If you want to ' get .dfoplVced
the easiest way possible )0u cad ac
commodate yourself in ;,very .' sftort
crier by walking' down to the! hew
postofflce alte and planting yourself
Inside of or on the little "benches
marked, "keep off keep out' Thiy
are perfectly good 1 benches and'on
flrat eight lend the suspicion that
the contractor It more than thought
ful for the many onlooksrs whp
frequent the place at' all ihourSof
tbe day but a soon aa your take up
your camp on the premises ; tnd
pitch your little tent you get straight
ened out on tbe matter In a manner
that leaves no room for discussion.
Moreover, If you feel calledOn to
"amoke up" you can get Into trouble
easier by sneaking in on the back
lota of the postofflce siteith your
exhaling propaganda than in most
any other way. A , number of very
respectable citizens can testify that
these things are true. You want
to keep away from the band wagon
when you go down to pay your re
spects to the government for the
boss on the job is no respecter of
persons and any one who even gives
the suspicion of getting, in the way
or of contaminating the force gets
tbe books in short order. '
Work began again this morning
after a delay of four days. Aftei
the contractor had gone down the
depth for which the contract called
be found that he had not yet reach
cd a point below the cinders and de
bris of the buildings which have been
on the spot before. ,The government
Inspector held up the work until he
could get instructions from the
chief architect at Washington. The
Instructions came and the building
goes up without going down - any
deeper. ' -t
Manager Jones has 18 men at
work now and expects to . get bis
bricklayers busy by tbe first of tlie
week. A full force will be on the
Job until it is completed.

represented in the meeting by two
delegates, Mrs. J. W. Monroe and
Mrs. Albert Young. A dispatcB
from Leavenworth today says:
fWssion-talk was rife today in
tbe Second . day's session of the bi
ennial convention of tbe Degree of
Honor, and the probabilities are
that within a short time there will
ba a' complete divorce between tbe
Degree oi Honor anu me .. v. v.
W.,' It is predicted that within the
next sixty days a special session of
the A. O. U. W. grand lodge will
be balled, and at that time the or-
derwlll throw open its doors to wo
men, and that the two orders will
become competitors in the fraternal
insurance field. Instead of auxiliary
orders.
A critical moment came today
when a committee from the A. O.
U. W. grand lodge appeared on the'
floor and proposed a union of the
two orders. Grrnd Master Gray-
bill was in the hall, and in response
to callB for a speech, said that he
did not care whether the Invitation
was accepted or not. The Indica
tions are tbat the break between
the two orders will be complete be-
fnr f is session of the grand lodge
of the Degree of Honor is adjourned.
It is expected that each will tak
measures to become separate organ
izations, the A. O. U. W. to admit
women, and the Degree of Honor
openings its doors to men. A reso
lution looking towards this was in
troduced this afternoon and was
made a special order of business for
tomorrow morning, when some def
inite action will be taken. : ,
At the election this morning Miss
