agent of the pope.
Il do not think there is anything
wrong about a good circus said Schra-
der.
The advance agent assured the pope
that the Wallace show was as harm
less as new milk and was intended es-
pecially for women, children and people
in feeble health. He offered the pope a
couple of tickets and the pope accept
ed them. He will be on exhibition at
either the afternoon or evening per-
Torrance, he was unable to say which.
1t is not known whether the circus
man gave Schrader comps on the
ground that he was a clergyman, or be-
cause of professional courtesy. 1t is
customary for one Snowman to favor
another in this way.
Pope Schrader came here direct from
trip to New Mexico. Arizona and
Texas, where his church seems to exist
in especial strength. He was here last
fall for a few days, and started his 10
cal church organization at that time.
He was born in Ellesville, Wis, and is
So years of age. He commenced doing
his divine healing stunts when he was
only 10 years old. and has been at it
ever since. He charges nothing for
healing, and says he will try his hand
on anybody who desires. His head
quarters in Topeka are at 514 Monroe

FROM Mn. GRIMSLY.
Explains Why He Was Forced Out of
Washburn.

G. p. Grimsley. who is recognized
as one of the foremost experts in
Kansas nineralogy and geology, did
not resign his position as professor at
yVashblirn COLLEGE because the college
refused to continue his leave of alb
sence till next February, but because
the only terms upon. which President
PIass would consent to his re-em plOy-
ment we're that he should cease all his
field work which has been OF so much
value to the state.
Evidently the college authorities
took the position that the college
could not afford to pay a man part Of
whose time was devoted to the gen
eral work of upbuilding the state
Prof CzrimsIey held that his outside
work had brought sufficient homo rtO
work had brought sufficient honor to
loss in other directions.
Prof. C5rimsley's expert work in
the Kansas zinc, cement and salt fields
has riven him a national reputation,
and resulted in his being placed in
charge of the Kansas mineral exhibit
at the st. Louis exposition. He is also
secretary of the Kansas Academy of
Science and is doubtless better known
throughout the state than any other
professor Of natural science ever en-
ployed by the college His less viii
be felt not only by the college, but
by the whole state, as it is understood
that he is considering a proposition
to engage in geological work in the
east which would necessitate his re-
moval from Kansas.
Prof GrimsIey first requested the
Washburn trustees to grant him a
leave of absence till February 1905,
at which time the second semister of
the college year begins. This was re-
fused. He then withdrew this request
and asked that he be allowed to con-
tinue as professor OF mineralogy and
geology at a reduced salary. and dc
outside work of a comm ercial nature.
This was also refused and then MI
Grimsley resigned. In his letter tc
the board Of trustees Prof. Grimsley
set forth his position as follows:
In reply to a recent resolution
adopted by your board, and some re-
marks made in converse ton with
your president which have in part

Proposes to Organize a Church
in Topeka.
He Will Stay Here to Start an
Ediflce.
CALLS HIMSELF POPE.
Wears Wonderful and Brilliant
VestmentS.
He Does Less Healing Now Than
Formerly.

Pope August Schrader. head of the
Divine Catholic church. is in town for
the purpose of lining up the f1fty-six
members which he claims to have
here, and to begin the construction Of
a church building for his Topeka con-
gregation. He says he may be here a
month. A. r. Cordry of Kansas City.
Mo, who holds the job of overseer in
Schraders church, will be in town this
evening to assist the pope. There will
probably be a meeting of the faithful
within a day or so.
Schrader achieved fame by his work
as a healer. Marvellous cures were
attributed to him. He has gone out
OF the healing business mostly now,
because he has got something better.
His Divine Catholic church is a great
institution. 1t ought to be better than
q tontine life insurance company as
money maker. 1t claims mem ber-
ship of 10000, and one-fourth of all
the money which every church con-
tributes goes to Schrader to pay the
expenses of the organization. Not only
that. but every dollars worth of prop
erty purchased by the church is deed
ed to Schrader instanter He is the
whole works. 1t looks almost as good
as the John Alexander Dowfe proposi-
ton.
Schrader was asked today what he
LAOuSHL u lne DOWle graft. He said
1T is not for me to judge or to
condemn. That is left to God The
Bible says, Judge not that We be not
judged
Brotherly love seems to be the basis
of Schrader's belief. He saws he
thinks any good man who has been
baptized will go to heaven, whether
he is a member of the Divine Catholic
church or not. He does not believe in
condemning anybody or anything. His
idea is to teach people to do right.
and not roast the wrongdoers.
Pope Schrader never went to school
q day in his life. For that reason he
cut all the Roman Catholic Latin
ritual out of his special brand of rei-
gion. Schrader also had wife when
he decided to organize his Divine
Catholic church, so he eliminated
celibacy as a requisite of the priest
hood Otherwise, the Divine Catholic
church is merely a plagiarism of Ro-
man Catholicism. Schrader says he
has the confessional. believes in abso-
luton and all the other Roman Cath
Ole forms of worship. Schrader dis
covered the Divine Catholic church
eight years ago at Kokomo, Ind
where he organized his first church
Tor some time Schrader was merely a
bishop Of the church. Then he was

by jumping overheard A boat was
launched, and the skipper, limp and
alive, but unconscious, was dragged
from the water and taken back TO his
vessel All efforts TO restore conscious
ness failed and Fercn passed away
within al hour. He was buried at sea

Eerem's nine-year-O son. Captain
Eerem is said 10 have consumed con
siderable liquor during the time his
ship was On the sound, but his officers
say he was sober when he jumped into
the sea. The ship was four days out
from Bellingham when he committed
suicide. and Ferem had touched no in
toXicants during the voyage.
He came on deck about Z O'Clock the
morning Of August and Joined his
son and Mate Holmstrom on the quar-
terdeck. He appeared to be much as
Usual and in good spirits. Suddenly he
walked quickly to the rail. glanced
eloft and seemed about to give some
order. Without saying a word, how
ever, he climbed the rail and leaped
into the sea
The ship was hove 10. e boat lowered
and within nfteen minutes the Spar
tan's sailors were pulling the dripping
. body Of their captain into the lifebOat
Everything that the sailor nurses
could think Of was tried TO aroust
Ferem from the stupOr into which he
had lspsed. Fainter and fainter grew
the heart beats and long before the
sailors had ceased their efforts the cap
tain's pulse had given its last throb.
Ferem was a native Of Norway, 45
years Of age. He leaves a wife and
family in this city. Ills brother, John
Ferem, was for many years superin-
tendent OF the Sailors Home at this
port. Captain Ferem was well known
in the local shipping world. Mate
Holmstrom ascribes Captain Ferem's S
act 10 a sudden fit OF insanity.

ber of bottles of ginger ale opened and

We are inclined to credit the evidence of

tunity TO have Mr.. Stevens present at the

N. o. Hart, accused OF stealing a

Fritz how it came to pass. Covered by
his own blanket, Mr. Hart said, he
was slumbering upon the sand of a
vacant lot south of Market street
when some INSCRIPTIONS thief pur-
loined his covering. He was awak-
ened by the chill morning fog pene-
trating his system and if he had not
right there and then enveIoped him
self in the blanket which he found
upon the horse the consequences to
his health would surely have been
most serious. as he was of fragile
physical constitution and peculiarly
susceptible to colds. He hoped his
sentence would be light one and the
court informed him that it would,
provided no previous larcenies are
raked up to confront him when he re-
appears before the tribunal to-day.

Max r. Ettinger, whose son Will
liam is before Judge Fritz on a charge
of burglary. has filed with the court
/ an affidavit setting forth that since
childhood the defendant has been a
somnambulist and has frequently
wandered away from his home while
fast asleep. When he was between

cot and found asleep in clothes bas-
ket, and often after that he was dis
covered slUmbering in various parts

from his bed while he was sleeping.
While on fishing excursion with his
father the lad often repeated his SOM
nambulistic performances and the
night following the day of his moth
er's death, May 80, 1898, he wandered
TO vacant lot at Sutter and Webster

slumber when found by a searching
party These statements the court is
asked to take into consideration with
the charge against young Ettinger.
