fartlal Report OF Committee on AID.
pOrtiOnment.

we, the committee appointed bv the
Executive Board of the Baptist state
convention Of Kansas, to attend to the
WorK OT making the apportionment re-
CURED Or each association in order to
raise the sum of three thousand dollars
S5,OOO) during this associational year.
~ pc distributed to the various depart
nents OF our state work as follows:
FOr district and state missions, 81, $50;
TOT Church Edifice fund, 81, $50. Here
Dy SUBMIT the following partial report:
from the most accurate information
mat we could obtain, we find that the
general aggregate Of our membership
IS about 9,12O.
reckoning from this aggregate mem
bership, we lind that the amount that
VIII be required per capita, would be
nearly equal to 35 cents. This. however,
would create small surplus above the
amount Of three thousand dollars
agreed upon by the state board.
Notwithstanding, we recommend that
this will be the per capita. This would
apportion the following as the amounts
TO be raised by each district association.
The Northwestern District. 81, $50
The Central District. 1850
The Southeastern District. 800. 525
The Northeastern District. ....... 525
Making total Of about $3.50, or
surplus of $3.50, above the present
basis.
Now if each church will note the mem
bership Of its individual congregation
they can very readily approximate the
amount Of three thousand dollars to be
raised. For instance, it church. con-
tain membership Of 100 x 80 cents,
equal $35; or one hundred members
multiplied by 81 cents, equal $35 dol
lars, the amount to be raised by that in
dividual church.

MANHATTAN, KAs., April 10Th,
I894.-Last Sunday was a glorious
day with Mt. Zion Baptist church
at this place. The Holy Spirit
poured into our hearts.
Rev. r. w. P. Banks at the So
licitation of the church was with us
during the day for the purpose of
baptizing candidates who were
awaiting baptism, at 1 80 a. III. and
he delivered a very able discourse.
Then the great commission which
was doctrinal to the congregation
the subject of Baptism was clearly
ventilated. Communion was adj
ministered at the hour of ; p. III.
after listening to another soul stir
ring sermon. And at s. 80 p. III. the
Elder almost outdid himself. The
church was delighted with his ser,
vice that they gave him a social

ed him with a purse of $500. The
church is alive.
Yours for the work. c. T.

Miss KATIE TEAT, our agent and

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH,
f1ard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When q five horse power engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the bard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will bolt " his food i'll a few MIN
utes which will take hours 10 digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful i'll the
stomach as a key Of nails would be Ia
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses TO do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood aud
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest i'll bed.
The application of common sense III the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings 10 the busy man the full ell
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The pellets are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
constipation and slotllfulness or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken i'll teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed OH the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
OF the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cn,e
yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

MISS GING'S MURDER.

Assassin Is Claus a. BIixt-Hired by
Harry T. Hayward-Crime Exposed
by Confession of the Lattcr's Broth

Killed for Insurance.

The Minneapolis grand jury began Mon
day the investigation of the Cling murder
case The officials have practically given
up hope of wringing confession from
Harry Hayward. and it seems certain
that the case will come to trial in due
time. in witch event it is likely to become
q celebrated case in murder trial annals.
Harry Hayward is apparently deter
mined to fight the thing out to the bitter
end. and few more developments are eX-
pected before the case comes to trial.
Adry a. Hayward, brother of the ac-
cused, made confession. in which he de-
clares that the fearful crime was deliber-
ately planned by his brother, Harry, and
that the bloody deed was committed by
G.. A. BliXt, the engineer of the Ozark
flats. The motive for the crime was the
securing of the insurance on the murdered
wOman's life.
Adry's confession shows that prior to
the murder Harry had arranged all the
details of the loans he had made her, the
evidence, the life insurance. etc, in such
a manner that it would appear to the pub
lie afterward that it was all open and
above board. Time and time again Harry
made personal appeals to Adry but the
latter always told him he could never
carry out such scheme as getting rid of

Why should we be cruel to ourselves? 1t is
piece of senseless inhumanity, for instance,
for any one of Us to intiict upon his bowels
and stomach the colvulsive, gripping, violent
acton of a drastic cathartic Many people
enanored of pills, powders, and potions are
continually doing this. They are only keep
ing up the agony" pelpetuating the disturb
ance by this foolish course. Why don't they
take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and get
thoroughly and promptly SCI right? This SUI
preme laxative never gripes, never produces
violent effects of any sort. Yet it is very
effective and brings about permanent results.
For liver complaint, dyspepsia, nervousness,
lack of vitality, rheumatic and kidney COM
plants, it is eminently serviceable. In old
age and to accelerate cOGyalescence 1t is
strongly to be commended. Use it for malaria.

Commissioner Lochren, when before the

pensioners who remain on the rolls, he
said, may get increases. 50 that: even if

WHEAT FED TO STOCK.
Government Report on the Amount
Used for This Purpose.

The Washington Statistical Bureau of
the Agricultural Department estimates
the amount of wheat already fed to live
stock up to Oct. 80 at 100000 bushels.
and the amount to he fed at 29.2I3,000
bushels. making the total 100000
bushels. These figures are merely the
meager estimates from those States
where correspondents have complied with
the requests of the department, and
should not be taken as more than an at
tempt at approximation of total feeding
of wheat from the present supply The
severity and length of the winter will
necessarily influence the final findings
upon this question.
William Dunn bought 10000 bushels of
wheat at Toledo Tuesday to fill foreign
order. "Wednesday he tried to buy some
more there. but none was offered for
sale. There are more than SJ,000000
bushels in sight in this country and Can
ada, upward of 26000,000 bushels
being stored in Chicago elevators. and it
seems odd that none of these elevators
want to sell any. Millions of bushels of
wheat are speculatcd in every day. but
actual cash transactions are insignificant
most of the time on the Board of Trade.
