The Money for BIoodshed,

1t is perhaps no eXaggeration to say
that the amount of hard cash now re-
served by the various Governments In
view of possible outbreak of war eX-
ceeds rather than falls short of $780,
100000, which would not under any
circumstances be parted with, even for
the most temporary object. 1t does not
require much investigation TO prove
that the outcome of this must be any
thing but beneficial
The miser who boards his gold in
jures others as we'll as himself, just
as landowner who deliberately per-
mits his broad acres to lie waste is in
flicting n blow upon the community
which might live and thrive upon the
produce of the soil For the greater
part Of the last twenty years first one
nation and then another has played
the part Of the miser, and laid a greedy
hold upon treasure which should have
been allowed to circulate and increase
MANIFOLD the wealth of those through
whose hands it passed. Nor could this
have happened at more unfortunate
time; for while the output of silver in
creased by leaps and bounds, that of
gold fell away rapidly.
The gigantic efforts made to convert
Europe into an armed camp have i'm
pOverished the people, not merely by
demanding their labor, which would
have been more profitably employed
in filling the ground and tending the
mill or the loom, but by heaping upon
them an almost unbearable burden of
taxation, which they are so much the
less able to meet. While this state of
things continues, and these war chests
are being added to, there can be little
hope Of any relief.-Chambers' Journal.

KANSAS CHURCH AFFAIRS.

The Christian church at Winfield
which was recently destroyed by fire, is
being rebuilt and when completed will
be one OF the finest and most beautiful
churches in the city.
At general meeting Of the jewish
congregation OF Leavenworth is was
decided to tear down the present syna-
gogue and erect new edifce on the
same site. Bids arc now being received
and plans submitted for the new struct-
ure. 1t is proposed to begin the work
at once, so as to have the new building
cumpleted by September 18th, the be-
ginning of the jewish new year.
At the meeting OF the Topeka presby-
terry at Kansas City, the Gardner,
Kan, church was granted $500 and the
Clinton, Kan, church $500, to liquidate
indebtedness on new church buildings.
The committee on publication and Sab
bath school work made a report through
its chairman which was adopted. A
call for the First Presbyterian church
of Kansas City, Kan, for the services
of DR.. Mendenhall was ordered placed
in his hands as soon as his credentials
arrived and he was enrolled as men,
Der of the Presbytery. Rev. f. H.
Boell announced that he had accepted a
call to the Riley Center, Kan, German
church. Rev. j. s. Glendening Of Dodge
City, Kan, was rendered and accepted
a call for pastoral services at North To
peka. Rev. Dr. Harsha was appointed to
instruct the session at Media, Kan,
church concerning the keeping of their
seasonal records. An invitation to meet
at the First Presbyterion church at To-
peka for the next regular session in o.
tober was accented.

As an example Of the possibilities of
q spirit of enterprise, when carried into
the domain of crime, the case of II. II.
Holmes, the insurance swindler, prom
ises to take conspicuous place In
criminal history. The ingenuity which
has marked this individuals efforts
was backed up by an energy which, in
better cause, might have won him
fame and fortune. Beginning his APP
premiership in crime when he was a
mere boy, he seems to have improved
every opportunity to acquire proficiency
in it. According to the reports now OBJ
tanned he began his remarkable career
by getting his life insured and then Sc
curing corpse and having 1t identified
as his own body. From this venture he
netted $12,500. The plan was so sue
cessful that Holmes secured an accom-.
plice and repeated it several times, OBJ
tanning considerable sums of money
with most Of the attempts. These bold

the career of the man now under arrest
in Philadelphia. He seems to have eX-
panded and developed his capacities
with every new crime performed until
he attained a skill which in other lines
of effort would be called genius His
swindling operations were us numerous
and as Enthusiastically novel as his means
of increasing his list of creditors. His
latest crime, the swindling Of life In
surance company by means of what
was probably bogus corpse, has mere
ly had the effect of raking up an entire
career Of criminal adventures ranging
all the way from petty swindling and
theft to large forgeries and more helm
Gus crimes. The various incidents con-
nected with his latest effort place him
under suspicion of murder. 1t will be a
strange and sensational story which
this case develops when 1t comes to
trial. 1t will be the story Of man who
not only seems to have done wrong as
a matter Of fixed policy and choice, but
who abetted his wrong doing with an
energy, shrewdness and imaginative
fertility which indicates real love for
the work.

KANSAS RAILRoADING.

Ell Dorado Republican,: A reporter
visited the Missouri Pacific shops and
found the men busily engaged. VIM.
Dunn, foreman of the locomotive depart
ment, showed us through the round
house, and we found part of the men
busy cleaning house and putting on
spring airs generally, while others were
repairing and preparing engines for
their runs. The round house was full
of engines and there were several in the
yards.
The general manager Of the B. & NJ,
after causing survey to be made for a
sidetrack to the Soldiers Orphans Home
at Atchison announced that he would not
put in track for the institution, as the
cost would amount to $4,000. This is
regarded as very unfortunate, as side
track to the home would be of great
value, especially during the erection OF
the buildings for which $91,80O was
appropriated by the legislature.
The citizens of Wichita, by George

A committee of the business men of
Atchison held a meeting and decided to
make an effort to induce the Burlington

service out OF Atchison. Receiver Todd
of the bridge company has offered the
Burlington, Rock Island and other
roads crossing the bridge an annual
rental of $1,000 each, and every CON-
pany will no doubt accept, provided ac-
ceptable terminal facilities can be Sc

The itock Island railroad has not lost
faith In the rain making theory Of @. B.

periments of last season were not SO

was closely contiguous and it, too, was
destroyed; most of the contents we're re-

Charles Kohlhoss, of Poolesville, Nd,
charges all his present woes to an adj
vertisement, and so does his wife. He
advertised mot wisely but too we'll"
His advertisement brought him wife,
and now she is trying to get rid of him.
The story would make first-class plot
for play, and we commend it to strug-
Cling young dramatists in search of
material. When Mrs Kohlhoss--good
name for farce-comedy, too-decided
that she had been married long enough
she consulted lawyer, who sent her a
letter giving her some advice. 1t so
happened that this letter fell into the
husbands hands and he unhesitatingly
opened and read it. This made Mrs.
Kohlhoss mad and she had her husband
arrested for opening a letter addressed
to her. The case came up in the United
States Court and Mr.. Kohlhoss' coun-
sci raised the point that the wife could
not testify against her husband. The
judge sustained the objection, and as
Mrs. Kohlhoss was the only witness
there was no evidence for the Jury to
consider and the case was thrown out
of court. There are complications and
situations enough for anything from a
one-act farce to six-act melodrama.
1t is essentially American, too. Now,
who will be the first to utilize 1t?

Womnn,s Duty.


Social reformers for hundreds Of
years have been telling us that all la
Dor is honorable; that the rich mans
son is not disgraced by toiling with his
hands. Woman is beginning to recog-
nize that there Is no sex in work, and
to demand that she be allowed by So
ciety to do whatever work her natural
abilities qualify her for. VIII she go
farther, and realize the whole truth,
that while there is no sex there are no
distinctions Of any kind in labor7 If
she insists upon the opening of new
fields, yet she must not desert and ne
glect the old. Her duty is the doing
Of that which she can do best, be it
housekeeping or law-making. There
are born housekeepers and born law
makers, and unless woman recognizes
that which man has failed to recog-
nize-that work well done, in whatever
field, is noble, the world will not gain
a great deal by "the emancipation Of
woman. -Womankind.

No Stu to Look Pretty.

A physician who ought to know says
that tub bath every day will ruin
womans nerves If continued for year.
We will not dispute his say but, indi-
vidually, will run the risk of having to
advertise for those essentially feminine
possessions in the lost and. found col.
umn, as so far we feel all right, and IL
our nerves are lost so much the better,
for every woman can get along much
better without them, anyway.
If there are those with whom a tub
bath does not agree the sponge is an
equivalent that can be recommended.
Make cleanliness n religion. 1t leads
to health and enhances physical beau
ty. Regard your body as the tenement
of a beautiful soul and make it as dec
oratlve as possible. There is no sin in
trying to look your best, but there is q
lot of good, hard common sense in 1t,
and the first step in that direction Is
through the medium of thorough tidi-
ness and an intimate acquaintance with
the purifying qualities of soap and
water.

The average clergyman Is not built
upon the proper plan for money
making man. He cannot make money
rapidly, and when he tries he com
mlts some serious blunder. That Is the
way it was with a clergyman from
Buffalo who went to New York to get
rich. He had been told to 20 there
and he could secure fortune in about
five minutes. He took with him $500
in good cash, which an accommodating
gentleman had promised to take in ex-
change for several thousand dollars
that looked just as good and would
pass anywhere" The accommodating
gentleman got the $500, and later the
clergyman went to the counsel for the
LeXow Committee and complained
that he had n package of tissue paper
that was Of no value whatever for
paying bills. He has now gone back
to Buffalo satisfied that there is moth
ing for clergymen In the "green goods"
business. Still he has excellent ma
terial for strong sermon If he cares
to use 1t.

Congressman Bellamy storer tells the
Associated Press that the two great
measures he is hopeful OF seeing passed
in the coming session Of Congress are
the Nicaragua canal bill and the bill
permitting railway pooling. Mr.. Storer
would better restrain his hopes. If
Congress can pass no better measures
than those twain 1t would better pass
none. In n time OF confusion and strin-
gency Of the Government finances the
nation does not wish to load itself with
an expensive canal enterprise, and the
people have lately found enough flaws
and weaknesses lurking in the inter-
state commerce law to be doubly Will
ing now to surrender its single good
featurc-the anti-pooling clause.

INC people Of Minnesota arc moving

The people of Minnesota are moving,
like those of Iowa did a year ago, to
prohibit the so per cent. co-insrrance
clause In fire insurance. The insur-
ance companies in that State, as in
many others, attach clause in the pol
icy providing that unless the insured
carries policies covering at least so per
cent. Of the value of the property in
sured, in case Of loss he shall receive
only that proportion to the face of the
policy which the amount of the policy
bears to the per cent. In other words,
insurance becomes partner with the
insurance company so far as paying the
premium Is concerned, but there is n
discount on his dividends so far as the
profits are concerned. The great mass
of people do not look upon it as a fair
deal and there is likely to be considera-
BILE inhibitive legislation.

It's Most Economical.

In small house where pennies count
and life's problem seems difficult to
solve, with an ailing woman to do the
housework of the family, and no room
for girl, the most economical thing
to do is to hire the washing and iron
ing done out of the house. When you
come to count the pay and board for
service Of a girl who must always be
looked for, it amounts to a great deal,
but when you pay $1.50 week for
the laundering Of the clothes and have
it done out of the house the worst Of
the work is done, and no worry to you
and no great cost. Even if you have to
pay 80 cents more to get a woman to
come and do the sweeping and scrub
bling once week you come off winner.

he remains quiet everyday citizen,
his record appears clean, his character
blameless, and his integrity unim-

office and things will be dragged forth
from the dim past that he himself had
practically forgotten. They may have
occurred when he was o mere boy and
he Is now n man verging on the three

to the man Of vindictive memory, and
his victim finds out to his sorrow that
a man to enter public life has q thorny
path ahead of him.
AS with men so with women. Take
my lady with the social bee in her
bonnet. Her husband is wealthy, she
and he are possessed of all the evil
dences Of refinement. She Is a charm
ing hostess, and thoroughly well-sllill-
ed in the art of refined badinage that
has won for her the reputation of be-
ing a wit as well as a beauty. She is
getting on famously, her frocks are
described in the society journals, her
entertainments praised and her move
ments noted. She feels that she is on
the crest of the social wave until one
day she meets a friend--oh, misapplied
term-who loosely reminds her of
something she had tried to convince
herself was forgotten. 1t may be quite
unimportant in itself, but she knows
that 1t will never be repeated as it
actually existed, and from that mo-
men the woman with the good men,
DRY becomes the ghost at every feast,
the shadow that dims the sunlight of
her success.
Now why need people busy them
selves dragging up a lot of things that
do not concern them in the least? I'm
less they wish to acknowledge them
selves social blackmailers, of what
good is their superior knowledge? The
pleasant people are those with excel
lent forgeteries, not those of such mar
velous mental mirrors that they can
call up at minutes notice an exact
copy Of something that occurred doz-
ems Of years ago.
1t is good scheme to cultivate the
art Of letting the unpleasant things of
life slip out of ones mind, allowing
only the praiseworthy and the good to
remain. Think no evil and existence
will be ever so much more serene than
If you are continually busy digging
In the rag bag Of the past hoping to
unearth some treasure that can be
used to the discontinue of fellow
being.
