With Those who Have Gone Before.

A person travelling in distant lands
strongly desires communication with
those left behind. Likewise, do those who
have passed out from the mortal body
desire, earnestly. to open communication
with friends left in earth life. It is upon
this fact OF human affection that spirit
ualism is built Evidence Of its consol-
ing and elevating truth is given us in
various ways. A prevalent opinion IS that
all connected with spirit is supernatural.
which is the reverse Of the truth. Many
methods are employed by spirits now TO
commune with their mortal friends.
Among the most important and sadsfac-
tory is direct talking, as manifested fn
the trumpet seance. That the people Of
this city may have an opportunity TO
receive direct and positive evidence OF
the continuity OF life and that their
spirit friends can and will talk direct 20
them. F. o. Thompson, president of the
wichita Harrponical society. announces
that a medium has been engaged who
will be here during March and hold two
public seances each Sunday and one each
Thursday evening. ct which public notice

DIR SWEENEY,S LECTURE


The lecture given at the Central Chris

Sweeney was one of the best talks ever
heard in this city. He has been here be-

spoke for two hours and fifteen minutes
on the subject OF The Golden Age and
kept the audience in continual uproar.
Although he IS a very humorous speaker,
the greater part of his lecture was of

Further, we declare thatthe Beers pre-

Considering the above, we declare that
the resolutions of sympathy should not

lain is right in looking to America for
approval of the course OF Great Britain.

pointed committee, do hereby attach our
signatures.

MANY EXCUSES FOR MARRYING
As Related by Victims Who Have

A party of inquiring mind recently
sent out postal cards to a number of
married men with the inquiry why
did you marry? The replies are COM
ing in, and few are here given:
''That's what I've been trying for
eleven years to find OUT"
Married to get even with her moth
er, but never have.
Because Sarah told me five other
young men had proposed to her."
Because was too lazy to work"
''The old man thought eight years
counting was long enough"

and wanted some one to make me live
iy. N. B.-She makes me very live
ly."
ST was tired of buying ice cream and
candies and going to theatres and
church, and wanted rest.
"Have saved money"
"Please don't stir me up.
Because thought she was one
among a thousand; now I sometimes
think she is thousand among one.
ST think it was because I was cross
eyed; now 1 am afflicted with two pairs
of cross-eyes daily"
because I did not have the expe-
rience have now"
"The governor was going to give me
his foot, so I took his daughters
hand"
ST thought it would be cheaper than
breach of promise suit"
'"rhat's the same fool question that
my friends and neighbors ask me"
because I had more money than I
knew what to do with. Now I have
more to do than I have money to do
with"

posite sex. P. S.-She is still oppo.

could take the benefit of her name

"Have exhausted all the figures in
the arithmetic to find an answer to

CANDIDATES ALL ON HAND.
Desperate Fight Will Be Made or
Governor Beckham.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 1S.-The dele
gates are not all here for the Demo
cratic state convention, but the candi-
dates and their workers are on hand.
A large delegation of state officials and
others came with Governor Beckham
from Frankfort, while the friends or
McCreary, Black. Tarvin, Lewis, Smith,
Garnett and Pryor are also here. Judge
Black has the most aggressive anti
Beckham delegations here for him.
1t is thought that Beckham VIII have
less trouble with the contests before the
committee on credentials and with both
the temporary and the permanent or
ganization of the convention than he
will have with the committee on resolu-
tons. The platform will be adopted
before the nomination for governor is
made, and if the plank on the modifica-
ton OF the Goebel election law is not
satisfactory there may be movement
on the floor of the convention Co change
it. If minority report on resolutions
is adopted over the majority report that
the Beckham men expect to submit. then
the field of candidates against Beckham
will make q desperate fight.
