AT n meeting held last night after the
regular service at the Sumner Avenue
PRESBYTERIAN church between represen-
tatiyes from that church and the tlrst
CONGREGATIONAL church at Taylor, IL
was decided to unite the two churcheS
under one minister. The congregations
are not large and there seems no present
hope of life If both churches continue
separately. This matter of amaISdna-
ton has been discussed for many
months past.
Rev John Griniths was for a rev
years the pastor of the Sumner Avenue
church,. He endeaVOred to put the
church on healthy footing but IT
seemed Impossible to do so. Mr., Grlt-
fths resigned from the pastorate sew
eral months ago.
The Taylor congregation meets in
small building i'm the Taylor cemetery
ground. The Sumner avenue congrega-
tion meets in very pretty little build
ing on the avenue named. The ediilce
was dedicated about -four. years ago.

NATION SHIPS BUTTER.
The First Shipment of Butter to Eu-
rope by the Government Left
Yesterday.

Washington. May 6.-The first expert
mental expectation OF butter from this
country was made yesterday from New
York city by the government through an
agent sent by the agricultural interests.
1t is the first step in an effort of the
administration to extend materially the
market for American butter and gain
some of the trade with Great Britain in
particular, which Denmark practically
controls with considerable profit. An in
cidentaI object is to determine what i'm
provements are needed in transportation
facilities.
The butter sent yesterday comes from
the Iowa Agricultural college and a
creamery at Windsor, VT. Subsequent
shipments which will be made during the
summer at intervals will be of butter
from other sections. To build up a high
standard only the best grades will be
shipped and the butter will be sold at the
prevailing market prices The present
shipment goes among the shipped stores
of the steamer ST. Paul. and will be kept
at low temperature. The cargo is made
up of packages of different sizes to de-
ternine which is most satisfactory.

WANT DISPENsARY MONEY.
Salvation Army Hospital Asks for
SS5 a Month

The Salvation Army has asked the
city council TO give the Charity hOspi-
tai the $35 per month for a free dis
pensary which used to be given the
Kansas Medical college. but which has
since been discontinued. The city is
now without free dispensary except
as a small amount of medicine which
is given by City Physician Mitchell.
When the Kansas Medical college be
came financially independent of the city
the city discontinued the donation of
$35 a month for medicines. Now the
quest has been brought before the city
council. A petition is now being cir
culated among the business men and
has received many signers. 1t will be
presented to the council by the hOspi-
tai authorities in the interest of secur-
ing the dispensary
Since the establishment of the hospi-
tai in December last there have been
Al patients cared for. In all 1.O40 days
care have been given and the average
cost per patient is but so cents. Of
course the Salvation Army nurses do
not receive money for their services.
simply their board. Captain Hawk of
the Salvation Army said concerning the
request to the council: 1T would help
us much to have this. The medicines
would be given out by competent ply
sicians and would do more good there
than at a medical college. The bust
ness men and citizens seem to be much
in favor of the city establishing the
dispensary at our hospital and we hope
to get it"

TO DEDICATE THE CHURCH
First Christian Church to be Dedicat-
ed on Sunday Next.

Next Sunday the new First Christian
church edif1ce will be dedicated, elab-
crate preparations having been made
for the ceremonies.
The services will be held in the morn
ing and will be conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. D. D. Boyle. The dedicatory
sermon will be preached by the noted
divine and diplomat. Rev. z. T. Swee-
ney, LII. D., of Columbus. Ind
Ten years ago in May the First
Christian church was opened for serv-
ices. The small Sabbath school ROOM
which was built first, was made to
serve the purpose of an audience room,
and the church struggled on with the
hope of later building the handsome
structure which now ornaments the
block on Topeka avenue between Sixth
and Seventh streets
BY constant efforts and patience the
members worked to raise funds for the
building. They put in the foundation
and We're then unable to complete the
structure. By and by they secured
more funds and today the First Chris
tian church is one of the handsomest
structures in the city.
At the dedicatOry services there will
be special music and addresses and the
new building will be dedicated for the
work for which it was erected.

FARMERS TRUST A MYTH.
The Farmers Voice of Chicago Ex-
plodes the Whole Story.

,
Chicago, May 6.-The Farmers Voice
says today: Newspapers all over the
country have been publishing an utterly
unconditional story to the effect that
the farmers were forming a gigantic
trust in the nature of an oath-bound or
ganization whose object it was alleged
was to control the production and distribu-
ton of all agricultural products. The
scene of the earlier operations of this
mysterious combine was laid in New Jer-
sey, where the 'Agriculturists' Protec-
tive association had been duly incor-
pOrated.
Many of the leading farmers have writ
ten The Voice emphaticaHy asserting en-
tire ignorance of such a trust, and IN
dignantly protesting against the propos-
ed combine and its purposes. The score
tary of state of New Jersey in response
to an inquiry said: 4 have examined
the records of this office. and do not find
any corporation organized under the laws
of this state by the name of the .'Agri-
culturists' Protective association "
THAT is convincing enough. and it may
be added that there is no possibility of
such a trust in the future. for while there
are farmers who have no hesitancy in
forming into such combination. the
great mass of American agriculturists
are utterly opposed to trusts and com
bn-es. believing that the law of supply
and demand, if left to its perfect work.
will result in justice to all"

MRS. ASTOR'S ESCAPE.
She Had Left the Bazaar in Paris
Few Moments Before the Fire.

New York, May "a dispatch to the
Journal from Paris says:
There were very few Americans pres
ent in the bazaar at the time of the fire
and these seem to have been practically
favored by fortune.
Mrs. William Astor left the bazaar
quarter of an hour before the cOnfia-
grafton. Miss Fame, a sister of Fred
erick Fame, an American residing in the
Rue Prony, who is almost totally deaf
was in the center of the building when
the fire broke out.
Her escape was largely due to her in
trinity. She saw the fire without hear
ing the tumult ensuing on the discovery
and made her way to the exit, being
among the first to reach it.
Baroness de Selliere, formerly Mrs.
Livermore of New York, also reached
the door among the first.
Consul General Morss was passing
near the Rue Jena, riding an a bicycle,
when the cry of fire was raised. He
left the machine in the street and de-
voted himself all night to assisting the
firemen.
Mr.. Whitney of Boston, an old volun-
teer freInen, who is living in Paris, al
so assisted the firemen in the work of
resuce until day break.
When the Journal correspondent
reached the scene, Gen. Saussier mill
tary governor of Paris, with Gen. FeOr-
lar, was rushing about distracted and
calling for the premier to send for my
man" from Qau d Oreay barracks.
Look he said to Henry BlOunt,
1.-The American journals will have a
strange tale to tell of municipal negli-
gence, but let US help"
The catastrophe was a royalist he
catomb. One mystery is now cleared
up. The victims were besmeared with
flaming tar and other inflammab bic COM
pounds dropping from the roof, and this
was why there was no prelude of
asphyxia. The fair flower of French
womanhood was singed like poultry by
the licking flames and literally burned
alive.
