KANSAS CHURCHES.

North Topeka note: ". E. Archi-
bald. d. d., of North Topeka, has been
elected member of the American Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science.
Topeka Capital: The revival meeting
now in progress at the First Baptist
church, corner of Ninth and jackson
streets, are very interesting and marked
results are shown in the number of can
didates for baptism every Sunday night.
The meetings are conducted by the
pastor. Rev. J. B. Thomas. who is doing
great work in building up the church.
Bishop W. X. Ninde is sending out
the following letter to the preachers over
the state and others who will interest
themselves in the charitable work. in
voking their aid in raising money for
their relief: "The Russian famine relief
committee of the United States entreat
the immediate and earnest cooperation
of the clergy of the country in raising
funds for the cause they represent.
The need is imperative and urgent. The
one pressing demand of the hour is for
money to pay the cost Of ocean transpor-
tation, and for the purchase of further
supplies. Twenty millions of people
are suffering the horrors Of starvation.
Surely every instinct of humanity will
move us to offer aid in this terrible ext
gency. I most heartily join in this ap-
peal and urge the Methodist pastors of
Kansas to take collections in their con-
gregations, or in other ways solicit con-
tributions from their people, and send
the proceeds to Riggs & Co., bankers,
treasurer OF the Red Cross association,
or to Bishop ]. F. Hurst, both of Wash
ington, D. C."

STOCK AND FARM.

Rossville Times: Joab Mulvane is
clearing the timber and underbrush
from about 200 acres of land on the
island formed by the old and new Kaw
river channels. We hear that the acre
age is to be planted with corn this
spring.
Garden City Sentinel: w. D. Fulton,
who went to Iowa after a lot of bees,
returned on Wednesday, bringing with
him 40 stands of live bees, besides a
lot of empty stands. He will take them
to his farm northwest of the city and
devote his entire time to the care of the
bees.
Beloit Gazette: J. S. Grau, of Asher
vile, informs us that he had recently
shipped car load of sheep to Kansas
City, which netted him 1922 per head.
His brother, J. n. also shipped load
of lighter ones, which cleared him $3.50
per head. The Grau brothers are sue
cessful farmers.
Summerfeld Sun: H. D. Wycoff
thinks white corn pays better than yell
low if it grades pure white. 1t yields
fully as well and brings more money on
the market. He raised fifty-ive acres
of white corn and five acres of yellow
corn last year. and thinks he will plant
nothing but white corn this year.
Burlington Republican: VIM Crotty.
has purchased of David Grimes over
200 bushels of English blue grass seed.
80 bushels of timothy and bushels of
clover, all to be sown upon his land
south of town. He is going into the
tame grass business quite extensively,
believing that land treated in that way
win prove more profitable than when
cultivated for field crops.

KANSAS RAILROADS,

E. W. Beecher, for eleven years treas
urer of the passenger department of the
Santa Fe. has resigned his position. He
leaves soon for Galveston, Tex, for a
visit, and will return to his native coun-
try, England. He will be succeeded by
Schuyler Nichols.
Atchison Champion: The Santa Fe
passenger from Topeka, last evening,
came in brilliantly lighted with mean
descent lamps by storage batteries
placed underneath the coaches, which
run the lamps for eighteen hours. It
has very pleasing appearance and adds
very much to the comfort and attract
iveness Of the coaches, as well as being a
novelty. This is the first train running
into Atchison, if not in the west, which
Is lighted by electricity.

curate information, is authority for the
statement that a union is about to be
contaminated between the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad and the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. II
this deal is carried through there is
every indication that its success is as
sured. 1t will mean trans continental
line of huge proportions and of lasting
character. Negotiations looking toward
such a combination have now been in
progress for many months. Once be-
fore it looked as if the consummation of
such deal was about to be effected, but
for some cause or other the negotiations
were broken off. Ever since the big
Reading deal, however, of two weeks
ago, the Pennsylvania officials have been
unceasing in their efforts to strengthen
the roads position, and by securing the
Atchison as an ally they will obtain a
hold on transcontinental business that
will put the Pennsylvania far beyond
any of its trunk line competitors. The
union, it is moreover said, is not to be
mere agreement to exchange traffic on
mutually beneficial basis. but it is to be
of a much closer description. 1t is even
said that the management of these two
roads will be so merged as to practically
form OF them one system.
