KANSAS CHURCHES.

Troy Chief: The foundations OF the
Baptist and South Methodist churches
are completed and ready for the frame
work
The special meetings at the Christian
church of Topeka, conducted by Evan
gelists Boyer and Brown, are attracting
large audiences.
Atchlson-The Kansas Churchman,
the organ of the Episcopal church in
Kansas, has been removed from Salina
to Atchison. Rev. F. K Brooke, of
Atchison, will edit the publication in
the future.
Rev. E. P. Martin, a noted evangelist
from the east is conducting a series of
revival meetings at the First Presby-
terrain church in Leavenworth. The
meetings are largely attended and they
are proving very successful in securing
converts.
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon. of the Cen
trial Congregational church of Topeka,
is continuing his most interesting and
novel evening service. His skill as a
writer enables him to interest his hear
ers SO thoroughly that not a movement
or sound could be heard except the
clear voice of the reader. Rev. Sheldon
has written an interesting story. beau
tiful, enhancing, and with a lesson in
every sentence, and his departure from
the conventional church services so long
in vogue is appreciated by his congre-
CATION. He will read the last chapter
of his story next Sabbath evening.

The Mines OF Kansas.

State Mine Inspector Stewart reports
increased activity IN the mines of south
eastern Kansas About two-thirds of
the coal mined IN the state Is taken
from the mines of Cherokee and Craw-
ford counties. Many new mines are
being opened with greater or less de-
gree of success.
Cherokee county has grown to be a
great lead and zinc producing region.
The product of the lead and zinc mines
last year amounted to over S6OO,OOO-
almost as much as the product of the
coal mines. All the zinc is smelted in
the state, large smelters being estab-
lished at Weir City, Pittsburg and
Scammon- A new smelter is being built
at Galena which will be the largest in
the county. The lead and zinc indus
try has reached its present development
only in recent years. The greater num-
Der of the mines have been opened in
che last six years and southeastern
Kansas and southwestern Missouri
make up the greatest zinc producing
region in the world. and great deal OF
zinc is shipped direct from our smeIters
to England.
1--WE have over 5000 miners in Cher
okee and Crawford counties, who receive
an average of about 1928 a day above
their mine expenses, including tools,
oil, etc. I can state authoritatively
that about two-thirds of the miners in
Seammon own their own houses. and
the proportion at Pittsburg and Weir
City is about the same. So I suppose
We should say the people who work our
mines are 10 good condition"

Care of an InVaIid's Bed.

The care Of an invalid's bed is ap-
parently a very simple affair. But
every invalid knows that few except
professional nurses understand the
art OF changing the sheets in such a
manner as to relieve rather than
weary the patient. An exchange
gives these directions, which are at
once simple and practical: After
placing your invalid on one side of
the bed, begin at the opposite side
and roll the sheet its entire length in
a tight, straight roll, until it reaches
the side of the patient. The clean
sheet, which should be aired and
warmed, should now be put on and
carefully turned under the mattress,
the other half being also in a long
tight roll.
at is easy to pass these two soft
rolls under the patients body by tax
ing first the top and then the bottom.
The work should be done very slowly
and without nervousness, else the
patient will be weary. The old sheet,
in its rolled form, IS now slipped out
OF the bed, and the fresh one unrolled
and tucked in smooth and straight.
1t is good plan TO secure it in place
with safety pins, which prevent an
nOying wrinkles. The upper sheet is
put on in the same way except, OF
course, 1t does not require the same
position And the patient has a nice,
fresh bed, and has not become ex-
hansted 10 the ehange. New York

Taken in time, they preoe'st trouble.
In any case, they cure it.
And they cure it easily; they're

relieved and permanently cured.
They're purely vegetable, per-

the easiest to take but besides
that, they're the cheapest pill you
can buy, for they're guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned. You pay only for the

Santa Fe Monitor: Joshua Bitner
reports 1900 bushels of wheat and $50
bushels of oats and barley for his crop
this year. He has $50 acres in wheat
and rye this fall, which looks fine and
promises a good yield.
Wyandotte Sun: A. Reyes is put

bushels, more or less.
Hazleton Express: F. Kimberllng,
an intelligent colored man, seven miles
northwest of town, raised sixty nine
acres of wheat this year, which yielded
1900 bushels, nearly twenty bushels
per acre. Mr.. K. says he did not pas
lure his wheat and he is satisfied that
the dry weather. in May damaged it to
a greater extent than if it had been
kept back by pasturage. He put IN
120 acres of wheat this fall.
Cedar Vale Star: A peck of potatoes,
seventeen in number, from a crop of
3O5 bushels that made a yield of IT'S
bushels per acre and were raised in this
county, may be seen at this office.
They were raised by N. Randall, were
planted ''ln the moon the first of April,
were not mulched, but were well Guilt
waited. They are California russets and
are very large and fine. Fifty cents a
bushel Is offered for them, which would
make the value Of the crop $3.50 per
acre. Potato raising can be made to
pay, even in southern Kansas.
Dighton Journal: One of the largest
wheat growing districts in the county
is located about four miles northwest of
Dighton. We have made inquiry as to

Fnller. 2,100; Fosdick. $500; Goforth,
400; Sheets. 400; Hahn. 1900. Total,
13.400 bushels. There is another neigh
borhood south of town a few miles
which makes a very fair showing, as
follows: Freas, 1900; Crawford, 1900;
McWhirter, 2,400; Owens, 5000; Erick-
son, 1,5OO; Bates. 1,500; Total, 12,O5O

STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News of State
Interest.
WnI Enforee the LaM.

VIII Enforce the LdW-
State Commissioner Mcbride a few
days ago sent out a circular letter to all
insurance companies licensed to do bus
mess in Kansas, directing their atten-
ton to the fact that the law was being
violated extensively by the agents of
the companies in Kansas City, Mo, who
persisted in writing policies on Kansas
risks. While there is no way by which
the law can reach unlicensed companies
that do business in Kansas through
S1issouri agents, licensed companies
who permit it may have their licenses
revoked.
The first batch of replies to these
circular letters have been received by
the commissioner. The companies whose
agents are known to be violating the
law disclaim all knowledge of it almost
without exception. The insurance COM
missioner reminds the companies that
the fact that an agent is a resident in
Kansas and transacts his insurance
business in another state does not quail
ify him to be licensed. The law pro-
vides that if any fire insurance agent
authorized to transact business in Kan
sas has permitted any agent of other
states to procure or issue policies on
property in the state of Kansas, the
superintendent shall Immediately inves-
tigate the business done by such COM
pany, and if the company has violated
the law the superintendent of insurance
shall revoke the authority of the COM
pany and refuse to re-license it for one
year.
Secretary Mcbride says it is his in
tention to enforce this provision in the
insurance law to the letter; and that if
any company which he has notified to
obey the law violates it he will promptly
revoke the license of the offender.
