KANSAS CHURCHES.

Lebanon Criterion: The United
Brethren are talking of erecting par
sonage in this city.
From Kansas City: The union revival
services that have been in progress at
the Presbyterian church during the past
six weeks have been quite notable in the
history of the religious work in this
city. It is the first time there has ever
been so strong and united an effort made
for the advancement of the cause of the
church. Six of the Protestant churches
here have been laboring earnestly for
nearly two months to advance their mu-
tual interests and the results have been
very gratifying indeed. Some hundreds
of people have professed Christianity
and united with the various churches.
All of the churches represented in the
work have been greatly strengthened
and encouraged in their work and the
cause of Christianity has been greatly
advanced. The ministers who had
charge of the work are highly pleased
over the splendid results and the bond
of union between the churches has been
greatly strengthened. The churches
represented in the work are Washington
Avenue n. E. church, Seventh street n.
E. church, Third Baptist, First CongDe-
eational and Central Christian.

STOCK AND FARM.

Garden City Imprint: Much more
attention is likely to be given to the
onion crop here the present season than
for several years past. The seed for the
new crop is now in some instances going
into the ground.
Mcpherson letter: Wheat has thus
far wintered in favorable condition and
is now growing nicely. The prospect
at this time of the year lever was bet
ter, and as result our farmers and
millers are very hopeful.
Osborne Farmer: William Wales, one
of our leading farmers near this city, is
feeding forty head of steers which he
thinks will be ready for shipment about
March 25. They are doing nicely,
standing the several storms in first class
shape.
Garfield Call: A. J. Knox raised forty
bushels of corn to the acre on his farm
five miles southwest of town. Besides
having enough for about fifty head of
cattle and four or five hogs, he brought
quite an amount to town and sold for
40 cents per bushel.

PEOPLE say it is foolish to worry
about being buried alive, but every
one worries more or less about it.
Medical students who know more or
less about grave-rObbing stories say
that the number of people who are
tucked away alive is surprisingly
large. The people have such hOr-
ror of the thought, that law should
be passed compelling people to keep
their dead until the sure sign Of death
shows itself.

THE attempted suicide of Guy de
MaupasSant in a fit of delirium
brought ON by Overwork is one more
striking warning against that ex-
travagant mental stress which is so
much INDUCED in by the intellectual
workers Of to-day, but it will proba-
bly, be no more effective than have
been the many which have preceded
it. The fever of modern life hurrieS
men on with power which is all but
resistleSs. Men in these days desire
to live two or three lives at once.
There is nothing which they are will
ing to forego, and since the circum-
stances of the time bring so many
things within reach, they constantly
disregard the limitations which are
imposed upon man by human weak
ness and rush on to disastrous ends
with blind disregard of the conse-
quences, to which it is the most OBJ
vious madness to close the eyes. In
the end they gain less of life or of
enjoyment, and there is nothing which
they enjoy to the full, because there
is nothing to which they are able to
give the whole attentions; but they
grasp at everything so eagerly that
nothing in the end remains firmly in
their hands.

THE vanity which throws out hints

THE vanity which throws out hints,
and the garrulity which abhOrs ST.
lence, and the fiippancy which spurns
restraint, are all poor and mean char
acteristics which every right-minded
man and woman will be on the watch
to control. Even the entire frank
ness with which some people discuss
their own affairs forms no precedent
for discussing those of another. The
right to the former is unquestiOnable,
though its wisdom may often be
doubted; but the latter is neither
right nor kind.

IT is reported that there is wide
feeling of distrust at Talequah, the
capital of the Indian Nation, over
the sudden deaths of Chief Mayes,
Assistant Chief Chambers, and ex-
Chief Bushyhead. The charge that
their deaths were caused by other
than natural causes has been freely
made. They have all taken active
parts in the exciting questions which
have been before the nation. The
loss of such men as Mayes and Bushy-
head is very great. Bushyhead es-
pecially was scholarly man, liberal
in his views, and well-equipped
statesman.

A SWEDISH newspaper, the Ost-
gotten, takes a somewhat novel and
striking view of the emigration ques
ton. 1t says that during the last
ten years 375, 900 persons have left
Sweden as enigrants- The education
of each of these persons cost at least
a thousand crowns-abOut $40
making about s101, $50, 900 in all, and
as they emigrated when they became
old enough to turn their education to
account and return some service to
their country, the money spent for
their education was a dead loss to
Sweden. from a national point Of
view. But, looked at from our point

1T is very fortunate that the ques.
ton as to where Columbus was really
buried has been brought up before we
have actually embarked on the busi-
ness of holding the great Exposition
in his honor. What a catastrophe it
would have been to inaugurate the
Exposition in the full belief that his
remains were reposing in Havana,
and then have Prof. Cronan turn up
with his alleged discovery that they
have all these years been quietly rest
ing in San Domingo. And he really
seems to have a good case. The San
Domingo coffin has five inscriptions
while the one at Havana has none.

THE moral CONFUSION which has re-
Gently attacked the little town o.
Effingham, ILL.,, marks distinct prog
ress of the movement against the
nude in art which was begun year
or so ago in Detroit and which then
took the form of draping the statues
of Venus, Diana and other decollete
goddesses in the public gallery. The
good people of Effingham have been
reused to delicate frenzy by the ex.
hibition on their theatrical billbOards
of Autographs displaying in lurid
colorS the neither charms of company
of women participating in the pro-
duction of a burlesQue known as "His
Nibs and His NobS." The result of
the first attack of the good people
upon the mayor of Effingham was that
he ordered the police to paste brown
paper over the Objectionable PORTIONS
of the various anatomical designs.
The faces which remained in sight,
however, were Of so violent a type
that the reformers felt as though they
had only half performed their duty.
They accordingly returned to the
mayor and requested him to tear
down the Autographs and to prohibit
the show. He promised to carry out
their wishes, but at the last moment
fell prey to the superior blandish-
ments of the theatrical manager.
The Autographs remained and the
show went on. The house was
packed. The goddess thronged from
motives more or less vulgar and the
moral jOstled them in order that they
might justify by observation their
previous exploits The show was not
as the pictures, but the nibbses and
nobbses reaped golden harvest It
is too bad, but it almost invariably
happens that when the reputable ele-
ment of the community starts into
this kind of reform 1t succeeds solely
in making up purse for the benefit
of the thing which it condemns

Excursion Rates.

At the meeting of the Transmissouri
Passenger association held in Omaha, it
was agreed by lines in interest that the
same tourist rates from the Missouri
river and Kansas points should be given
this year as we're in force last year, and
at about the same dates of sale.
An open rate of one and one-third
fare from all Kansas points to Topeka
during the state Sunday school conven-
ton, May 1912 was agreed upon.
All the lines of the Transmissouri as
ISOLATION, except one not represented in
the meeting, agreed to one-fare rate
to the democratic national convention in
June from all western territory.
The annual state convention, Kansas
republican league, to be held in Topeka
March l and 2, was given one and
one-third fare rate.
The Swedish Lutheran Augustana
synod of Lindsborg, May 26 to June
10, was granted rate of one and one
third fare.
A one and One-third fare rate was
given the annual session, south Kansas
conference, Methodist Episcopal church
Ottawa, March Gil.
The Arkansas valley annual confer
ence of the United Brethren church, to
be held in Winfield March 90, was
allowed a rate of one and one-third fare.
The southwest Kansas annual confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Winfield March 1921 will be given a
rate of one and one-third fare.
Lawyers and Damage Suits.
The Insurance and Investors Maya
zine, of Kansas City, in it's February
number, quotes the following article re-
garding Lawyers and Damage Suits"
from the Boston Standard:
Everybody but certain class of
lawyers will applaud Judge Gresham's
stern rebuke administered the other day
to Charles w. Monroe, Chicago attor-
ney, who visited man injured by rail-
road train to learn if there was any basis
for a damage suit. Il don't say you
were guilty of showing your services on
this man unsolicited said the Judge, in
dignantly, but it looks bad, sir, very
bad. If railroad trains run over people
or injure them, the railroads should be
held accountable for proper damages.
But I don't like the way lawyers of a
certain class have of rushing off to peo-
pie as soon as they are injured and
forcing their legal services on them; and
the public does not like it either. Law
yers who do this sort of thing ought to
be disbarred, and if I ever get another
one of them before me I will disbar him.
We trust the judge will not stop with
railroad lawyers of certain class but
will extend the disbarment proceedings
to those who make business of hunting
up clients against insurance companies,
and manufacturing cases which, nine
times out of ten, in all probability would
be settled amicably and satisfactorily by
the insurer and the assured, without
the intervention of these legal harpies."

THE discussion about the orders
sent by Gen. Terry, who is dead, to
Gen. Custer, who is dead, concerning
the battle of the Little Big Horn in
1876, is mischievous and profltless.
Terry was prudent General, but al
ways true to his duty. If a subordin-
ate of Clusters grade had disobeyed
his orders Terry would not have failed
to report the fact in his official COM
municatiOns with the War Depart
ment. A misunderstanding he might
overlook, but certainly not direct and
palpable disobedience, such as is
charged against the memory of dead
hero by Mr.. Munger, the New Haven
clergyman. The accusation rests up
on the conversation of staff officer
relating "reminiscences of verbal Or
ders. The foundation is too slight
for the superStructure, and, with all
respect to the cloth, it is to be said
that the preacher had better stick to
his vocation of saving the souls of
living men rather than resort to
blackening the memories of the dead.
Gen. Terry, no doubt, gave proper
and prudent orders. Beyond question
Custer did the best he could to exc
cute them according to the informa-
tion he had as to the enemy's
strength and dispositions, and with
such concurrence as he received from
subordinates. 1t may be true that
the history of the Custer massacre
has yet to be written, but the reputa-
tion of that gallant, indefatigable and
by no means indiscreet cavalry leader
is not to be preached away on second.

WE should be studiously just and
courteous to the stranger within the
gates. A report that has gained wide
currency concerning Lady Henry
Somerset deserves summary stopping.
It is that, although temperance
missionary, she is owner, according
to a parliamentary return, Of several
licensed "publics, or saloons, in Lon
don. Lady Henry Somerset inherited
a considerable estate, including prop
erty leased for this nefariOuS business,
and it is not legally in her power to
terminate these leases at her will.
The fact, therefore, is not cause for
reproach on a philanthropic woman,
who will not renew the leases when
they come within her control.
