KANSAS CHURCHES.

Topeka Journal: Four persons
united with the North Topeka Taber-
nacle church yesterday, and two others
made the good confession. There is
scarcely ever service held at this
church without additions to it's member.

Wellington Monitor: Through the
efforts of the Ladies Social Union some
valuable improvements have been made
to the Presbyterian church property.
The ladies raised quite sum of money
by a series of entertainments during
the winter, which has been expended
in painting the church and parsonage
adjoining and in necessary repairs to
both buildings
Paola Republican: Rev. Chas. N.
Cate has been installed pastor of the
Presbyterian church. The church was
filed and the ceremony interesting and
profitable. Rev. Mckinney of Ottawa
preached an able sermon and Rev.
Humphrey of Garrett gave the charge
to the pastor and the people. The
pastors of other churches in Paola were
present and assisted in the installation.
The music rendered by the choir was
very fine and deserves special mention
We congratulate the people of the
Presbyterian church upon securing 80
able minister as Rev. Cate.

Arkansas City Dispatch: The con-
tract is let to Doyle & Trask for the erec-
ton Of the First National Bank building
on the southeast corner OF SUNNI t
Street and Fifth avenue. The build
ing is to be four stories above the
basement and the stone work to cost
nfty thousand dollars. Mr.. A. A.
Wiley, of the American National Bank
says they will soon commence their
bank building on Summit and Waeh-
lngton avenue. It will undoubtedly,
be one of the finest buildings in the
city. The Newman block, OF four
stored buildings is now under good
headway, also the Newman, Hess &
Stauber block, on Fifth avenue, which
will cost seventy-five thousand dollars.
This goes to show money is plentiful

glowing prospects as she does to-day.

CLOTHES do not make the man, as
witness those worn by Mr.. Parnell,
who is probably as much in the public
eye as any man in Great Britain. Ac-
cording to the testimony of his friend
and colleague in the House of Com
mons, T. P. O'Connor, Mr.. Parnell
has never given much care to his dress.
When he first entered the House he
wore short shooting-jacket made of
coarse Irish frieze, and carried big
blackthorn stick. He looked like q
young and innocent farmer from the
country who had strayed into London,
and who would fall an easy victim to
the first confidence trick man that
tempted him. This era passed away,
and he took to the long frock coat
which nearly every member of Parlia-
ment wears. These coats he has ever
since worn, and nearly always till they
were threadbare even to shininess.
His hats. too, have competed with
those of Mr.. Biggar as to being the
most napless and shapeless in the
House Of Commons. Of recent years
this tendency to bad clothes has in
creased, and especially since his ILL.,
mesa.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Junction City Republican: An ex-
change says the Union Pacific offers
$4,000 cash to any person who will
shoot train robber on any of their
trains.
Burlington Independent: The Mis-
sour, Kansas & Texas has ordered 500
new coal cars preparatory to its en-
trance to Kansas City, over the Blair
road, running from Osceola to Kansas
City. This connection will be OF great
value to any part of Kansas.
The railways in the western freight
association have reduced the through
rates on soft lumber, lath, shingles, ect.,
to points in Kansas, Nebraska and the
Indian Territory, and Panhandle OF
Texas, by deducting three cents per
one hundred pounds from the rates
shown in tariffs of January %, 1889.
A reduction in the price Of lumber will
probably follow and in fact some deal
ers have already announced it

STOCK AND FARM.

| junction Clty Sentinel: Il. w. OeS-
terhaus paid $25O.OO for an 18-month-
old Hereford bull and has placed him
out on his Geary county farm.
Jewell City Republican: Russell
Mallory suffered more than ANYBODY
else we hear of from smut in the wheat.
His field from which he expected 1000
bushels will not be worth the Irvine it
takes to bind it. The smut seems to be
in spots, here and there over the coun-
try, and will not preceptibly effect the
grand aggregate.
Holton Recorder: J. F. Humid, of
Straight Greek, has about forty hands
at work IN the large meadows of the
Lenwood farm. There is about 1000
acres Of Timothy and clover hay to
make, and will turn off from 5000 to
1000 tons. They will use it in feeding
their stock this winter. The second crop
of clover will be cut and hulled this win
ter for seed.
Greensburg Times: The report that
corn in the sandhills is all yellow is not
true. A reporter of the Times saw not
over three cornfelds that could be
termed yellowish, and these were chok-
ed with weeds. We have no respect
for corn that won't ego back" on farm
er who is too lazy to clear out the
weeds and thus rid this noble cereal of
noxious associations and jaundice pro-
ducing associates.
Medicine Lodge Index: Chaplin
Bros. have made first-class half-mile
track on their place, northeast of the
house, where they will train several of
their young horses this season, and get
diamond Joe" and "Egmont"i into their
old gaits. T. G. Molloy's colt is also
being driven on the track, and is going
to surprise somebody. If the Chaplin
track were only little nearer to town,
there would be horse show there this
fall, certain.
A Dighton special: We have ceased
to regard the rain, it being so plenty
that there is far more danger of too
much than too little, and farmers are al
ready blowing for the next wheat CROP
At a very low estimate, $4,000 acres will
be sown this fall. Quite number of
men are sowing wheat as speculation,
hiring everything done, and costing less
than 50 per acre for all work and seed.
Twenty bushels pan out well on this in
vestment, as any one can readily see.

The thimble had never been in use
in Siam until few years ago, when
the King, noticing that some American
ladies who visited his court used thin
bles, had one made for his Queen. It
was made of gold, in the form of
lotus bud, the lotus being the Siamese
royal floral emblem, and was thickly
studded with diamonds, so arranged as
to form the Queens name and the date
of her marriage. The presentation was
equal to an order that the ladies of
Siam should use thimbles, and they
have used them ever since.

WE can hardly overestimate the
value of the stride made already to-
ward the discovery and invention of
explosives that are safe for carriage
and handling. Dynamite has been q
source of anxiety and danger only
worse than gun-cotton as that was
worse than powder. But as it was
with Illuminating materials, so with
explosives. We have in bellite . sub
stance that can be thrown about
roughly. A cartridge may be broken
in two and burned in q fire, where it
will consume slowly. It may even be
lighted while held in the hand and no
danger be incurred; or, what seems
more wonderful, a fragment of bellits
may be fired from q gun without ex-
ploding when striking an iron target.
Yet, fired by q detonator, the new ex-
plosive is far more powerful than dyna-
mite.

A CALIFORNIA philosopher evolves
the theory that the many divorces in
that State are due to the GOODNESS of
the climate and the high price of coal.
In the evening, he says, it is SO chilly
that the husband and wife can't sit
down comfortably as they do in the
East, and with coal at SIS ton they
can't afford to use it. So the husband
gets into the habit of going out for a
walk in order to keep warm, and the
wife often gets into the same habit.
Divorces soon follow.
