SCRAMBLE FOR DOLLARS
Alleged to Have Seriously Affected
the Work of Lutheran Church

Des Moines, Ia, June 3.-Prof E. J.
Wolfe. Of Gettysburg, Pa, created a
sensation in Lutheran synod today by
his report ON the condition of the church.
saying there was a woefu1 lack Of spir-
ituality and goodness in the denomina
tion that the fire of piety burned low.
He said our church has suffered, very
seriously from defective government
and as long as loud voices are heard for
ind1vidualism and unbridled liberty, as
long as the general good must be sub
ordinatetl* to the rights Of private judg
ment our progress must halt and our IN
situations languish. The love of many
for the church has grown cold. There
is no Disgusting the prevalent 1axity and
barrenness; the low estate of piety
among US. The scramble for dollars
leaves little time for the care of souls.
DR. A. H. Studebal1er of Brooklyn, de-
nounced the report as the most Disgrace
fu1 5eremiad he had ever heard, said it
did not in any manner reflect the spirit
or belief of the synod and after a hot
debate it was referred back to the COM
nittee for infringement, revision and re-
writing. leaving out the offensive parts.

themselves arrested.
The crowd of boys were swimming in
the river near some residences and when
the officers tried to arrest one of the
boys to make an example of him to the
others who are giving the police some
trouble, the other three. the police say,
began trying to help young Smith to
escape They kept running about the
officer and creating such an annoyance
that they were all taken to the station.

PORTER WILL RECOVER.
Man Who Fell From Third Floor Of
State House Improving.

It now seems likely that Charles
Porter, the co1ored man who fell from
the third floor to the basement of the
statehouse, will recover. He is at
Christ hospital. His leg was set on
Sunday.
Porter's skull was fractured by the
fail, but the doctors say that they think
he will survive even this injury. He
also suffered several severe scalp
wounds.
The accident happened in the north
wing Of the state house. There is an
area way there, extending from base
ment to third floor, which some day
will be occupied by q stairway Up on
the third floor a section of tile floor
was being laid over the area way.
Porter was on top of this tile floor,
tampine in the m ortar. The floor gave
way and Porter fell clear to the
ground, striking on several great iron
beams as he fell His escape from in
slant death was almost miraculous.
Porter has wife and FIVE children.
He lives at 1855 Lincoln street.

A KELLAM ANNIVERSARY.
The Book Concern Celebrates Its 25th
Anniversary.

The name Kellam has been identified
with the book and stationery business
in Topeka for a quarter Of a century.
This is brought out today In the an
nouncement elsewhere in this paper of
a special sale by the Kellam Book and
Stationery company to celebrate its
twenty five years Of business in this
city.
In June, 1876, Mr. T. J.. Kellam pur-
chased an interest in the book line and
shortly thereafter became proprietor OF
the concern Later a corporation with
the present name was formed
Today the business is under the con-
troll of Mrs. T. J. KelIam, with her son,
Kurtz H Kellan, as manager. The
three special departments are books,
office stationery and the art depart
ment The best in these three lines is
to be found here The art department
has been especially developed in recent
years The Kellam CON any has had
much to do with the art features which
now form conspicuous object lessons in
the public schools. The books, the sta
tionery, the pictures, the statuary and
the Trainings which come from the KEEL
lam store are worthy of this old estab-
lfshed concern, this week celebrating its
twenty-ffth anniversary Of honorable
and enterprising business existence.

TILLMAN DECLINES
Declares That the Executive Has
Transcended Authority.


Columbia, S. C, June 3.-Senator Till
ton at this time In a letter to the gov
ernor today he writes:
In declining to accept am sure you
have transcended your authority. You
cannot compel q member of the United
States senate to hold his commission and
exercise the functions of that ONCE IL
he chooses to surrender It.
What you consider calamity would
be hailed by thousands SIS an opportun-
ity to get rid Of a traitor, who now dis
graees the commonwealth.
The session Of congress beginning
next December marks an era in the his
tory OF our republic, and the patriots
who will then and there inaugurate
struggle for the restoration of the old
free institutions VIII need every voice
and every vote that can be had. The
recent decision of the supreme court
pronulgating the damnable doctrine
that this republic can acquire by con-
quest or purchase territories and peo-
pies to be controlled and taxed without
representation through congressional
absoluteism must be met and exposed,
and plans must be laid for battle to
the death.
THE result of the Carney meeting
had brought Senator McLaurin within
reach of his constituents. Your excel
lency's action gives him a loophole of
escape, and the censure or blame must
rest where 1t belongs. There is nothing
personal in my attitude towards Mr..
McLaurin.
Holding this view, 1 decline for the
present to withdraw my resignation
The governor said he expected Tillman
to t'yaw'' around considerably. Nc
Laurin said nothing today.
