Birthday Sermon.

Rev. VIM. Long, the venerable ME-
minister, preached an interesting ser'
mon at the NJ. E. church Thursday
night, in commemoration of the seth
anniversary Of his birth. The audi
ence was not as large as was expected
ou account of the oppressive weather
and the threatening elements.
Rev. Long took for his text, "He
that believeth in the Son Of God
shall have everlasting life," and
preached an interesting sermon, show
ing the divinity Of Christ and tho Ger.
tainty of mans salvation through
him. Although Sc years of aye, Rev.
Long has seemingly lost none of his
force and logic Of speech. His audi
ence that night was entertained as
well as instructed and benefited by
his remarks.
August 10, Rev. Long and his esti-
mable wife will celebrate at the Me.
church their golden wedding ami,
versary, having lived together in hap
piness fifty years. Their friends will
no doubt turn out in large numbers
and honor them as they deserve.

Sumner county paid out s6,Sl1.02
for the Sumner county high school
during the last school year. That
was probably good investment. We
are in favor Of educating the young
people and giving them chance to
keep even with the progress of the
age. Now we would like to see the
powers that be redeem their promise
to build bridge over the Arkansas
south Of Mulvane. That promise was
a positive agreement on the part Of
the commissioners, and it antedates
the high school enterprise. The public
road on the south side OF the river
was secured on the strength of the
pledge to build the bridge, and all
things are now ready. There is a
large neighbOrhood across the river,
within a few miles of this city, who
have to travel three times as far to
get here as they would If the bridge
was built. These are all prosperous
farmers and they all pay tax to sup
port the high school, replace the
movable bridge on the Ninnescah and
build bridges on Slate creek -.Mulvane

A Caldwell Hero.

A special from Topeka to the Kan
saS City Times Thursday says: "Cor.
pOral John D. Rhodes of Troop D,
Rough Riders, whose name has been
called tothe attention of the secretary
of war in a dispatch from Colonel
Roosevelt, on account Of great gal
lantry at the battle of La Quasina, is
a Kansas boy. He was born in Cald-
well and grew almost to manhood In
that town. His youth was spent in
an atmosphere that was laden with
the scent Of powder and he heard bul.
lets whiz long before Santiago had
been heard of by the average Kansan.
The well remembered day that Talbot
killed the mayor Of Caldwell, Mike
Meagher, sixty-f1ve men with Win
chesters participated for over an hour
in the fight. John Rhodes was then
barefooted boy and he ran down
town to see the fight. He watched
the fight as fearlessly as if he was a
veteran. One Of the participants, who
is now prominent citizen of Okla
homa, found himself target for the
famous Talbot, and knowing that the
latter generally drew a deadly bead,
picked up little Johnny Rhodes and
held him before him as shield. Tai
bot wouldn't shoot a boy and he
turned his aim in another direction.
At the next shot Mike Meagher fell
dead. In a dozen scenes like this
Johnny Rhodes learned not to be
afraid Of whizzing bullets Rhodes is
son of Abraham Rhodes, who died
near HenneSsy few years ago. Abe
Rhodes was one of the first residents
OF Caldwell, and in the wild days Of
the cowboy he was justice OF the peace
OF that town. He raised a family Of
girls and boys and, although all of
them were brought up in a rough
town, they were children of great
moral character. The girls, who were
all good looking, and their graces
were recognized by all, married well,
most OF them to men connected with
the large cattle interests that -four
ished at that time. The oldest girl
married Cash HOllister, who, while
acting as deputy United States mar.
shal, was killed by Bob Cross near
Hunnewell in the early days. The
Widow Hollister, one of the most mild
little women imaginable, took up q
claim near Hennessy when Oklahoma
opened and proved up on it by nurs-
ing the sick. Some ordinary charac.
ters, two or three land sharks, jumped
her claim, but one morning she went
out with the rifle of her murdered
husband and fairly shot them off her
property. Such was the sister of the
young hero of La QuasiDa. A more
gentle or charming little woman does
not live In Oklahoma, and the claim
she so ably defended has made her a
comparatively rich woman. 1t adjoins
the city Of Hennessy. In the fight at
La Quasina John was badly wounded
and taken to the rear for surgical
treatment. He wanted to fight some
more, and when night came he stole
out Of the hospital and walked eleven
miles to join his comrades at the front.
At daybreak he presented himself to
his captain and was arrested for leav.
ing the hospital. The affair came to
the attention of Colonel Roosevelt,
who upon inquiry, complimented the
heroism Of the young man, ordered
his released, and in his official report
OF the fight called the attention Of
the secretary Of war to the bravery
and heroism of the Kansas boy from
Oklahoma"

City's Funds Missing.

San Francisco, April 21--Augustus C.
Widber, treasurer of the city and coun-
ty of San Francisco, is accused of hav-
ing embezzled $3.50, 900 of the municipal
funds. The suspicion of other civic of
fcials that something was amiss in the
treasury department was aroused Tues
day night, and Wednesday Mayor Phe-
Ian and Auditor Broderick began an
investigation, which resulted in some
startling discoveries. The sealed bags
OF gold in the city treasurer's vault had
been surreptitiously opened. Care had
been taken not to break the seals, but
the string had been deftly cut and gold
extracted and silver inserted, to leave
the weight of the bags unchanged.
Then the coin sacks had been fastened
and the several ends of the string con-
cealed in the natural folds of the can
vas bags.

Capt. Gen. BIanco's Appeal.

Havana, April 22.-Capt. Gen. Blanco
has issued stirring appeal to the i'm
hahitants of Cuba to fight for the honor
of Spain. The manifesto scores the
United States and hurls defiance. 1t
says that Spain accepts the grave stu
alton. Blanco says the people will
never yield to strangers nor consent
to see Spain's rights trampled upon by
nobodies. If the United States wants
the island of Cuba let them come and
take it. Perhaps the hour is not far
distant in which these Carthagenians
of America will find their Zama in this
island of Cuba, which Spain discovered,
peopled and civilized, and which will
never be anything but Spanish" The
address created great enthusiasm
among the residents. Great crowds in
the streets shouted forth their approx
al and declared they were willing to
shed their last drop of blood FOR their
country.

Hendaye, Spanish Frontier, April %.
Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford, the Omitted
States minister to Spain, accompanied
by his staff and others, reached the
frontier at eight o'clock Friday morn
ing in safety after some exciting ex-
periences. At Valladolid the United
States minister's train was attacked
and stoned. Windows were broken
and the civil guards were compelled to
protect his carriage with drawn swords.
At Segovia the students of the military
college gathered on the platform, cheer
ing for Spain, and there were several
similar incidents at other stopping
places. 1t was a great relief to the min
listers party when the general finally
reached French soil. But Gen. Wood
ford personally seemed unconscious of
any danger.

to warlike use, such as church service and
musical instruments, household wares and
goods and other such like articles. and in
Guiding many that are purely mercantile
in character.
No article of merchandise is contraband
unless transported beyond the territorial
waters and jurisdiction OF a neutral state,
nor unless destined for an enemy port or
for enemy use or for an enemy ship upon
the high seas, which belligerent ships are
permitted to police in search of enemy ships
and contraband of war.
No final and exhaustive definition of con-
traband articles can be given. They are
Some articles were formerly contraband
which now are not; and the converse is
true. Each belligerent government is COM
petent to determine what it will treat as
contraband. It's prescription of contraband
articles is conclusive. If such prescription
should be made in outrageous disregard of
international law or of treaty rights, neu-
trail states affected would probably inter
pose. Neither belligerent can treat goods
as contraband in violation of his treaty
stipulations with a neutral power as re-
CARDS the subjects of that power. Anyone
desiring to ship goods to a foreign port in
neutral vessels would profitably consult
any existing treaties between Spain and the
government of that port.
London, April 23.-Spain, it is semi
officially announced, has declined to act
in conformity with the declaration of
Paris respecting neutral vessels and
