is the latest aspirant for the place to make

Representative Cushman of Washington

belt, has not been seriously injured by

terested in real estate.
1.-The winter has thus far been so free
from wind that the wheat has survived
the dry weather without being serious
ly injured" he said. THE dry weather
has also kept the wheat from growing
and becoming tender. 1t has become
hardened instead of growing We were
a little worried yesterday because there
was considerable wind, which we
thought might uncover the roots of the
wheat, but if this storm extends out
there and think it does fer it was be-
ginning to storm when 1 left Salina
early this morning the wheat will be in
good condition to go through the bal

sHELDON'S OBJECT LESSON
Exhibits 14o Feet of Clippings of Dis
asters CAUSED by Liquor.

A string OF newspaper clippings 14e
feet long was unrolled at Central Con-
gregational church Sunday morning by
Charles NJ. Sheldon to illustrate a SER
mon on the subject of temperance. The
clippings were collected by Mr.. Sheldon
during the past two weeks and all
referred to crimes due to the use of
liquor. There were several murders, a
long list of assaults, numerous suicides
and a generous sprinkling of all the
other crimes on the calendar
These clippings were secured by Mr..
Sheldon from thirty newspapers pub
lished in thirty different cities of the
United States. The long string of clip
pings was unrolled by one of the uSherS
up one aisle and down another to it's
full length, while Mr.. Sheldon held one
end of the string and explained the
manner in which he had accumulated this
mass of evidence against the baneful
influence of liquor.
Mr.. Sheldon's sermon was largely de-
voted to the general subject of temper
ance, instead of local conditions. He
urged the citizens of Topeka to be
vigilant in the protection of the city,
and prevent the invasion Of joints and
saloons.

Nobody Knows Anything About
What Morgan is Doing.

New York, Jan. Craftsmanship inter-

the recent reports of actual consolida<

Star and Cunard lines, whatever ar
rangements ]. P. Morgan may have
been able to effect among the Ameri-
can, the Leyland and the Atlantic

still claim that they are entirely ignor-
ant of any big plan to control ocean
freights. Under the plan as alleged the
financial interests of the five lines will
reach the enormous sum of about $780,
100000. The Leyland line will have So
ships, the International Navigate COM
pany about %, with four building, the
White Star about 20 and the Cunard
about Is. Mr.. Lee takes the position
that any deal must merely be one of
agreement and not of purchase. Mem
bers of the firm of J. p Morgan & Co.,
when questioned, denied that the bank
ing house had underway a consolation
of transatlantic steamship lines. So far
as the arrangement that is to be in ef-
feet among the various companies Is
concerned, it will. apparently. be mere
~ the application of the community of
interest plan of operation to the steam
ship business. The flags and tunnels OF
the three fleets will remain distinct as
at present and the lines will be manag-
ed separately as is now the case. The
idea of the alleged combination most
general in shipping circles is that the
plan of operation will be to organize
new company to own stock in steam
shin lines and 0nQr9fa them fast
is found advisable in connection with
the railroads-railroad interests them
selves being stockholders. The aim will
be to avoid duplication Of service.
