KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June "a number of
business men, citizens of Kansas City, met
yesterday afternoon as a vigilance COM
mittee and decided that Schweinfurth. who
is visiting and holding meetings here, was
blasphemous impostor. 1t was also de-
cided that he should be made to leave the
city or suffer the consequences. A COM
mitttee of twelve on execution of the latter
descision was appointed. This committee
met, organized and sent the following notice
TO Schweinfurth BY messenger last mid
night:
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June /, 1891.
George G. Schweinfurth, GA East Fourteenth
Street. Kansas City:
At Il meeting held to-day by committee
Of a number of citizens, it was resolved
that you are an imposter among the good
people in this community, and have
been detriment to such an
extent that the means adopted as shown
hereafter have become necessary to protect
some of your unfortunate weak-minded
victims against being openly led to devia-
lions from the true path of good morals and
Christianity by your pretended teach
ings. The people composing this
committee are thorough Kansas
Cityites and will not tolerate
this imposition any longer, but will readily
adopt the necessary means TO carry out this
we udNS ECSOlNtu 1uI IIIt
good of our community YOU are to leave
this city within twentyfour hours, and
unless you so comply you must abide
the consequences. We want an answer
by the bearer of this letter, and if the same
is not given your Noncompliance will be ac-
cepted, and you may expect an early visit
from the committee
Menu-First service-Tar and feathers.
Schw einfurth declined to send reply to
the committee by the messenger. The COM
mittee had a further meeting this after
noon, but it is not known what ac-
ton, if any, was decided upon.
The alleged Christ instead of miraculously
setting at naught the Vaccinations
Of the unappreciative Kansas cityans
appealed to the worldly powers that be.
He dispatched ian angelo to his honor,

worldly protection to the redeemer from
Rockford. He detailed two policemen to
guard the house where the pretender tar

1t is not generally known that in
this vast country 8: the South wears the
breeches.' But SO it is. The largest
manufactory of trousers, as the British
call the neither integuments, but Ameri-
cans generally call them pants or pan
falcons, is in the South-the largest, it
is said, in all the world. And where
do you suppose it is located? Ofcourse,
in New York, Philadelphia or Chicago.
But of course not. 1t is in North
Carolina, and at Charlotte. Mr.. f.
d. Latta is the owner. One of our
Southern trade journals says that this
enterprising man {" travels six statesmen,
and sells his goods from New York to
Texas, but the wholesale clothing men
of New York take the largest portion
of the product Of his factory. The
factory furnishes employment to large
number of women, and is a blessing
to many families.'' North Carolina
ought to have other big things. For
instance, huge furniture factory right
up where the finest woods grow. There
might be over dozen Of these and
not overstock the market.
The South is selling to the North
It's cheaper iron, its cotton and wool
fabrics, its saw mills and steel wagon
axles, and its fresh vegetables and
other products. Il is high time to
reverse the whole thing, and to stop
sendin. all the money that can be
made to buy Northern products.
Our people are yet in slavery. They
get most Of their fruits and canned
goods-and indeed nearly all house
hold articles-lrom the North. All
the year round they eat Northern
canned vegetables when they have a
climate that allows them to work out
doors eleven months in the year. Even
North Carolina, the native home of
the grape, is dependent upon the North
mainly for this delicious fruit. AS to
pears, you can never find on sale a
North Carolina pear while as a fact
the finest pears we ever tasted were
grown in this State In half the Coun-
ties the pear can be produced in utmost
perfection.

ARTIFICIAL ICE.

Artificial ice is one of the greatest
blessings that the progress of science in
late years has given to the South.
That which few years ago was a
luxury which only the well-to- do could
enjoy, is now becoming one of the
common necessities of life for all
classes. Ice-making is an industry
that is proving of the greatest value to
the whole South, and the widest exten-
sion of this business should be enCour-
aged, as an abundance Of good, cheap
ice adds to the comfort and healthful-
ness of the people, and makes it posi-
Bile, even in small towns, to keep fresh
meats and vegetables of all kinds, the
importance of which can only be ap-
preciated by those who have been de-
prived of them. While ice factories
are being established very rapidly in
the South, there is still room for an
almost indefinite expansion OF the
business, and this could be materially
helped by policy on the part of ice
makers of selling at a very low cost,
and thus vastly increasing the amount
consumed. In view Of the importance
of this subject, the Manufacturers
Record, of Baltimore, begins in its last
issue series of articles by an expert
on the history OF ice-making and re-
frigeration in general, which will cover
every phase OF the industry, such as
the importance of developing this
business its value to the South; some
very striking comparisons ofthe health
fulness of natural and of artificial ice /;
various methods now in use for ice
making, &c. People interested at
present or prospectively in ice making
will find these articles of much value.
To encourage ice making in the South
is to encourage that which will add TO
the comfort and healthfulness Of the
people.

increase her school funds, and establish

increase her school funds, and establish
a bureau Of immi grafton, and in a
very few years discontinue taxation
except for county and municipal pur
poses. Borrowers from the State
would get value received in the loan
as low interest would thus take the
place of taxpayers. Kansas could lend
her citizens at 5, 4 or 5 per cent. and
then they could relieve the present
mortgage debt of $4,000, 900, due
mainly to the East, and at the same
time put interest money enough in the
State treasury to relieve them from
taxation. He contends that as all the
money that can be borrowed is in the
Eastern States, it is practically useless
to the South or West. Under the sys-
tenn he advocates the money and secu-
rity are in the same State-are neigh
bors and will exchange-and interest
will 60 to the benefit of both lender
and borrower and all the people in
the State; whereas, now the interest
paid, as rule, goes to the East. The
interest now paid per annum by the
whole people goes to enrich those who
are already too rich for the safety of
the Republic, and that interest would
be distributed among the whole people
taken by States.
He contends that the present bank
ing system is monopoly, because it
is based on but one class of securities
Government bonds; second, that
it is monarchical, being fashioned on
the plan of the Bank of England dur
ing the first century of its existence;
and, third, that our banking system is
not based on money or coin, but paper
credit. The whole system is based on
the Governments credit, whereas, his
proposed system would rest on coin in
the treasury sufficient to meet all de-
mands of foreign commerce and do
mestic trade.
Norwood's S substitute for the Alliance
Sub Treasury plan avoids Federal ac-
ton. Each State lends to farmers on
land and on its own special products
at low interest. Thus he says he estab-
fishes equality tor all and shows favor
itism to none. He contends that his
plan obviates every objection hitherto
made to the Alliance Sub-Treasury
plan, and gives farmers sure relief, as
the allotment of currency he proposes
not only equalizes it if lent by States
as the States volume of currency, but
thus distributed will remain permanent
in each State, because the State being
the lender and the principal being
lent to its citizens it must return to
the State with interest as the principal
falls due.

A WAR INCIDENT.

Danger Does Not Deaden the Sense of
IA Humor. e.
War has its humors as well as it's hor-
rors, and the sense of humor in the in
dividual will assert itself if it is in the
man, no difference what the environ
ment may be. There was soldier in
Company B of the Fourth Iowa Infan-
try, whose sense of humor was so
strongly developed that the presence of
danger only seemed to evoke it. His
name was Pomeroy, but the regiment
knew him as Pom" Every soldier
who had passed a night with him on
outpost duty WAS ever after his admir-.
ing friend. He had been a clown or
variety actor before the war, and could
sing all the dialect songs and tell all
the broken English stories of the age.
He could initiate a hand-organ and in
stantly assemble an audience in any
regiment Of the division. He was
known as a jolly fellow all along the
line, and was hailed with delight when
ever he approached group of fellow
soldiers. To fighting he was not par
tial, and his ability as an actor enabled
him to evade several of the sanguinary
conflicts in which the regiment was en-
gagged
He was nicely caught, however, at
Cherokee Station, while the regiment
was moving from Memphis to Chatta-
nooga 1t was Sunday morning in
camp. Tents had been pitched for a
rest on that day, and inside a number
of Company B boys were playing poker,
"Pom" among the rest of them. Firing
was heard in the woods not far from
camp, but it excited no comment, other
than to elicit the remark from one of
the players that ut is only the cavalry
piclxcts discharging their pieces" Pres
emily bullets came through the tents
and simultaneously the cry of Fall inl
fall in!" was quickly repeated outside.
Every fellow grabbed his musket and
bounded out The line was quickly
formed and advanced to the woods,
which were found to be full Of Roddy'a
confederate raiders, dismounted. The
work was hot for few minutes and a
rood many men were killed and wound.

A kiND-HEARTED FOE.
Tho Humane Act OF a Confederate Soldier
hMt kt In Battle.

Tho Humane Act of a Confederate Soldier
AMt ~ in Battle.
During the late war for the Union at
the battle of Munfordsville, KY, the
Union forces were defeated and many
killed and wounded. Among the latter
was an Indiana soldier belonging to
the s9th Indiana regiment, Wilder's
brigade. AS this soldier was lying in a
tent the 9th Mississippi regiment pass
ed by and the soldier called for some
one to give him water. John w.
Haines, of Co. X, 9th Mississippi, re-
spopded to the call and gave the
wounded soldier water out of his own
canseen. Then he took two canteens
and filed them with water and left
them by the side of the Union soldier
who inquired of Haines his name, COM
pany and regiment. He said, that will
make no difference as we may never
meet again. But the wounded Indianian
insisted that he should give him his adj
dress for he desired to know who
had done him this kindness and
perhaps saved his life. Haines gave
him his name, company and regiment
and where he resided and left him.
| Time rolled on and the Indiana soldier
got we'll and returned to his regiment
In n short time after his return his regi-
ment was sent to Hernandez, Miss, and
got there just in time to save the home
of John w. Haines from being burned
and his family turned out in the street.
He told the commanding officer how
| Uncle John Haines had got him water
and cared for him at the battle of Mum
fordsville, and a guard was placed at
Haines' home and his property saved.
He did not tell Haines his name and
therefore he is at loss to find him.
John w. Haines now lives at Vlcks.
burg, Miss, and is very desirous to find
this Indiana soldier. If this article
should come to his observation he will
do Mr.. Haines great favor by letting
him know his whereabouts by address
ing him at Vicksburg, Miss.-Americar
