We see it stated that cotton mill is
10 be planted and put in operation up in
iowa. This seems a little odd in view
of the fact that many of the cotton mills
That have been in successful operation
for years in New England are being
pulled up and transferred to the cotton
growing districts of the south. The
change of location has been rendered
necessary by the rapid increase of cot
ton mills in the south which places the
New England manufacturer at a disad-
vantage in the matter of freights. In
this connection we mention the fact that
the first prize awarded upland or short
staple cotton at the Cincinnati exposition
was given to Kansas grown cotton. In
view of the fact, therefore, that the great
southern staple can be successfully and
probably grown in Southern Kansas. a
cotton mill or mills will no doubt, ere
long, find places among the many indus
&iss in Wichita.

Following the discovery of new uses
for cotton fiber and cotton seed. and of
the common nettle. comes the news of
the discovery Of some remarkable uses
to which the fiber of the banana NAV be
put. The fiber extends the length of
the body of the tree, or about fifteen
feet, and is of silken fneness. The
utilization of all vegetable and animal
substances for the service of man is the
great desideratum of humanity. A few
years ago Malthusianism was believed
that is, that race increased faster in
proportion than the increase Of food and
other necessities of life. 1t Is now I'M
derstood by political economists that
under state of industrial civilization
food products and other requisites in
crease faster than population.

President-Eelect Harrison has written
the following letter from indianapolis tc
a correspondent in New Castle Under
Tyne, Englund:
Dear Sir:-Your letter of Nov. 10 has
been received. l have never been a
student of our family history, and can
only say in response to your inquiry that
it has been stated, and acceptablv. by
some of MY relatives who have given
study to the subject, that our family was
descended from Gen. Thos. Harrison. an
officer in Cromwells army. l never my

TIE EPISCOPALIA

In his annual address before the State
Episcopal convention at Topeka, Tues
day afternoon, Bishop Vail said that the
church in Kansas had had substantial
growth during the past year; that it is
stronger than ever before; many new
churches have been established, and a
great many churches report good in
crease OF membership.
Bishop Thomas then made a report of
his work for the past year. During the
year six churches had been built and
opened for service, he has visited fifty
two parishes and missions, licensed
twenty-seven lay readers, delivered sew
enty addresses, and preached 112 ser
mons. Churches have been opened this
year at Girard, Arkansas City, Clay
Centre, Winfield, Ottawa and Marys-
vile. Rectories have been built
at Fort Scott, Manhattan,
Arkansas City and Dwight, and
guild house costing $25, 900 at
Topeka. In his address he said: We
have valuable unoccupied church sites
in Baxter Springs, Blue Rapids, Cha
mute, Garden City. Mcpherson, Frank
fort. Wetmore, Humboldt, Nickerson,
Minneapolis, Pittshurg, Dwight, Els
worth, Hutchinson, Kiowa, kingman,
Larned and Garden City. besides recent
purchases in Ottawa, ElDorado and East
Topeka. In several Of these towns
there is great need that churches be
built the coming year. Looking to this
end | have wherever possible organized
ladies' guilds and secured lay readers"
The delegates TO the convention
pledged $l,575 for missionary work dur
ing the coming year.

a NOVEL EXPOSITION SCHEME

At the meeting of the Southern inter
| state immigration association at Mont
gomery Wednesday resolution was in
troduced proposing that in 1S91-'92 the
southern states should join in holding a
southern exposition" either in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago,
Kansas City or st. Paul. The exhibits
displayed are to be confined to the
products and manufactures of the
southern states. Another proposition in
the same line has been submitted which
provides for the collection and arrange
ment upon specially constructed cars all
kinds OF southern products, the monster
tram to move from city to city for pub
lie exhibition; to make it in fact an ex-
position on wheels. ssSuch an undertaking.
would involve immense expense, but
while 1t may sound visionary at first
thought there is no question that it can
be done. 1t would be departure from
the long established plan forsuch shows.
to be sure, but that very reason-the nov
city of the thing, might render it popular.
and consequently successful, for awhile.
By that plan the advertisement for the
sections contributing of their products
and that is the prime object-could be
brought before people and communities
that could not otherwise be reached eff
fectively.

A Topeka paper says: Many in To
peka will be not a little surprised to be
informed that the amount of gas now
used in this city in stores, private resi-
dences, etc., is greater than at any pre-
yious period" Add to this the amount
of the aeriform fluid that goes to waste
around certain other establishments in
that town and the volume is simply in
calculable. The statement quoted throws
some light upon the constantly inflated
condition Of that vicinage.

GEN. HARRISON'S LINEAGE.

Chicago Tribune.
Gen. Harrison writes to a correspond
ent who made an inquiry as to his fam
lily history that he never studied it, but
that relatives have told him that the
earliest known ancestor is Maj. Gen.
Thomas Harrison, one of the ''regicides
or kingkillers. 1t was stated in The
Tribune some months ago that this pedi-
gree was incorrect, and that the Harri-
sons who fought at Tippecanoe, the
Thames in Canada, and Atlanta, were
not the decendents of the Harrison who
fought at Marston Moor and Worcester.
The lineage of Gen. Harrison can be
traced without difficulty from Benjamin
Harrison, who was granted 200 acres Of
land in what is now Isle of Wight coun-
ty, Virginia, as early as 1886. This
Harrison was a farmer, his immediate
descendants being planters and traders.
They were of that honest English stock
which formed the backbone of colony
which owed more to .plain John Smith
than to all the so-called cavaliers that
ever settled there. As Mai. Gen. Thorn
as Harrison was executed III 1860 by the
Royalists it is easy to see that the Viz
ginia Harrisons cannot be credited to
him. Gen. Harrison will be the eighth
president born in Virginia or descended
from Virginia stock, the others being
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, William Henry Harrison, Tyler,
and Taylor. New England has had
nine-the two Adamses, Pierce, Lincoln,
Grant. Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and
Cleveland. Only four of them, however,
were born east of the Hudson.

An Important Ruling.

Topeka democrat.
In the United States circuat court
yesterday Judge Foster sustained the
motion of L. I. Bird. attorney for the
plaintiff in the case of Henry Shaw VS..
the Continental Insurance company, to
remand the case to the state court.
Judge Foster holds that under the act
of 1915, q case must be removed at the
first term of the district court at which
the case could be triable, if issues were
not delayed by an order of the court, or
stipulation OF the parties, and not at the
term at which the case conld be first
triable in fact. This is the first ruling
of the kind ever obtained in Kansas and
is against the universal construction put
upon the act OF 1915 by both the at
torneys and the courts. A great many
cases now on the docket of the federal
court, will be remanded under this
ruling

Some things are self evident in morals

to plead guilty to them. When you

full egg is always bad. The merchant
who Is compelled to produce afidavits

corps did not reach the field until 2 p. m;
that it then formed in line of battle at about
a right angle to the general line of the First
corps, but did not connect with its right by
several hundred yards, and both the tanks
were in the air that is, they did not rest in
defensive position and had no supports).
When Ewell's troops approached from Car
Isle and York, they struck the Eleventh
corps in front and on both tanks almost at
once, resulting in an easy victory for the
enemy, and giving them possession of Gettys-
burg before the First corps had ceased fight
ing or left its position west of the Seminary"
Maj. Halstead states the case in its bald
ness, but he is true to the official records.
Howard was acting under the same orders as
was Reynolds, whose corps was in marching
trim soon after daylight on the 1st, obeying
promptly the very spirit of Meades order,
and this promptness of Reynolds with his
First corps, accounts for the difference be-
tween his arrival at Gettysburg and that of
the Eleventh corps-a difference of some
three or four hours, yet both had the same
distance to col

ward johnson. In the meantime, the capture
of courier with dispatch from Gen. H W.
Slocum revealed the fact that the Twelfth
corps was at hand, so the advance was not
made. The severest critic of this over eau
ton on Ewell's part is the Confederate Gen
LongStreet, who says: Pursuit, pell nell. is
sometimes justified in a mere retreat and is
the accepted principle i'll a rout. Gen Early,
IN his report of this days work, says: The
enemy had been routed He should there
fore have been followed by everything that
could be thrown upon his heels not so much
to gain the heights, which were recognized
as the rallying point, but TO prevent his raj
lying at all in time to form lines for another
battle. Hays had received orders through
Early from Gen. Ewen to halt with his
brigade at Gettysburg. But he saw that
the enemy was coming round by the Balti-
more road and were making for the heights
the Cemetery Ridge. This ridge meant life or
death, and for the possession of it the battles
of the ID and Sd were fought"
1t is asserted by some, Gen. Early among
the rest, that had "Stonewall" Jackson been
in MS old place at the head of the o0rps Leo

would have been made, and, once successful
