COST HIM HIS PULPIT.
Kansas Pastor in Montreal Refused to
Pray for Britons.

Montreal, Quebec, June 2O.-A sensa-
ton has been caused in Montreal church
circles by the resignation of Rev. Allan
Murrmann as pastor of the Zion Con-
gregational church, one of the leading
churches in Montreal.
Mr.. Murrmann is an American citizen
from Kansas and the principal cause of
his resignation is that he refuses to
make a practice of praying for Queen
Victoria and absolutely refused to pray
for the success of British arms in South
Africa.
Some time ago Mr.. Murrmann was
waited upon by the trustees and told
that he was driving away the congre-
cation because he did not pray for the
queen.
The pastor replied that while he was
willing to pray for the queen occasion
ally he would not make it a practice to
pray for any sovereign. He explained
that when the United States was at war
he had not made it a practice to pray
for the president. AS to praying for
the success of British arms, Mr.. MUIR
mann said he would never do so, and
as the trustees were obstinate he re-
signed.
He was ordained to the ministry in
Kansas and was pastor of the Congre-
gational church at Grand Junction, Col.
for some time. About fifteen months
ago he became pastor of the Zion Con-
gregational church in this city.

NORTH AMERICAN TURNER'S
Spirited Debate Over the Misunder-
standing With Milwaukee.

Philadelphia, June 20.-With Tues
days session of the North American
Turner bund. the programme of the
twenty-eighth national festival was
formally begun The early session was
devoted largely to routine business
There was a spirited debate over the
proposed annullment OF the contract
existing between the teachers seminary
and the German-E English academy of
Milwaukee and the executive commit
tee of the national organization. It was
voted, therefore, by the convention to
annul this understanding and to give
to the executive committee the power
of drawing up a permanent contract of
such a nature as to further the inter-
.ests of the school.
The convention was still considering
the platform at hour of adjournment
late last night. It required consider
bic amendment on account of DO
Htical planks inserted by the socialist
element. Clauses committing the ol.gani-
cation to support the Socialist Democ-
racy were eliminated and a substitute
adopted placing the society in a POI
sition of absolute neutrality as regards
politics Admission of women was left
optional with individual societies.
Turner's to the number of about 1000
arrived to participate in gymnastic
events attending the golden Jubilee of
the Turner bund. which follows the
convention. Among the cities repre-
scented are ST. Louis, Detroit, Milwau
kee, Denver, Leadville, Chicago. Pitts
burg, New York, and Topeka

MAKES IT PAY.
An Alleged Bishop Who Is Having
an Easy Time.

Inquiries have been received by the
police from parties in Abilene who seem
anxious to know something of the man
who goes by the name of Bishop" J.
Van Rosen of the Dunkard church of
Royal Russia 1t appears that the
bishop" has tried to work the Dunk
ards in several localities. but seems to
have done little better than get ahead
of a board bin. He was among the
Dunkards in Osawl5ie, Enid, Okla, and
in several other Dunkard settlements,
but they did not take kindly to his diff
ferent schemes.
The last inquiry comes from a man
in Abilene who says he is financially
interested in learning where the bishop
is located and what his past record
is. The letter says that the bishop went
to Abilene and succeeded in getting a
real estate man to get for him options
on land where he intended locating a
Dunkard COLONY After staying there
some time he left. He was in Topeka
for several months. and left without
paying his board bill.

WORTH MORE THAN FARMS.
Wheat Crop More Valuable Than
Land on Which 1t Grows.

Major Frank L. Brown of Kingman
who is in Topeka today says that not
half has been told concerning the Won
derful Kansas wheat crop.
There has never been anything like
it in our part of the country" said
Major Brown today. Il can only speak
of Harper Sedgwick, Kingman, Reno
and Pratt but in those counties the
yield will be unprecedented.
AT 60 cents per bushel, which is the
price at which the wheat will sell to
start with there are many farms which
will produce a. crop of wheat this sea-
son which will be worth more than the
farm would sell for after the crop is
removed"
