SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of The EN-
oU1RER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
Just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Tom Broxton comes to Broxton Hall
from college, having been summoned to
his father, who is dying. Mr.. Matthews,
Toms guardian, passing Mother Spill
mans cottage. drops bag of papers. The
next morning Matthews comes to look for
one of the papers which have been lost.
He does not find it. but Jimmy Martin, q
gardener, soon afie brings it to Mother
Spillman, She pledges Martin to secrecy
and hides the paper in the back OF an old
chair. Tom Broxton visits the room in
which his father lies, finds some flowers
on an easel and among them an unfin-
ished letter from his father to himself.
Through ground glass doors he sees hg--
ure tampering with the papers contained
in his fathers desk. Before he can enter
the room the figure disappears. Approach
ing his fathers body lying in his coffin,
Tom looks for seal ring worn on the mn
ger, but it is not there. Olivia Matthews
arranges with her father for garden par
ty at Broxton Hall on her eighteenth
birthday. Her father, riding past the
Hall, stops there and sees the mysterious
figure standing over Colonel Broxton's
desk. After the lawn party Tom Brox-
ton and his guardian sit at the Hall talking
about it, and Mr.. Matthews proposes that
Tom, after being graduated at college,
shall 90 abroad to study and declares that
the Hall must be sold, to both of which
propositions Pom demurs. Mother Spill
man cautions Tom against his guardian,
but fails to convince him. Olivia rides
out with Clarence Westover on horseback.
Tom goes to the Hall, where he finds
Olivia, who has been thrown from her
horse, and carries her into the house. She
is not severely injured. The party remain
at the Hall. At midnight scream is
heard. 1t has come from Olivia, who has
seen the mysterious figure standing over
Colonel Broxton's desk. Two years
elapse. Broxton Hall is sold to the West
overs. Tom BroXton is studying abroad.
He writes to Olivia declaring his love for
her. His guardian writes him that his
estate has been lost, and Olivia writes him
that She is engaged to Clarence w estover.
Mr.. Matthews study is burned under
suspicious circumstances, and all his pa
pers destroyed, including those pertain
ing to the Broxton estate. Tom Broxton
returns from abroad and settles in the
the west to practice his profession. Mr..
Matthews is taken i'll. Olivia visits the
room where her father lies. Half con-
scious, she sees Mother" Spillman,
whom she recognizes as the figure she had
seen standing over Colonel Broxton's
desk, bending over her father and accus-
ing him of having stolen the Broxton es-
tate. Olivia visits the Spillman cottage,
where she finds that "Mother" Spillman
has just died.

SMALL OIL MILLs.-One of the most

SMALL OIL MILLs.-One of the most
promising of all industrial developments
of the south is the establishment of in
dividual or neighhorbood cotton oil
mills to consume the cotton seed pro.
duced in the immediate vicinity. These
neiphborhood cotton mills have proved
very successful wherever they have
heen built. The writer calls to mind
one such mill owned and operated by
the planters themselves that pays div
idend of from 20 TO 25 per cent annu-
ally. This mill only consumes the cot
ton seed that may he hauled to it in
wagons. 1t is kept in operation scar
cely two months during the year, yet
every planter who has stock in the mill
gets an annual dividend of 800 TO $25
on each 500 worth of stock that he
owns. In addition to this profit, he gets
good prices for his cotton seed without
shipping it, and he is able to provide
himself with cheap oilcake and hulls
for his cattle during the winter.-At,

Charleston Exposition In 1901.

An enthusiastic meeting Of Charles
tonians was held in Thomson's audito-
rum last Thursdays night to consider
the idea of an exposition in 1901. The
people were right in for the idea. 1t
was announced that 100000 had al
ready been subscribed. and it was con-
fdently predicted that at least $780,
900 could be raised without difficulty.

INGALLS, 0N SHELDON.
The Famous Politician Attacks the Work
of the Topeka Preacher.

of the Topeka Preacher.
The initial number of the Kansas
Knocker, magazine published by J.F.
FARRELL and Myron A. Waterman, local
newspaper men, contains an article by
John J. Ingalls on "The Jesus Busi-
ness" 1t follows:
II knock on this Jesus business, and
knock hard. / belong to no church and
subscribe to no creed but believe in
God and Immortality and that we shall
reap what we sow here and hereafter.
II recognize religion as prodigious
force in human affairs and Christianity
as one of its most impressive manifes-
tations. While other religions are older
and have endured longer and have
more followers, none has exerted such
immense influence upon government,
society and civilization. Its sanction
rests entirely upon the example and
teachings of Jesus, for whom theolog-
ians claim much more than he ever
claimed for himself.
"He was born. He had no education.
His life to the age of 80 was passed in
manual labor. His associates, male and
female, were ignorant and obscure. His
public career was less than three years.
He wrote nothing. He wandered about
in fields, among the mountains and by
the sea talking famiiarly 10 his COM
panions, to chance acquaintances and
al picnics and camp meetings. His re-
corded acts and words would not fill
five newspaper columns, and were not
collected till many years after his
death.
"Whatever opinion may be held as to
his divinity, he is one of the colossal fig
ures of history. Plate and Herod and
Caesar, the kings and heroes and philos-
ophers of that time are nothing. No
one cares that they lived or died, but
millions now would rather die than
surrender their faith in Jesus.
What Jesus would do were he in
Kansas today can best be determined
by considering what he did when he
was in Nazareth and Capernaum 1900
years ago. He attended strictly to his
own business. He did not meddle in
other peoples affairs. He only sought
to establish spiritual kingdom, and
his empire was in the hearts of men.
"He told his followers to render unto
Caesar the things that were Cesar's.
He neither bought nor sold nor inter-
Tered in politics. He said that all men
were brothers, that God was their
father, and that they should do as they
would be done by.
Ecclesiastical mountebanks who are
directly responsible for the blasphem-
Gus buffoonery of asking how Jesus
would shave if he were barber !; what
he would do if he had headache
how be would run daily newspaper;
how he would act if he were in Gener-
al Buffers place in South Africa, are
iDficting irreparable injury upon the
cause of religion. They make joke
of the passion of the Garden of Geth-
semane and cast contempt upon the
agony of Calvary.
at would be no greater sacrilege to
ask what God would do. 1t is desc
crating,the greatest name in the worlds
registration. 1t is trihing with the
most awful mystery of the universe"

GREAT DEMAND FOR STOCKERS
Commission Yards Rushed to Supply
the Orders

The demand for stockers and feeders at
the stock yards in this city is so great
that the commission men are unable TO
keep up with their orders, which come
not alone from this county. but flcm
Butler, Sumner and other surrounding
counties
The commission men say that the far
mers and stock men of this county are
stocking their ranches with we'll bred
animals and are having trouble in secur-
ing enough. They are looking to this
city as the source of supply and are
leaving heavy orders here for one, two
and three-year-olG cattle.
THE stock men Of this county," said
commission man yesterday, are branch
ing out heavily and buying many cattle
Notwithstanding all that has been said
TO the contrary, nearly all the money
needed to purchase the stock was OBJ
tanned from men in this city. It is true
that the cattle men and farmers in the
surrounding counties look elsewhere for
the greater part Of the money, yet they
take every opportunity offered to place
their loans here. 1t is simply matter
of time until Wichita becomes a great
stocker and feeder market. It is situated
right for distributing point, especially
for native stock. The bankers and inan-
cial men Of this city are beginning to
realize that there is no better investment
than good cattle paper. and I lock for
heavy increase Of this business here in
the near future.
I'VE have here one Of the finest stock
wards in the west and facilities for hand

NOT WORTH SEEING
Commissioner Allison Says
Paris Exposition
WILL NOT BE COMPLETE
Before June First-EngIand is
Not Interested in the Fair.

James Allison, who is now in Paris as
one Of the United States commissioners.
is not at this time particularly enjoying
MS visit. He says that not more than
half the buildings on the exposition
grounds are finished, and that the exhib-
its viii not be in place before the first Of
June. The fair Will be great, one Of the
greatest ever given. he thinks, when it IS
complete, but financially not a success.
England, one Of the greatest nations Of
the world, has very few exhibits. and is
sending nobody to see the fair. This lack
Of interest by an adjoining nation Mr.. Al
Ison thinks will greatly affect the gen.
eraI attendance, In letter to Mr.. George
Dickson, Mr.. Allison says:
Paris, France, April Eve have been
in Paris ten days. It seems a month.
The fair was formally opened April Il
but it is not worth going to see yet. The
exhibits will not be in place before June
L The attendance was very large for a
day or two. but is now very small. not
more than one half OF the buildings be-
ing completed. While the fair will, with
out any doubt, be the finest ever given
to the world. It is extremely doubtful
whether it Will be a financial success.
Paris is very much lacking in means of
transportation. II has one small tram
road that carry passengers TO the fair.
The driver can take a portion OF those
who live on the Seine The balance VIII
have 10 go in cabs and hacks or omni-
buses. The cabs and hacks charge two
or three prices. The hotels are charging
two prices. This kind Of extortion with
poor service will keep money people away
England IS taking no interest in the ex-
hibits. Their building is a small affair
The United States has $50 exhibits; Eng
land only 70o We have almost ten to
their one. English people are not coming
here with any interest. and, being a great
nation adjoining France, and taking no
in the fair, it will have depressing infu-
ence on the general attendance. 1t is es-
timated than not more than 10000 people
from the United States can attend this
fair on account of the lini ted transporta-
ton by vessels.
England is takngh er merchant ma
rine to use in the South African war, and
this lowers the carrying capacity on the
ocean less than usual

BUILD MORE ROOMS
Board of Directors Decide TO
Enlarge ChiIdren's Home.
TO EXTEND EAST WING
Eleven Years Since Institution
Was Founded.

The board Of directors for the Children's
home held a meeting yesterday at which
IT was decided to build an addition to the
building For some time there have been
more children in need of home than
there has been room for, and it has be-
come absolutely necessary that more
rooms and better accommodations should
be provided.
The addition will be an extension Of the
east wing. On the ground moor there will
be a dining room, matron's dining room
and bath room. And on the upper floor
there will be a domItory and hospital
ward. The board has been contemplat-
ing the building for some time. but it was
thought that the old building was not
good enough. However, when the build
ing was carefully inspected, it was found
that by making some slight repairs on
the foundations it could be put in good
shape
The home was founded about eleven
years ago. II was first located on enn-
syIvania avenue in the first block north
of Douglas. II remained in this building
for about two years and then was moved
TO the present building on College, Hill.
There are nineteen rooms in ;his build
ing. but some Of them are small and the
new addition viii largely increase the
floor space- Two large poarches will also
be added.
At present there are nineteen children
being cared for at the home. and this
number is all that can be Accommodated
The main OBJECT Of the institution was To
take care Of homeless children until q
good home could be found for them, but
children, whose mothers are obliged TO
work and have not the time 70 take care
of them, may be sent to the home and

about the English lord who came over
