1.-THE annual conference of the NJ.
E. Church, South, which will meet in
Sedalia next September will be pre-
sided over by Biahop Hargrove, said
the Rev. A. r. Farris, Of this city,
yesterday. ''The delegation Of minis.
tes and laymen will number not lea
than 800, and then there will be .
large attendance of visitors. We
shalt soon begin making active prepa-
rations for the conference and hope
to make it one of the most pleasant
and interesting meetings Of the kind
ever held in the state"
Says . certain Sedalia physician to
the Gossiper yesterday: Il think it
injurious for . doctor to dabble in
politics, litetature or anything else
outside of bis profession. Somehow
it seems that the general public ex-
pect that . physician should devote
his entire time and attention to medi.
cine. I have noticed particularly
that when the average doctor begins
to buzz around in politics or to seek
after success in the literary field, bis
practice goes down and in mays cases
he turns up an all round failure"
Says cigarette smoker: "People
who object to cigarettes are contin-
ually talking about the peculiarly
disagreeable odor of the burning
paper. This is sheer nonsense. A
man could smoke cigarettes made en-
tirely OF rice paper and there would
be no odor at all. The difference be.
tween the odor of . cigarette and that
of a cigar lies not in the paper, but
in the tobacco. A good cigar tobacco
cannot be used for making cigarettes,
as it is of an entirely different kind,
and is not prepared in the same man
ner. The difference in the smell is
generally placed to the credit Of the
unotIending paper, which has no odor
at all"
A wheat crop of SIS million bushels
this year in the state of Kansas, and
yet the Kansas wheat raisers are COM
planning! The work of harvesting is
going on and the harvesters are groan.
ing! They are gathering in from
twenty to twenty-seven bushels to the
acre, while lamenting that they can
not make a living! Then besides
their wheat crop, they have corn and
potatoes and vegetables and fruits,
besides hay, and yet they are not sat
is6ed. There are swarms of horses
and COWS and sheep and swine in the
state there are hens and ducks and
turkeys and geese in al the counties,
and yet their owners are full Of dis
content. 1t is hard to say what can
be done to comfort and conciliate the
ever.repining denizens Of the sun
flower state.
Cleanliness, not only next godli-
ness, is part Of GOODNESS. So to take q
plunge bath in the morning, letting
the water be tepid, and afterwards
giving yourselfa cool shower. Omit
starch from your clothes as far as
possible. Eat . light breakfast.
Greasy food, or q great quantity of
food, taken in the morning, will most
certainly heat your stomach for the
entire day. A woman who stays in
the city and is always cool, gives this
as her bill of fare A cup of coffee
in the morning with bread and butter
Q luncheon of cold beef and baked
potato, With lemonade or iced tea !;
and a dinner after sunset consisting
of little soup, bit of meat and one
hot vegetable, q cool green salad, a
cold desert and 9 small all cug Of coffee;
better preventive against heat than
good temper, proper food, and even.
ness of disposition with it.
This morning Mayor E. w. Stew.
