One year ago, the verDal breezes
waited over the Kansas prairies bore
along to Lcuiahted homes and villages
glad tidings from two disciples sent
west To raise fallen humanity and incul-
cate the principles of morality in the
ignorant minds of Kansans. No home
so pure hut their words and teachings
would benefit; no church government
was so perfect but these emblems of
purity could Improve. No lessons of
Christianity taught at mothers knee
was half so good as their new-fangled
plan of salvation; no precept issued by
Diyine command was as imperative as
their commandments. They were sent
by the Wise Men of the East to follow
the direction of Star in theWest which
would bring them to Kansas, and when
here they were to preach above all things

All of the time she was ranting through
Kansas preaching prohibition, she was
living in adultery with married man.
Rut what was worse, she was encourag-
ing her adopted daughter, Cora Lee, to
be guilty of like crime with the same
man; she encouraged this man Graham
to desert his lawful wife and marry Co
ra Lee and then, when the wife objected
to this unlawful alliance between Ora
ham and Cora Lee, she was enticed to
Springfield, Missouri, and there cruelty
murdered by Graham. Mrs. Molloy and
Cora Graham are now held as accesso-
ries to the crime and Kansas has lost
another female lecturer and reformer.

make his influence further felt. Until
this week he was editor of the Abilene
Gazette, besides being pastor Of a
church.
To-day he is disgraced libertine.
His fall was speedy aud can be told of
in few words:
In Abilene he became infatuated with
n young woman; wrote her notes and
suggested trysting places; she answered
them. but the two did not get together
until last Saturday night. The girl had
previously notified her friends and they
advised her to continue her relations
with DIR. Krohn. She accordingly noti-
fed him that she was going to Junction
City that night and would be at the
Bartell house. Krohn went on the
same train and at o'clock he was
caught, partially undressed i'm the lady's
room. The sheriff, a police officer and
the ledy's affanced had been advised of
the programme and they stepped in on
the sancumonious preacher at exactly
