TOWARDS KANSAS
The Erstwhile Proprietors of the
Western Hotel Took Their
Nocturnal Flight, Leaving
i, Naught but Unpaid Bills as a
Remembrance.

There was no joy, some break
fast and much wrath in evidence
IN the Western hotel this morn
ing. There was also suggestive
vacuum, caused by the moonlight
exit of Miss Gertrude Ruble and
Henry Robinson.
The cycle of time was NOV
ing rapidly on the first day OF the
month, when promises are some
times cashed and sometimes re-
newed, when not too badly worn.
Henry and Gerlie bad a stock that
had been reupholstered, and
passed up to their creditors so
many times that they feared the
shock that would follow, il they
set them up again in new dress.
The Question of cash had a mer-
ceninary jingle that grated harsh-
ly on their sensitive natures.
There was but one recourse and
that was to HE themselves "Far
from the madding crowds ig.
noble strife" and bic they did.
The crowd is still mad. Await
ing the initial note from Robert
= Lybrsnd's nasal trumpet, that has
alwas been the signal for every
body in and lights out, in the pop
ular hosiery. Gertie quietly COL
lecled her feminine impedimenta,
while Henry did heavy stunt on
a well.filled collection OF hand
bags. There we're no sad good
byes, because il was the desire OF
the departing ones TO escape any
heart rendering or baggage grab
bing scenes, that might have fol-
lowed. AS they moved with si-
lent stsps toward the Katy tracks,
that stretch away toward Kansas.
Jsmes Hennessy and VIM Tibb;ts,
night clerk, and chef, respective
ly, Of the deserted hostelry, were
encountered. There was ire in i5e
Hennessy optics and a twilching
of the Tibbits' biceps. There was
fear In the heart Of Henry, and
tears in the eye OF Gertie. The
tears, however. could not quench
the Hennessy conhsgration. or
stay the cOngealed- upper cuts in
the Tibbits biceps. so Henry
purchased peace, by cashing the
claims Of bis forgotten employees.
They were then allowed to board
the ll:45 Katy for Kansas and
peace.
The hotel will be closed today,
under foreclosure proceedings, as
everything left in the building is
heavily mortgsged.
Several of the merchants trusted
Henry too well and are heavy
losers through their confidence,
while the hotel help were entire
ly overlooked, in the haste attend
ing their late employers exit.

ADDRESS TO BISHOP WILLIS
Continued from Ist page.)

Peters School or Iolan College to Shang-
hai-the link that has arisen connecting
the work under your Lordship's care
with that being carried on by the Amer
lean Church In the Far East. If the
China mission receives from your success
sor as great a care as It has received
from yourself, 1t should find a bright
future awaiting 1t.
Though It has not been possible for the
Anglican church to bring into existence
Hawaiian ministry, nevertheless your
Lordship alluded In your address to an
important point when you spoke of the
translation of the Book of Common
Prayer into the Hawaiian language. This
work was originally done by Kamehame-
ha ", who received able assistance from
David Northumberland King of tile
Hawaiian Islands. But the Revised Ver-
sion now, and for long time past. in
use, was the work of your Lordshp. To
collection of 301 hymns in Hawaiian now
in use, besides lesser but useful little
books like those on the catechism and
the holy communion. Nor while we are
speaking of your work for the Hawaii
ans must we forget the interest YOU dis
played in the other Polynesian races in
the Pacific by your visitation of Samoa.
Fiji and Tonga in 1897.

REPLY FROM .rHE BISHOP.

When the reading was finished Blsh-
OPP Willis stood and returned his
thanks in part as follows: IT think
you all for the kind words contained in
the address, and particularly for the
words concerning the efforts of Mrs.
Willis after the plague, in establishing
the Victoria Hospital for Incurables,
which I hope is now to become q per-
manent institution. I was not pre-
pared for all that was contained in
your address. / desire to express to
you thanks for your kind words as TO
my future. also wish to speak to
you few words with reference TO this
session. believe that this session will
be historical chapter in the work of
the Anglican communion. think that
what we have accomplished will b. Q.

exists between all branches of the
church. because If the church of Eng
land and the church in the United
States We're not one 1t would not have
been possible for us to have made the
changes that have been made by the
very simple process we have adopted.

PAbTlNG OFFERS.

Finally we desire to bear our testi-

fare of this church by the offers of land.
now held in your Lordship's name for
purchase by the church. 1t is not posi-
BILE for us. at this moment to state how
far the church may be enabled to meet
these opportunities. Nor is it necessary
for our present purpose. Your offers
stand, accepted or unaccepted, a testi-
mony to your disinterested generosity.
The synod has even now taken those
steps which were necessary to compile
ment the action taken two years ago to
bring the Anglican Church In Hawaii
into union with the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States Of America.
The anglican Church" In these Islands
will soon be thing of the past. In
April of next year your Lordship will re-
linquish the episcopal oversight to the
house of bishops.
We do. not intend at this moment and
In your presence to attempt any estimate
of your work. But we feel confident of
this, that If in our new relationship, If
under the constitution and canons of the
American Church, in organic union with
that great body, our work here develop
in the future into proportions not yet at
tanned, no one will rejoice more than
your Lordship, upon whom has devolv-
ed in the bygone years the duty of lay
ing foundations. For my own part" we
quote your Lordships own words, "I
shall be thankful If am permitted to
lay a foundation upon which those who
come after me may bultl to SOW where
they may reap" etc., etc. If the Angli-
can Church in Hawaii is inheriting
precious inheritance In her admission to
the Protestant Episcopal Church in. the
United States of America, it must NOT be
forgotten on the other hand that that
church Is receiving at your Lordships
hands the episcopal oversight of a
church that has been fully organized on
principles laid down at Lambeth in a
conference of the bishops of the whole
Anglican communion

property from one church to another,
to pass one church to another by ex-
actly the same process and just as
easy as in 1872 when we passed from
the Hawaiian Reformed Catholic
church to the Anglican form. I believe
what we have done will furnish the
methods to enable others in future,
placed in the same circumstances as
ourselves, to do. 1t may again be nee
essary for one church jurisdiction to
pass under the jurisdiction of an ,ther
church branch and they will then be
able to refer to the work done here IN
this out-of- the-way part of the world
and will be able to refer to the Synod
of 1901 for their methods.
Then 1 desire most heartily to con-
graduate the synod for It's work and for
having established the principles of syn
odical government 1t has taken a long
time for that to be done. We all have
to take time to assimilate new ideas.
am not surprised at all that we should
have found opposition to the synodical
government Bishop Selwin of New zea-
land told me when / was to come here
that it had taken a large number of
years to get church principles thorough
ly understood and established in New
Zealand and that it would take twice
as long in Hawaii. / am not surprised
that this should have been so. My only
fear and regret is that when the church
comes under the jurisdiction of the Amer
lean church that the synodical power will
be curtailed. On that point it would not
be safe for me to speak.
81 have always felt that in regard to
the cathedral that the office of dean and
canons should not exist only on paper,
but that they should be given an actual
existence. have all along been hoping
that some endowment would be given to
make the deanery a reality. I will say
to the synod that 1 have a small piece
of land which 1 will hand over to the
new corporation as an endowment for
the deanery.
THE cathedral has never been conse-
Grated. We have put 1t off hoping for
harmony to come about before that could
be done. 1t ought to be consecrated This
should be done to make the church con.
form to what 1t should be. hope before
leave to consecrate that part of the
cathedral which is already completed.
I'm conclusion, 1 think we nave been
guided by the Holy Spirit In preparing
for our passage into the American
Church. trust that there as new era
and great prosperity for the future of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
Hawaiian Islands,"
T. Give Davies presented the following
motion, which was passed: Resolved,
that it is the sense of this synod that |
the thanks of the Anglican Church in |
Hawaii are due to the bishop for the |
and gracious act of. providing |
an endowment for the dean of the cath
edral, which he has announced his inten-
ton of making as a farewell upon leav-
ing the diocese"

Midnight Raiders Abroad.

GOSHEN Sept. -Four robbers en-
tered the farm residence of John Bech-
tel, nine and one half miles southwest
Of here early yesterday morning, and
after flashing the inmates of the house
to the bed rails, went through the
place and secured $40 i'm cash and a
gold watch. An entrance was gained
through the front door, which had
been inadvertently unlocked. 1--WE

sang out the quartette of burglars
as Mr.. Bechtel awol0e from sound
sleep to find four shining revolvers
pointed at his head. The farmer was
game and he answered. ".You will do
well if you can find $4,000 in this
house. Three of the fellows were
masked, their faces being concealed,
but the fourth made no effort to con-
ceal his identity.

QUICK MAIL DELIVERY
Letters Delivered Eight Miles in the
Country Nine Hours From
Chicago.

The advantage and value of the free
rural mail delivery to those who are
fortunate enough to live on country
postal route will hardly find better
Illustration than is afforded by an
experience of F. NJ. McCrory, subSti-
tute carrier ON route from this city,
He noticed one day in his pack a let
ter postmarked at 1:3O a. M, at the
Chicago postoffice and addressed to a
person living eight miles from Plym-
outh. This letter was delivered at
the home of the party to whom it was
directed before 10 O'Clock on the same
day it was mailed.
On the six following weekdays the
same thing happened. Seven days in
succession, Sunday excepted, letters
mailed in Chicago after l O'Clock in
the morning were delivered at their
destination eight miles in the country
before 10 O'Clock of the same morn
ing. These letters were important
and without the system of free delivery
the recipient would have been COM
PEELED to drive 16 miles each day for
the seven days, at the expense of
work on the farm, to get
them.
Furthermore, he was enabled to
send his replies in by the carrier,
without which advantage he would
have lost one day on each one unless
he made another trip of 16 miles.
Some few farmers still dislike or dis
trust the rural delivery system but
instances such as that here related
will rapidly remove such prejudice.

DoDDERINo DICKrs ARROGANCE.

At the old settlers reunion near
Lapaz Saturday Editor J. B. Stoll, in
the crisp and lucid style of which he
is a master, expressed some valuable
truths concerning the importance of
religion i'm everyday life, quite in line
with the lay sermon delivered by Vice
President Roosevelt in Chicago SUM-
day. Commenting on Mr.. Stoll's re-
marks the Independent says:
'.These ideas, condemning the dis
semination of infidel doctrine, which
dissemination the Independent has
from time TO time vigorously opposed,
were met with the hearty approval of
the large audience that heard Mr..
Stoll. thus demonstrating that the
people of Marshall county stand firm
with the institutions that have en-
trenched the home.'
The hifalutin sentence is involved
and ungrammatical, but squirting at
it by and large it is obviously meant
to convey the impression that the
perky little half-sheet is i'm some way
responsible for the existence of a
Christian sentiment in this locality.
In view of the fact that its only
vigorous opposition to 1.-The dis
semination of infidel doctrines" con-
sists of low filings at its democratic
competitor, with motive and in
spirit far from Christian or even de-
cent. it will be hard to make old resi-
dents believe that the Independent is
entitled to any credit for the moral
atmosphere of Marshall county.

Chapter OF Mishaps.

LAPoRTE, Ind, Sept. 4-Laporte
broke its fatality and accident record
yesterday. Excitement and over-ex.
ertion in dancing caused Louis Bakers
death. He was found dead in the
barn. Coroner Bowell'S examination
showed Baker had danced himself to
death.
Michael FitzsimmOnS, aged rs,
while walking along the street Stun
bled and fell, striking his head against
stone. He died five hours later at
the Holy Family Hospital.
John Kizer, aged 81, was thrown
out of buggy in runaway and in
jured. He will die. The horse was
frightened at Frank Badur's carriage
and Badur, on reaching home, was
taken with peritonitis as result of
the shock of witnessing the accident
and is not expected to recover.
Fred Newman, while respondent
over ill-health, tried to commit sui
eide by cutting his throat. Charles
Payne, former prominent grocer, took
a big dose of paris green while de-
spondent. Both may recover.

Bremen's Third Well.

Having drilled unavailing to the
depth of 1 $50 feet, the last hundred
feet being in Trenton rock, the Bre-
men oil company is pulling up the pipe
and will bore again at point near the
fair grounds, about a mile from the
present dry hole. Behring'S of the
present well were sent to the state
geologist, who identified the Tren-
ton rock and advised the abandon
ment of the well.
An ssoil smeller" from Ohio, Mr..
Balm, located the place for the drill at
the hole about to be opened and man.
ifested his confidence by paying 800
cash for an interest in the enterprise.
He predicted failure for the well just
abandoned.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. John
f. Geckler, city clerk of Indianapolis,
who organized the pressmIen and in
stigated the strike at the Hammond
plant of the Conkey Printing COM
pany, is charged with mismanagement
of his Office and today it was stated at
the attorney generals Office that
Geckler's conduct is to be investigated.
The state officials are interested be-
cause they say the state school fund
suffers by failure to collect fines. An
investigation of Geckler's books is
said to show that thousands of dollars
are due to the state in uncollected
fines during Geckler's two years term
of Office.
Most of the delinquents are demo-
cratic politicians, Geckler being a part
of the democratic administration.
The attorney general proposes to
sue on Geckler's official bond If it is
shown he has not made the attempt
required by law to collect delinquent
fires.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 1.-The
first serious trouble resulting from the

when Henry Bush, negro, shot and
fatally injured Henry Mills, white,
and Wallace Pickett, negro, was shot
in the head. For several nights there
has been trouble brewing between the
whites ard blacks near a 'merry-gO-

ANTIQUITY OF MAN
Latest Discoveries Of Investigators Sum.
med Up in Notable Lecture.

Professor Matthew Flinders Petrie
in lecture at London last week sums
up in 2 few sentences of intensest in
terest the latest evidence Of the anti
putty of the human race. Antiquar-
ians now have to deal with Egypt
alone. There is an unbroken chain of
historic record from 5000 B. c., be-
sides actual objects which carry his
tory back 1000 years further, thus
giving 1900 years to human history,
but this is yet far from the beginning.
There were traces which showed
that civilization must have come from
another country, but where no one
has the slightest idea The earliest
graves have figures of a. race of BUSH
men of type discovered similar to
those found in France and Malta,
proving that the race extended from
Africa to Europe. Then there are
figures Of women OF earlier races,
which probably were of the paleolithic
age. Beyond this there was a time
when the climate of Egypt was totally
different from today; when a rainfall
fertilized what is now a desert, and
when animals of which all trace has
been lost inhabited the country.
Other lands might show the age of
man to be more remote by physical
but nowhere could we feel
more plainly the certainty of man
than where 5000 years continuous
remains did not yet bring us into the
vast periods of those climatic and geo.
logical changes through which
man had kept up the chain of life to
the present day.

measure now before the legislature
which provides for tax OF 2 per cent

pany has also sent lobby here to de-
feat the bill.
Are these the men who but few

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Sept. THE
temperance societies of the city have
begun a crusade against the liquor
law violaters and it is expected that
within few days affidavits will be
filed against 200 or 300 SalOonkeepers
who have been keeping their places of
business open on Sunday, after hours
and on holidays. Instead Of employ
ing detectives and spies to secure the
evidence, the members of the Young
Peoples Christian Temperance union
have taken the matter into their own
hands and all evidence has been
obtained.
