SEEK A NEW ORGANIST.

The First Presbyterian Church in Need of
One-Church Growth
The First Presbyterian church mana
gers are now trying to secure an organ
ist to succeed Mr.. H. s. Wilder, who re-
Gently resigned, and to make other ar
rangements for music for the coming
writer season.
The First Presbyterian church now
has $50 members.
Since Rev. S. B. Anderson became pas
tor Of the church, two years and a half
ago, over 300 new members have been
added and the present outlook is most
encouraging. During the last two years
$4,000 has been paid on the church debt,
which has, on account of the pressing
financial condition, embarrassed some of
the church departments to some extent
but this embarrassment is now being
overcome.
Rev Mr. Anderson will attend the
meeting of the Topeka Presbytery at
Wamego, October 2, and will go on to
Salina to the meeting of the synod of
Kansas October 4. He viii be away a
week. The second Sunday in October
will be communion Sunday at this church.

The pits formed, rarely fill with water

WORRIED THE MAYOR.
a Delegation of Women want a Water
Irough in LoLgman Hi.

Trough in LOtvman Hill.
Mayor Harrison is in an unhappy
state of mind today A delegation of
women waited upon him this morning
and gave him such talking to" as the
mayor of city seldom receives.
Two months ago the council ordered a
water trough put up at the corner of
Tenth and buchanan streets. to accom-
modate the people in Lowman Hill and
vicinity whose wells had given out and
who had not the advantage of city water.
The trough was not put in and the
people did not understand why the order
Of the council has not been complied
with and the ladies waited upon the
mayor to find out the reason.
He told them that the water company
had refused to allow a trough to be put
up unless meter was put in and the city
pay gallon rates for the water used. He
said the city could not afford to do this
He also said that if a trough is put up
there the people in the other suburbs
will demand troughs, and besides there
is already a trough two blocks away.
swell, we would ike to know" said
the spokeswOman, why it is that we
have to pay taxes and receive no benefit
4 would just like to know where the
money goes we pay for taxes"
The mayor tried to Dacify them in his
most persuasive manner but utterly
failed, and they left in extremely bad
humor.

NOT A MITE OF DIFFERENCES
Has Yet Been Made in Topeka in Prices
BY the Tariff Bill.

Has Yet Been Made in Topeka in Prices
By the Tariff Bill.
The new tariff law does not affect the
prices of goods of any character which
are purchased in Topeka. The tariff on
manufactured wooden goods does not go
into effect until January 1, and until then
the effect of the new tariff law can not
be exactly ascertained. The free wool
schedule went into effect, however, as
soon as the bill became a law, and raw
wool is now admitted free of duty.
". W. Mills, of W. w. Mills & Sons,
dealers in car pets, says: Free wool has
had no effect on the prices of carpets
Carpets are down, but they went down
long before the tariff law was passed 1
do not LOOK for a change in prices as
result of the new tariff. Wool sold
this year in Michigan at So
cents per pound, while the usual price
Is from 25 to 30. I have bought
wool for 81 per pound l do not
see how wool can be any cheaper than it
is now The new law, as it relates to
manufactured carpets, does not 60 into
effect until January /, but l do not ex-
pect that it will affect the prices. The
old law put duty of forty cents a square
yard and 40 per cent adj valorem on most
grades Of carpets, and in the new law
the specific duty is removed and the ad
val0rem alone remains"
Dir Stevenson. of Stevenson & Co., dry
goods. said: There has been no change
of prices as a result of free wool. We
are paying just about the same Tor goods
that we did before the law went into eff
feet. I do not expect any change in
prices either way as a result of the new
tariff BILL 1 expect the prices to remain
about what they are now"
D. A Clements, of Clements s. Chaffee,
clothiers, said: at doesn't make bit OF
difference as far as can see. OF course
the tariff on clothing does not into eff
feet until January 1, and can not tell
what the effect will be, but do not ex-
pect much change in prices. In buying
socks now we get them for twenty-five
cents a dozen less, but that is such
small reduction that it does not enable us
to sell them any cheaper, so, as far as the
consumer is concerned, there is no differ
ence1

NOW, JUDGE THOM PSON

a Pass
DOES not INFLUENCE DECISIONS
In VOur Court e-There Are Lawyers
In Topeka That Think 1t Does

In KOur Court 9-There Are Layvy ers
In Topeka That Think 1t Does.
Lawyers S. B. Isenhart and Ed Nc
Keever viii go next week to Usage City
to try a case before Judge B. L ThomP-
son; and the case is one in which a topic
now commanding great deal of atten-
ton, that of judges holding passes, has
played an important part
The client of the Topeka attorneys is
crippled man named Thomas Wallace,
who was injured IN Rock Island mine
by the premature explosion of blast
Both eyes were totally blinded, fingers
on both hands were mutilated and he
was otherwise crippled for life.
David Overmyer and Ed AcKeever
were the lawyers at the previous trial of
the case. They had ideal jury and
got q judgment in excess of $20,0UO.
Judge Thompson, however, set the judg-
ment aside and granted the corporation
retrial of the case. When this was done Mr..
Overmyer arose with great dignity said
to the court Never mind, your honor,
about giving the reasons for your ruling,
1 think I know the reason. l have $780,
600 in judgments against railroad
porations that are standing in just the
shape this judgment is in" Dir. Over
myer was too good a lawyer to venture
outside the lines OF court decOrum, but
he carried the point he wished to convey
with extreme directness. By the judges
has had his just claim delayed over a
year. David Overmyer, owing to his
political dates, will not be able to try the
case, so his legal associate, Mr. Isenhart,
will take his place.
Judge Thompson is one of the Kansas
judges who ride on pass. While Mr.
AIckeever did not wish to say anything
about It for fear of iDjuring his case, it
Is safe to assume that they would go be-
fore the bar of justice with more conf.
dence of securing equitable relief for
their client, did not the judge of that
court carry a Rock Island pass in his
pocket.
David Overmyer does not ride on a
pass, and his friends say that his ideas
on the subject OF passes in high places
of trust are in thorough accord with
those of J. @. Waters. Mr.. Overmyer
does not use pass, but not because he
cannot get one. A friend Of his a short
time ago asked his influence in aiding
him to get free transportation, Mr. Over
myer replied. Il wouldn't ask them for
pass if l had to walk"

WHY THE LAND SUNK.
The Phenomenon In Southern Kansa
Explained by W. F. File.

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Permit me to offer d brief explanation
of the land sinking spoken Of IN the press
dispatches a few days ago.
The occurrence is not unusual IN the
part of Kansas where these sinks took
place. and IL will be seen that they are
not Of such extent as to produce alarm.
The reason of the sinking of the sur
face is that the sand forming its founda-
ton has been eroded by the water. The
sand pockets are numerous, and some
times fifty or sixty feet in diameter,
though generally smaller. The surface
with its grass roots, soil and hard pan.
remains intact until some unusual pres
sure comes upon il. when it gives way.
An instance Of this kind may be cited
