The Young Parson.

Boston Transcript: Much of sanity
Is too often sacrificed in the pulpit and
in families to the temporary interests
of the young, who consider a parson
worn out merely because he Is kind,
patient and conservative. Ministers
usually do get worn out, like any one
else who is not wanted and who has no
income, and there Is no doubt that
many Of them are just as tiresome as
are other people; but the older they
are the less they are addicted to fads
or to going off IN tangents, which cal
low divines seize hold Of with avidity.
1t is an awful pity to look old as one
grows old, but it is a greater pity for
youth to b. unaware of the attractive
ness of g
The present ebullient craze for youth
full ministers who will interest young
people and children (for eve youth
has something younger than ITSELF
has been developed in the hope Of
building up dwindling parishes. Such
expectations a e fulfilled for a while,
and then anoth.,r change is demanded,
until one begins to believe that the rea-
son why the pulpit is no longer as pow
erful as in olden days is because Of its
plentitude Of youth, which acts as a
deterrent or as a sedative upon the
middle-aged, who would gladly receive
instruction appropriate to their years.
People are willing to u up with a
great deal for the sake of their chill
dren, yet he query remains: Would
not middle life, or even later age, in
the pulpit be beneficial to these very
children? 1t is amusing that be-
neyoIently tolerates youth in the pulpit
When one does not in a trustee, a ply
stefan or a teacher, with whom expe-
rience is necessary for success.

M. G. Gee, NJ. ID.
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centcrs which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
If you do not derive prompt and salts

lege, and who served three years at West
Point, has the following to say of Peruna:

A constantly increasing number Of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against social
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afllicts mankind.

.ELOPERS ARE CAUGHT.
Jessie Kelley, Young AtchisOn Girl,
Arrested With a Travelling Man.

J. c. Cannon, a young travelling man,
and Jessie Kelley, an Atchison girl,were
arrested by Chief Stahl at noon today
as they were in the act of boarding an
eastbound train at the Santa F'e depot.
The girl ran away from her home in
Atchison yesterday, in company with
Cannon. The police here were notified
by telephone to look out for the run
aways, who were headed this way. On
their arrival in Topeka they eluded the
police, and it was thought that they
had gone through without stopping.
They were caught today while leaving
town. The chief of police in Atchison
was notified, and the father of the run
away girl will be after her this evening.
The disposal of Cannon is left to the
father of the girl. She is Is years of
age, and says that she will run away
again if they take her home, as her
father does not treat her right
Cannon had some very effusiVe love
letters in his pockets when searched,
but from the Your own sweetheart.
PolIywog," signed to them, the police
are not sure whether it is a wife or
just a sweetheart who writes in such
endearing terms from st. Louis.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
Pipe Organ Association Has Good List
of Attractions.

The Auditorium Pipe Organ asso-
citation is getting out a neat four page
folder descriptive of the new organ in
course of construction, and a pro-
gramme for the entertainments that
have been secured for the benefit of
the organ fund. This is for general
distribution, and is being mailed to
those supposed to be interested. If
any person fails to get one. and is de-
sirous of knowing more in detail about
the organ, and the splendid list of en-
tertainments, they should get one of
these folders at Roehr's music store.
1t was planned to have the next en-
tertainment, given by the Royal Hun
sarian orchestra, on the 18th of this
month, but it was found that there
was a conflict of dates, SO this has been
postponed until later in the season,
and it may be that some other attrac-
ton will have to be substituted.
The next concert will be November
4, given by the Campanari Concert
company. Campanari has no superior
as baritone singer in this country,
and this will be his first appearance in
the west, on the concert stage He
will be sustained by Nine. Savage,
whom Damrosch agreed to bring here
last winter, but was unable to do so on
account of sickness, which was great
disappointment to our musicians.
Besides Nine. Savage, Dorothy
Hoyle, the English girl, will render
violin solos, and Mr.. Ward Stephens, a
great favorite, will appear as pianist
and accompanist. This will be rare
musical treat.

GUILTY OF ExTORTION.
Verdict of the Jury in the WeinseimeI
Case.

New York, Oct. 19.-The jury in the
case of Philip Weinseimer, former
president Building Trades association
on trial for extortion. returned a YER
dict of guilty. He was at once remand
ed to the Tombs until October 2S,
when sentence will be pronounced.
Weinseimer has been on trial for
more than a week in the court OF Spe-
ciaI session. He was charged by Geo.
j. Essig, a master plumber, with ex-
toring $2,700 from him under a threat
not to permit work to continue on the
Chatsworth apartment house here un-
less the money was paid.
When Weinseimer heard the verdict
he trembled and grasped the railing
to steady himself. When his pedigree
was taken he answered in a voice
scarcely audible.
His counsel said that he would at
once appeal the case on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the
evidence.

were turned over to the treasury for
safe keeping. When the deal was
completed the bonds were stamped.
The first coupon on each of the Gar
den City bonds was not stamped. The
warrant for the Garden City bonds was

January II, and was caShed at the

Richey Doesn't Know.
c. R. Richey, late assistant state
treasurer. who has been thrown under
a cloud recently by F. E. Grimes and
T. T. Kelly, and who made good one
third of the shortage in the Abilene
case, was told this morning the de-
tails of Accountant Rowett's findings
in New York. Mr. Richey heard the
details with interest, but he said he
knows no more about the matter than
he has already told.

and which he turned into the state

asking that the draft be sent to him
personally and not as state treasurer,
which was done.
These are facts from the report
which State Accountant Rowett makes
of his investigation in New York con-
cerning the Garden City shortage.
On August 90, 1904, more than a
year after Kelly cashed the draft at
the Merchants National bank here in
Topeka, a mysterious letter was re-
ceived by c. r. Richey, assistant state
treasurer. enclosing $1,412.50 from "a.
r. Brown" stating that it was in pay
ment of interest coupons on the Car
den City bonds.
Mr.. Rowett had considerable trouble
in getting the information he wanted
in New York. The National City
bank. which was the Kansas fiscal
agency up to last July, is one of the
two largest banks in New York. After
considerable effort, extending over sew
eral days, Mr.. Rowett secured the in
formation he was after. The only part
which is made public today is that
which concerns the Garden City short
age.
According to the official report
which Mr.. Rowett has made to Gov
ernor Bailey, State Treasurer Kelly
wrote a personal letter to the National
City bank when the missing Garden
City coupons were sent in, asking that
the draft in payment for them be sent
10 him personally.
Accordingly the draft was made nav

the Garden City coupons. A copy of
the draft is given herewith.
The endorsements on the draft show
that Mr.. Kelly first endorsed it per-
sonalIy, and afterwards by his regular
endorsement as state treasurer. He de-
posted it in the Merchants National
bank of Topeka, which guarantees the
endorsements, so there can be no doubt
about their being genuine.
The draft went through the clearing
house in New York on August "A, back
to the bank which issued it and was
cancelled This proves that Kelly got
ust g. 1903 when it was drawn, and
August "a 1908. when it went through
the New York clearing house 1t was
not until August 26, 1904, over a year
later, when the state accountants were
investigating the matter, that the
money was mysteriously sent in to AS
sistant Treasurer Richey by "A. r.
Brown" otherwise T. T. Kelly
Caught in FalsehoOd-
When informed that State Account
ant Rowett had found the draft in New
York by which Kelly got the money on
the Garden City coupons, MI Kelly
said, according to this mornings To-
peka Capital:
IT don't know of any such draft, and
1 don't believe my endorsement ap-
pears thereon. / never sent the Car
den City detached coupons any
for collection. 1 never saw the coupon.
L don't know anything about them, ex-
cept that developments show that they
were not stamped as the property OF
the state / believe that every coupon
belonging to the state can be accounted
for and will be accounted for
The Garden City Coupons.
The Garden City bonds, on the first
interest payment of which this short
age occurred, were dated January 1,
1903, and were for $66,00Os They
we're purchased by the state school
fund commission early in January,
1903 Just before the last change IN
administration.
A feature of these coupons on which
the shortage occurs is that they We're
not stamped as the property of the
state as they should have been.
George E. Cole, who was just re-
firing as state auditor when these
bonds were purchased, says he re-
m embers that he refused to register
some bonds about that time because
his records die not show any money
IN the permanent school fund with
which to pay for them. He was in
formed that there was plenty of mon
ey in the state treasury, but it had
not been credited to the proper funds
because Mr.. Grimes and Mr.. Kelly
were checking up the treasury pre-
paratory to turning it over from
Grimes to Kelly. With this under
standing Mr.. Cole says, he allowed
the bonds to be registered, but they

UNION OF CHURCHES.
Free Baptists to Be Absorbed by the
Christians.

ST. Louis, Oct. ia definite step
has been taken toward the amalgama-
ton of the Free Baptist church of
America with the Disciples of Christ,
or the Christian church, now holding
a national convention here. A COM
mittee appointed at the last convention
to consider the propriety of the union
has reported favorably, inasmuch as
the doctrinal faith of the two is prac-
tically the same. Another committee
has been appointed by the Christian
convention to complete the negotia-
tions with the Baptists in accord with
the report of the committee on con-
solidation. The union will add 100000
members to the Disciples.
