Chief Justice Johnston in recent

In the past our relations with
Mexico have been friendly. and Tor
her we have manifested sympathy
when she had trouble with Spain and
helped to secure for her recognition
from other nations. The stability OF
the government was SO uncertain that
during the settlement OF the people
in Texas the relations between the two
governments became strained for

G. A. r.. Reunion Brings Up
Kansas History.
James Blaine's Address at Fair
Grounds in 1884.
VISIT OF PRESIDENT HARRISON
Thirty Thousand Veteran
Were in Line Of March.
Events Of State Clustered
Around Lawrence.

When Kansas people refer to the
coming big patriotic festivities at To-
peka, May 26, 81 and 20. when the
state encampment of the Grand Army
Of the Republic and auxiliary or
CARNATIONS meet when Memorial
Hall is dedicated. and the people meet
at the capitol city in a great homo
coming patriotic jubilee. they think
of other great meetings here. The old
soldiers and early settlers tell Of the
coming of James G. Blaine more than
thirty years ago, and of his address
at a soldiers reunion at the fair
grounds where $4,000 were assembled.
But the one great Kansas assem-
blage which is being compared with
the coming dedication of Memorial
Hall, in point of numbers of visitors
from the state, was the visit of Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison, October 10,
1890. This was nearly twenty four
years ago. and the occasion was the
state soldiers reunion. At that time
more than 100000 soldiers were liv-
ing in Kansas, and more than half OF
these were present at the big reunion.
HarrisOn's Visit Here.
Topeka people will remember that
at that time the soldiers camped on
the vacant forty acres lying west Of
Topeka avenue, south of Fourteenth
street and north of the fair grounds.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-04-25

They too will remember. as does the
writer, that the foOt-path leading to
the big camp crossed the corner lots
on which his home now stands. It
was here that President Harrison
spoke to acres Of people, soldiers and
citizens. repeating his first utterance
when he touched our soil at Atchi-
sion: God be thankful that freedom
won its early battle In Kansas"
The twenty-four years that have
passed have thinned the ranks OF the
veterans until now not more than
$4,000 are living, but their loss will
be more than made up in the attend
ance of patriotic men and women and
children who will come to Topeka the
last week in May to pay them trib-
ute. Great as was the soldiers re-
union of 1890. with the president as
the honored guest, Topeka people con-
fdently expect the coming event 10
surpass it in numbers present and In
patriotic interest. For the great jubt-
lee in May will be the rounding out OF
fifty years of glorious history made
since the close of the Civil war, and
the dedication Of a temple builded
to the memory OF those who made
that history possible.
$4,000 Veterans in Line.
It is interesting to recall the visit
Of President Harrison to Topeka, "a
years ago. The famous Seventh u. s.
cavalry, under command Of General ].
w. Forsyth. acted as the guard of
honor. The parade was an imposing
affair. Thirty thousand veterans were
in line. The Indiana contingent num-
bered over 1000. led by Major George
NJ. Noble. Nearly 5000 school chill
dren participated in the parade.
When the president, escorted to the
camp grounds out on the ''Douthitt
tract" by Department Commander Ira
F. Collins of Seneca, and Governor
Lyman U. Humphrey, he stood on the
platform and surveyed the multitude.
II am strongly tempted to omit even
an attempt to speak to you today" he
said. II think 1t would be better that
I should go home and write you an
open letter. The president said he
was profoundly impressed with the in
cidents that attended that tremendous
and unprecedented gathering of the
soldiers and citizens of the great state
Of Kansas.
At Atchison, where a committee Of
forty Topekans met President Har-
rison to escort him to the capital city,
he said in the five minutes his train
stood in the station: "You have a soil
with the blood of men who
died for liberty, and you have we'll

Would Reform Mining Laws

New York, Feb. ia plea for
better mining laws in the western
states was made last night by Sena-
tor T. ]. Walsh of Montana at the
annual dinner of the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers. Senator
Walsh said the mining laws of the
western states were in a chaotic con-
dition and needed reform. He point
ed to their need of modification to
the end that transfer of property and
distribution of claims could be more
properly made. The senator smiling
ly remarked that the business of min
ing is to point out to the world the
opportunities to make money where
no one has ever seen them before.
"There are radium-bearing lands
that are useless except for the pro-
cesses which mining engineers may
bring to bear upon them," he said.
"All through the west are ore depos-
it's which it is certain will prove val
liable in the future"

You are hoping for me to keep Oh fall

you'll be disappointed. You keep in
side the gate till you're called upon to
interfere"
Then Mr.. Bowser examined the
wheels. He took a long look at the
handle bar. but discovered nothing
wrong with it. The pedals seemed to
have been hung on at the right place.
and he could find no fault with the
saddle. Mrs. Bowser stood watching
him over the gate. but he pretended to
be ob%livious of her presence and drew
a long breath and made ready for an
other try at it. 1t suddenly occurred
to him that he didn't get in hops
enough. and sc he started out on a
new plan. With his foot on the step
he began hopping and humping. His
idea was to get a good Roadway and
then rise like a bird. but at the fifth
hop the machine took a shoot into the
ditch, and there was another wres-
ting match, in which it came out on
top.
The Last Straw.
"You e you can't do it." said Mrs.
Bowser as she went out and pulled
the wheel of him. You don't seem
to hold the wheel right, and you hop
on the sole of your foot"
Mr.. Bowser arose and pointed to the
nnon ro<o op6 On ctronr ,o h;c oro.
ton that it was a full half minute be-
fore he could say:
"You will oblige me by going into
the house. Mrs. Bowser. Should | re
quire your presence or feel the need OF
any more rcasm I'll send you Il
postal card!'
She went, and when she had disap-
peared Mr.. Bowser led the machine up
and down the road a few times. pat
ting the saddle In a fatherly way and
humming a tune. BY and by. after a
quick glance at the house to see If
Mrs. Bowser was looking. he made a
sudden dash for the saddle. He got
there. Just how he did it he will
never be able to make out, but to his
utter surprise he found himself there
and his feet clawing about for the
pedals. His first impression was that
he was at least twenty feet above the
earth; his second that he was all of
forty. He had a dim idea that he was
speeding along like a race horse. but
it didn't last long.
Mr.. 6owser's Finish.
When Mrs. Bowser reached him he
was on n side of the road and the
wheel on the other. Mr.. Bowser had
struck On his head and was looking
into vacancy and whispering to him
self. It was like a dream-some one
lifting his head-his body being rolled
about-a wagon coming up and two
men Juggling him into the house. He
meant to charge Mrs. Bowser with
hitting him with a fence rail-with
showing a crowbar between the spokes
to upset him-with maliciously plan.

to come. and while he was wondering
what was the matter he heard one Of
