MEETING OF
GRAND LODGE
Advance Guard of Workmen
Arriving in Wichita.
ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE
Biennial Sessions May be De
clared for,
"The advance guard of the A- O. U. "W.
legions who will own "Wichita. this week
arried in the city yesterday. Their
headquarters arc at the Carey hotel and
from present appearances that house will
bo taxed beyond its capacity to accom
modate. The local committee has been very
successful in the arrangements they have
made to provide comfort for their guests
and the individual members of it are Un
tiring in their efforts to make the vis
itors feel that "Wichita is the only town
in the state fit to hold a grand lodge
meeting in. The visitors who have al
ready arrived are unstinted in their
praise of the warmth of their welcome
to the Peerless Princess.
xhis promises to be the most Important
and interesting meeting in the history
of the Kansas grand lodge, ilany sub
jects of vital importance will come up
for consideration. The most notable of
them is probably the proposition to hold
grand lodge meetings every two years
instead of annually. Some prominent
Workmen believe the proposition will
carry. It is in the interest of economy.
.The expense attached to a grand lodge
meeting is quite heavy and not a few
prominent Workmen believe that annual
grand lodge meetings are unnecessary.
There will be a proposition to elect the
grand olficers on the initiative plan; that
Is, by vote of the members of the lacol
lodges. This will probably be defeated as
the sentiment for a departure from the
present method is not strong.
The grand lodge will probably express
itself in opposition to paying thousands
of dollars annually to jurisdictions which
claim inability to maintain themselves.
One of the charitable acts of the order
in its early days about 1S78, when yellow
fever swept over the south was to help
Jurisdictions where the death rate be
came unusually high on account of ca
lamities. This charitable custom was di
verted to the custom of helping juris
dictions whore the death rate beccame
high on account of the old age of mem
bers or some other cause not growing out
of calamities. Last year Kansas paid
jractically 70.000 to eastern states where
Workmen are inactive and do not rustle
for young members to minimize death
lossos or reduce the average. There is a i
strong sentiment in Kansas to compel j
eastern jurisdictions to rustle for young
blood and to return to the original idea
of helping only jurisdictions which suffer
from calamities such as Texas suffered
In the Galveston tidal wave. In the east
Workman insurance has become largely
speculative. Old men have it carried for
their young relatives many of them dis
tant relatives. The proper thing for
Buch jurisdictions to do is to raise the
rate and be self sustaining and not look
for outside help except in cases of ca
lamity. Another issue will be the subject of dis
trict deputies. Some of the leaders are
oppor-sd to deputies, while others are not
only in favor of them but are in favor ;
of increasing their pay. It 13 said t I
Kansas has graduated more good depu
ties than any other state in the Union j
and there is a bijr demand for thorn all
over the United States not only by the
Workmon but by other orders as well.

well balanced and educated. Mr. Turner
m illustrating the frequency and uncer
tainties of revolutions in Spanish-American
countries said that when he was in
Spain the consul from Honduras asked
him for letters of introduction to parties
at Washington for two of his friends,
commissioners at the Paris exposition.
3Ir. Turner wrote the letters and then
attended a dinner where he met the two
men in question. Both of them were
spendid gentlemen and eminent in the
affairs of their country. Two or three
months afterwards the consul from Hon
duras came to the American consulate
and showed Mr. Turner a home paper
giving an account of the execution of
his friends. TSey weren't aware of the
fact that a revolutionary party had suc
ceeded in their country. While in Spain
Mr. Turner translated the friendly com
mercial laws of Spain for the state de
partment and initiated the measures
which afterwards culminated in removing
the prohibitive barriers between Ameri
can meat products and the Spanish mar
kets. Mr. Turner it was who secured
practically all the interesting documents
in Spain for the world's fair for which
he was commended highly by Secretary
of State James G. Blaine and it was
largely under his management that the
Columbus caravels were built. For this
work the Spanish government has sent
him a medal
Previous to becoming a lawyer, diplomat
and politician, Mr. Turner was an edu
cator and an editor. During his editor
ship of the AVestern School Journal he
increased its circulation fram three
thousand to ten thousand and gave it a
prestige which has been ably maintained
by John McDonald, the noblest Scotch
man of them all. It was he who wrote
the educational article for the Kansas
agricultural report which was awarded
tho gold medal at the Paris exposition, j
Mr. Turner, for a man of strong charac- !
ter and unyielding opposition to sham
in anything, is a very genial gentleman,
inclined to scholarly habits, but y!
practical man of the world. His appear
ance in the hotel lobby is quite distin
guished anu from the way he is greeted
by everybody it is evident thathe is pop- .
ular among tho Workmen. !
: i
John W. Brcidcnthal has shaken hands i
with every representative and delegate !
who has so far arrived in the city to at
tend the grand lodge and it is a safe bet j
to make that he. will shake hands with ;
every one who will arrive between now j
and Tuesday morning. Mr. Bieidenthal ;
is still in the forty-five class, but there I
are evidences that age is telling on him. '
For instance, yesterday he forgot an old
friend's name for several seconds. For
twenty years he has never hesitated at
a man's name, cither at.grand lodge meet- .
ing or political convention. It is said that
he knows more people by name than any
man in the state. Mr. Breidenthal has
bay that tho pay must be increased in ,.,.. . . . . , , '

to secure new members for local lodges
and to get members who have dropped
out by default of payment of dues or
for other causes, to return.
The big item of interest in tho work of
the grand lodge will lie the election i
Grand Master and Grand lteoolver.
For Fraud Master, whose ofl'.ce pays
J1.800 a year, the contestants are R. AV.
Turner of Mankato. John II. Cridcr of
Fort Scott, Judge Foote of Topekn', and
T O. Kelly of Marion. Some people
think that Mr. Turner has a walk away;
others that Mr. Crider lias a cinch; others
that Judge Foote will cause a stampede
towards him. and still others beHeve
that the initgic name of Kelly will have
a tremendous influence on th? delegates.
The second big contest will be for
dead and ten alive. He has held high
o-flec In many of them, for he has a
wonderful knowledge of the idea upon
which they are based. Ho Uses those ex
clusively of mal; membership best, be
cause women are sometimes troublesome
in lodgrs. They bring with them too
frequently petty jealousies into the lodge
meetings and thvy are driven fearfullj
strong to the habit of blackballing. Mr.
Breidenthal's favorite lodge is the A. O.

his old homo town, Chetopa, never having
taken a demit from there. He will bu

acquainted with Minister Bowen. who
has occupied a large place in the public
eye since the latest phase of the Vene

that Bowen made a failure in the Vene
zuelan matter. He considers Mr. Bowen

public service, one who is exceptionally

Yesterday two petitions were filed in tha
city clerk's office remonstrating against
tlie city granting the Kansas City, Mex
ico & Orient railway campany a right of
way up AVichita. street from Lincoln- to
Lewis streets and asking that the road
be given a right of way along the east
bank of the Arkansas river. The peti
tions were signed by a great many of
the property owners who will be affected
by the road running up the street and
they give their reasons for desiring the
change of route as the grades necessary
for building the line will almost prevent
them reaching the main streets of the
city without going in a roundabout way
owing to the high grade crossings which
the east and west streets will necessarily
have on account of the construction of
the road.
Tho city council has already granted a
franchise to the company to use AVichita
street from Lincoln to Lewis streets and
the appraisers are now assessing the ben
efits and appraising the damages for tho
opening of the street and the street will
be opened without delay.
Tho people In that section of the city
have tiled numerous objections to the
opening of the street and and granting it
to the Orient as a right of way but it has
never taken the form of a remonstrance
signed by many of the resident property
owners and asking that the road use some
of the property along the river bank.
The remonstrances will be considered by
the council at the meeting a week from
Monday night.
County Auditor Nighswonger returned
from a trip to tho southwestern part of
the county yesterday. To the Eagle he
stated that at Viola a grading outfit of
one of the Orient contractors is stored at
the present time waiting for the ground
to thaw so that they could begin work
at A'iola and coming toward AVichita.
This will be the first grading done in this
county. The outfit consists of some fif
teen wheel scrapers and a large number
of other grading tools and a force f
nearly fifty men is employed in working
the outfit.
A dispatch from Osage City says:
The Orient railroad surveyors are here
marking out the route for the track, and
it at last seems certain that the road
is coming through Osage City. It is
said that it will enter from the south
east corner of the city and pass north,
through the east side of the city. The
depot will probably be on East. Market
street, the main street It is reported
that an $S,000 depot will bo built
NO ARGUMENT NEEDED
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows
That Salves, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches Do
Not Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and in
halers cannot really cure Catarrh, be
cause this disease is a blood disease, and
local applications, if they accomplish any
thing at all. simply give transient re
lief. The catarrhal poison is in the blood and
the mucus membrane of the nose, throat
and trachea tries to relieve the system
by secreting large quantities of mucus,
the discharge sometimes closing up the
nostrils, dropping into the throat, caus
ing deafness by closing the Eustachian
tubes, and after a time causing catarrh
of stomach or serious throat and lung
troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re
movo the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies for
this purpose are antiseptics -scientifically
known as Red Gum, Blood Root and Hy
drastis and while each of these have
been successfully used separately, yet it
has been difilcult to get them all com
bined in one palatable, convenient and
efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have suc
ceeded admirably Jn accomplishing this
result. They are large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, to bo dissolved in the mouth,
thus reaching every part of the mucous
membrane of the throat and finally the
stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart s,
Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, opi
ate or any injurious drug whatever and
are equally beneficial for little children
and adults.
Mr. C. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N.
Y., says: "I know of few people who ,
have suffered as much as I from Catarrh ;
of the head, throat and stomach. 1 used
sprays. Inhalers and powders for months i
at a time with only slight relief and had
no hope ,of cure. . I had not the racaw ;
to make a change of climate, which j
seemed my only chance Of cure. j
"Last spring I read an account of some j
remarkable cures made by Stuart's Ca- !
tarrh Tablets and promptly bought a fifty j
cent box from my druggist and obtained j
such positive benefit from that one pack
age that I continued to use them daily
until now I consider myself entirely free
from the disgusting annoyance of catarrh:
my head is clear, my digestion all I could i
ask and my hearing which had begun to '
fail as a result of the catarrh has greatlv '
improved until I feel I can hear as well
as ever. They -are a household necessity
In my family."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets arc sold by
druggists at i cents for complete treat
ment and for convenience, safety and
prompt results they are undoubtcdiv the
long looked for catarrh cure.
