appears to have overtaken the hogs Of
this locality. They will be feeding an6

number have died in this manner.
Springfield Republican: The only
difficulty that menaces the farmer al
the present time is how to harvest his
immense wheat crop. Nearly all have
from one to two hundred acres, and
help is very scarce in this section OF the
state.
Riley letter: s. Lam, the cattle
king of this neighborhood, unloaded
700 head of Wyoming range steers from
a special train of twenty-five cars, Fri.
dav, and drove them to his ranch, four
miles east of town. which contains
about 1,400 acres, which is wa.ered
by the best of limestone spring water.

fed the recent complaint from Russell
county regarding the wheat pest, which
has alarmed many of the farmers of that
section, grows altogether out of shift
less farming. He said he found mary
fields which had turned yellow and
which were infested by the strange
green bug, but in every case these
fields had been poorly cultivated.
Kansas City Gazette: The 10000
square miles which embrace the eastern
half of Kansas is capable of supporting
from its agricultural resources more
people than any state east of the Mis-
souri, river, and its crop failures are an
exception rather than a rule. As a
fruit and stock-raising country it has
no equal upon the Atlantic slope. 1t is
doubtful If it can be excelled in anv
part Of the world. This country once
clear of debt, fairly capitalized, and in
the hands of energetic farmers, will soon
become very wealthy.
Mcpherson Republican: There ara
all kinds of speculation as to the turn
ing yellow of some fields of wheat.
Some claim it is the very early sown
and became too rank in the fall; that as
rule it is In stalk fields where it could
not be pastured. Others say it is chinch
bugs; Others that it is owing to volun-
teer wheat, and still others that it is
dry weather. From the many conflict
ing reports it seems as though the most
interested have not made the examina.
tion they should. A critical and search
ing examination should be made at once
and the truth OF the matter ascertained.

The Minister'S Alliance,

Topeka JOuIild
The Topeka ministerial union has de-
cided not to include in its membership
ministers of the Unitarian church.
This question was raised few weeks
ago when the constitution OF the union
was given to committee for revision.
Some of the members objected to
that part OF the constitution which de-
clares that the members ''shall accept in
good faith the fundamental teachings
of the scriptures as embodied in the
Apostles Creed"
This occasioned considerable debate.
as it shuts out the Unitarian ministers.
The question has been discussed in
several meetings, but it was decided by
ballot that that clause shall remain in
the constitution.

The building has cost about $4,000

place but three years, but they are in a
most fourishing condition.
Kansas City Gazette: The Metro
politan Baptist church of this city, Rev.
Wilton r. Boone, pastor, entered their
new edifice yesterday, corner of Wash

and cosy, causing the congregation to
feel very happy. Good sermons we're
preached to large and appreciative con-
gregations by Revs. Boone, Davis and
Booth. The collection for the day
amounted to $143, and everybody
seems to rejoice over the wonderful sue

Elder W. P. Brown, of Harvey coun.

branch of the Mormon church, and is
busily engaged IN disposing of his real

purpose of going to Jerusalem, where
he anticipates the second coming of
Christ and hopes to witness the event.
Elder Brown has come to the conclusion
after considerable deliberation and med
itation upon the prophecies Of the Book
of Mormon. and maintains that the He'd
rickites and the Latter Day Saints have
departed from the original faith as
lodged with Robert Whitmer, who was
one of the witnesses and scribes of
Prophet Joseph Smith. He believes
the second coming is nearer at hand
and will make due haste to get to Jeru-
