RETURNS FROM ENGLAND.
Parsons Man Has a Thrilling Voyage
Over Fire.

Parsons, Aug. 81. J. Allen was in
the city yesterday on his way home
from the Worlds Sunday School con-
VentiOn at London, England. He also
spent a few days in Paris after the con-
vention, the entire trip occupying be-
tween five and six weeks time.
On the way over he experienced a lit
tie more excitement than on the aver
age voyage, for when the vessel was in
mid-ocean the cargo, which consisted of
cotton, was discovered to be on fire one
night and it took a number of hours of
hard work by the entire crew to ex-
tinguish it. The steamer also passed
very close to a number of icebergs, hav-
ing several in sight at one time.

You can prove anything with figures.
Dave Leahy says: William A. White
OF the Emporia Gazette still refuses to
stand up for Kansas. He is trying to
prove that the Leedy administration
drove $4,000 people out of Kansas. He
says the births in a state the size of
Kansas average $4,000 more than the
deaths, and hence that a =. 900 increase
is, in reality, a $4,000 loss. William
should turn the leaves of his statistics
back few pages and see that during
hIorrilIs first year the population of
Kansas decreased over 1000. Accord
ing to his own logic, the Morrill, ad-
ministratiOn drove 81. 900 out of Kansas.
or $4,000 more than Leedy's."
