An Interesting Suit.


The suit Of the Real Estate Title, In
surance and Trust Company, admir-. G. T.
A. of Josephine G. Hitchcock against Chas
Finger and others was tried before Vice
Chance lor Gray recently, and decision
rendered on the 29th ultimo. In 1866
Oliver W. Down mortgaged large tract of
land at Evan to DIR. Fithian, then of this
city. In 1869 Down sold the bulk of the
tract to Israel G. Evan, who assumed pay
ment of the mortgage. In 1859 and 1870
Evan sold six tracts to various parties and
balance Of about so acres to Henry Fin
ger, the latter assuming payment of the
Fithian mortgage, and paid interest on same
to March 25, 1901. The various owners of
the six tracts never paid interest on the
mortgage nor recognized it in any way nor
knew of it until recently. Suit was brought
to foreclose the mortgage, making all the
owners of the original trust parties to the
suit The Chancellor held that the mort
gage had ceased to be lien on the six
tracts and ordered sale of Fingers, SO
acres to satisfy the mortgage. Watkins g.

Christ in God She walked the path of
the just. She kept herself unspOtted from
the world. She ever pressed trustfully on
to the end OF the race that she might re-
ceive the crown of life that fadeth not
away, And that crown she hath now re-
ceiyed. Death hath touched her body but
it hath elevated her soul to place before
the King of Heavens throne. To be alb
sent from the body to her to-day is to be
present with the Lord.
The sainted dead are not asleep. They
are not imprisoned in some remote and
dull portion of the universe, they are with
the Lord and are like the Lord whom they
love and obey. So while her beloved COM
panion may long continue to minister be-
fore the altar Of God in the church militant
here, and God grant that he may, yet she
ministereth now with her redeemed and
scantifed hands in nobler way before the
altar of God in the church triumphant over
there, where the Sabbath never ends.
Her life on earth has been completed.
Though she has been summoned before she
had reached the allotted time Of man to
live yet her life was complete. The real
measure of life does not consist in days
and weeks and years. We must estimate
life by the fact of its having attained the
ideal for which we are created.
That ideal is union with God, submis-
sion to his WILL being made meat to be
partakers of the inheritance Of the saints Of
life. Whoever young or old hath attained
unto this hath according to the standard OF
Heaven attained unto completion. Her
work on earth was done. Her character
was rounded out. Her soul was ripe for
Heaven. Hence God hath taken her. And
the place of her abiding is not far away.
To her husband just before her death she
said, ''You plant your flowers in the Spring
as usual and bury them and put them on
my grave, it will be so much nicer for you
to bring flowers you have grown yourself,
and will see you.
She was already on the border line, and
had learned where Heaven was And 80
yor my brother may 30 comfs1ted Iog
Golden sunbeams round you play,
He will turn y0nr night TO day;
Heaven is not far away
Since You have your Saviour"
And the chord that's broken will vibrate
once more. The vanished hand will once
more have its touch. The voice that is
silent win one day have richer sweetness.
Heaven will by and by give you your
treasures back more beautiful and holy
than ever

The ATCHISON EVENT.
The Howe Lecture and Concert Of
Special Importance.

Great interest is developing in the
forthcoming entertainment at the
Auditorium Tuesday, May 10, by E
W. Howe of the Globe and a number
of Atchison people.
A party of the most prominent citi-
zens of Atchison will come over in a
special train. Among those who will be
present are Mayor Orr and Mrs. Orr,
Hon. B. P. Waggener and Mrs Wag-
gener. Mr.. Russell. superintendent of
the Missouri Pacific Railway company
and Mrs. Russell, Mrs. w. w. Hether-
ington, F. NJ Baker and Mrs. Baker,
and "a number of others.
The lecture and concert will give our
people what will probably be the best
for the money ever given in the Audi
forum.
Mr.. Howe has not as yet given his
lecture in Atchison, and those who
hear it are anxious to hear it again.
An Atchison man has telegraphed:
Reserve eighty seats; pay you on
arrival"
The event will represent one Of the
handsomest courtesies ever extended
by one city to another. The Atchtson
lecturer and the musicians come with
out charge and insist on paying their
own expenses.
Topeka should fill the Auditorium.
Every cent goes to our benefit-for
the pipe organ, which will be one of
the great instruments Of the country.

FLORENCE CRITrENTON MISSION

FLORENCE CRITFENTON MISSION
The twenty-arst annual conference
of the National Florence Crittenton
Mission, in session in Washington this
week. prompts the Washington Post
to the following euloEium upon the
society and its works:
THE mission was organized and
chartered in New York state in 1888.
Seventeen years later the organization
was made a national one by special
act of congress. Today it has a home
in almost every important city-north,
south east, and west-and the record
of its good works would fill a thou
sand libraries.
Nothing new can be said, either in
praise or illustration, of the objects
or the achievements of the Florence
Crittenton mission. The whole coun-
try is familiar with it's character
Every community has felt it's noble
influence. It's propaganda is inspired
by true charity-the charity the
Saviour taught. It does not preach,
or NEEDLE. 1t does not denounce,
arraign, or persecute. Its apostles do
not insist that others shall be as they
are. think their thoughts. or practice
their precepts. The mission offers a
refuge for the unhappy, the fallen,
the abandoned. It helps those to rise
who cannot rise of their own strength.
1t applies to suffering and despair the
healing touch of sympathy and loving
kindness. To the broken heart, it
offers hope. To the wasted life, it Of
fers encouragement and opportunity.
To moral death. it offers resurrection.
1t proclaims no dogmas. establishes
no theology, inflicts no penalties. The
Florence Crittenton homes have
naught to do with creeds and rituals
They are devoted to love and tender
ministration, to help, and hope, and
rescue.
Here are missionaries who see the
misery and degradation at their own
doors; who can hear the cry of the
afflicted within easy reach who rec
ognize the claim of a neighbor's
anguish upon their conscience and
their Intervention. They do not cross
oceans to set up temples and dissent
nate cold doctrines among reluctant
aliens. They do not prosecute unwel-
come and dangerous interference in
strange lands. Enough for them that
there are wounds to bind and souls
to save within the radius of their i'm
mediate knowledge and experience.
They take the Saviour's way! Theirs
is a mission which was sanctioned
from the Mount of olives, and to
which His followers are pledged to-

BUSINESS MEN PROTEST
Meet to Discuss Topeka Insurance
Rates.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon twenty
of the leading business men of the
city held a meeting at the CONNER
cial club rooms for the purpose of de-
Gliding whether or not the city authori-
ties shall be asked to make a test of
the fire pressure which the water
works can furnish.
Word has been received from sew
eral fire insurance companies that the
question of the reduction of fire in
surance rates has been left to the de-
cision of Chas. e. EIdridge, of the
Eldridge bureau.
Mr.. Eldridge has said that if the
water company can throw eight
streams of water 100 feet high for a
period of one hour he will be salts
fed.
A good many Of the business men of
the city think that this is an unduly
severe test, and that the water com
pany could not meet it. There is also
objection made on the ground that IN
less absolutely necessary, the Harrison
street pumping station should not be
used, owing to danger of contaminated
water.
w. w. Webb was chairman of the
meeting this afternoon. The sentiment
seemed to be that a test should be
made

Plan for the ParkdaIe Drainage
Sewer.

City Engineer James F. McCabe,
speaking today of the article in We'd
nesday's State Journal concerning the
construction of a storm water sewer
for Parkdale with money raised osten-
sibly for paving East Eighth avenue,
said:
The method of securing drainage for
East Eighth is the same which was
adopted on East Fourth. There we
built a drain clear from Hancock street
to the creek.
q consulted with the city attorney
about the construction of this drain,
and was advised by him that the esti-
mate for the cost would have to be in
cluded in the city's portion Of the ex-
pense. The law does not allow US to
tax it up to the abutting property.
Unless some drainage facilities are
provided for the East Eighth pavement,
it should not be built. Without such a
system of underground drains as have
devised, the pavement would not last Two
years TOpeka'S success with brick pave
ment has been due in no small degree to
the fact that we have given our pave
ment good drainage. Unless the water IS
able to run or the pavement quickly, II
soaks down into the sand foundation ana
transforms the soil underneath into bed
of muck. Then the pavement soon gets
out of shape. The construction of an I'M
derground drainage system on East
Eighth 1 regard as absolutely necessary
to the life of that pavement. There is no
natural drainage there
