KANSAS CHURCH AFFAIRS.

Chetopa's new Methodist church is

The United Presbyterian women, of
Topeka. have completed arrangements
to secure parsonage and are looking
for suitable property.
There has been a great religious
revival in Corning and 181 converts are
reported. The town has three fine
church buildings and another one is to
be built this season.
Burlington Independent: Wednes-
day afternoon Elder Setliff, state evan
gelist of the Christian church, baptized
twelve converts in the Neosho river. The
ice had to be cut so they could get into
the water, and the thermometer regis
tered 20 degrees above zero.
Topeka Mail: Services were held in

Saturday evening at which time sew
eral persons received baptism and were
admitted into the church. Sunday at 2

KANSAS RAILROADING.

Parsons special: At special meet
ing of the stockholders of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad, held in this
city the purchase of the coal road of the
Southwestern Mineral Railway company
which extends from this city southeast
to the coal fields of Cherokee county,
was ratified and confirmed. President
Rouse stated to the Association Press
representative that the proposed gen
eral Office building to be erected in Kan
sas in conformity with the statutes
would be built at Parsons this spring
without any further delay.
The Wichita Southern is the title of
a projected railroad which Wichita men
will build if they can secure the nee
essary capital. It is proposed to run
from there to McAlester, I. t., after
cheap coal. A committee ofncitizens has
already been appointed to lobby an act
through the legislature enabling Sedg-
wick county to guarantee interest for
five years on bonds of the railroad COM
pany, TO be issued at tho rate of So, 600
mile. Later: A public meeting in
Wichita got up to protest against
such legislation, seems to have killed
the project.
The mutual association of the railway
lines is partially in action, evidenced by
the announcement made by the Kansas
lines that the advertised homeseekers'
excursions for March and April will be
withdrawn. The Missouri Pacific, Bur-
lington. Union Pacific Rock Island and
Santa Flo have been advertising special
rate for homeseekers to territory west of
the Missouri river. The lines east of the
river heard of this action on the part of
the roads west of that dividing line, and
went to Mr.. Caldwell posthaste, with
the result of that gentlemen making a
successful effort to have the lines with
draw the announcements, and at the
same time having them agree that they
will not sell or authorize connecting
lines to sell the low rate tickets for
these trips.

WEARING QUEUES IN CHINA.

1t Is Merely the Prevailing Sty1es
and Is Not Demanded by Law.
cit is to the Tartars who conquered
China several centuries ago that we are
indebted for this much discussed
queue" said Wing Lock, a prominent
Chinaman, to a writer for the Pitts
burg Dispatch. "You hear great deal
about the laws of China relating to the
wearing of queues; how a Chinaman
cannot return to his country without
his queue, and all that. Well, it is all
bosh. The wearing of q queue is no
more required by law than your gen.
tlemen wearing whiskers. 1t is q Gus
tom and a style, and Chinaman real
ICES some truth in the saying that you
might as we'll be out of the earth as out
of style. A Chinaman retains his queue
simply because If he should ever re-
turn to his native land he would not
care to go about among his friends and
make himself conspicuous by such
radical departure from the style of SO
many millions of people. Strange, too,
that the Chinaman should hold to his
queue with such tenacity when it was
originally imposed upon him as n mark
OF SuDJocClOn. w ueu the 1dFIdFS cdLu0
over and set q ruler on our throne they
decreed that every Chinaman should
wear a queue such as they did. OF
course, this was at first CALLING to them,
for they could not see or touch their
plated hair without being reminded Of
their conquest. But time heals all
wounds, and it was not long before the
| Cinnamon began to cherish the marks
of subsection as a good fashion or style.
This was also true about the style Of
dress the Cinnamon now wear. 1t is
in the queue that Chinaman wears his
badge of mourning. When a China
mans father or mother dies there is
sent to him, as to all the members of
the family, colored carriers. These are
not carriers as we understand, but sort
of ribbons, white, green or blue, which
are plated with the hair. White, green
and blue are the cOlors of mourning,
while the ribbon that is ordinarily plait
ed in the queue is black. These blue
and green garters are worn in the hair
for one year after the death of a par

STOCK AND FARM.

Kinsley Mercury: Feed is beginning
to get scarce and the fortunate owners
of surplus are getting good price for
it. Hav is worth IS ton; fodder
$3.50; kaffir corn Sc. Should the spring
be late there will be some difficulty in
carrying stock through. After such a
winter, however, grass is likely to start
early.
Harper Advocate: It seems to be the
general opinion among the farmers in
this locality that the wheat suffered not
a little from the recent wind storm.
The early varieties seem to have been
damaged the worst. Many contend that
if it should rain ere long and then turn
off warm there is enough vitality left to
make fair crop.
The Sterling Gazette says that the
peach buds in Rice county were all dead
before the last cold snap.
Chapman: Joe Symns, one OF Doni-
phan county's largest farmers, says the
wheat on the side hills is killed, owing
to the dry winter and heavy winds and
much of it on the lower lands needs a
good protected rain to redeem it. Mr..
Svmns gives as his opinion that much
of the wheat throughout the county ID
killed.

The $4,000 damage suit or Mrs.
Emma j. Phelps, against x-GoNrnor
Lewelling, Mayor Cloyes, Of Atchison,
and members of the local board of po-
lice commissioners, under the Lewelling
administration terminated by Judgment
being rendered for the defendants on the
pleadings of the plaintiff The plaintiff
sought to recover by reason of the fact
that her husband, during 1895, failed to
support her, spending his earnings in
joints which she claimed, were contrary to
law, with the knowledge and consent of
the defendants. Judge Webb, OF the dis
trict court, decided that the suit could
not be maintained. A similar suit
against the city of Atchison was decided
in the same manner two weeks ago.
While engaged in operating one of
the new electric mining machines in the
North Leavenworth coal shaft, William
Baker received a shock that killed him
instantly. By some means he came in
contact with small live wire that threw
him over on the machine, when his right
side struck the main wire and he was
severely shocked. The foreman of crew
running the machine, William Jenkins,
received a severe shock, and it was
thought for time that he would die
also. The employees of the mine are
greatly stirred up over the accident,
and they came out of the mine at once.
The machines have been used in the
mine for about a year, and this is the
first death caused by them. The pro-
prietors of the mine claim that there
was only 800 volts of electricity used,
and they are at loss to account for
Bakers death.
