DIVISION THREATENED.
in Reference to the Mar
riage of Divorced People Threatens
to Create Serious Trouble.

The General Convention of the Episco-
pal Church, now in session in Washing
ton, is experiencing considerable diff
Guilty in accepting the changes in the
laws and canons submitted by the joint
commission, for their approval. The
canon referring to the re-marriage of di-
vorced people threatens to-disrupt the
church, and hot contest is now on.
Bishop Henry G. Potter, of New York,
is leading the opposition and expressed
himself as follows:
The amendment to the canon on mar
riage and divorce proposed to this con-
vention is in line with common sense,
Christianity, conscience and human
nature. The canon, as proposed by the
Joint Commission is reactionary, extreme
-mediaeval. 1t will place a stigma
upon members at present in the church,
and will keep people out of the faith. 1t
would be ex post facto in its moral effects,
and is revolving to the conscience as
promoting celibacy.
The amended canon ia cl,ampioned by
Bishop Doane, OF Albany, and the con-
test is close, although the opposition has
slightly the better of the situation in the
Upper House, having majority of one
in its favor
The fate of the amended section of the
canon is in doubt and the fight will be
closed.
The section which is the bone of con-
tention is as follows:
Sec. 81 No minister OF this church
shall solemnize the marriage of either
party to divorce during the lifetime of
the other party.
The canon, as il reads now without
the amendment, allows the minister to
remarry the innocent party in divorce
proceeding.

The opportunities of the public at
large to vote for the man of their choice
for United States Senator are con-
spicuous for their absence.
The Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express their opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the in
terests of the Diamond State in the
councils Of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any state within the history of the ma
tion.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head of this
column and send it to The Sun. We pub
lish the number of votes received by
each candidate every day in order to
keep the voters posted.
THE Sun also makes this offer. The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the state to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
THE Sun.
The contest will continue until the

There is no law or requirement which
makes it necec9ary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
Just the same, however, if you do not
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
500 for some deserving charity.

HE WANTED TO DIE.
Geo. g. Ferguson of lola, Prevented
From Committing Suicide.

Kansas City, Mo, May 30.-G. @.
Ferguson, who claims that he is an ex-
preacher of the gospel, politician and
lecturer from PaoIa, Kan, was taken
into custody yesterday morning by Pa
trolman Younger in. Kansas City, Kan,
while in the act of jumping into the
Kaw river from the James street
bridge. 1t is believed that he is SUI
fering from temporary insanity.
When arrested Ferguson was stand
ing on a pier of the James street bridge
as if contemplating a leap into the
muddy waters below. Officer Younger
noticed the queer actions of the man
and he FASTENED to where he was
standing. He caught him by the arm
and then pulled him unto the bridge.
Ferguson pleaded with the policeman
to permit him to commit suicide by
jumping into the river but the officer
refused to grant the request. Pinned
to the lapel of Ferguson's coat was a
piece of paper bearing the following:
1.-The cane is for my boy. God help
us all. I cannot make it have
thought of this for months. Somebody
else can do better for my family than
1 can. I do not fear to go before my
Father in heaven. Good-by, all. G. G.
Ferguson man lied about church mem
bers.''
The police claim there is no doubt
that Ferguson is temporarily insane
He will be detained by the Kansas
City, Kan, authorities until word can

Newton. May 9O--From present indi-
cations it seems certain that extreme
ly high wages will be paid in this vi
cinity for farm hands during the har-
vest season.
Farmers in the northern part of this
county are already trying to contract
with men and teams to assist them
during harvest. The farmers are offer
ing 81 per day for a man with team
and have not been able to secure many.
Some of the farmers have a standing
offer of $3.50 a day for harvest hands,
but the men are holding out for still
higher wages. Some of the farmers
say that the wages of harvest hands
may go as high as So day and Sc
day for a man with team.
Rev. H. E. Purle of Pawnee Rock
was in the city today and says that the
wheat in Barton county will be the
largest in years.
He says that the farmers are offering
So SO a day for harvest hands and in
some cases are paying So. He says
there will not be half enough men to
harvest the crop.

DEFENDS HIS SON.
Ed Little's Father Talks of the Lieu
tenant ColonePs Horse.

Abilene, May 30.-Persistent slurring,
on the part of local paper, against Ed.
Little's horse, has caused the father of
the lieutenant colonel to come to the
defense of his son with the following:
1.-THE Little family pride themselves,
somewhat, upon their horse lore, as
to the proper qualifications for a good
horse He was selected by a party
whom I consider the best judge of a
horse, saddle and bit, within my know
edge and Ed. could have sold him for
more than double what he cost him.
HE is a Denmark saddle bred, with
pedigree of fourteen generations, 15A
hands high, weighs over 100 pounds,
sound as a diamond, black as the mid
night storm. A rapid walker. a single
footer, his gallop is perfection, changes
his gaits at signal of the hand or touch

is fleet of limb and sure of foot, proud
as the peacock, gentle as the sigh of

a Kansas soldier. May he bear my boy

COPPERHEADS AGAIN.
Charles stradley of Sumner County,
First Victim of Snake Bite.

Winfield, May 3O-Chas StradIey, a
young farmer in the employ of Geo.
Honnold, living over on Silver creek,
about eleven miles from town, was bit
ten on the hand by a copperhead snake
Friday afternoon. He was brought to
town as quickly as possible by Mr..
Honno1d and placed in the care of Drs.
Emerson and Jacobus. When he got
to town he was dead drunk, having
swallowed three pints of whisky on
the way to town. He had never tasted
whisky before and this of itself made
him deathly sick. Between two and
three ounces of blood were pumped
from the wound and other means taken
to counterfeit the poison and he was
put to bed. He was unconscious until
near midnight and then he was restless
the balance of the night. He was feel
ing better this morning, complaining
only of sickness at the stomach which
might have been the result of the
whisky as much as the snake bite.
He was helping tear down an old corn
crib and put his hand under the edge
to pick up some corn when the snake
struck him. He regrets as much as
anything else that the snake was not
killed.

BROOM FACTORY.
After Syracuse, N. z.
Industry.

Hutchinson. May 3o.-If the right
kind of shipping rates could be secured
it is quite probable that the Onondago
Whisk Broom works of Syracuse, New
York, would be moved to Hutchinson.
This is the factory which has been US
ing large quantities of broom corn
from this section of country, and to
which the great broom corn train which
passed through here last year was
destined. Mr.. Shepard of this factory
is in the city and has carefully consid-
cred the step of moving the factory
west. The move, as considered by
him, would pay providing a low enough
shipping rate could be secured from the
roads, but would not be possible other
wise.
The factory as conducted at SYRIA
cuse is a mammoth affair, having
capacity of fifty gross per day. Other
Kansas cities have made good offers to
secure the factory but Hutchinson has
the favorite location. If the rate
question is satisfactorily settled and
the factory moved west its location will
be Hutchinson. 1t is an important
question to this city, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that affairs will shape
themselves satisfactorily for securing
the factory.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Although SO years have elapsed since
the close of the war between the states,
1t is unlikely that Memorial Day has

by the nation less than three months
ago. On February Is the number of

Perhaps few persons dropped flowers
on the graves of departed heroes to-
day, who did not mentally pay tribute
to the martyrs of the battIeship Maine
who sleep beneath Florida sands in
graves uncared for and almost unmark-

go out to them with no less loyalty
than to those who fell at Gettysburg,
Lookout Mountain and Shiloh.
The feeling of sadness aroused by the
memories stirred into life today is in
tensified by the probability that when
next Memorial Day rolls around there
may be many fresh graves on which to
strew flowers, not only here but in for
eign lands-graves in which will lie
