stream, lined with thriving farms.
Chelsea is soon reached. No one could
ask for a more handsome site for town.
1t is growing rapidly. The people still
feel confident that some day they viii
have the county seat. They have fine
school building, the best one in Kansas
southwest of Emporia. Chelsea has
not only the advantage of beautiful
location and q fertile adjacent country
but it has more timber in close proxim-
ity than most of our Kansas towns can
claim. Several streams form junction
with the Walnut at this point, all very
we'll .timbered. The best field of oats
that we have thus far seen is just below
Chelsea. We leave Chelsea and travers-
ing nine or ten miles more of the Wal
nut in southwesterly direction reach
Eldorado. We are agreeably surprised.
We expected to see a wooden town of
fifty or sixty houses part of them old
and dilapidated. But the town has
more than twice this number of build
ings all new and neat in appearance.
Every branch of business is represent
ed. The Chicago business house would
do credit even to Emporia. DIR. White
has q very neat drug store. They can
boast Of the neatest and handsomest
paper in Kansas. Such paper as Bent's
is worth 4 mine of gold to any new
town. The circulation is already large
and rapidly increasing each week. The
citizens give it liberal advertising pat
ronage. They evidently appreciate it.
In our opinion Eldorado is some day
destined TO be a large place. Butler
county is one of the best counties in the
State. 1t is rapidly settling. Two
railroads at no distant day will form
junction here. The X. G. Ottawa
and Emporia road will come down the
Walnut valley, and the SedaIia Fort
Scott and Humboldt road viii be sure
to strike her on its way to Wichita
and farther west. With these two
roads she will be one of the best points
in Kansas. The citizens here say they
will not vote bonds for the Kansas City
and Ottawa road unless it will come by
way of Emporia. If it goes by way OF
Burlington they will not get the 9th
parallel road; and of course they want
to secure both. OF our visit to Witchi-
ia, Arkansas City and other towns in
Southwestern Kansas we shall speak
next week.

LIFE IN UTAH.

Or the Mysteries and Crimes of Nor
monism, being an expose of the Sc
cret rites and ceremonies, with full
and authentic history of polygamy
and the Mormon sect, from its origin
to the present time, illustrated with
80 fine engravings.
This is the title of new book Just
issued by the National Publishing Co.
The author is j. II. Beadle, editor of
the Salt Lake Reporter, and Utah cor
respondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
ctal. 1t is well printed and gotten up,
and we should judge it to be very relia-
BILE and pointed. The work treats of
Mormonism in all its forms; of its
crimes and lawlessness in Utah; of po-
lygamy in theory and practice; of the
Mormon religion; of Utah Territory,
etc. "The book is full of the most alb
sorbing episodes and incidents of Nor
mon life and mystery, as well as of SOL
id and practical information. The high
praise which the work has received from
members of Congress and Government
officials to whom it was submitted, and
by whom it's publication was urged as
a duty to the country, stamps it as no
ordinary work, but as one of the most
powerful and thrilling books ever pub
lished." 1t contains an accurate and
minute map, showing every place and
object of interest in Utah Territory.
Mrs. Martha Reagan, of Emporia, has
been appointed agent of this interesting
work for Lyon county, and will imme-
diately canvass the city and county for
subscribers. tits sold only by subscrip-

MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Union Ministerial Association to
be held in Americas, July 18th, is not
so much to create and bring about the
unity of the church, but as stated in the
constitution of the Evangelical Alliance
for the United States, "to maintain and
exhibit the essential unity of the Church
of Christ" The main divisions of the
Protestant Evangelical Churches in the
great essential doctrines set forth by
Christ and His Apostles, are divided
only in the sense of distributed. These
union meetings are designed to bring
the Catholic Church together on COM
mon ground, where she may recount
the trials and triumphs of the Christian
warfare and gather new strength for the
contest.
The Association is composed of Min
listers and Laymen of the various Evan
gelical Churches. We invite a full at
tendance. j. MCANULTY.

The Chinese problem may be precip-
itated upon us sooner than we had an
ticipated. There seems to be lack of
laborers In almost every part of the
country. Perhaps we should say lack
OF those who are willing to labor. Pub
lie improvements are being extended
everywhere, and there never was so
as at present. Neither was there ever
so wide spread disposition to earn
livelihood by other means than by the
sweat of the brow. Hence the impor-
nation of Cinnamon to supply the de-
mand. There is scarcely room to doubt
but that the importation of Cinnamon
by the ship load is directly against the
interests ofthe laboring classes of Amer
lea. They are degraded and work
much cheaper than Americans can work.
The consequence is general feeling
of opposition to their introduction in
America. This feeling of opposition
has already reached the East. The ex-
pertinent recently made in Massachu-
sets of introducing Chinese operatives
in manufacturing has stirred up much
feeling all over the country among the
various trades. Meetings have been
held, speeches made, and resolutions
adopted, resembling in their general
character the demonstrations which
took place on the same subject in Cali
fornia. AS yet no indications of in
tended violence have been given, but it
il certain that strong antagonism is
being developed. The Superintendent
of the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road, now being constructed, having
concluded that the experiment of en-
ploying negro labor was failure, con-
tracted with Koopmanschap & Co., of
San Francisco, for ], 800 Chinese labor
ers to be forwarded at once. This, of
course, will rouse the jealous hostility
of the freedmen, and, in connection with
thu similar feeling at the North, may
turn strong current of prejudice
against the Mongolian. 1t would be
curious il the latter should take the
place so long occupied by the negro as
an element of political discord. We
are very much inclined to the opinion
that the general introduction of Chi
nese labor in this country won't work
well. 1t may do for capitalists but not
for the laboring classes.

EMPoRIA.-One of our corps visited
Emporia on the 4th. Taking the hand
some cars of the A. 7. & S. L. Railroad
at Z II a. NJ, the ride to Reading.
through the beautiful country all along
the line was pleasant indeed. The four
horse coach of Tisdale, Parker & CO.,
took five passengers to Emporia, II
miles, in good time, landing them all at
the popular Madison House, so well
kept by the Topekaites, Kellam and Bill.
The track is laid to within six miles of
Emporia, and the stages will run from
there to AIarais des Cygne. 1t is ex-
pected that Emporia viii be reached in
ten or twelve days. Through the kind
ness of Gov. Crawford he was ena-
bled to see Emporia to better advantage
than ever before. He took him in his
carriage and drove all over the city.
Emporia is beautifully located, that is
certain. We give it the palm, next to
Topeka, as being ahead, in that respect,
of any town in the State. Better build
ings are being erected this season than
ever before. Many of them are large
and elegant, n credit to much larger
places. Business in every department
is active. The crops in the vicinity of
Emporia are good, wheat being, we are
informed, better than an average of
former years. Oats, potatoes and corn
all look well.-IOpeka Record.

While the Romish church is tighten
ing fits clutches around the throats of its
adherents, II is gratifying to announce
that professionalism is becoming more
liberal. News comes by the Atlantic
cable that the German and Swiss Con-
ference of the M. Z. church, which met
at Carlsruhe on the 23d of June, cast all
Its votes (39) in favor of lay represen-
tation. By this addition, the afirma-
tive vote of the ministry reaches 4,946,
against negative vote of 1,5S9-mak-
Ing a grand aggregate of $685.. Three
fourths of 6,535-the affirmative vote
required-is 1901, or As less than 1916,
the affirmative vote cast. This puts the
result beyond all contingency-which
is not only gratifying, but very signifi-
cant, also, in many respects, when it is
remembered that all the Methodist Epis-
copal churches throughout the world
both ministry and laity-have partici-
pated in the election.

KANSAS CITY AND SANTA FE RAIL-
ROAD.

We clip the following sensible. article
from the Walnut Valley Times. 1t cer-
tainly takes the right view of things for
the interests of Butler county. This
road, if built through Butler county,
traverses the Walnut Valley right
through the heart of the county, thus
benefitting all the people of the county.
We can say to the Times and to the peo-
pie of Butler that the sentiment here
for the road down the Walnut, touching
on the towns in the Valley, is unani-
nous, and that the people of this sec
ton arc determined to learn no stone
unturned to accomplish this object at
the earliest possible day. The Times
says:
"This road viii be completed TO OF
tawa by the 10th of July. The original
route as surveyed west from Ottawa is
to Emporia and as to this place, an eff
fort is being made to divert il to Bur-
lington and Eureka and on West 10 Ell
dorado.
We win probably get the road, if we
render sufficient assistance. by either
route. The Humboldt and Arkansas
IAlNcE hdl1EOdu anu ILLS TOau tlIC thC
only ones spoken of as likely to pass
through Butler county. If the Kansas
City road is built by the way OF Eureka
we will get but one road, and Eureka
will get the junction of the two roads.
If it is built via Emporia, we get the
junction of the two roads here, which
would certainly be the more preferable.
Therefore, we are of opinion that it
would be to our interest to encourage
the building of the Kansas City road by
the way of Emporia. Coming this way
it would necessarily have to traverse the
entire valley if it should be built to
Arkansas City. We do not think it
would be to our interest to vote bonds
for the road to come by way of Burling
ton. The Kansas City and Santa Fe
Road is being built very rapidly, and
we will soon be called upon to do some
thing in this matter. We will be asked
to vote bonds for both roads. The ques-
ton is: Are the citizens willing to aid
these enterprises by voting bonds? The
proposition should be carefully consid-
cred by every property holder, so that
it can be voted intelligently.

The Council Grove AdU0rtiseT is jubi-
liant over the prospect of two more
railroads. We are always glad to share
in the rejoicing of our neighbors over
their prosperity. The 14dcertiSer says ::
ave have glorious railroad news and
three railroads are apportioned as our
share. We already have a north and
south road in one year we will be
placed in direct communication with
the East by a road from Holden, No.,
and in another year the second Eastern
road will open up to us a direct route
to Chicago.
1t has been quite probable that the
branch of the M, X. & I. r. r. from
Holden, No., west to Denver would
make Council Grove point, but we
never felt very sanguine about it until
this week, on receiving the almost Off
ial announcement of the location of the
route BY Council Grove in the issue of
q new map by the NJ, K. & 7. X. II. Co.,
whereon the route is laid Enthusiastically
by Council Grove. Right on top of this
came the information that company
had been chartered, proposing to build
railroad from St. Joseph, Mo-, via
Holten and Wamego to Council Grove.
Two articles we copy on this page viii
explain more fully the two orgaHiZa-
tions, routes of road, status, etc.

r. b. Lockwood and Isaac Sharp were
appointed committee ct O meeting of
the citizens on Wednesday evening last,

ST. Joseph road, and they are now alb
sent IN the discharge OF their duties.
