TUESDAY NIGHT.
The meeting last night was one cal
culated to cheer the hearts of the
friends of the movement. AT 7:3O
o'clock the seats were all taken, and
people were standing up. Many went
away because they could not get seats.
Exercises opened with prayer by DR..
Phillips; song by the quartette; few
preliminary remarks by Mrs. Johns,
who then introduced Miss Florence
Balgarnie, of London, as one of the
speakers of the evening. Miss Balgar-
ME made a very interesting address of
forty minutes, comparing the condition
of the women of the United States with
the condition Of the women in England.
She is member of a school board show
ing that women vote and hold Office in
school matters in England. Lack of
time and space forbiGs making even an
outline of her address.
The Missouri Cyclone" Mrs. Clara
&. Hoffman, was again introduced, and
spoke for over an hour, her theme be-
ing WOman's Sphere as presented in
the Bible" We have known for years
that Mrs. Hoffman was talented, for
chile speaker, but last night she struck
her fayorite topic, and delivered the
most thoughtful discourse we ever
heard OH the subject. 1t was interest
ing, instructive and irrefutabIe. She
proved that woman was not subject to
man, but on an equality everywhere in
the bible.
We regret that we cannot give more
time and space to the various addresses.

Our stock shippers can now snip to
Wichita, and have chance to try the
market. If it does not suit, they can
go on to Kansas City the same day.
This gives Wichita fair shake at our
cattle, and If she will offer fair prices
there is no reason why our cattle should
not all be sold there. 1t Wichita wants
our stock she must ask for it.
