The first days session of the United
Presbyterian synod OF Kansas found quite
AN increase in the number OF ministers
present. The ladies also are arriving in
considerable numbers for their meeting
this afternoon, and the high standard for
good looks aud intelligence is being
kept up.
The morning session opened with half
hours devotional service and 1t is seldom
that in a church court the spiritual rises
to so high plane, being usually crowded
out by the business. The moderator an
nounced the committees and the synod
proceeded TO hear reports. The printed
reports OF the boards OF the church were
placed in the hands of the members pre-
paratory TO the discussion to come up
later.
Rev. d. VI. Mcclellan OF Kansas City
read his report on the signs OF the times"
and gave no certain sound on the Ques-
tlon of the day. The preambly was a mas
terly resume of the situation in the indus
trial world. and deplored especially the
fruitless strikes with their attendant
blood sheds and destruction of property.
The resolutions brought forth streams
OF eloqueuce. They were amended and
substituted and laid on the table until
the father could not recognize his own
child. The discussion, howrver, was won
derfully free from party spirit, although
an occasional reference 10 the question D
women's suffrage broadened the smile on
the ladies' faces aud brought an answer
from some other man. One wldower for
ever ruined his hopes at this place by say
ing that woman's ssphere Il the home.
The resolutions will come up again.
The afternoon session was given up to
the csbraCion Of the quarter centennial of
the synod. R-v ID. NJ. Mcclellan took the
place of DR.. Spencer AMI read a very finely
prepared history OF the synod. A dreamy
look came over the faces OF tue gray haired
pioneers as he recouuted the struggles of
other days. Grasshoppefs. hot winds,
failure of crops and all the other calami-
ties have not Desn able to discourage the
servants of the Lord in the establishment
of his vineyard. A pleasant hour followed
when a numbe told of the scenes through
which :hey had passed.
The AeolsRn Quartette gave con-
cert IN the evening to very nne
audience which completely flied
the house. The qusrtette consists of

That is a mighty good head that Gopher
futile has even though 1t IS old ana COW
cred with gray hairs.
Mr.. Tnttle lives modestly but nicely at
900 North Topeka avenue although he is
probably the richest man in the county.
He is plain citizen and one upon looking
at him would never pick him out for man
wealthy enough to buy up all the dudes in
Christiaudom.
Among other possessions Mr.. Tuttle has
nine sections of land within 50 miles of
Chicago. 1t is corn land and outside of
the Arkansas valley it is the best in the
world
Mr. futile buys the EAGLE like every
other gentleman who believes In profitable
investments. He does not fish out the
divorce cases or the base ball news. but
he opens 1t up exactly at the third
page and with practiced eye hits the eX-
celent market reports. These he studies
to his advantage. By constantly watch
ing the changes aud indications of change
in the market be figured il out that corn
was going TO take raise. and few weeks
ago lie went TO his old home ana has been
fluctuating between there aud CHICAGO
ever since. He had 60 600 bushels of old
corn on hand. With the eye OF a sbrewd
business man he watched his opportunity
anu HLSD the RAISE came ne -Olu the corn
and raked in about $4,000. making a
profit by the advance of between $4,000
and $40 900 Ms stated.
That is not all. Mr.. futile has other
plans. He can see money away beyond
the corn market. He will double what
he made in the recent deal within
very short time His intention
is to bring that $4,000 here to Wichita
and invest it in farm lands. He knows
that lands can be bought today for about
half reasonable value, and he knows
also that within year CT eighteen mouths
they will advance from 40 to 60 per cent.
He wants to catch this advance, and
everybody who is cOgniZanc of his keen
business shrewdness knows that be makes
no mistakes in his Investments. few
weeks ago he dropped down into Sumner
county, somewhere near the Chickssha.
and picked up a ranch there for $50 600
that everybody estimates will be worth
double that SUN inside of three years ii
not much sooner. Others should follow
the example of Mr. Tuttle

WANT MORE SERVICE.

The people of Cheney are making a move
for more frequent service on the Wichita
& Western railway. They seem to have
addressed communication to the secre-
tary of state rather than to the board OF
railway commissioners. They set forth
that there has been but one train per day
and that is to be abandoned. The road
has been under the Santa Fe mana ment
since lis requirement by the Frisco line
There is nothing in the charter OF a rail-
road touching the frequency Of service
which shall be given. The number of
trains depends on the amount of business,
generally speaking. What rights and TO
what extent they could be enforced in the
way OF train service by "a municipality
which had valid cons LrucLion aid are qurs-
tions that are yet to be iudicially deter
mined. OF course it would seem that the
company would be compelled not only but
IL would be 10 their interest TO give ser.
vice adequate TO the business
