GLASS WORKS STARTED.
Plant at independence Is Now in
Full Blast.

Independence, Nov. 19.-After many
delays and disappointments the Midland
Glass company opened up for business
Saturday in earnest and the blowing
room, or furnace room, presented an an
mated scene. Swarms of visitors were
trudging through the rooms or standing
about eagerly watching the maneuvers
of the workmen. It was a new sight
to Kansas eyes and an intensely inter
esting one. 1t is a scene to make young
men dream dreams and old men to see
visions, for it is the beginning of a new
era for the gas regions of Kansas. This
is a starter. After this will come others.

through the south. They made long stops
at several of the larger towns on the
main line.
Oklahoma City during the coming year.
They will probably erect new passenger
and freight depots and pave the streets
on which their buildings are located.
Many changes in the tracks at that point
will also be made
1t is expected that the new gravity coal
chute, which is being erected at Purcell,
will be in operation by the end of Novem-
Der. The work has been delayed about
three weeks on account of shortage of
material. The material is now on the
ground and the work has been resumed.
This will give the Oklahoma division
gravity chutes at Arkansas City, Guthrie
and Purcell.
Material is being received at Guthrie for
the erection of new track scales at that
point.

STANDS BY REVEALS.
Rev. P. w. Crannell Says They Are
Needed.

'-Revivals are legitimate; and they
were never more needed than today"
said Rev. P. w. CranneH, pastor of the
First Baptist church, Sunday morning,
Passing of the Revival Those de-
nominations" he said farther. which
are insisting on the passing of the re-
viVal are themselves in the most i'm
perative need of it. They are rapidly
approaching Unitarianism. The true re-
vival should bring things to head; but
there are many so-called revivals which
have been built on nothing permanent,
and the results are dead ashes.
Il define the revival as being quick
ening of the spiritual life among God s
people; its cause is the great spirit of
God brooding in the hearts of the peo-
pie. We never have and never will get
beyond the necessity of holding special
efforts Cor the salvation of men. The
success of such meetings depends upon
two psychological principles: attracting
the attention to one particular thing,
and repeating the impressions already
produced so ia oidly that the first has
not time to die away.
The church never will get beyond the
need of having its spiritual power and
life duickened. There is sure to be in
everything times when the ebb of life
is low. There is nothing else human
that does not need its revival. In order
higher spiritual temperature There are
two great facts in the conversion OF
men: that man IS not redeemed by cold
intellectually. and that the whole Spir-
itual career of man is nodded by the
surroundings of his spiritual birth and
childhood.
The past year has been one of the
most successful revival years ever
known. The revival has paused, but
pray God that it may reach us"

MURDER is FEARED.

Salina, Kas., Nov. 1O.-The strange
disappearance of Louis Alt, a young
mechanic of this city, grows still more
mysterious as time passes and the coun-
ty and city authorities are at a com
plete loss to know where to begin work
on the case.
Mr.. Alt disappeared as If the earth

Gals in their effort to locate the MISS

evening about 1870 o'clock.
Mr.. Alt conducted a profitable busi-
ness in Salina, manufa cturing wagons,
carriages, ETC., and as his finances were
in good condition his friends and rela.
tives are at a loss to explain his abb
sence. He left considerable money in
his safe, also his overcoat he left at his
shop, indicating that he probably had
no intention of going away when he left
the building.
AS he was thought to have had some
money on his person, the theory that he
might have been robbed and killed was
entertained to some extent, but a search
of the river led to no indications that
such had happened.

But social sessions predominate. The
dealers have good time. and their
two days session always ends with
fine banquet.

winds by miserable tumble when the
fruits of it were almost within reach.
Three times in the first half Harvard

Although outweighing their opponents. the
doctors showed a lack of team work, and

once lost the ball when about to cross the
line of the Kansans for touchdown. In

they could not battle against the strong

brace by the Quakers on their own g.

many additional points. There were 9TH

TOO BUSY TO KICK.
Emporia Laborers- Forget About the
Color Line.

Emporia, Nov. 10.-Men are scarce at
the railroad this year and last week five
colored men took scoop shovels and went
to work at the coal chute Last year
about this time a colored man was sent
here from Ottawa to work at the chutes
A number of men quit on that account
and there promised to be such an unpleas-
antness that the colored man was sent
back to Ottawa The colored men are
working at the chutes now because the
superintendent sent here and told the
chutes' boss he could get colored men to
work if he wanted to and if any men re-
fused to work with them to tell the kick
ers to hunt a job somewhere else then.
Several men recently have quit jobs at
the chutes and gone to work in some of
the section gangs, but there seems to be
no such objection raised to the colored
men, as there was a year ago.
