SHIPPED him. We learn from history
that there was period when literature
was scattered about until the eyes OF
the people were opened to the errors OF
Romanism. In the days of Luther it
was necessary to make a distinction
between the false and the true. the real
and simply formal Christians.
I'VE may say also that in our own
day it seems to be a time especially for
religious systems which shall call the
minds of the people away from Christi
anity. The world today believes there
was a Jesus, that he was born, lived
and died, but there it stops.
1.-The church of Christ is the special
agency for the dissemination of relig
ious truths. 1t is not simply for the
formalities, but it's mission is to go out
into the world and teach others Gods
plan. 1t is important to bring sinners
to Christ, but does not stop with simply
bringing them in. They N must be built
up and made stronger in the doctrinaI
teachings which they may have accept
ed.
1.-THE church is a necessary factor in
the promotion of good society 1t builds
men up; the tendency is toward culture.
Not only in America, but in other parts
of the world the college and universe
ties show the work o the church in i'm
proving society
People sometimes go into the church
without comparing the teachings. We
should accept nothing that is not re-
ug1OuS- DO we OepenQ upon mOra1Iy
or upon Jesus Christ? Dove have faith?
These are some of the cardinal prin-
ciples and essential points, and we can
not be Christians unless we are fol-
lowers of Jesus the Christ. The char
acter of the worshiper is everything.
Reputation is only what others may
think of us; but there is something
more solid Eloquence and learning We
may possess, but they are not the
means of winning men. We must fol-
low the early Christians in our love for
Christ. Then the world will feel our
power"
Tonight Miss Frances Maghee, field
secretary of the wonan's board of mis-
sions of the church, will speak. Miss
Maghee comes from Evansville Ind,
but her work has called her to many
parts of the world and she is regarded
as one of the most able women in the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. DIR.

AGROSTOLOGY REPORT.
Shows That There Are 365, 100000
Acres of Grazing Lands.

Washington Oct. "A report on the
work of the division of agrostology of
the department of agriculture since its
organization in 1895, has been submit
ted to Secretary Wilson by Prof. Lam
son Scribner, the government agrostol-
ogist. The report says that of the un-
occupied public lands about 365, 400 900
acres are now regarded as fit only for
grazing purposes and in addition there
are 124. 100000 acres of forest land, the
greater portion of which is also used for
grazing. The relation Of the grazing in
dustry to forest reserves, the water
supply, erosion, ETC., the report says can
be solved only by long and careful in
vestigation of the facts and conditions
prevailing. As result of the field work
already done, the department has been
enabled to recommend to farmers and
stockmen throughout the country the
forage crops adapted to their cOndi-
tionS and special requirements and to
carry on experiments with introduced
forage plans likely to prove valuable
in any particular region Within the
United States are grown over 1000
species Of grasses and perhaps one hun
dred or more other plants of sufficient
forage value to justify their investi-
cation and cultivation Because they
are native, says the report, they are
too often not only neglected but abused
and in some cases partially exter-
minated. Many of these grasses have
been shown by these Investigations to
take kindly to cultivation and produce
much larger quantities of hay and pas
ture than ordinarily supposed.

attention is turned to the remaining
federal appointments.
1t is the general understanding that
Cyrus Lelands commission ought to be
forthcoming now, in accordance with
the agreement that Senator Burton
should get in an appointment first. Le-
land is confident himself that his re-
appointment is certain.
II wondsr will Simpson, Crum and
Leland land all right now?" is the form
in which the politicians put their in
quiries one to another
The Tracy shake-up has been a deep
one and it is little wonder that some
are III the air. Tracy and Mulvane are
and Senator Burton, him self, is expect
ed in a few days.
The rapidity with which Dean was
recommended and appointed brings
some comment, principally of the
"wanted-to- ma alSe- -sure-iob- of-it-this-
time" Some expressed surprise that
Chief Justice Doster wired a recommen-
dation for Dean when some years ago
Dean and Doster had a street fight and
gun-play at Marion. And more than
one talked of Deans defeat in conven-
tion for nomination for reelection as
county attorney in 1888 because of a
story that he misappropriated wild
ow's funds in settling up an estate
J. w. Moore, who is Jim Sim pson' s

DEATH OF MRS. L. w. LEWIS
Wife of Prominent Emporia Contract
or Passes Away.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. Mrs. Margaret
Lewis. wife of L. w. Lewis. died Tues
day at the family home, Fifth and Mar
ket streets, after a lingering illness.
Mrs. Lewis death was due to a compli-
cation of diseases. Her health has been
poor for the past three years, and for
the past 16 m onths, she has been an al
most hopeless invalid, confined to her
bed most of the time.
Mrs Lewis died with her family about
her, but one of the sad features of this
death bed was that her husband, L w.
Lewis, lies very i'll with pneumonia.
Her children, Lewis H, Mary, Marger-
ate William, and Claudia were with
her Mrs. Lewis has been an active and
consistant member of the Welch Pres
byterian church since her childhood.
The funeral will probably be held
Thursday from the WEIGH Presbyterian
church but the exact date has not yet
been decided upon.
Mrs Lewis was born 50 years ago
near Aberystweth, Wales. She was
married to l. w. Lewis SO years ago
and the two came to America 30 years
ago. They have spent nearly all of that
time in Emporia.

WATER TURNED ON
Largest Power Producing Plant
in the Country Started.

Watertown, N. Y, Oct 2.-The water
has been turned on to the wheels of
the plant of rhe st. Lawrence Power
company at Massena, in the northern
part of St Lawrence county, and
started the largest power producing
plant in this country. Even the Mag
ara Falls power plant is surpassed by
this one, both in the amount of power
produced ana engineering
achievement.
While at Niagara the fall is greater,
the volume is not so great The two
plants are constructed on entirely diff
ferent lines. At Niagara the water Is
dropped down d well $50 feet deep upon
the wheels below. At Massena the
wheels work horizontally, there being
q right and left, so that the thrust is
neutralized, and the main shaft is but
half the length OF the Niagara shaft.
The cost of this enterprise has been
immense. The company was capital
lied at S. 000, 900, and already Sc, 900, 900
has been expended in the construction
of its plant Thousands of acres of
land have been purchased, a canal has
been dug through which it will defect
from the st. Lawrence river a stream
of water PCS feet wide and 25 feet deep
and carry it a distance of three miles
to the Grass river, into which it will
fall and mingle again with the waters
of the st. Lawrence a few miles lower
down.
