The grangers were slow during the morn

TO lose ground from the comparatively low
level OF last week. This, il was said. was
due to the lack of interest OF the public
and not to any disposition anywhere TO sell
them The grangers must be considered
among the best on the list, as far as their
legitimate intervention value is concerned,
at this level II is possible that they may
not be taken up actively by the specula-
tive contingent at present, but compared
with a large part of the list they are

corn makes them especially attractive at

Thorpe Will Be Sent to New York
State-Removal Is in Accordance
With q Plan Decided Upon
at the Hfawatha Com
ventiOn.

TOPEKA, April 9.-tSpecial) The first
step towards patching up the trouble
among the various Methodist churches of
this city was taken yesterday, when
Bishop Vincent notified DR.. E. L. Thorpe,
pastor Of the First NJ. E. church. that he
would be removed at once to New York
state where a charge was in waiting for
him The minister selected to fill his place
here is ]. T. Mcfarland, of New York.
The trouble among the Methodists here
grew out of the Embree difficulty. Rev.
DR.. Thorpe, of the First church, and the
Rev. Mr.. Coe, of the Oakland church, ar
rayed themselves against DR.. Embree, of
the North Topeka church. and attempted
to have the Hiawatla conference revoke
his license to preach.
1t developed that DE- Embree's friends in
Topeka among the Methodists were more
numerous than the friends of Thorpe and
Coe combined, and as a result the two
latter had their hands full taking care Of
themselves at the conference. The three
preachers were sent back-to their churches
here with the understanding that in due
time changes would be made to heal up the
under the arrangement.
The friends of DR.. Embree will insist on
him retaining his passionate of the North
Topeka church. IN all his troubles Dr. EN-
brees church stood behind him solidly,
while the congregations of the other two
churches were badly divided as a result of
the stand taken by their pastors.

LANSING, KAS., April 9-(Special.) Gov
ernor and Mrs. Stanley arrived from To-
peka at $50 Saturday night and were taken
to the penitentiary in the prison carriage.
This morning both Governor and Mrs.
Stanley attended services at the prison
chapel. Governor Stanley made short ad-
dress to the prisoners. This was followed
by an inspection of the prison. 1t was
Mrs. SANKEY'S first visit to the Institution.
They took dinner with Warden and Mrs.
Lands at noon. During the afternoon
numerous residents of Lansing called upon
the governor and his wife in the prison
parlors.
Governor Stanley's visit is said to have a
couble significance. He Is just now deeply
interested in the case Of Mrs. Amelia New
and George Dobbs. serving sentences for
the murder OF Joseph New, the confessions
Of Alvin Ballard having imputed the crime
to members Of the Allgood gang.
- In addition to this it is said that Governor
Stanley came here to instruct Warden
quires resignation when q change in ad-
ministration occurs. The governor and
Lands did have a private talk this after
noon, and II is possible that the advisable
ity of Lands resignation may have been
the subject Of the conversation. Nothing,
however. was given out, and to all appear.

Charles Dagenett, discipinarian of the Chill

a plan for an entire change in the system

schools has done much for the race, but
the government or the Indians themselves.
The plan proposed is to organize school
districts throughout the Indian Territory,
compel attendance by a rigid educational

ence Of school houses and education to the
Indians, rather than by sending them away
to get within this influence. will be a
