hOhE. June Zo.-Ihe public con
'istory following the recent secret
meeting was held today. The pope
looking wan and emaciated in his
robes OF state. was carried above the
Sneelins thousands receiving his

After the ceremony the pope placed
red hats on the new cardinals.
1t was after the ceremonies that his
holiness showed his weakness. He
smiled on the people and blessed the

venerable old man trying to carry out

TOPEKA. Kan. June Estate EN-
| ployment Agent Gerow says that the
| saving of the 10000 900 busheI wheat
crop in Kansas is grave question.
He has issued call after call for har.
| vest hands. but apparently his efforts
ire fruitless. Twenty-nine counties in
| the great wheat belt will need the
services of 2S.000 more men for the
harvest than Kansas can supply
These men must come from states far
lher east. Chicago and New York
could furnish these alone, tor more
than this number are idle in these cit
les. he said, but they will not come to
Kansas and earn 81 day and board.
The wheat farmers canno, get bind
ing twine. The state plant in the pen
ltentiary is running night and day to
furnish twine below the trust prices,
but it cannot supply the demand
A day or two ago the Santa Fe and
Rock Island railroads each brought
100 men from Chicago free to repair
bridges and tracks. AS soon as they
arrived at Newton and Mcpherson in
the wheat belt they abandoned the
trains and scattered through the
| country to accept higher wages from
the farmers

vices. appearing one by one in the
pews.
DR. Campbll, the most talked-about
preacher in England. took by storm
the enormous congregation which
gathered to hear him. With flood
of anecdote, quotation, humor, pathos
and simple homily he had his hearers
angling, crying and meditative inter
mittently. which he closed with n
| touching tribute to the memory OF
| Mr.. Beecher, coupled with "A personal
appeal 10 every member of his con

eye in the audience.
DR. Campbell is tall, slight. thought
ful OF mien. and with hair almost a
| silver gray. although he is less than
10 years old. Since he succeeded the
late DR. Joseph Parker as head of the
| City Temple, London, DR.. Campbell
has attracted worldwide notice by his
earnest opposition to the English edu-
cational act. DIR. Campbell has few
