the great Saturday Night club in the
same sort of manner and pursuing the
same sort of reprehensiye methods as
were in evidence under the admins
tration of its late president, A. w.
Dana, and as exemplified by a force
of the most undignified sort carried
out by prominent members of the club
at the Elks' room last June and sat
under by even no less worthy gentle
men than the Rev. F. L. Loveland,
Gov. w. r. Stubs, Ex-Governor Bal
ley, Chief Justice Johnston and a score
of other notable citizens. It was at
this time that Mr. Capper, who was
known in the club as the gentleman
from Utah, read a paper upon the sub
ject, why I Should Be Governor, =
ending up with the statement, which
brought great uproar among the mem
bers, that he hoped the club would not
support him because the club had gen
orally succeeded in defeating every
man whom it had undertaken to sup
port
The new president of the Saturday
Night club is he who happens to be
the man who recently returned from
New York, according to the announce
ment in the Capital, with a heart full
OF sorrow and a mouth full OF Woe"
He determined then and there, upon
his election to the high Office of presi-
dent of the s. N C., that there wonid
be q reform in the administration of Its
affairs and he was about to inaugurate
this reformation SATURDAY night last
and that was the burden on his Ini'4fi
He knew what he was UP against
and he shook with fear. the same fear
which attacks Il business man when the
gentleman from Utah gees into mis-
own business. His knees trembled, but
he stood firm. He called the club to
order at S O'Clock. though there we're
but eight members present; others
Struggling in. There were instructions,
but the president quelIed them
The managing editor of the state
Journal Mr.. Kiene. who is also men,
her of the Saturday Night club, went
hunting Saturday afternoon and left
the locking up of the forms to the wee
be-eone gentleman, who had just arriv~
ed from New York. where he represent
ed the state Journal ct the Polo
grounds.
Then Managing Editor Kiene re-
turned from the hunt about 10 O'Clock
Saturday night, just as the president
was concluding an address up Base
ball" and had given the recipe for
new drink which the ball fans. Of srSew
York take by the glassful to- sustain
them to the end of the game
Mr.. .Kiene grabbed for the first page
of the State Journal and when he saw
two or three columns on the first page
with the single line head above it, he
simply raised Cain" and yet poor
Cain had nothing to do with it because
he had simply been reporting the scrap
between Governor Stubs and Attorney
Dawson. and he had had nothing to do
with that between ''Ardur and Franc"
Kiene said he had better stay at
home and look after the paper instead
OF riding riotous over the prairies for
rabbits. You can bet no single head
article of this kind goes into the paper
Monday" said he. There are too
many good scare head news items
coming
That is the reason the writer was
obliged to reduce this space on the
first page and continue it over on t.
the inside pages.
The club finally adjourned when
the new president was Obliged to set
the Saturday Night club. The recipe
is withheld, but may he secured by
applying to the editor of the house
hold department OF the State Journal.
The recipe it may be saia is purely
within the observance Of the prohi-
bitory law of Kansas.
The club having adjourned. the
troubles of this writer We're over, at
least until Monday.
Sunday morning he hil1ed out into
the country where he has farm
some times called country place and
where he raises his own chickens. po-
tatoes, squads and other provender.
Sunday was beautiful and nothing
marred the scene. In the morning
the writer had grabbed the first sec
ton of the Capital. as was his custom,
and read about tho Katzenjammcr
kids He thinks that next to Lena
and Loui'' in the State Journal the
Katzenjammer are pretty close to
real fun.
The other section Of the morning
Capital, which. we agree is the best
sunday paper printed in the Capital
