simply appalling. But they must not

given to Lord Balfour of Burleigh's S
commission as to the art with which
one class of homes had been laid out.

been so cunningly planned as to baf-
fie all effective control on the part OF
the police. In that respect the place
was unrivalled, but that only applied

BOTKIN'S CASE.
The Conference at Wichita Are
Considering 1t.
He Left His Charge in the Mid
die
OF CONFERENCE YEAR,
Which is Considered a Serious
Offense.
Barney Kelly Did 1t, Too, But
With Impunity.

WICHITA, March 27.-There is consid-
cradle politics in the present meeting of
the Southwest Kansas Methodist church
The conference is discussing the drop
ping of the Rev. J. D. Botkin, who h a
turned Populist agitator. The specific
charge against him is that he resigned
the pastorate of his church at Yelling
ton in the middle of the conference year,
leaving it without preacher
Rev. J. d. Botkin is conceded to be
one of the brightest ministers in the
state of Kansas, but fortunately or un-
fortunately he has got into politics just
like Barney Kelly and N. E. Harmon
with this exception, Kelly and Harmon
are Republicans while Botkin is Pop
ulist. This conference, however, may
consider that it is a good deal worse to
be Populist politician than to be Re-
publican politician.
In the fall of 1889, in the middle of the
conference year, Barney Kelly resigned
the presiding eldership of the Emporia
district TO accept the pension agency at
Topeka under the Harrison administra-
ton at salary of four thousand dollars
year. From that time to the present
he has been one of the most active Re-
publican campaigners in the state of
Kansas. He boasts that he has made
more speeches and travelled more miles
than any other Republican campaIgner
in the state, and no well informed person
in Kansas politics would like TO risk his
reputation for truth and veracity by say
ing that BSrney had not spoken longer
and louder than any of the faithful
What did the South Kansas confer
ence do with Barney? Why all that time
it carried him in the supernumary rela-
ton and never once told Brother Kelly
to go to preaching or get up and dust
out of the conference. The conference
even did better than that for Barney;
it placed him on the superanuuated list
two years ago and last week the South
ern Kansas conference made him ''effec-
tive'' and appointed him presiding elder
of the Independence district, the highest
honor in the gift of that body.
Now, here comes in more politics. The
PopuIists of the Third congressional dis
trict want Botkin to be their candidate for
congress, and of course Mr. Botkin wants
to hold his relationship in the church, be-
cause he is q Methodist as we'll as a Pop
ulist. If the conference refuses TO con-
tinue him in the supernumerary relation
he cannot run for congress unless he
If the conference refuses to continue
BOtkin in his present relations it will
mean that a man cannot be Populist con-
gresham and Methodist minister at the
same time. 1t will not mean, however,
that he cannot be Republican office
holder and Republican campaigner and
a Methodist minister at one and the same
time.

Digestion.
Careful observation in many cases of

errors.
In other words, during the prevalence
of La Grippe, persons who suffer from
Indigestion or stomach troubles are al
most invariably victims of the epidemic.
This can be readily understood when
you remember that the germs of any dis
