protest is as follows:
Request Respectful Consideration.
We, the undersigned, alumni of the Union
7heological seminary, of New York, desire TO
axpress 20 our honored professor and friend,
Dr. Charles A. Briggs, our deep regard and
aonfidence. We regret most profoundly that
his inaugural address, upon assuming the du-
sies Of the chair of biblical theology to which
Aewas transferred, should have proved the
eccasion Of much misconception and appre-
hsnsion, which in turn has given rise 10 mis-
representation and denunclation.
We herewith request in DR.. Briggs behalf
ths fullest and most respectful consideration
with the expectation that he will in time con-
frm our estimate of him as a safe and an
osongeilcal teacher. we regard him as q man
Rnsscssed not only Of exceptional learning, hut
also of rare piety and conservation. Instead
Of bringing reproach upon the Bible, as has
been asserted, he has, we think, a special
power Of imbuing his students with an earnest
love for the inspiring word Of God and with a
eAnprehensive insight into its profoundest
truth, thus training them for a more skillful
sss Of tho Sword Of the spirit"
Avoid Hasty Action.
Hence we earnestly protest, for the sake Of
She peace and the prosperity of the great Pres
byterian church, against any action which
seeks TO undermine the confidence of the
ehurch In DIR. Briggs, or to remove him from
his position OF valued influence.
While we differ among ourselves as to the
acceptance of some of his views over which
the present issue has been raised, we concur
IN the belief that unity and harmony within
khe church, together with an unimpedcd In
auiry after truth and the broadest results of
sensecrnted scholarship, arc of the utmost i'm
partanoe. Hasty and unjust action against
sns SO widely recognized as a leader of thought
Nithin the church would be the precursor of
Aiscord and of detriment TO the whole Presby-
AAa5au nhurch

next meeting.
Caswell thought the light companies
were rather cheeky in asking full pay for
lights when the lights were not all burn
ing
Mayor Carey held there was no way OF
finding out how many of the lights had
been burning in the past, but that this
could be kept track of in the future. The
police had once been instructed TO keep
track of the lights that had not been kept
burning
Buckeridge said that fourteen police
men could not keep track of lights IN a
city six miles square.
The mayor appointed Councilmen
Tucker, Glaze and Martin as the COM
mittee to confere with tie county COM

not cost more than S45. A motion was
made that the city engineer and improve

The city printing was again taken up
and discussed, but by motion the matter
was deferred until the next meeting, and
referred back to the committee.

DIED AWAY FROM HOME.

Rev. J. T. Nessley received telegram
yesterday morning from Spokane Falls,
Wash. bearing the shocking news of the
death by acute pneumonia, of his son
Frank A, at Gokima. Frank left here
only about month ago to look over the
Puget Sound country. He didn't like it
aud his parents received letter only a
few days since announcing that he would
spend his Fourth of July in Wichita. His
death is heavy blow to the heads OF his
parents and family. His brother Ed, who,
on hearing of his Sickness had started to
go to him and had reached Spokane Falls.
Frank A. Nessley was next to the young
est boy of the family and was practically
raised in Wichita. He was in his twenty
first year and the world was bright for
him and life full of promise, but the dread
messenger came to him with his summons
far from home and he resigned his life and
lay down in death in a far off land.

ADDISON'S DISEASE.

Mention was made in the dispatches
yesterday morning of the first case of Adj
d:son's disease to appear on the Pacific
coast. It related that the patients skin
changed color to bronze in the second year
and as black as negro's in the third year.
Doctor Fordyce who attended Mrs. John
Wilkins says she died of Addison disease.
Her skin was as bronze as it could be and
she was subject to long and exhausting
fainting spells. Size had been medicated
to an extremity for liver troubles and the
doctor says the only way he recognized it
was because there happened to be case
of it in the hospital where he was medi-
cal student. The disease is very rare and
was named after the doctor who discov-
cred it. The majority of the patients die
in the second year, and all who pass into
the third year become insane. This was
not true, however, of the California case.
The disease is due to decomposition Of the
outer coat of the kidneys.

II PAID THIS TIME.

Apropos of the inquiry "Does farming
pay" the following incident serves as an
illustration of how some peoplein this coun-
try make success of it,
Last September J. A. Anderson bought
a car load of heifer calves on this market
for 81 90 per head, and shipped them out
to his farm near Furley. He put them on
feed and fed. them through the winter.
Mr. Anderson kept careful account of
the amount of corn fed to them, which
cost S12. 80 per head for the lot, making the
calves stand him Sl650 per head. He sold
the lot to the Dold Packing company this
week for ST. per hundred delivered at
Furley The calves weighed when deliver
ed trife less than $50 pounds each and
Melted Mr.. Anderson 5000 per head clear
profit above the total cost of the calves and
feed. As there were thirty-eight of them
in the bunch this was Il pretty good
winters work of itself.

FINE WHEAT

Yesterday Mr.. George Dadisman sent to
this Office sample of his growing wheat
which, he says, fairly represents his crop
of go acres. 1t stands full three feet high,
is about all headed out and is quite uni
form in development. Mr. Dadisman has
resided in Sedgwick county twenty years
and has raised some splendid crops, but
declares that his present crop is decidedly
the best he has ever seen. it seems TO be
as near per- feet as it could be-no flies. or
bugs, or other noxious impediments. The
crop is not suffering for rain, though
good shower would be beneficial, Mr..
Dadismap's farm lies south of the city
about eight miles distant, and is one of the
best and best kept in the country.
