WOMEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Mrs. Lewis Hanback, and Mrs. Rob-
ert Mitchell, lady commissioners Of
the worlds fair, are canvassing the
state organizing a wonan's Columbi-
all club at each county seat, and ask
ing cooperation in their efforts TO
make grand showing of the indus
tries of the women of Kansas at the
coming exposition. They visited Bax-
ter and held all informal meeting at
the Springs hotel Saturday last, to in
vite and urge our ladies TO mite and
work with the club organized by them
at Columbus. Alltpfesent expressed
much interest and readiness TO lend
assistance. Every industry carried on
wholly or in part by women, will be
represented at the fair. Specimens of
her work in every department will be
placed on exhibition. In this line the
woman's building is not for COMPETE
ton, but there is one large hall where
all the beautiful achievements Of wo-
mans hand, heart and brain are to be
shown and no premium is to be given.
In all the government buildings wo-
men can enter for competition. Not
through any sentiment can they ex-
pect any reward, but through merit
alone. In the live stock department,
in agriculture, manufactures, liberal
arts, horticulture, Horticulture, ma
chinery-in every department, women
are invited to come and side by side
with their brothers ask for recognition
of their ability in sll avocations of life,
by receiving either medal or parch-
meMt certificate. Again in onr state
building are they TO receive proper at
tention by the grandest display Of the
industries of woman that ia possible
TO be made, not for any premium, but
for all the world 10 see that Kansas
women are intelligent, brave aud in
dustrious. The women are. expected
to furnish three rooms in the state
building, two reception rooms and a
library room, and il is desired that the
wood and all material used in such be
product of the state and the carving
upholstering and work generally be
dune as far as possible by women.

mules, and as large hogs, and as fat
chickens, and as fine thoroughbred set
ters and pointers as there are produc-
ed in any part of the world, but our
cows are about as scrubby as the
pleuro. pneumonia officials will permit
to pass the lines.
So long as we breed for "canners"
our dairy business will not be sue
cess. So long as we are content with
!strippers" and knotty headed Arkan-
sas Jerseys our incomes will not
amount to much, but when that most
important department of agriculture,
the dairy interest, is properly develop
ed and given one half the attention
that is now paid TO cereals then our
farmers will begin to make better
showing.
Get good stock 10 start with, take
good care of them, bring your milk
to the factory and yon can soon make
figures to compare with those at the
head of this item. The dairy business
is the safest, surest and most availa bic
for the farmers Of Cherokee county.

THE DAIRY.

The Holstein- Fricsian COW, Pauline
Paul, made 1853 pounds 1914 ounces
of butter in one year. This lie the
largest yield on record. A Jersey COW,
Bisson's Belle, finished recently one
year with l,O2S pounds 1875 ounces to
her credit. This is the largest years
record yet made by Jersey. Belle lie
an imported COW.
Suppose our farmers who arc MAX
ing light of the dairy business figure
up the profits on these two cows.
Then let them figure the profit on last
years corn crop. Thirty COWS like
the above would give mau an in
come Of $1,000 per aunum: Otcourse
we do not have such cows as these in
Cherokee county. Why nOt9 Because
we never tried TO get them. We hsTe
as big horses aud as long legged

WHAT DOES IT MEAN:

The county commissioners have
listened to petition TO build bridge
across Spring river just north of Ga
lena; but strange 10 say have located
Il above the mouth of Turkey creek
instead of below it. AT the latter
place parties living north of the river
could go 10 Joplin or Galena, but as IL
is now located it opens road to Jop-
lima rival town outside the state and
leaves it impossible 10 reach Galena,
town within the borders of the
county that pays more taxes then any
other In Cherokee county, without
going several miles out of the way.
just why the commissioners want 10
bnild up joplin instead of Gnlena we
do not Observation-Disclosures Times.
Glass legislation IN the interest of a
Missouri town MS against kansas
town is Just what might be expected
from the class of men now in control.
We think well OF JUplia AMI would he
glad 10 aid in her prosperity, but
Cherokee county taxes should not be
diverted 10 thai purpose.

Many poor colored people have been
induced into making a start for Libe-
ria. Over 300 arc stranded in New
York waiting for transportation. The
only means of getting there is by sail
ing vessels which make two trips a
year and have carrying capacity not
to exceed fifty perions. We believe
our colored friends will fare better in
Oklahoma or the Cherokee strip.

There is no hope of opening the
Cherokee strip at the present session
of congress. The bill has virtually
been laid on the table and cannot be
taken up except by special order.
This will prove great disappointment
to The thousands of settlers who have
made preparations to take their claims
this spring. There was no Doodle to
divide and congress is slow to act
without bOo1lG.

The sensalionalists are trying to
make it appear that this country is
about to engage in war with Eng
land, but there is nothing in the later
dispatches to justify a rupture with
that or any other country. The Eng
fish premier has refused to renew the
modus virenda, but does not oppose
American war ships in Behring sea
and will no doubt come to an agree
ment with our government in a short
time. Russia has declared that she
will make our title good TO the Alaska
fisheries, aud England is not likely to
antagonize Russia and the United
States at the same time.

.OUTGREW HIS BOYH0OD'S S LOVE
She Upbraided Him for Incon-
stancy and He Slapped Her.

H. Ferris, OF North seventh street, near
Wythe avenue, Williamsburg, was arrested
early this morning, charged by Sophia Schnorr,
OF 23 North sixth street, with simple assault.
There Is a story back OF the charge which
gives the case coloring OF romance.
Ferris and Miss Schnorr have known each
other since childnOod, when he used to call
her his little wife and she called him her little
husband. They lived then in the homes they
now occupy, and 1t was agreed between them,
1t is said, that nothing should ever part them.
He is now twenty-five years old and she is
twenty-three.
While she remains faithful to her early
love- he has repudiated the promises OF their
childhood, and Is now engaged to marry
Miss Esther stone, OF Greenpoint- They are
TO be welded next week.
This fact came to the knowledge OF Miss
Scbnorr, and meeting him on the evening OF
May 10, on Broadway, near Wiiloughby
avenue, she upbraided him for his incon-
sistancy, and hot words followed. Miss
SchnOrr claims her alleged recreant lover
then and there slapped her face.
He was taken before Justice Connolly in
the Lee Avenue Police Court this morning.
He pleaded not guilty and the case was ad-
jourped for week.

FLED FROM A LIFE OF SHAME.
Pretty Lera Andrews Says a Mis-
tress Sought Her Ruin.
Dlsbelieved by Her Mother, She
Went Sobbing to the Police.

Lena Andrews, fourteen years old. called at
the Sixteenth Precinct Police Station,in VIII.
iatnsburg at noon to-day and with tears in
her eyes begged to be protected from a
woman living on Scholes street, who, Sine
claimed, was trying to force her TO lead a
life OF shame.
The girl, who Is PRETTY and remarkably
well developed for her age stated that she
was the daughter OF Mrs. Emma Andrews, OF
$40 South Fourth street.
~ went to work for this woman MS n
domestic, and had only been with her two
days when found out what she wanted OF
me-" said Lena
She told me last night that she was going
TO run fast house this summer at Coney
Island, and said that as | was pretty 1 should
go there with her.
"She kept me In the house when l would
not have anything to do with her friends. |
got away from her to-day and went tack to
my mother, who beat me and drove me out
OF the house, because she would not believe
what told her about the woman.
The girl could hardly tell her story for her
sobbing. She was taken In charge by the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Children, and her story will be thor
oughly investigated, AS the officers have
or late received many such complaints
from young girls In Williamsburg. Lena has
given the police the name and address OF the
woman she accuses, and the latter will prob
ably be arrested this afternoon.

Father Dent, acting as his own counsel,
questioned the witness Father DArpino said
that he was present at a religious conclaye
at Little Valley, in June, 1887, when Father
Dent was on trial for criminal libel. He saw
Bishop Ryan, but the latter did not say any
thing derogatory OF Father Dent.
Dent then attempted to show that the wit
ness was an unwilling witness and did not
want to testify.
Asked whether in case he testified against
the pishop he would not be In danger or being
disciplined, Father DArpino hesltated for a
moment and then said he thought he would
be In no danger.
Father Dent then began handling four
large volumes, bound In yelium, concerning
ecclesiastical law, and written In Latin CEN
turtles ago He asked the witness a series OF
questions bearing upon the duties OF Cath
olic priest and upon canonical law.
Two other witnesses were called TO the
stand and then Father Dent called for Arch
bishop Corrigan.
A messenger announced that the Arch
bishop had been In court and had gone out.
messenger was sent to ma him.
Bishop Charles Z. Mcdonnell, OF Brooklyn,
then took the stand. Father Dent asked him
several Hypothetical questions In regard TO
canonical law.
Bishop Mcdonnell replied that he was un-
able to give expert testimony IN canOniCal
law. When priest obtained certgin iunc-
tions, he always retains them, rs far as
human agency Is concerned, but the right to
exercise his authority can be taken away.
"It priest Is suspended by a bishop does
he have an equal footing as tho bishop at
Rome In trying TO get rcinstated" asked
Father Dent.
"it he has as good testimony" responded
the witness.
Objection was made to pursuing this line OF
questioning, and Father Dent said:
~ wish 10 show that by reason OF these
slanters ! am cut on from earning my liv-
Ing"
Not at ALL" said Lawyer Parker. You
can saw wood the same as anybody else"
"CaD he do anything in his pricstly
ONCE, when excommunicated, to make a
living7"
NO" answered the Bishop.
Mr.. Dent, while endeayorlng TO get "yes"
or 'no as an answer to an irrelevant inter
rogation, was told by Judge FartetL that II
was not customary for counsel to CRITICS
their own witnesses.
Mr., Dent SAID that was all, ana the witness
stepped down.
OF Bura'o, was next called by
Father bent and asked TO give 10 the
Jury a conversation Hickey had had with
Bishop Ryan at the latter's house In BufalO
inquired.
Counsel for the defense objected and Mr..
Dent said hc wished to prove malice.
Judge Bartlett sustained the objection aud
Mr.. Hickey was excused.
A recess was then taken.

INGERSOLL AGAINST DIXON.

The AGnost!c Wants Some of the
Pastors Answer Stricken Out.
The suit brought IN the supreme Court by
Col. Robert g. Ingerson to recover $1,000
damages from Rev. A c. Dixon, OF the
Hanson Place Baptist Church, Brooklyn, for
slanuer, was before Judge Lawrence in the
Supreme Court, Chambers, to-day.
The motion before the court was TO strike
out certain portions OF the answer that the
pastor has interposed to the complaint OF the
colonel.
Col. lngersoll was in court with his attor-
ney, Robert Ii. Grimm, and Albert Boardman
appeared as counsel for Pastor Dixon. The
counsel did not argue the motion, but agreed
to submit II in a lew days. together with
their briefs.
They declined TO permit an inspection OF
their papers on the motion, and when the
colonel was asked for some information re-
garding the suit, he stated that he would
rather not discuss his personal difficulties
with the pastor in the newspapers.
The suit was brought over a month ngo,
and Is the sequel TO a lecture which the Bap-
list pastor delivered several months ago on
Ingersollism," in which he attacked the
ColOnels free thought ideas and insinuated
that he had advocated the dissemination OF
obscene literature.
The Colonel denied the insinuations made
against him and wrote letter TO the pastor
demanding public retraCtlon, but instead OF
doing this the pastor wrote letter TO the
Colonel and then followed this suit.
