PLAN LAST KANSAS
REUNION FOR 1874
Civil War Veterans to Hold Final
Encampment Then.
TO DEDICATE MEMORIAL HALL
This Years Reunion at independence
Will Make Preparations for
Last State Encampment
of G. A. r.

Topeka.-The last great statewide
reunion of the veterans of the Civil
war living in Kansas is being plan
ned to be held in Topeka, probably
in May or June, 1914.
j. N. Harrison, department COM
mander Of the Kansas department of
the Grand Army of the Republic, an
nounced that this years annual en-
campment of the G. A. r. will be
held at Independence May 20, 81 and
%. The chief business at that en-
campment is to make preparations for
the last annual reunion next year.
The occasion of the reunion will be
the dedication of Memorial hall, a
magnificent marble structure which
the state of Kansas is building at
Topeka at cost of almost $780, 900,
in coH1memoration of the Union sold
iers of 1861 and 1865. The hall will
be finished, it is expected by April
or May, 1914. 1t has been under con-
struOtion two years, former Presi-
dent Taft having laid the corner
stone a year ago last September.
at is the idea," said Commander
Harrison, that all old soldiers in
Kansas, who are physically able to
make the trip, attend the reunion
next year. If they cannot afford the
expense we will find some way to
bring them. Making the plans for
this reunion will be the chief bust
ness of the annual encampment at
independence in May of this year.
A committee will be named at that
time to take up the matter and make
the plans for the last great Kansas
gathering of the kind"
There are probably 21,000 old sol.
diers now living in Kansas, Death is
thinning the ranks rapidly. The aver.
age age of old soldiers in the state
is 73 years. Thousands of them came
to Kansas following the Civil war.
In the latter '7Os. about Is years
after the close of the war, there was
$4,000 in this state. Today there
are but $1,000, just about one-seventh
as many as 80 years ago.
Commander Harrison has issued
a Memorial day proclamation which
reads in part:
at is not Memorial day for the
old veteran soldier alone, but day
for every patriotic man, woman or
child in this great republic who loves
his country and loves the old flag
and honors it's defenders. 1t is day
for patriots and day for eulogies, a
day for sweet memories and a day
for sad thoughts. 1t is funeral day
for the nations defenders. 1t is the
one day above all others when every
patriotic soul that breathes should
lay aside all business cares and the
mad pursuit of pleasure, and pay
homage to the nations dead"

Topeka.-While the politicians OF

ship.
OF two hundred villages, towns and
cities having water plants, all except
thirteen own their plants. The same
number of towns have electric light
plants and the majority of these plants
are owned by the municipalities.
Figures and facts show that these
towns have had remarkable success in
handling public utilities. In the fast
place in all the towns where there is
municipal ownership every house has
service. while in towns where private
ownership exists only part of the
house have service. 1t is matter of
record that in most of the larger
towns where political graft has been
most frequent the water and electric
plants are privately owned and the
service is the worst.
Every municipality owned plant is
yielding profit. Most of them are
earning enough to pay off the bonds

Spiker, a hotel keeper at Caldwell,
violated the Prohibitory Law, and was
given a Jail sentence. Numerous
friends insisted on his release on pa

porary parole good until May 1, so
that an investigation can be made.
The governor announced that Spiker
would have to go to Jail at the end
of the temporary parole unless the
judge of the district court granted
parole, as the governor would refuse
to act on any cases where district
Judge had refused a parole, unless
it could be shown that there was a
great miscarriage of justice.

foot tower at the Saugatuck river
which will convey the conduits and
cables for the Identification over the
river, was not dashed to pieces this
morning when he was struck with a
hammer and fell, seems almost mir
aculous.
Connor was working upon a plat

heavy hammer falling from the plat
form above upon which men were
working struck him a glancing blow
upon the head, Stunned he toppled
off the platform and fell a distance
of about so feet below, becoming wedg-
ed in joists of the steel work.
Connor dangled in this position for
some time until his fellow workers
walking out on the girders freed him
from his perilous position. That Con-
ner was caught in the joists is all
that saved him from death upon the
tracks below.
In the superintendent's auto he was
rushed to the home of DR.. Frank Nc

had sustained but scalp wound from
the hammer. In falling he struck on
his stomach which probably prevented
fatal injuries. He was removed to
his home, Compo beach.

ALDERMAN STILL
UNDECIDED AS TO
THEATRE ALARMS
Moving Picture Showmen Be
lieve Location Of Box should
Be fixed Near Booth.

The committee on ordinances of the
Common Council is still considering
the ordinance to have all theatres with
a seating capacity of 3OO-or more in
stall fire alarm boxes in the theatre.
No report was made on the ordinance
at the last meeting of the council. The
proposed draft of the ordinance pro-
Vided that boxes be installed on the
stages of the theatres. Proprietors of
the moving picture houses who are
willing to install the boxes think they
should be placed in or near the booths
where the picture machines are oper-
ated.
They claim that most fires in NOV
ing picture theatres originate in the
vicinity of the booths. These booths
are supposed to be fire proof. There
fore the fire officials cannot see where
the danger lies from fires originating
in picture booths. On the other hand
the proprietorss of picture theatres
point out that most of these places
have no stages, simply a screen
against a blank wall. In case of fire
the picture theatre owners claim
someone would have to run through
the theatre to the stage to turn in an
alarm and they would rather have the
box placed near the picture booth or
near the box office.
The committee on ordinances will
get more data on the ordinance before
reporting on it.
