SUNDAY SCHOOi. WORKERS.
Proceedings nf the Southwest Sunday
school Association.

Proceedings 0f the Southwest Sunday
school Association.
The Southwest Sunday School asso.
citation met at Carlton, February 22d
The meeting was opened by devotional
services led by T. w. Meserve, who, in
the absence of President Heindel, oc-
cupied the chair during the meeting.
After some suggestive remarks by
A. L. Evers, the topic, "What is Con-
version ard How Are We. COnverted?''
which had been assigned to Rev. S. E.
Belts was, in his absence, ably dis
cgssed by Rev. B. F. Hills, who was
followed on the same topic by Rev.
Halbert, Messrs. Gibson, Meserve,
Evers and Mcconnell.
Following this came an adjournment
to the Farnham block, where the ladies
of Carlton and vicinity had prepared
an elegant and substantial repast to
which their guests did ample justice.
Upon reassembling, }. W. Gibson
conducted an interesting praise service,
after which s. NJ. Marlatt welcomed
the association in an able speech, re-
sponded to by Thomas Mcconnell.
Geo. Kirk being absent, G. G. Seidel
discussed the obligations of church
members in regard to regular attend
ance on Sunday school. He was fol-
lowed by Messrs. Marlatt, Gibson, Me-
serve, Halbert and Hill, the prevailing
sentiment being that the church men,
ber's place is in the Sunday school.
Following this came a ringing ad-
dress by Rev. Halbert on the duty of
Sunday schools toward prohibition.
He advocated the organization of pro-
hibition societies in every school, the |
pledging of the children to abstain /
from intOxicants and tobacco. and |
thought the cause of prohibition would
be strengthened if girls could be
pledged to not marry man who drinks.
He also censured the Sunday schoolfor
its lack of systematic teaching on the
subject of prohibition. The subject
was further discussed by A. Shriver,
Ms. Baxter, A. Evers, Rev. Hill and
others.
Owing te the l2teness of the hour,
the remainder of the program was
omitted, and after t-ansacting some
miscellaneous business, she association
adjourned to meet at Sunnyside u. &.
church on the last Wednesday in May.

Ere D.nartment Election

The fire department of the city met
last evening for the annual election OF
department officers. There was good
attendance and the boys seemed all en-.
thusiastic for the departments success.
The following officers were chosen:
Chief, Geo. Schurer; asst chief, Ed.
Yeaden; president, J. w. Monroe: vice
president, Thos. Willoughby; secretary,
G. d. Kiefer; treasurer. Louis Lipps:
delegates to volunteer fremen's asso-
citation, Frank VanDoren and ]. J..
Bradfeld; alternates, J. W. Monroe,
Geo Lloyd.
The secretary was instructed to re-
port the result of the election to the
city council for confirmation.
The department is in good shape and
although there have been few calls for
its appearance in order to subdue flames
the boys have kept up their discipline
and win be ready whenever a FIRE
breaks out. There are few cities in
Kansas whose volunteer fire depart
ment equals that OF Abilene and the
city should encourage its fremen in
every way possible.

HE DESPISES "INJISS."
Gen. Sherman's Views on the Trouble
Among the Redskins.

New YORK, December S.-That griz-
zled old warrior, William TecumSeh
Sherman, has very pronounced views
upon Indians generally, and particular
ly upon the present excitement among
the tribes.
Gen. Sherman was found among his
pictures and books in his den in the
basement of his house on Sevcnty-trst
street. and he talked about Indians with
4 terSeneSS that would do credit to the
most taciturn chief among them. He
calls them "lnjinS, with an accent Of
mingled deteStation and contempt. He
settled the problem thus: "InjinS must
either work or starve. They never have
worked: they won't work now, and they
never will work"
But, ventured the reporter. should
not the Government supply them with
enough to keep them from StarvatiOn?'
"Why should the Government support
96O, 600 able-bodied pauperS?" returned
the old war horse with snort. NO
government that the world has ever
seen has done such thing. Who
started this story about Messiah?
Iuiins don't look for the coming of one
Messiah. They look for the coming OF
a million MeSSiahS. Each buffalo is a
Messiah to them. They look for the
return of the buffaloeS. Then they can
eat without working. But the buffa-
loeS don't return. They have all been
killed of.
''Do you think there will be an Indian
war this win nJer?N
Nonsense, calculated the General.
YOU'D have TO change the whole face
of nature before an Injun would go on
the warpath in December.
But. General, it is stated that $4,000
troops have been massed around Pine
Ridge Agency
That's mere nonsense. don't be-
/ lieve there are 1000 troops there. An
other thing-why DO intelligent men
and intelligent newspapers speak, in
this connection, of localities that are, in
fact, hundreds, even thousands of miles
away from each other, as If they were
within stones throw of each other?
Is it 10 add to the scare? II man
raises whoOp. say in Georgia, is there
any reason for YOU to hide in cellar
in New York;"
do YOU expect an Indian uprising in
the spring?"
Uprising? Therell be a downriSing.
II the Iniins rise up they'll be thraShed.
They're in good hands"
What do you think OF Secretary
Proctor's plan TO raise the army to 90
600 men and to enlist two regiments Of
IndianS?"
after ALL" answered the General,
''these things are not my business now.
They do not concern me. | care nothing
abont them. The Iniins, as said, are
in very good hands when in the hands
Of Gen Miles and the men on the entire
| frontier"
/ Then the leader of the march To the
sea went back To his book Sublimely in
different 90 all the InjinS" this side of
the happy hunting grounds.
