one who failed to be enlightened by
her talk cannot lay the blame to this
gifted selfsacrificing woman. Truely
she will have her reward. There are
missionary societies in China and at a
meeting they value it great privi-
lege to be present. OF the $4,000
christian Chinese they contribute for
the advancement of the work in their
own country an average of 80 cents
per capita, and the majority of the
christians are very poor.
The Annual Address by the Presi-
dent was full of good thought.
Mrs. G. j. Nugent delivered an adj
dress which was complimented very
highly. Each of the these talented
women delivered their addresses with
power. They will appear in subse-
quent issues of the ADVOCATE
A good meeting all day Monday,
strictly of a business character. Miss
Bruce delivered a lecture on Brazil.
She made her points well, much to
the delight of her large audience.
These Cody women will have their
rewards. Our people opened their
home to the delegates and right roy
ally they are being entertained.

never was there time that she was
not ready and anxious TO do work for

gave herself to the Master and faith
fully she has lived. Her neighbors
loved her and she was the idol of her
home. She desired to live to see her
sons, five young men. following her
savior, but when she knew the time
had cone for her to depart she was
resigned and hers was triumphant

BASEBALL.

Topeka came out victor in a contest
yesterday which was anybody's game
until the last. Switzer was not in form
and Riester was substituted after the
third inning. Emporia jabbed his
straight balls hard, but usually at a
fielder and this made pretty playing.
Six of the hits made by Emporia were
off Riester and five off Switzer.
Drummer made an average player UNI
pire.
The same teams play today and to-
morrow. Augusta is slated to twirl for
Topeka today, while the two star pitch
ers of the two teams, Drummer and Roy
Evans, will probably be the attraction
for Saturday crowd.
The attendance yesterday was quite
heavy, and a large crowd should greet
the game Saturday as the teams are
playing great ball. The score:

An Unpleasant Sight for Men Who Want
to Respect the Bench.
Judge W. o. Bashore of Pratt was in
the city on Saturday on visit to Judge
Mckay and other friends says the An
thony Bulletin. Judge Bashore is one
of the men who was legislated out of Of
fee by the last Legislature and he pro-
poses to make a test case OF it if he can
get it before the supreme court of the
state.
His salary stops with the expirati on of
his term in January of next year, but his
judicial duties cease in October this year
and Judge Mckay is supposed to occupy
the bench in that district after that time.
The question is a complicated one and
and should be settled if possible before
the election this fall.
We rather imagine that the court will
hold that as the legislature has the Gre
ating it also has the destroying power
and that Judge Bashore and his fellows
will be ornamental judges until January

WANTS AN ENCAMPMENT.
Col. j. w. T. Hughes is Planning for ON
This Fall.

Major General ]. w. F. Hughes of the
Kansas National guard is now trying to
arrange for state encampment of the
Kansas National guard to be held in
Topeka this fall.
To STATE JOURNAL reporter General
Hughes said. "The only thing standing
in the way of a state encampment is the
money to pay the expense and l am now
trying to arrange to get this money out
of a certain appropriation.
"My idea is that we shall have the
state encampment here at the fair
grounds and have everything free to the
public 1 am opposed to the idea of
charging admission to see the drills and
camp life of the troops
~If We have an encampment at all
every military company in the state
will be in attendance.
In addition to the state encampment
which General Hughes is now working
for the school of instruction for the off,
cers of the guard is to be held at Fort
LeavenwoTth and will be conducted by a
regular army officer.

Chief of Police Massey was seen today
and asked about the condition of things
in the city:
"In accordance with the orders of the
board, l have closed every saloon in the
city, But of course in town of this
size where secret places are numerous
and in the suburbs where weeds are high

four boys dead drunk in the weeds on

the summary closing of the saloons
"Officers on their beat also noticed
that at the restaurants customers yester-
day pulled out pint bottles of what look
ed like whisky and passed them around
as appetizers prior to eating their din
ners. There is no appreciable difference
in the amount of drunkenness observed
except in the case of the boys mentioned
and few old soakers whom the saloons
have boycotted in the past.
"By the way, since I carried out the
orders of the board, many good and
prominent men have criticised the
course of the officials, while not one man
good or bad has said an encouraging
word to me or to any of my force"

E. A. Austin will make test& of
the discovery he has made about the

is correct and it has been sustained by

the foreclosures made may be set aside.
Austin's point is that a written appear

As most of the mortgages have been
