Leavenworth Street Railway

WICHITA, April 10-Rev. Bruce Crit
fifth of the Brown Memorial church read
a paper before the Minister ial associa-
ton that is causing a good deal OF dis
cussion, pro and con, among the minis
tiers and people who are closely identi-
fed with church work. The point in the
paper that is attacked and defended
with the most vigor is the sentiment ex-
pressed concerning the discussion of
prohibition in the pulpit.
Mr.. Griffith takes the ground that pro-
hibition is political subject and hence
is not a legitimate pulpit theme He ad-
mits, however, that temperance is NOR
al subject and is a legitimate pulpit
theme, but he draws a well defined line
between temperance and prohibition and
other political subjects.
Mr.. Griffith said:
The common custom of making the
pulpit platform for haranging all kinds
of political or semi political topics as
we'll az all other sensational particularly
in in the heat of a political campaign,
has served to degrade the ministry and
bring it into no small measure of con-
tempt in the eyes of intelligent people,
both within and without the fold of the
church"

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 5. Columbian Building.
1t has been a waiting market with no
news of particular interest, but the little
received, was of a bullish tendency.
Receipts at primary markets were but
1000 and shipments 10000 bushels.
Exports were about 100000 bushels.
The cash here continues excel
lent and several cargoes would
have been worked if the elevator
people had been willing to sell
at the nominal price. 1t looks as if
cash, May and July wheat might all be
selling at the same price in this market
within month The market has been
dull all day, the disposition to wait for
the government report this afternoon
checking business.
Corn and oats rather more active with
an easier feeling, but sustained later by
strength in provision receipts of corn,
continue light and clearances light. Oats
quiet but firm.
Provisions were very strong, especial
ly in pork, and as predicted in our letter
yesterday, secured a good advance.
Armour and the packers have about
all the shoe string followers shaken out
now, and we look for fancy prices on
pork, and advise buying on weak spots.

why ThOs. Heery Was Made Plumbing
Inspector at Osawatomie-
AL Mooney of the Cooperative Steam
and Plumbing company says his partner,
Thos. Heery, was appointed inspector of
plumbing at the Osawatomie asylum be-
fore the old board of public works ad-
journed at his request because rs Mr.
Mooney explained, he knew Mike Heery
would refuse to appoint his son to a
position of that kind if it came up before
the new board.
Mr.. Mooney says his firm was asked to
bid on the Osawatomie work but did not
as they decided they could make more
money by having one member of the
firm appointed inspector. The plumbing
inspector gets 81 a day for his services
and the job will last most of the summer.
The entire plumbing and heating con-
tract at Osawatomie is estimated at about
$11,00 the plumbing contract has been
let, but the new board of public works
will let the contract for the heating ap-
paratus.
