"Another Sunday l was called to the
pulpit of the Central Presbyterian
church. This is a church with less than
six months existence a membership of
4JO and $780, in the treasury.

the Emanuel mission but refused it to
come to Topeka"
"Do you think you would care to live
in Los Angeles; or do you prefer Tope-
ka?"
''That is hard question. like both
and each has its advantages. That is as
much as l care to say at present
Los Angeles is having a wonderful
growth just now, and it appears of a sub
stantial nature. l priced some property,
too, and found it very reasonable.
81 took several baths in the ocean and
enjoyed it very much indeed The beach
was gay with bathe-s every day. I only
found one night that it proved too hot to-
sleep, and that was our first night in
Kansas coming home. It was warmer
than the MOjave desert.
81 will at once pick up the thread of
my work where 1 dropped it five weeks
ago and deliver a sermon at the First
Presbyterian church on Sunday.

to last, and in hearty accord with the
platforms of the Kansas and national
conventions of the party. The address
will meet with the earnest and cordial
approval of the great majority of the
Republicans Of Kansas. Our party is
solemnly pledged to both silver and gold
as units of value, and this question can
not be dismissed by glittering generali-
ties, nor will the mass Of Republican vo-
tiers lay aside their political convictions
or trample under foot the Republican
platforms of the past Of the dictation of
men who regard the Bank of England
as of more importance than the people
of the United States, and look upon
Cleveland as a better Republican than
either Garfield or Blaine"
E. A. AGRELIUs.
E. A. Agrelius, cashier of the Farmers
state bank of Lindsborg, in long letter
full of good. earnest, patriotic senti-
ments, says: 'Y our address is good. In
Saline and Mcpherson counties farm
lands have decreased in value over forty
per cent, with the best soil and crops to
be found. If bankers in Kansas con-
suited their own best interests they
would all be for free coinage, as
it would strengthen their securities
aud prevent much of their losses they
will have to sustain if they continue the
business under the single gold standard.
The Republican party must act in this
matter. The incentive is great and if
any voter fails to act with all the vigor
and power he has, he is derelict in his
duty to self, family, friends and his cOun-
try. And he who allows any party which
dares not come out boldly and unequivo-
cally on this subject to longer lead him
by the nose is less than man."

DIR. ANDERSON RETURNS.
He Spent Five Weeks in California and

Rev. S. B. Anderson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, has returned from
his long visit to the Pacific coast
1t has been just five weeks since Mr..
and Mrs. Anderson took the train for Los
Angeles, Cal, and the rain that thew en-
countered was the very first they had
seen since their departure. While

derson on the front porch, many friends
paused in passing to express pleasure at
his return.
Mr.. Alderson's complexion bore that
clear, healthy appearance, that is oftener
acquired at the seashore than elsewhere.

oranges going to waste, so plentiful that

KANSAS NEWSPAPERS.

Ninety for tho Restoration of Silver, FL
For the Single Gold Standard.
Secretary HOrnaday sent out request
about a week ago asking editors of Re-
publican papers in Kansas to answer
three questions touching the monetary
problem. The first was, Are you for a
single gold Standard" The second was,
ssAre you for a bimetallic standard, re-
CARELESS of international agreement, and
Unrestricted coinage?" The third was,
"Are you for bimetallic standard con.
fined to the American output of silver ?"
Already returns have been received
from 122, and every mail is increasing
this number. OF these 81 are for gold,
OF so called sound money"
There are a round dozen who have not
vet been able to discover Just where
they are at, but eleven of these are
forninst the gold standard There are
thirty-one for the unlimited free coinage
of silver, Independent of the rest of the
world, fifty one desire the coinage of
the American output, while seven are
for both these silver propositions-even
willing to start with the coin
age of the American output if
they can not get anything better.
Thus it will be seen that total OF
80 are for the restoration of silver as pri
mary money, and a possible 20 are for
the single gold standard of the Roths-
childs.
Among the Republican champions
of Cleveland's monetary ideas are
the Newton Republican, Topeka

Leagues Eeing Formed over the State in
Large Numbers.

Leagues Befng Formed over the State In
Large Numbers
The executive committee of the State
Republican Silver league have pre-
pared and are now sending to all who
apply, brief plan for organizing all Re
publicans who believe in the restoration
of silver to its constitutional position as
primary money, where it stood prior to
February IL, 1873
Some of these have been ont nearly a
week and already good reports are COM
ing, although the season and the busy
situation of the voters in all parts of the
state are very unfavorable for any active
work in this direction for a few weeks
yet. 1t is the design of the state
league to organize to the end
that all Republicans who think
alike on this question shall
be able to act alike and in unison at the
primaries of the party and at the polls
in the selection of reliable and trust
worthy persons as representatives to all
party councils, conventions and repre-
sentative bodies.
In this manner it is proposed to pro-
cure clear. plain, direct and unequivocal
platform declarations, and later the
enactment Of laws restoring silver as
primary money. The plan of or
Canizing these sub-leagues is
very simple and will prove most
effective for the purposes designed, and
all persons who are opposed to a single
gold standard and favor the restoration
Of silver, are eligible to mem bership.
Any person in any part of the state who
may be interested in this method of
working within the ranks of the Repub-
lican party, should apply to w. II Hor-
naday, Topeka, the state secretary, who
will give all necessary Instructions

LAST OF TINE GYMsAsIUM.
The Building in the Rear of the Old
Warren Club Raced to the Ground.


Warren Club Raced to the Ground.
The gymnasium in the rear of the build
ing formerly owned by the Warren Club,
at No. SO5 West street, has been torn down
and the material will be used in the con-
struction of dwelling which will occury
part of the lot. The new building, for
which excavations have commenced, faces
on Washington street, and the lot runs
back to about half way of the gymnasium,
making the removal of at least half of the
structure necessary. As the other half
would be useless, it was found necessary to
obliterate the entire building, and the
work of tearing it down was completed
Thursday afternoon.
The gymnasium was erected for the
Warren Club about four years ago and
during the existence of the organization il
was made use of continually. 1t was
large and afforded an athletic room such
as was not equaled anywhere else in the
state. IL was the intention of the club to
lit 1t up as first-class gymnasium, but the
misfortunes which overlook the organiza-
ton prevented the purchase of larapher-
malta that would have made it such. How
ever, the club already owned a great deal
or material of that kind, which was put
IN and used to the best advantage A
stage was located in the centre of the
room, where glove and wrestling contests
were of frequent occurrence.
The disappearance of the building now
almost precludes any possibility of the
club being recognized, at least to ary
great extent

Princess Mercedes of Spain, who is
now in her 18th year, enjoys the alto
gether exceptional distinction, for SO
young girl, of being an ex-Queen.
Her little brother, tho present King of
Spain, was not born until over six
months after the death of his father, the
late King Alfonso XII, and during
those six months Marie de las Mercedes
held the rank Of Queen OF Spain. On
the appearance Of her baby brother she
was obliged to atep down from the
throne and surrender the title Of Queen
and of Majesty, assuming in their stead
that of Princess Of the Asturias. The
title Prince or Princess of the Asturias
Is invariably borne by the heir apparent
to the throne, just in the same way us
the title of Prince of Wales is borne by
the eldest son Of the ruler of Great
Britain. Princess Mercedes is very
clever little girl, with all the self.pos-
session, the gravity and the sedateness

gesture of wiring the neck of fowl, he
said:

UNDERWRITING ACE


The Republican First District Committee
attempts to Purge Itself of Primary
Election Law Violations.
The Republican First district committee
met Thursday when the reports on coun-
cilmanic nominations, already published,
were formally made. Nomination cleo.
tiOns for Council were ordered in the Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards
tomorrow. voting to be from to Z p. M.
The returns will be received at head
quarters, northwest corner Seventh and
Market streets.
When regular business was over reports
we're a1ked from the various ward COM
mittees when, in reply, the assertion was
made that all the election officers had been
sworn in Saturday last, and that poll lists
and tally sheets were produced and used
in all the wards but the Tenth.
These last statements published Friday
morning have caused general smile ali
over town and also some very emphatic
comment In several instances the asser.
tons are fatty denied. 1t is openly stated
there was no tally sheet used and that nc
effort was made to check off at the close OF
election the number of ballots deposited
in the ballot box as against the alleged list
said to have been kept Of the names of the
voters as they came IN and deposited their
ballots
