olution requesting the churches to seud

At the Kansas Baptist convention,
held at Fort Scott last week, the COM
rnittee on temperance reported, through
tbs chairman, Rev. J. b. futile: So
far as our commonwealth is concerned
we hatter ourselves that We have solved
the problem Of means, and have adopted
the most effective agency with which TO
suppress tho evil and promote the cause
of temperance. Having adopted the
most radical measure, and having by it
succeeded in discriminating the grOg
shop. and In blotting cut the word stsa-
loon" We congratulate ourselves that
We are on the right road that leads to
permanent and universal victory. The
success that has attended the prohibitCry
act so far, as compared with other sgen-
ciee, leads us 2 o believe that it is the
most effective and the best to accomplish
the end which We have in view. and as
such We commend ii to the friends and

Over the shipping room, commanding
view of the main floor, is a mezzanine
story, handsomely fitted up for ladies'
reception room, decorated in oriental
STYLE, with handsome tiled fire place,
ornamental balustrade and frieze screen.
The three floors above this are given
up to the sale of goods, with the excep-
ton of part on the second floor, where
is located the cashiers desk, which occu-
pies q space about IS feet long by 10 feet
wide; and the private office of the firm,
Office of the book-keepers, entry clerks,
stenographer and bill clerks. The fifth
floor is used for manufacturing and
dress-making. Three elevators, two for
passengers and one for freight, are con-
stantly plying from floor to floor and
are furnished with all the modern appii-
ances for insuring safety.
Some idea of their available space may
be had from the fact that in the three

Every precaution has been taken to
guard against fire, not only by locating
the boilers away from the building and
encasing pipes with asbestos, but also by
the putting of fire escape in the rear.

balcony which commands an extended
view of tho city and country surround
ing, and which is well worth visit.
Their Mail Order Bureau forms spe-
cial feature OF their business, and in
point of promptness and accuracy in fill

ually striving to please, realizing that
the larger their business becomes the
more inducements they can offer, and
the more satisfactory the service. Their
advertisements, pamphlets, and cata-
logues are scattered Systematically
throughout the South, by the thousands,
and no efforts are spared to satisfy the
most trivial wants of their customers.
They extend cordial invitation to
you to visit their establishment, and
make it your Headquarters when you
visit the city, whether you purchase or
not. You can safely write to them for
anything in their line, as they refund
the money if you are not satisfied with

All the property of Mr.. Samuel j..
Lang. a merchant tailor, was at
tached by creditors last week. and
his shop closed up. On Friday Mr..
Lang was arrested and taken before
Justice Howell, charged with at
tempting to leave the State without
satisfying his creditors and commit
ted by him 10 Jail. On Saturday
Mr. Lang, by writ of habeas corpus,
was taken before the Supreme Court
of Appeals. The Court, Judge John
son delivering the opinion, decided
that under the statute the debtor
was wrongfnlly imprisoned, ordered
that he be released from Jail and be
committed to the custody of the con-
stable who made the arrest. He
subsequently satisfied his creditor
to the best of his ability by con
Tossing Judgment" and was released.
Messrs. B. d.. Gibson and L. G..
Green appeared for Mr.. Lang. and
Hon. ID. b. Lucas and J. +. Engle
against him. The SPIRIT says;
"There was not particle of fraudulent
intent shown i'm the act of the citizen UNI
der arrest, he simply had not sufficient
property 10 pay all his debts and the
community was aroused at the great
cruelty OfSuch barbarous law, and just
ly exhibited great sympathy for the
Young man. 1t is misfortune but not
a crime to meet with failure In business,
aud when you give ever all your proper
tv 20 creditors a law allowing imprison-
ment for other debts in any way is con-
trary 10 our civilization, and should be
modified or abolished.
Mr.. Lang conducted q tailoring
establishment here for Is months,
and during his stay in our midst,
by his integrity and affable manners,
made many warm friends. We learn
he has formed a partnership with a
GOOD firm in Harrisonburg, Va. We
wish him every success in his new
home.

Expected Advance in Wheat.
Clarke Courier.

Information comes from Paris that
a head member of one of the largest
wheat firms in that city places the
shortage ofwheatin France at $780,
900 quarters, in Italy at 100000
quarters, in Germany at 3OO,oOo
quarters, while England will be com
PEELED, he says, to import 100000
quarters ever her imports a year ago,
making in all a shortage OF certain
" 1O,5OO,000 quarters" or S4,OOO,-
600 bushels, which will have to be
supplied from Russia, India, Austria
liza and America. The some infor-
nation states that this Paris firm is
now buying wheat in America, pay
ing more for it than the market in
France justifies, but the purchaser
says he expects to sec an advance
of 20 per cent. over present rates.
Whether these statements are true
we cannot say. Ifthey are it is diff
ficult to account for the present
weakness in America markets.
