GOV. STANLEY SPEAKS
To the z. M. G. A. Workers, at the
Coates House, in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Jan. "a The first BAN
quet of the Kansas City Y. M. c. A.
was held at the Coates house last night
Governor Stanley of Kansas, who has
been a worker in the association for
twenty years, and who was president
of the Wichita association when the
handsome building was erected there,
was the guest of honor He addressed
the banqueters on the growth and de-
velopment of the young man.
Three or four times his address was
interrupted by loud and long continued
applause. He talked quietly but i'm
pressively. Governor Stanley said:
THE subject of growth and develop
ment of any kind is a very interesting
subject to me and always has been. I
remember when I was a little boy and
went for the first time into the woods
and looked at the great oak that grew
there. 1 was told how the mighty tree
had grown from the acorn and it was
all very wonderful to me. 1t seemed
to me a very weak start for anything
so great and strong. But I've learned
since that that is the way all things
that are great are made The start may
be small, but the development is mighty
and in the right direction. The great
Teacher of all the world, when He want
ed to make His thoughts plain to men,
took a little flower for his illustration,
Behold the lilies of the field -
Types of strength and models of de-
velopment. Governor Stanley said. had
been the subjects of mythology and his
tory ever since the world began. Her
cules and Achilles and their deeds of
might and valor had been the inspira-
ton of mems earliest songs.
I'm all ages said the governor, 1.-The
world has paid the highest homage to
physical prowesS. What a grand thing
it is to see a young man so completely
knit in muscle and fibre and sinew that
he commends himself to us as one fully
prepared to fight Iife's battles. And yet
this is the lowest form of development.
1t is natures development But there
is the grander, higher development of
the intellect.
Just as the electric current runs
through the wire, so the thought of
trained intellects is running through all
the vast business OF this world, today.

What does physical development mean?
1t means strength. What does intel
Iectual development mean? 1t means
strength. And both Of these combined
mean power.
After dwelling for awhile on the great
force the man in the prime of intellect
ual and physical development is capable
of exerting, the speaker said:
He may be power for evil as we'll
as a power for good. He is like the on
rushing engine that the misplaced
ter-then, the very power that drives
it on is its own instrument of destruc-
ton
Il understand it to be the purpose of
the YoungMen' sChristian association to
take this power pent up in the young
man and send it forth in the right di-
rection. The need of the world today
is for young men of this sort-we need
more honesty and fidelity, more strength

As a nation, Governor Stanley thought
the United States was growing in physi-
cal development, but back in moral de-
velOpment. 1t was too much the custom
for one generation to set up a standard
for the next in morality. Even the
church, he declared, was holding too
closely to its own ideas of morality
rather than to that standard that came
out of Judea 1,S00 years ago to the
great standard for all ages and all time

the right according to the honest, con-
scientious promptings of their own souls

differences.

discord everywhere. Paderewski has

shall have such harmony in our lives.

RUINED BY PRISON LABOR.
The Hickory Broom Fibre Co. Goes
Into Bankruptcy.

New York, Jan. PA petition in in
voluntary bankruptcy has been filed
against the Hickory Broom Fibre COM
pany. The company was incorporated
in November, 1894, and had a factory
at Huntsville, Ala. H. NJ. Liver was
president and ]. D. Miller treasurer.
The company was engaged in extensive
manufacture of brooms, woodward and
wood fibre materials. 1t was organized
for the purpose of supplying large cities
with street cleaning apparatus made
from hickory wood and fibre and the
company's trouble was caused by var
ious state prisons engaging in the man
ufacture of the same kind of goods and
putting them on the market under the
convict labor system. The liabilities are
large. The assets consist of patents and
machinery for manufacturing purposes,
but no definite value of the assets can
be given at present.

& Whipple, architects and builders,
have filed a petition in bankruptcy. The
firms liabilities are $1O6, 673 principally
contracted in 1891, and no assets.

Corn is Worth as Much in Kan
sas as Chicago.
Consequently the Railroads Are
Shipping Little Grain
OUT OFTHE STATENOW
More Cattle Being Fed in Kansas
This Winter
Than Ever Before, Says f. c.
Gay of the Santa Fe.

General Freight Agent F. c. Gay of
the Santa Fe is authority for the state
ment that there are more cattle being
fed in Kansas this winter than any win
ter in the history of the state.
AS a result Kansas corn is worth as
much at home as it is on the Chicago
market, and practically no corn is leav-
ing the state. The product is worth five
cents more in Kansas than it is in Ne
braska.
The cattle now on feed in Kansas are
scattered over the entire state. Large
herds have been shipped in from Texas.
New Mexico, Colorado. Montana and
Wyoming, and besides the herds several
thousand head are owned in small
punches by Kansas farmers who this
winter for the first time in a number of
years have been able to buy cattle to
feed for several months and ship to
market in the spring. Two years ago
the big corn crop attracted an immense
herd of cattle to Kansas for winter
feeding. Last year the winter herd in
the state was larger still than the year
before. This winter, Mr.. Gay says, there
are between 200 900 and 3O0,0 900 more cat
tie in Kansas than there was a year
ago.
The enormous feeding process will
have a result of cons nerable bearing on
the interests of the state. Next spring
there will be no further supply of corn
in Kansas. The cribs that follow the
Kansas lines of railroads for miles and
have stood at least partially filled, for
the past two years, as well as the cribs
of individual farmers, will be empty.
Kansas will be in readiness for another
great corn crop the coming summer.
In consequence of the corn remaining
in the state the freight earnings of the
Kansas railroads show decrease IN
grain shipments. However, this de-
crease is more than accounted for in the
shipments of live stock. 1t will be fur
Their accounted for when the cattle now
in feed are shipped into market in the
spring. The railroads anticipate rush
of livestock from Kansas into the KAN
sas City and Chicago markets. and it is
believed that all lines will be taxed to
their utmost for awhile at least in
handling the shipments.

BEAT THE PROPHET.
He Is Set Upon and Thrust Into the
Street While Making Up
Death List

prophet Meir Goodman, who created so
much excitement last week in predicting
the death of Israel Block, visited William
Faerger who is sick with the grip. A
number of Faerger's friends were present,
several of whom were included in his
death list.
His entrance created a stir among the

date of whose death is set for June Is,
and whose child died on the date fixed,
nearly tainted.
Some of the sterner nerved of the party;
after moments pause, broke the spell
by falling upon the prophet, beating him
and thrusting him out into the street, but
ouently there is a good deal of anxiety
among those who were present
