High Five Party.

Miss Josephine Dietrich entertained
four tables at progressive high five
last evening in honor of Miss Emma
Barber of Lawrence. Partners were
found in a very unique manner. One
room was darkened and a large paper
with holes cut for eyes, hung up in the
door and each young man in turn stood
behind this paper and the girls on the
lighted side guessed their partners by
their eyes.
refreshments were served at a long
table in the dining room which was
nghted with fancy lanterns. Miss Diet
Ttch's guests were Miss Emma Barber
OF Lawrence, Miss May Lang, Miss
Santa Waters, Miss Lillian Tefft. Miss

POLITELY BUT FIRMLY.
Senator Wolcott Will be Told That
He Can Now Go Home.

New York, Oct. S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The British governments answer to
the proposals of the United States and
France for bimetalliSm by internatiOn-
al agreement will probably be ready
within a fortnight. Possibly it VIII be
delivered even earlier, as there is evil
dence that the ministers are disturbed
by the prolOngatiOn of the controversy
over the monetary question in the press
and wish to put an end to it. Two
months ago they were strongly dispos-
ed TO make such concessions to the
United States and France as would
have enabled these powers to cOnvOke
a monetary conference.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach obtained
from the governor of the Bank of Eng
land a qualified assent to the cOnver-
sion into silver of one-fifth of the re-
serve for the redemption of the note
issue.
The Indian government was also con-
suited respecting the eXpediency OF re-
opening the mints to the free coinage
of silver. If the answer to that prOpO-
SitiOn had been as favorable as the re-
ply Of the governor of the Bank of
England on the minor point of a larger
use of silver in the reserves, Senator
WOlcott's mission would have been
completely successful in opening the
way for a new session of the confer
ence.
That answer has not yet been official
ly revealed, but it has been received in
London and is believed in diplomatic
circles to be unfavorable to re-opening
the Indian mintS.
Not one word of this has yet appear
ed in print and no official confirmation
of it can be obtained, but it is accurate
" reported among the best informed
fnanCiers that the Indian government
has advised against re-opening the
mintS. If this be true, and there are
strong reasons for believing that it is,
the ministers will not have the courage
to act against the advice of the Indian
government, but will summon the
French and American ambassadors
and the bimetallic ENJOYS without de-
lay and return a courteous but firm
answer to the proposals for an inter-
national agreement for the mainten-
2nce of the par value of gold and silver.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.
Tt is Uncertain Whether Corea's Rul-
er is King or Emperor.

Washington, Oct. S.-The Corean min
lister here has not been informed that
the King of COrea has proclaimed him
self Emperor and some doubt is ex-
pressed as to the report as it is
thought to be a step of which the le-
cation will be advised by cable The
change, if one has been made is felt
to be one of title and dignity, as it is
said the substitution of Emperor for
King would not entail any substantial
changes in the country. The countries
with which Corea has most to do-Chi-
ma, Japan and Russia, are empires.
The change in the title viii not make
any change in the method of address
sing him pursued by the department
of state, which uniformly has adopted
the native title and addresses the ruler
as Your Majesty TIA Cho Sen"
Whether this is equivalent to En-
peror or merely King is not known at
the department. If the title is really
to be raised, however, it is suggested
that it may mean more than appears
on the surface.

His reply was: AN answer to this

TEMPERANCE SUNDAY.
Sermons Wanted All Around on the
Third Sunday in October.


The following address to the churches
of Kansas was issued yesterday from the
headquarters OF the State Temperance
union:
The leading denominational bodies and
non-partisan organizations of the United
States have united in request that the
third Sabbath in October be observed
throughout the entire country as Temper
ance Sunday.
The executive committee of the Kan
sas State Temperance union heartily
joins in this request and would earnestly
but respectfully urge that the day be ap-
propriately observed in every church in
the state.
Let the temperance reform be remem-
bered in the prayers that are offered, and
let the necessity of attaining TO a higher
standard of Christian citizenship be en-
phasized from every pulpit. The fall
elections are at hand. and patriotism, as
well as morality and religion, requires
that the voter, regardless of party affiH-
alton, exercise the utmost care in his
choice of candidates.
A great awakening has already begun
to manifest itself throughout the entire
state, and if each individual church will
take it upon itself to keep the cause
prominently before the people of its own
community, this awakening will ere long
become an enthusiastic and widespread
temperance revival.
All Kansas papers in sympathy with
the cause of good citizenship are hereby
earnestly requested to copy this call.
Signed: Executive Committee State
Temperance Union.

LET'S JENNINGS OUT.
Possible That He Could Have
Been at the Chickasha Affair.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct Seattle in
sspectors at the Kansas City stockyards
say that A L. Jennings, the OllahO-
ma lawyer and politician, who has been
mentioned in several dispatches as the
leader of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific train robbery near Chickasha,
I. T., last Saturday was here with a
car load of cattle.
It is highly improbable, if not impos-
sible that Mr.. Jennings could have par
ticipated in the robbery, bought cattle
and brought them here in the short
time between the Chickasha affair and
his appearance in Kansas City.

and reiteration of one idea of dis quieting sort the cells of the brain are not proof against. It is as If the skull was laid bare and the surface of the brain struck lightly with hammer every few seconds, with mechanical percision, with never sign of let up or the failure of stroke.
 Just in this way does the annoying idea, the maddening thought that will not be done away with, strike or fall upon certain nerve cells never eeasing and week by week diminishing the vitality of these delicate organisms that are so minute that can only be seen under the microscope.

Worry as Bad as Disease.

Modern science has brought to light nothing more curiously interesting than the fact that worry will kill, says Pharmaceutical Products" More remarkable still it has been able to determine from recent discov cries just how worry does kill.
 It is believed by many scientists who have followed most carefully the growth of the science of the brain di- seases that scores of the deaths set down to other causes are due to worry and that alone. The theory is a sim pie one-so simple that any one can readily understand it. Briefly put. it amounts to this: Worry injures be- yond repair certain cells of tthe brain and the brain being the nutritive cen ter of the body, the other organs be- come gradually injured, or combina- ton of them, arises, death finally ensues.
 Thus does worry kill. 1nsiduously, like many another disease, it creeps upon the brain in the form of a single, constant, never-lost idea, and as the dropping of water over period of years will wear groove in a stone, so does worry gradually, imperceptibly, but no less surely, destroy the brain cells that lead all the rest-that are, so to speak, the commanding officers f .f&l.
 Worry, to make the theory still stronger, is an irritant at certain points, which produces little harm if it comes at intervals or irregularly Occasional worrying of the system the brain can cope with but the irritation
