WEDNESDAYS REPORT

London, Feb. Lord Roberts has
caused to be distributed in the towns
bordering upon the invaded colonial
territory an invitation to Free
Staters and Transvaalers to go into
the desert, Offering them good treat
ment and Il restoration to their farms
on the British occupation of repub-
lican territory. The manifesto guar
antees that those bringing horses
can sell them. Foreigners will have
their passage paid to Europe. Colo
nial rebels are advised to surrender in
preference 10 being taken prisoners.
Not a word has been received
from the correspondents with Gen
Butler for three days. 1t is as though
Natal had been wiped off the map, eN-
cepting the heliogram from Lady
smith saying that The Beers are can
nonading and that lighting is going
on"
Gen. Macdonald, with 1000 in
fantry, cavalry and artillery, threat
ems the Boer right at Magersfontein
This is the first sign of activity on the
part of Lord Methuen for some weeks
and doubtless has relation TO the
movements of the British further
east.
1t appears that Gen. French's visit
to Cape Town was to ask Lord Rob
erts for 1000 more meA. Whether he
got them is not disclosed. AS Lord
Roberts, since the battle of Spion
kop, has had 10000 fresh troops to
dispose, it is probable that some have
gone to Gen. Butler.
The World says it learns that Lord
Methuen has disbanded Remington's
scouts, one Of the most useful colonial
commands, because he had ascer-
tanned that some members of the
corps had been communicating with
the Beers.

New Masonic Building. &.

The building committee of the
Masonic lodge of Gola is working on
plans this week of its proposed build
ing to be erected west of l.. Sleeper's
building on west Jackson avenue.
Mr.. Sleeper will build the first floor,
one hundred and two feet front and
eighty feet deep, aud the Masons have
about decided to build the second
floor. This will give them very
handsome hall, with reception, ban
quet and lodge rooms, and their plans
call for an interior arrangement and
finish that will make the hall model
and one of the Iinest halls In the
State. The local chapter has thrived
greatly the past year and recently a

members seem to be enthusiastic to

EDITOR REGIsTER:

EDITOR REGISTERS:
Unuer the above heading an error
crept into your columns yesterday. i
am greatly rejoiced at the blessed
work being done by the self-sacTitic-
ing young ladies Of the Salvation
Army, ana the more pretentious work
of the DunkardArethren, but 1t did
not remain f0TVwo girls and mis-
slonary and his wife to show several
hundred members of strong estab-
iished churches that there was work
to be doI o right here in lOla,n etc.
For nearly two years the Home
Mission Circle of the Methodist Epis.
copAl church OF this city has been do
ing just what these good people have
at last come to help to do. AT the
time of their first annual report in
March last, this Home Mission Circle
reported the names of thirteen chill
dren in lola, and quite q number In
East lola whose names were not
secured, for whom they had secured
clothing, (some OF il new, some of 1t
made from new material, some of it
old y food aud books, and whom they
had kept in the public schools Of the
city, who otherwise could not have
attended.
These ladies have "visited the sick
and afflicted, carried food to the
hungry, found clothing for the naked
and shelter for the shelterless."
Their cash outlay reached more
figures than one. They secured old
clothing, cleaned and repaired it,
new goods from the kindly disposed
merchants, purchasing some stuff
which they made into new clothes,
and did many other things which
they thought Jesus would do II in
their places. They are still doing
these things quietly In the main, pre-.
ferring TO do their aims in secret.
am in a position to know and re-
port this work because | am the
pastor of one of the "big strong
churches" and the husband of the
woman who is president of the society
that is doing the work.
Faithfully,

GOOD ENOUGH A whole lot of
people will join with this paper in
being glad for the publication of an
article which called out a statement
of the highly creditabe facts pre-
sented above by Bro. Bruner. And
that fact incllnes the REGISTER to be
good deal less sorry for having done
an unintentional injustice than it
might otherwise have been. Now II
the pastors of all the other "big
strong churches" can make as good q
report next year--it would hardly be
fair to ask it this year-we will be
less sorry than ever for having writ
ten that article.

Almost Decapitated.

Saturday evening a man named
Charles Eyler, who was on the east
bound Santa Fe passenger, going from
Larned to his home in South Sloan,
O., to spend Christmas was crushed to-
death at the depot in this city. Eyler
was with two other men. and the trio.
had apparently been drinking. When
the passenger train stopped at Great
Bend the three men got out on the de-
pot platform. AS the train was slowly
moving out, Eyler made an attempt to
board it, but fell in front of the steps,
between them and the depot platform.

skull was crushed and he expired al.

the mothers work? If she be loving and
sympathetic in her nature and possess.
ed of true motherly instincts, it is not
strange; for with these qualities she
has also been given a knowledge of
child nature and of its needs. and been
inspired with the kindergarten spirit,
which IS something entirely outside
the experience and, as yet. unreached
by the everyday, unframed mother.
AS this spirit comes to promote So
ciety more and more, it will be recog-
n1zed that Frochbel's highest work
was his loving CO operation with the
mother in watching and controlling the
spiritual development of her child.
So the kindergarten is confering an
incalculable blessing upon the mothers
of the land, none the less valuable be-
cause it is not yet fully appreciated.
Dear baby, again look into my eyes.
While look into thine;
Together we'll spell Hfe's lesson out;

What Is the kindergarten to the Mother2
The question refers to the true
mother and not one who sends her
child to the kindergarten merely to be
rid of him for few hours.
But mothers, as rule. have most of
their time taken up in caring for the
bodies of their children. How rare a
thing it is to find an ideal mother. one
with time, means, the right knowledge
and consecrated will to prepare her
self thoroughly for her new duties, and
then with the strength and patience to
carry out her lofty designs. The
needs of the body must be looked after
and in the vast majority of cases, this
work is all that can be done at home,
except incidentally. before the children
arrive at school age. Here the kinder
garten comes to the mothers aid.
Here is place where the bodily car e
is not the chief thing, where the child
finds himself III the hands of those who
have been trained to see in him the
features of thinking responsible beingn
1t is thought strange that young girl
who, perhaps, never had even baby
brother or sister in her own home,
should, as kindergarten, be able to
take the mothers place and improve on
