GETTING READY FOR WORK.
Mr.. Harper says . Lost sheep VIII Never
Come Home.

There was fair sized audience attended
the meeting at the Baptist church last
night. 1t was expected that the evangel-
list Mr.. Hurlburt would be present but
notice was received that he will not be
here until tomorrow night. The pastor,
Rev. Harper, said he did not intend to
preach much last night but only talk to
the members of the church. Mr.. Harper
is noted for his eloquence and his talk last
night was no exception to his usual SER
mons in that respect.
The service was opened by reading the
account of the proceedings OF the apostles
on the day of Pentecost. Mr.. Harper said
the reason the church was not constantly
in the enjoyment of great spiritual bless
ings was because they neglected the means
provided for obtaining that blessing The
apostles when they received the Holy
Spirit were all with one accord in one place
praying they were waiting for a
promise. That promise was the Holy
Spirit. The church can do nothing with
out the spirit. They must be filled with
the spirit before they convert sinners The
apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit on
the day of PentecoSt and the result was
5000 conversions on that day. Peter could
preach different sermon on that day, to
the one he preached when he stood out
side and warmed himself by the fire at the
time of the crucifxion. We want the
spirit to do the work in this meeting if
men are converted only by the eloquence
of evangelist, their conversions will not
last long. Mr.. Harper referred to the
parallels in the bible. The parable of the
lost ship; the parable of the lost money and
the Prodigal Son. He said the parable of
the lost sheep showed the interest
of the shepherd in the sheep
The shepherd went out to hunt the
sheep. He was glad he said there was only
one sheep because this showed Jesus cared
for us as individuals. There is another
important lesson in this parable. A lost
sheep was used in this parable instead of
some other animal. If a horse or cow got
lost they might return, but there is one
thing remarkable in using sheep in this
parable; that animal when lost, very sell
dom, if ever returns of its own accord.
The shepherd must go out and seek for
the lost sheep. The second parable, the
lost money, he said represented value. 1t
had the stamp of government on it. The
money was lost in the house. He sup
posed women in these times We're like his
wife and good many other women, they
did not have much money. And it was
very likely when this woman in the para
BILE found one piece of her money
was lost that she swept every
room in the house and
moved all the furniture in order to find it.
He thought this parable might represent
members of the church who are getting
away from Jesus. He wanted to know
how many of those present were diligently
seeking for them.
The parable of the prodigal son he said
represented those who deliberately went
away from the truth. Mr.. Harper said
they were getting ready for great work
and he wanted all the church members to
be there tomorrow night and engage in
prayer. They must all receive the Spirit
before they can engage in this work.

UNDER THE CAR.

Sunday evening about 7:30 o'clock f. J.
Loper was, it is now thought, fatally in
jured at the Fort Scott depot, this city.
The particulars of the tragedy are not def
nitely known, and for this reason it may
never be determined if the injury was the
result of an attempt at self destruction or
of an accident. The body of the injured
man was found lying on the track shortly
after the departure of the train and
was carried into the waiting room
of the depot. His body was terribly bruis
ed and both of his legs We're cut off just
below the knees. After some delay, medi-
cal assistance was given the sufferer and
he was afterwards removed to the hospital
and placed under the care of DR.. Fabrigue,
the Fort SCOTS surgeon. He was sinking
during the day, and last night DR.. Fabr-
que expressed little hopes of his recovery
in fact he had serious doubts if he would
live until the morning.
Mr. Loper arrived in the city from Pu-
eblo Saturday night; and his strange be-
havior during Sunday attracted the at
tention of the people with whom he stayed
in this city. He spent most of the day
around the depot; yet was not seen imme-
diaeely before the departure of the train
which he contemplated taking. All the
circumstances were such as led those who
saw him to think he was suffering from
some disease of the mind. He has a
brother living in Wellington, and he
was notified of the occurrence by
Detective McMahan Sunday evening. His
brother expressed an intention of coming
Immediately to the bedside of his relative
and also told the detective to telegraph his
family at Denver.
He is man of about forty-five years of
age, and says he is a Knight Templar and
that his home is in Pueblo.

RECAPTURED.

The man who it may be remembered,
stole set of harness and a saddle from
Dr. Kirkwood on South Lawrence, was
again arrested by Officer Knight for the
theft of an overcoat from livery barn on
North Topeka. 1t seems that the coat
was taken sometime in February, sold by
the thief to Mrs. Silvers and resold by her
to colored man. The owner recognised
his coat and demanded his property. Yes
terday the same man who had sold the
coat appeared at Mrs. Silvers to sell a
lamp The colored man who had pur-
chased the garment notified the officer and
here his arrest was made about 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon. He will be given hearing
this forenoon. The police complain that
after thief is captured he is not prosecut-
by the person from whom he steals, and
cite the case OF this man as an example of
what rascaIs of this class is very likely to
do after being released.

TWO THOUSAND POUNDS OF MEAT.

The Wichita end of the D old Packing
firm subscribed two thousand pounds of
cured meats to the Wichita Relief COM
mittee for the people of the new counties
where the crops were short last summer
Chairman Allen was notified yesterday of
the donation, who will, no doubt, see that
it is properly distributed, The winter is
now nearly over, and probably outside of
seed. but little aid will be called for, but
we desire to say that Wichita as a city has
acted most generously and without any
flourish of trumphets. A large amonnt of
cash. of clothing and of provisions have
been from time to time collected through
committees organized for that purpose,
but it was done SO pretty that the right
hand hardly knew what the other hand
was doing. The Kansas City end of this
Dold firm subscribed like amount some
time in December, but itwas not accepted,
so they turned the first subscription over
to another channel of distribution.

calling on Mr.. Jewett for the faitf
that is in him and the why of reporting
as he did on the question.
Mr.. Jewett-I reported mainly to bring
about discussion. Have not given the
subject any serious consideration or al
least not enough to launch out on a dis
cussion. l understand that a number Of
gentlemen here are prepared for discus
sion so turn them lose.
Balderson-It seems to me we are no,
ready to discuss this question and had bet
ter defer it,
Hatield-I was going to suggest that &
debate be held. 1t is not in the perview o.
the club to give public opinion on this but
simply to give our own views.
Lewis-The letter calling out this ques
tion sought the opinion of the temperance
people on the question.
Douglass-Think it would not be right
to discuss this question in Senator
Kelly's absence. He should be given
a chance to give up his views
1 think that the discussion Of
of this question be deferred until the next

ial invitation to be present.

Burton car works manufactured by the
Fitchburg, Mass, Steam Engine company
everything about it worked to perfection,
and consequently was satisfactory to all

UNIVERSITY.

On every fourth Sunday evening instead
of regular preaching service, the Mission
ary society of the Reformed Congregation
give what they call Missionary Concert,
conducted by the pastor Rev. j. W. Love
One Of these concerts was given last sun
day evening. The program included
hymns, prayer, scripture reading. anthems,
song by three little girls, recitations by
Margie English and Jean B. Love, paper
headed Missionary Miscellany by Miss
Laura Nuss, also one on mission Work

The pastor stated that not only had the
society raised considerable funds for mis-
sion work, but had furnished young
man as promising candidate for the min
istry, who is now at college with this OBJ
ject in view.
For stormy evening the attendance was
quite large and all seemed to be well
pleased. Pastor Love has been in this

The grounds and building, as far as com

old historic Reformed church, organized in
the early part of the sixteenth century as
an important part of the Protestant refor
nation of that day, as also alive to her in
terests here in the midwest. As further
evidence of this, the Wichita university

of the synod of this church organized last
October at Kansas City. 1t promises 10
