AnditS Gland Work For the Trav-
cling Gentlemen,

Mr.. j. G. Van Pelt, general man
ager of the,travelers' protective ascot
ton of the United States, passed
through here yesterday enroute tc
Kansas City in the interest of that
association, but more especially in the
interest of the Missouri division. The
Office of general manager was created
at the last national convention,
held at Atlantic City,
at which time Mr.. Van Pelt was Sc.
lected to visit the various divisions
throughout the United States for the
purpose of putting the T. P. A. ma
chinery in the best working order.
The principal objects are to increase
the membership, both active and as
sociate, to see that the committee
work of the railroad, hotel, press,
legislative and employment commit
tees is properly performed, and to
look after the general welfare of the
association.
Mr.. Van Pelt was accompanied by
George s. McGrew, president of Mis-
souri, division I. P. A, and at the
latter's request Mr.. Van Pelt agreed
to begin his first work for the benefit
of this state by visiting St. Louis,
Kansas City and st. Joseph. He
has already visited st. Louis and is
DOW ready to begin in Kansas City.
His success thus far has surpassed all

AN IMMIGRANT PICTURE.

The Forlorn Appearance of the Ordinary
Arrival From Foreign shores.
There Is something pathetic about
the shyness and forlorn appearance OF
a newly-arrived immigrant 1t is
true enough that his bashfulness
wears off rapidly and that he soon be-
comes exceedingly self-assertive and
independent, but on the day that he
arrives at Castle Garden he is so weak
and tired that he hardly dares to ask
a question OF strangers. A family of
Norwegians were landed from q
steamer the other day, who were,
perhaps, rather more timid than the
average immigrants. They were ais
odd-looking set. The father and
mother, both stout and red-faced,
dressed in rough, heavy garments,
had five children. The children
ranged from little girl about FIVE
years old to q numbering, large-limbed
boy of eighteen. The child was SO
terribly overcome by the strangeness
OF her surroundings that she held her
dirty little face pressed close against
her mothers gown whenever any one
looked at her. OF the three other
children. one was a tall, awkward
girl, who seemed to have lost
her power of speech, and the other
two were chubby-faced boys, fat and
healthy-looking. but too diffident to
look a stranger in the face. The whole
family started up town along Broad
way. Each one of them, except the
youngest, measured the height Of
every building with his eye, and the
whole group seemed amazed and
stunned by the sights around them
The writer happened to walk behind
them as far as City Hall Park. Here
he lost sight OF them. An hour Or two
however, ne saw the same
group at Fourteenth street and Broad
way. They had made their way uS
the street in hal! dream, humping
into people and hurrying over cross
ings. Where they were going it would
have been difficult to tell. for they
asked no questions. Few people, per-
haps. could have understood them had
they done so. They stood there for
some time, evidently in great doubt,
almost in terror. The crowd was
breaking around them, hurrying and
pushing and scattering away, but they
were fixed, the child's face still pressed
against her mothers gown. The new
world to them must have seemed at
that moment an uninviting, cherries
place. Y. Tribune.

A Summer Vacation.

At this time Of year nearly every one
begins to think of a summer vacation, or
an outing of some kind for a little recrea-
ton. For those who desire to visit the
summer resorts of the East, Niagara Falls,
the White Mountains, Old Point Comfort,
and numbers of others, there is no line
which offers better facilities or lower rates
than the Burlington Route. If the trip is
to be by way of Chicago, the Hannibal &
81. Jossph's fast vestibule train, eli" has
no peer leaving Kansas City in the even
ing the traveller takes supper and breakfast
on the dining car, arriving In Chicago in
time for all connections east. II he desires
to go by the way Of st. Louis, he leaves
Kansas City after supper and arrives in
st. Louis for an early breakfast and east
ern connections. Both of these trains are
luxurious in every respect and equipped
with Pullman Palace sleeping cars and
free reclining chair cars.
For short trip there is probably no
more delightful summer resort than
Spirit Lake, Ia, or one of the other count
less lakes in northern Iowa and Mime

cannot do batter than take the morning
train of the K. c., st. j & c. B. Z. R.,

next morning for breakfast. From these
points he can make direct connections for
summer resorts in all directions. This
train has one of Pullman's Fl. est buffet

and ST. Paul. This also is the train to

"a SUSPECT"
Judge John Philips, Formerly OF
This City, Tells How He
Found a Brother.

The Kansas City Star says DR..
William Philips. proprietor of the
Cable drug store at the corner of Fiji
teenth street and Grand avenue, is an
elder brother of Judge John +.
Philips of the United States district
court. The doctor, although 60 years
of age, is as straight as an arrow and
without q gray hair. He went to
Texas when a young man and be-
sides being a skilled surgeon, he was
noted for his chivslry and bravery.
Quick to resent an insult, his hot
temper caused him to fight two duels.
DIR. Philips was strongly opposed
to secession, and although his interests
were all in the Lone Star state, he
risked everything to maintain bis 10y
atty to the union. In defiance of the
advice of family and friends, DR..
Philips went through the federal lines,
got au audience with President Lin
coin and from him received authority
to raise brigade of union soldiers in
Texas. With the important docu.
ment in his pocket, DR.. Philips un-
dertook to get back to Texas through
the lines of both armies. One Incl.
dent in this risky journey is related
with great enjoyment by Judge
Philips.
81 knew my brother had remained
q federalist in spite of his location"
said the Judge. "but l hadn't seen him
for years. While the battle of Battle
Creek was going on, a prisoner was
brought to me. The officer told me
he was q suspicious looking man
caught within the lines and unable to
give a very clear account of himself,
but insisted upon seeing me personal
ly. ordered the prisoner to the rear
as / had no time then to bother with
him. But the suspect managed to get
in a word before they took
him back. "Don't you know
me?' he asked. / looked at him
closely for a moment before | recog.
nized him as my brother William. l
had not seen him since / left home for
college. After the Sight / had a
chance to talk to him. He said he
was on his way home to raise brigade,
and showed me his authority
signed by President Lincoln. He had
gotten safely through our lines and
was actually back within the enemies
when my men captured him,
he was a confederate
soldier. l tried to argue him out of
his toolhardy journey
south with such dangerous papers
about him. l told him the rebels
would surely hang him, but my argu-
ments and pursuasions were useless.
1 could not stop him. He went on to
Texas, and when Farragut captured
New Orleans William marched in his
brigade and turned it over to General
Hamilton ready for duty"

A TROUBLESOME OVERSIGHT
Valuable Ground FOnnd to Be
long to Disbanded
Church.

The First Baptist church recently
contracted to purchase a piece OF
ground on MoDiteau street as a site
for their new church of the Broadway
Presbyterian church. They raised
the necessary funds, SO, 500, but when
the Broadway trustees went to make
tina deed they discovered that the
title was in the First Presbyterian
church of Sedalia, an organization
that had disbanded long ago. 1t ap-
pears that the First Presbyterian
church purchased the ground several
years ago for 81, 500 as a site for q
church they proposed 10 build. Before
the work of building had been com.
menced the Broadway church unit
ed with them and they abandoned their
organization. After time it was de-
cided to abandon the arrangement to
erect a new building and
remodel the Broadway building. This
was done and the congregation moved
to it. As the church was generally
known as the Broadway Presbyterian
church it was decided to adopt that
name and discard the old name, First
Presbyterian, which was done, and
that organization was allowed to
lapse. In closing up the affairs the
trustees should have conveyed the
grounds in question to the Broadway
trustees and the fact that they had
not done so was not discovered until
the recent sale called for the making
of an abstract of title. Steps will be
taken at once to haYe the title con-
firmed to the Broadway church by the
circuit court. They will have no
trouble in fixing it up as all concerned
are willing that it shall be done, but
it will cause some delay. The Bap-
lists have deposited the money in bank
and by consent of all parties inter-
ested will take possession of the
ground and begin their foundation as
soon as the plans are completed.
