Lawrence.-The case of the state Of
Kansas Va. w. F. Mccarthy on the
charge Of uttering forged deed to E.
B. Hunter was tried in the district
court to-day. The land supposed to be
conveyed was located in Smith county,
the owner of which, according to Nc
Carthy, was a man by the name Of
Bradley. The ownership was shown BY
an abstract Of title presented BY Nc
Carthy. The deed was drawn up in
Ottawa by Mccarthy, who claimed that
his name was Bradley, and signed the
instrument, the name Of the grantee be-
ing left out. He then brought the deed
to Lawrence and represented himself to
be the agent of Bradley for the sale of
the land. He finally made trade with
E. B. Hunter. the consideration Of
which was 800 acres of land in Texas,
81 in money, and an old watch. The
deed was then taken to L. s. Steele and
the name of E. B. Hunter inserted as
grantee. Hunter afterward found the
title to be void and entered complaint
against Mccarthy as stated. The case
was given to the jury about o'clock,
which, after being out about thirty
minutes, returned verdict Of guilty.

STOCK AND FARM.

Neosbo Falls Post: The farmers are
doing more improving at present than
they have done before for several
years.
Emporia Republican: Two hundred
and ninety-three cars Of cattle we're
moved over this division Of the Santa
Fe in one day.
Burlington Nonpareil: A good many
farmers are digging wells for stock
water, and from present indications We
may have to 60 into winter quarters
without rain.
Anthony Journal: A gentleman who
has Just threshed and sold his wheat
gives the following figures, which show
what can be done on eighty acres. His
wheat measured 1900 bushels, sold at
10 cents, amounting to S1,26O. The
total expense of raising, threshing and
delivery on board the cars was $40,
leaving clear profit Of 1920.
Wellington Mail: M. D. Covell sus-
tanned severe loss in the death OF his
famous Percheron stallion, BucentaIr.
The animal died of spasmodic collie and
was sick but q short time. He cost Mr..
Covell $4,000 two years ago and was
purchased at the Durham stock farm at
Wayne, Illinois. Mr.. Covell is singu-
larly unfortunate with his fine horses,
Bucentaur being the second one he has
lost within two years. He is not dis
couraged, however, and will supply his
stables with another animal equally as
good.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Fort ScOtt.-The Catholic church
and parsonage at Fulton, Bourbon
county, ten miles north of here, burned
to the ground at o'clock ia the MORN
ing. The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated by the explosion Of lamp that
was left burning. There was $1,000 in
surance on the buildings. The church
edifice was a very creditable one, and a
large congregation worshipped there.
The building of the Western univer-
sity at Qulndaro Is now an assured fact,
the contract for one wing having been
let and work will commence at once.
The wing which will be constructed first
will cost not less than $4,000, and the
entire structure as now planned and de-
signed, will cost fully $4,000. The 121
acres of ground will be beautified and
ornamented. 1t will be maintained
solely for the education Of young COL
ored men and women, and will be the
largest of the four schools under the
control of the African Methodist church.
Funds sufficient to carry the school on
are all pledged, coming from what is
known as the ''dollar fund.-" During
the year each member of the church is
supposed to give 81 for the education
of the race. There are over 100000
members, and the collections each year
are abundant to sustain all schools.
Topeka.--The foundation walls of
the new Christian church, at 622 Tope-
ka avenue, are going up rapidly. The
edifce, when completed, will be hand
some and commodious house of wor-
ship. The outside walls will be built Of
white stone, like most Of the new
churches in the city, and two handsome
spires will adorn the structure. The
west wall Of the present building, which
was erected about five years ago will be
torn out and the building incorporated
into the new church. The auditorium
will include the first floor of both the
old and new buildings, and will be fin
ished in an exquisite style and fur
nished with the latest improved church
pews and new pipe organ. The base
ment will be divided into lecture rooms
and devoted to meetings of the church
societies and the Sunday school. The
estimated cost of the new building, fin
ished and furnished, is about $50, 900.
From Kansas City, Kan: The Ar

we're held at the church at 2:3O D. m,
