arising from the liquor traffic, the confer
ence should not impose disabilities on
those who sell drink which should not
apply to those who buy and use it.

FROM SAN JUAN NO WICHITA
Button Taken From Blouse of Dead
HOY in RIuR

During the past week a gentleman in this
city received from friends in the south a
regulation button, which has the insignia
of a spread eagle and American shield
The button was cut from the b,ouse of a
dead boy in blue" who fell near the last
blockhouse that was taken on San Juan
hill, Santiago de Cuba. The button was
cut from the boys blouse by Sergeant
Frank Ridgely, G troop, Ninth United
States cavalry. Ridgely was afterward
wounded and removed to the hospital. and
then brought back to Fort Mcpherson,
Georgia, where the gift was transferred to
Sergeant Hosmer who afterward parted
with the button, giving it to a friend at
Nashville. Tenn, who gave it 10 its pres
ent owner.
The significance is only in the fact that
the button had once been on a garment
that was worn by a United States soldier
in the Spanish-American war, that met his
death on Cuban soil, and after passing
through the hands of several persons has
found its way to this city where it wiz
probably remain forever in the possession
Of its present owner

AN ACROSTIC: WICHITA

While I watch the falling raindrops,
In this dUsky eventide,
Comes a longing Ger my spirit
Hopeless longing--to abide
In that land where zephyrs kiss thee.
There, where billiards nearly miss thee,
And where the kansas Nile" doth glide.
Windy Wonder" thou vast christened,
In the sport of idle jest;
Called thee. then. the Peerless Princess
Hiding in the far-off west.
! would crown thee Queen of Wonders,
Throned where nature never plumbers,
And where her plains are flower dressed.
Where mute, eyeless life IS sporting
In the lakes that near thee sleep.
Caring not for storm. or sunshine,
Happy creatures of the deep!
In thy subterranean Railways,
There. thick darkness reigneth always,
And sightless forms their vigils keep.

During the long fight TO escape con-
viction Luetgert spent every cent Of
money he had. His sausage factory
was sold. and the money left after a
mortgage was satisfied went to pay
lawyers fees and the expenses Of ex-
pert witnesses. All through the trou.
BILE the sausage maker had three good
friends. the Englishman. William
Charles, who had worked for him. and
his two big dogs. Charles stood by

"A CRIME AGAINST CHRIST"
Cardinal Gibbons DenOunces the
Sloane Belmont Divorce
Marriage.

Baltimore, May 7.-Cardlnal
Gibbons, in the course of Ills SER
mon at the cathedral today on
the unity of the church charact-
erized the recent divorce and
marriage of society lady in New
York, as a crime against Christ.
His emiuence said: "Consider
the pontiff In relation to King
Henry the Eighth. who asked for
the pope ) sanction to a divorce
80 that he might marry again.
The pope refused to give it, say
ing Whom God hath joined to-
eether let not man put asunder."
Only few days ago the country
was shocked at a woman in high
life who was divorced at 3 O'Clock
and married again almost before
the ink was dry on the divorce
papers. This is a crime against
tie law of Jesus Christ.
THE church is one In its teach
ings. 1t is the same in France
England, Italy. San Francisco, on
the Pacific, and New York, on
tho Atlantic. All proclaim the
same doctrine. one faith, one
hope, one baptism and one Lord
God grant that you may not be
contented to be united TO the
church, but to the spirit. God
grant that all may be living
branches and bear fruit"
