Church.
There was a light at the meeting in
Rev. @. d. Olden's church On east First
street, Thursday night
Rufus Frazier offered a resolution to
expel Pastor Olden and other church
officers The resolution was voted down.
That started the trouble. The pastor was
assaulted but not seriously hurt. Hayden
Edmonds threw an old man named Rob
erts through d window. There were 15J
people in the church, many Of whom
we're women. aud the fight resulted in
general panic. Edmonds was arrested
later by Constable Stonestreer, charged
with assault; and several more war; ants
are about to be issued. The fight was
the result largely Of the lawsuit between
Olden and jeff Davis, which engenCered
much bad feeling.

J. NJ Mcfarland. son of Judge N. c.
Mcfarland, who was formerly assistant
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture and who il now state statistician
for the department Of agriculture at
Washington, has prepared a little pamph-
let with some interesting figures about
eastern Kansas.
Ia this pamphlet Mr.. Mcfarland com
pares eastern Kansas in its production of
corn and wheat with twenty-seven states
lying east af the Mississippi river for a
period of ten years.
Mr.. Mcfarland divided the state by
drawing a line along the western border
of the counties of Jewell. Mitchell, Lin
coin, Ellsworth, Rice, Reno Kingman
and Harper BY thus looping off the
western half Of the state. eastern Kansas
is shown to be the garden spot of the
universe, and the figures prove all is said
for it.
The showing made for eastern Kansas
as a wheat producing state is something
N arvelous in this comparison, as it Is
shown that in 1898 Kansas ranked Sec
ond. having had 1879 1913 acres in
wheat. producing 222, y0O.80S bushels, an
average yield per acre Of 1888

award was for strongest leavening power,

its bestOwal is found in the official rec

tration. and have it noted on your certih-
cate.
Has your neighbor registered? Has
everyone residing on your premises reg
istered from that point.
To voters of the First and Second
