A census bulletin. which has just been is
sued by the census bureau, shows that Kan
sas has greater variety of religious socle-
ties than any other western state Accord
ing to this bulletin some very queer denom-
nations have obtained foothold IN Kan
sas For instance, the Temple society, some
times known as Friends of Jerusalem, has
church in Kansas. 1t was organized IN
Germany and there are two societies III
this country-one in New York, and the
other at Gypsum, Saline county, Kan,
that at Gypsum having been transplanted
| from Germany. The temple in Jerusalem
| is regarded as the chief organization and
they believe Jerusalem is to be "the
mother and queen of the nations in the
approaching Messianic kingdom on earth. u
Kansas has changed. Time-honored
customs have been relegated; traditions
hoary with age fractured and beliefs, torn
limb from limb in revolving disrespect.
No story has been left undisputed; no deed
undiscussed. Since the early dawn OF
Kansas natal labors. there has been moth
| ing like it.
Nothing escapes this iconoclasm.
Ingalls, majestic omnipotence; legends
of mastadonic majorities, $1,000 strong;
| the existence of state pride have each
ratified down from their pediments under
| the destructive stroke of irreyerent hands.
But this was not expected. For years,
| the Kansan has been told of the close
affinity between Sol Miller and the ground
! hog.
Yes, he has been told that Sol Miller had
the greatest confidence in the grounding
and his prophetic instinct.
In fact, it has been related, time and
time again, that grounding day is a gen
eral holiday in the town Of Troy and red
letter day in partic ular in the office of the
Troy Chief, when work is laid aside and
Sol Miller and his inky devil scan the sky
for cloudlets all day long.
This, too, is shattered.
An unthinking galoot caught ground
hog, the other day, and Gagged it. Aud then
in the wickedness of his heart, brought
Sol Miller up to the cage and asked hin
what kind of an animal he was. And this
this was the answer.
why that-that is a musk-rat."
