The attendance is good and the services
are increasing in interest.
Washington Republican: The dedi-
cation of the new Lutheran church on
Horse Shoe creek, recently, was one of
the most brilliant affairs in the history
of the township. This church is marvel
of fine architecture and the pride OF the
people of Independence township, re-
CARELESS of religious inclination.
Topeka Capital: The Central Con-
| gregational church, at its recent annual
meeting reported membership of 213.
This is a satisfactory growth Of four
wears, the church having been organized
| in 1889. One of the most interesting
features OF the meeting was the raising
of $1,000 to pay OF the building debt
which has been hindrance to the work
| of the church since the beginning. 1t
was all raised in less than half an hour
/ by less than one hundred members OF
| the church present The church enters
on it's fifth year with large prospects
for usefulness. The new hall In Ten

possible for kindergarten work and II.

The state executive committee of the
Young Mems Christian association of
Kansas and Oklahoma met at the state
Office of the association at 629 Quincy
street.
This meeting was largely attended
by the various members from over the
state, among whom were Rev. J. d.
Hewett of Emporia, G. G. Freeman from
Oklahoma, W. E. Hazen of Lawrence,
J. D. Hustled of Kansss City, Willis K.
Folks of Wellington, and A. Baird OF
Wichita, as also Henry E. Brown, men,
Der of the international committee from
Oberlin, Ohio. Much business relative
to the progress of the work in Kansas
and the territory was transacted. Asso-
citation work over the state is looking
up, especially in the larger cities.

The Sweating" Evil in Large Cities.


The result of the investigation OF
the subcommittee Of the House Com
mittee on Manufactures on the
sweating" system Of employing labor
in the large cities is such as to call
for prompt measures for the amelio-
ration of the condition Of the poor
people who are compelled to slave
for the Sweating" bosses in crowded
rooms where sanitation is impossible.
This is demanded not only in the in
terest Of the miserable tOilers them
selves, but also as safeguard against
the spread Of contagious disease.
The committee found people work
ing on clothing in filthy dens, in
which, in some instances, eight or
ten toilers occupied rooms as small as
12x14 feet in size, and saw contagion
placards on doors in tenement
houses in which sweat" shops are
located. It can readily be seen how
disease can be spread broadcast by
the distribution of articles Of cloth
ing made under such conditions, and
the report of the investigating COM
mittee may afford an explanation OF
sudden outbreaks Of malignant dis
ease in districts in which sanitary
conditions are comparatively perfect.
Tenement-house ready-made cloth
ing and tenement-house cigars are
placed under ban by this report, and
unless the evil Of the sweating" sys-
tenn can be cured by the application
of direct remedial measures, the pub
lie may eventually demand the disin-
lection by fumigation Of all clothing
not made In registered shops under
the supervision of sanitary inspec-
tors. We buy meat now which is
certified as having been inspected
why not clothing?

railroad commissioners of the state OF
Kansas. The result will be surprising
even to railroad men, and should be en-
tightening to some of those who have
taken positions against the Kansas
lines. The only roads that more than
paid operating expenses and the interest
on their bonded indebtedness in the
state of Kansas, are the Santa Fe, the
Rock Island, the Memphis, the Solomon
and the Union Pacific, Lincoln & Colo
RADIO, and the aggregate earnings OF all
these roads was only 100000 in round
numbers. The roads that show deficit
on the same basis are the Burlington 4
Missouri, the Frisco, the Union Pacific,
the Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas, the Manhattan, Alma &
Burlingame, the Dodge City, Monte
yuma & Trinidad, the Wichita & West
ern, the Hutchinson & Southern, the
Northwestern, the Grand Island, the
Junction City & For. Kearney, the
Omaha & Republican Valley, the Kansas
Central, the Salina & Southwestern, and
the Leavenwortb, Topeka & Southwest
ern. The total deficit of these roads
was 81, 100000 leaving deficit for the
state for the past year of 81, 100000.
These totals are given in round num-
bers because while most of the figures
which yielded them are absolute, some
of them are estimates; but the totals
cannot be much amiss. It should be
remembered, too, that the interest taken
into consideration in these estimates is
the interest on the bonded Indebtedness
of the several roads, so that the matter
of watered stock has no bearing on the
situation.

At the annual meeting of. the Kansas
State Historical society, Judge Emery,

The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests
to be II per stronger than any other brand on the
market. Better buy the others, for they mostly
contain alum, lime and suphuric acid but they are
forced upon you that you charged correspon-
dinghy lower price for them.

Organs Disagree.

How these Democrats agreey The
New York World. in the late lament
able campaign, insisted with much
stridency that Grover Cleveland was
the greatest friend the Union veteran
pensioner ever had, and sought to
win the soldier vote for him on that
ground. The Durham On. c. Globe,
which persistently praised Cleveland
for his opposition to the crippled
veterans of the Union, and even for
his contumelious treatment Of them,
new comes forward and declares that
the National Democratic Committee
was afraid to send copies Of the
World into the South for fear It's
absurd claim might be believed. -

What Robbery" Costs.

If, as claimed by the Democrats in
the late campaign, the protective
tariff defrauds the people Of the
United States Of 81, 600, 900, 900 every
year, how can they hesitate to stop
this robbery the very moment they
come into power next March. Ten
hundred millions annually is $50, 000,-
600 every month, or about 81, 707 900
a day, or about $4,000 every hour,
day and night, awake or asleep, for
each day in the year. This
enormous robbery OF the people"
amounts to $16 a year for
every man, woman, child and baby
In the United States. OF course,
the alleged robbery" is all bosh,
purely imaginary, a scarecrow ut1l-
lied for partisan purposes. The
money raised by customs duties goes
to meet the expenses Of the Federal
government, pay pensions, interest
on the public debt, and other neces-
sary expenditures for the public well
fare The Democratic administra-
ton will have to pay these expend-
itures the same as the Republican ad-
ministration has paid them, and it
will have to raise the bulk Of the
money by a tariff on imports. In
deed, their very first proposition is to
restore the tariff on sugar by which
they will rob the people" Ito use their
own phraseology) Of over $50, 600, 0oC
Q year.
But II it be true, as they claim,
that the protective tariff Is costing
the people $50, 900, 900 a month or
nearly 50, 600, 600 day, how can they
oonscientiously delay any longer thar
absolutely necessary to convene the
Fifty-third Congress in extra session
TO repeal this great burden upon thu
people? II the Democrats are sin
cere and honest in their profession
they will call an extra session a
soon as possible after President Cleve
land is inaugurated and wipe on
the iniquity" which "defrauds tn,
people Of $1,000, 600, 900 annually
The country viii now see whethe
the Democrats were sincere ant
honest" in their profession AM
whether they have the boasted "couI
age Of their convictions.

PATENTS.
Notice to Investors.

There was never n time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The couvenienccs Of mankind in
the factory aud Workshop, the house
hold. on the farm. and in official life,
require continual accessions to the ap-
purtenances and implements of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not per-
nit the affairs Of government to deter
him from quickly cOnceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing a competent and sklllful attor-
uey to prepare and prosecute an appll-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in iunum-
cradle instances by the employment of
incompetent counsel, ard especially is
this advice applicable to those who
adopt the INC patent, no pay system.
! Inventors who eutrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at immi-
nent risk, as the breadth and strength
of the patent is never considered in
view of the quick endeayor TO get an al
, lowance and obtain the fee then due.

The New York World of the 18th
publishss the following important cable
gram from its London correspondent on
the silver situation in Europe:
"Tho event of the week in London,
which is Of the most Importance to the
United States, was the bill practically
adopted in parliament last Tuesday au-
thoriziug the Indian government to bor-
row S5oo00Ooo to meet maturing obli-
cations between now and March. The
importance of this to the United States
lies in the frank admission that so far
at least, the experiment of closing the
Indian mints 10 the free coinage of sill
yer has completely failed to achieve
what that closing was meant to achieve
that is, the maintaining of the value
of the rupee.

Congressman Morse, of Massachu-
sets, possesses, in remarkable degree.
that faculty which once upon a time,
according to the tale, caused the monkey
to attempt to investigate buzz saw in
motion. He again assumed the role of
monkey last week, to the buzz saw of
Delegate Rawlins, of Utah. After be
ing numerically held up to the ridicule
of the house by Rawlins, Morse had TO
acknowledge that his opposition to the
bill for the admission of Utah as a
State, which was passed by the house,
was based entirely upon a book written
by Brigham Young's fifteenth wife.
What would be thought of lawyer who
would make Uncle Toms Cabin the
cornerstone of case to be tried in the
courts of the present time? just about
the same that is thought of Morse now.

aid as much as the country needs Colo
RADIO and her silver. Gold or silver,
either or both, will be all right for Colo.
RADIO, which produces both; but either
is too narrow a basis for the country
which needs and must have both upon
which to rest its business enterprises.
Forced to the development of her
marvellous resources other than silver
by the repeal bill, Colorado, after the

ergies into new channels, will show her
self to be the richest State in natural
wealth III the entire Union.'

start gold excitement in any part of

the Times has little faith in the paning-

covered gold camps. Well, there may
be some eXaggeratiOn regarding the re-
puted richness of some of the new dis
coveries. but it is a we'l-known fact
nevertheless, that the gold output of the
State is rapidly increasing.

Taken For a Bear.

ASTORIA, Wash, Aug. ia terrible
accident, which will probably cost Ed
ward Gilmore his life, happened near
Cathlamet yesterday Gilmore and
Charles Sloper were on their way TO a
ranch 16 miles from Oathlamet when
they struck a heavy patch of timber and
decided to make short cut across 1t.
They had not gone far when the report
of a rifle was heard and Gilmore fell to
the ground with his shoulder smashed
to fragments by bullet. Immediately
after the discharge Of the irearm d. ID,
Prescott, hunter, emerged from the
timber. He had taken the men for
bears and fred without waltz G to see
whether he was right. Prescott and
Sloper carried the wounded man, who
was in great agony, distance of four
miles, when help was secured, and several
bones, four inches long, were extracted
from the collar bone and shoulder.

Fell Sixty Feet.

DANyILLE, Va, Aug. l6.-An accident
occurred at the county line trestle just
east of Milton early this morning by
which two passenger coaches and a
sleeper were precipitated into the creek
below, distance of sixty feet, killing
seven persons outright and wounding
a number of others.
The train bound for Portsmouth left
here at 1875 this morning, After pas
sing through Milton and going over
the trestle, En- & neer Tunstal, who says
he was running at the rate of ten miles
per hour, felt the bridge giving away.
He threw open the throttle and the en-
CINE, tender and box car, got safely
over, but the passenger car was too late
and the span went down under the
weight, and the secc nd passenger coach
and sleeping car followed. The cars
were shivered into kiudling wood and
the escape of any of the passengers was
a meriacle The water in the creek had
risen to a depth of II or more feet, and
1t is the general belief that the rise had
undermined the foundation under the
piers, causing the trestle to settle,
On the train at the time were about
sixteen persons including the train
han is, but only one of the latter, Con-
ducto' H. Morris of Portsmouth, was
killed, none of the others receiving ser.
ious injuries,
