KANSAS CHURCHES.

Topeka Journal: The United Brethren
church of Topeka, has purchased lot
and half at the southwest corner Of
Tenth and Madison streets for the loca-
ton of church. Rev. s. @. Coblentz,
the pastor, who came here few weeks
ago, to organize the Topeka society, will
reside in the house now located on these
lots, until the society is prepared to
build its church, This denomination
now holds services in the Bellview
school house.
Holton Recorder: Miss Fowler, who
has been preaching every evening, has a
very. sensitive throat and was compelled
TO discontinue about the middle Of her
discourse, owing to gas escaping from
the furnace. DR.. Swaney took the plat
form and continued the sermon from
where Miss Fowler left off, and made
remarkably interesting sermon Of it.
This is regarded as feat that but few
speakers are capable of performing, and
shows the great ability and versatility of
Dr. Swaney as an extemporaneous
speaker.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-12-28

Mr.. STEAD is not the only gentle
man who has ideas respecting an
ideal, reformed newspaper. William
Morton Payne thinks that he, too,
could revolutionize journalism If
given the opportunity. In a maya
zine article he discourses at some
length on the subject, and, according
to the invariable custom Of the jour
nalistic reformer, falls foul of the re-
porter. On Mr.. Payne's ideal paper
the reporter "will he scholar
which now he is not-and a gentle
man--which now he is not permitted
to be-" ETC., etc This of course is
pure rubbish. The average reporter
is not a scholar as Samuel Johnson
and Francis Bacon were scholars, but
he is a man of wide information upon
current events and he is not infre-
Qnently college graduate-which,
by the way, does him precious little
good. III ne is not gentleman he
does not long continue to be a re-
porter on any decent paper. His
calling requires the exercise of cour-
tesy. Mr. Payne has been led astray
by the old tradition which pictured
the reporter as a registering bohemian
who never went to bed and who con-
sidered 1t point Of honor to wear a
shirt three weeks at stretch. This
reporter never existed except In the
imagination of persons who, like Mr..
Payne, were bent on reforming the
profession Of journalism at one
whack, and who pitched upon the
reporter as good subject to begin
with.

contracts have been made with several
railroad companies for supply Of the
frogs.
Since 1877 the Santa Fe has paid the
full tax on the day it was due to secure
the advantage of the rebate, which this
year would amount to $21,342. The
road owns property in seventy-one coun-
ties of the state, and in many of the
western counties over half the money
paid into the treasures comes from the
Santa Fe road. In Hamilton county, for
instance, that road pays $4,000 or
$4,000 year. The delay Of this sum
Of money to these counties, occasioned
by tho decision Of the company to test
the validity of the last assessment, wiE
be severe hardship.

SOMETHING like return to orderly
conditions has been made at OsCeola,
Neb., where recently acts Of utter
barbarism were committed by per-
sons reputed respectable. 1t may be
recalled that some mature women
setting themselves up as censors Of
the conduct of some younger women
drew them into trap and seeking to
prevent knowledge Of their own iden-
tity by wearing white caps logged
the young people about whose morals
the elders had become censorious.
The proceeding of course was in ut
ter violation Of law, The young wo-
men who suffered from this merciless
and wholly criminal attack upon
them prosecuted some Of the women
whose identity as trespassers was
shown, and the matter having been
heard in a court Of minor judicature,
and the women accused having pie adj
ed guilty, a small fine was imposed.
With proprlety punishment might
have been much heavier but that
there has been punishment at all is
evidence that upon calm reflection
the local authorities are asserting
themselves against what appears to
have been a popular barbaric senti
ment in Osceola. Whatever the mo-
tive of the assailants there could be
no excuse for their lawlessness. If
matters were bad to begin with they
made them worse by the course they
adopted.
