
1 succeed or paying a penalty if L fail.
However, people may look on it as a
wager, so we'd prefer not to have our
names used.'
But it is a bona f1de deal, and the
contest will be conducted this season.
It will attract a good deal of attention
too, and some of the implement houses
are expected to take advantage of the
opportunity to get in and have their
particular implements used in the
demonstration.

JAKE ADMIRE GONE

Prominent as Politician ana Ed
itOr for Many Years.
ONCELIVED In TOPEKA
Was Postmaster and Owner OF
Times on North Side.
Also Founded the Usage City
Free Press.
ONCELIVED IN TOPEKA

Enid. Okla, March 4.-Col. ]. V.
Admire. known to Kansas and Mis-
souri, newspaper readers as Jake"
Admire. died at his home here Friday
after a long illness.
Col. Jake" Admire, dean of Okla
bona newspaper men, one of the
founders of the Republican party in
that state was the first man in Okla
homa to be nominated by his party
for governor.
He was native of Indiana, born
near Evansville 6S years ago, but
came west to Topeka in the early days
and was one of the first newspaper
men of that state to become a widely
known character. For a number OF
years he owned and. edited the North
Topeka Times and later founded the
Free Press at Usage City, owning that
paper until he came to Oklahoma
shortly after the opening of the new
territory to white settlement in 1889.
He had been one of the leaders OF
the Republican party in Kansas and
upon his removal to Kingfsher, Okla,
he Immediately resumed the harness
and was one of the founders OF his
party in this state when the first con-
vention was held at Reno City--a
ity of the Oklahoma Republicans in
that day had known Admire in in the
Sunflower safe.
When a territorial form of govern
ment was given to Oklahoma by con-
gress, early in 1890, Admire was NOM
mated by the Republicans of the ter
ritory for governor, but instead Pres
ident Harrison appointed George W.
Steele. of Marion, Ind, who then be-
came Oklahoma's first governor.
Only once afterward was the name
of Colonel Admire ever mentioned in
connection with governor. That was
in 1906, when it was certain that
statehood was coming, and the party
leaders opposing Frank Frantz, the
Rough Rider, Endorsed Admire for
the Republican nominee for the first
governor of Oklahoma state. He
promptly declined, however, and in
dorsed Frantz.
When the first campaign was on,
following statehood, he was brought
forward by his friends as a candidate
for United States senator, but because
of the overwhelming Democratic ma
1ority in the legislature, the nominal
tion would have been but an empty
honor.
Col. Admire was brotherin-Iaw
of F. A. Lewis of Topeka. He lived
here many years and was once post
master in North Topeka.

Opinion of Mr.. Walters of Junction

junction City, March 4.-The past
two weeks there has been consider
able discussion regarding the fate of
the peach crop in this section of the
country and there seems to be big
difference of opinion. Mr.. Walters of
the Walters greenhouse, who has
large number of trees in his orchard,
says that he has been unable to find
any live buds and that he has made
an extensive examination.
A number of persons have exam

of town and claim that about so per
cent are alive.

That was the verdict reached by the

The case attracted a great deal of at

play until a day after the coroner had

OF death as cold and exposure. A mis-
