Rev. Botkln Troubles the Nerves OF
Sensitive Listeners

WELLINGTON, Kan. Special I'm the
Methodist church at Belle Plaine last
night Rev. j. D, Botkin of this city,
prohibition candidate for governor in
1883 and for six years presiding elder
for the Methodist church, lectured on
The Nations Perils" In it he re.
ferred to the evils which beset the
national legislation-among others
the whisky and other trusts, lobbying,
bribery, election methods, partisan
whipping and immoral surroundings
OF legislators, and declared that al
measures affecting the moral, social,
political or religious welfare of the
people were fit topics for discussion in
the pulpit Incidentally he passed
some severe structures on this national
banking law, and declared that the
conviction Of the "commonweal lead.
ers" for waking on the grass of the
capital had the effect Of making him
tired"
D. W. Forney, late chairman of the
republican county convention, arose
in the rear Of the room and inter.
rupted Mr.. Botkin by asking DO You
believe the conviction unjust?"
1T is trivial-infernal," replied
Rev. Mr., Botkin with strong empha.
sis "If hundred millionaires
walked on the grass not word would
be said"
{. K. Parsons, a leading democrat
banker, sprang to his feet directly in
fiont of the speaker and cried:
Leave the room. Let's leave the
church. " .ra-.
Two dozen men and women got up
and started for the door.
Stay and take your medicine, cried
State Senator A. G. Forney, brother
Of the republican chairman, while
there were deep murmurs in the
church, much laughter and some sti-
fled applause.
The speaker offered to divide the
time with those who had interrupted
him, but they went on out. He had
continued but few moments when
the janitor of the church interrupted:
"Vou are hurting our pastor, Rev. Mr..
Burns"
Mr.. Burns said: at is not nv pro.

tation. Only the trustees can take
