The Federation of Churches.

Jam estown, Kans-, Aug. IL, 1904.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
During the meeting of the Lincoln
Park chautauqua, recently closed,
movement was started for a Fedora
ton of Churches and Christian Work
erS of the State of Kansas, by the
Rev. Fred Grey, pastor of the Con-
gregationaI church at Stockton. At
the meeting seven different denomi-
nations were represented, five of them
by ministers, and the movement was.
given an impetus which it is expected
will cause it to spread all over the
state.
This federation does not aim at the
obliteration of UNCONVENTIONAL lines as
might be inferred from it's title, but
rather to strengthen them by promot-
ing harmony of action among the va
rious denomination and the cessation
of antagOniStic rivalry and proSelyt-
ism. 1t contemplates a thorough and
systematic visitation of city, town and
country and the securing to every
community the advantages of gospel
ministry. One of its principal aims is
the avoidance of overlapping churches
and the recognition of the general
principle that wherever the religious
needs of a community are being met
no other denomination shall enter that
field. Thus the energy that is being
wasted in competition will be con-
served to be expended in some COM
munity more in need.
Organizations of a similar nature |
exist in New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, |
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and |
Maine, and it is hoped that every |
lover of peace and concord will give |
his sympathy to this movement in |
Kansas, and signify his intention to |
do so by writing Rev. Grey at Stock |
ton who is secretary of the federation. |
Optimistically yours,
ROBERT GOOD.

Only a Mask.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger
than they were. The tan on their
faces is darker and makes them look
healthier. but it is only mask. They
are still nervous, easily tired, upset by
trifies, and they do not eat nor sleep
well. What they need is what tones
the nerves, perfects digestion, creates
appetite, and makes sleep refreshing.
and that is Hoods SarsaDarills Pu-
pills and teachers generally will find
the chief purpose of the vacation best
subserved by this great medicine
which, as we know. builds up the
whole system"

Secretary Taft said in part:

considerably than was projected when

PENDANT.

The assortment of evidence put on
tap was of many colors. The witnesses
were of many walks of life, ranging
from prominent citizens and county
officials to Jail TRUSTEES and an ex-norse
thief. Some of the witnesses included
in the assortment were subject to
lapse of memory which covered all
transactions with the Keith drug store.
Finally, after they had all had their say,
the prosecution chose Shell Curtis, clerk
of the district court; B. F. Powell, an
attorney and Lou Frost the wit
nesses whose testimony was expected to
convict Keith on six counts, or six diff
ferent brands of violation.
The county official had at one time
absorbed a drink in the place, but did
not pay for it. The attorney had swal-
lowed a large number on the premises,
but did not remember who sold them
to him. and the ex-horSe thief had pur-
chased half a pint of booze without
signing the guest-book- The court said
that he would pass in his view of the

During that time the trio had pur-
chased, or at least made application
for about 800 bottles of beer, for the
benefit of indigestion, stomach trouble
and dyspepsia. The beer came in lots Of
from one to Is bottles According to
the receipt books, which were introduce
ed in court, j. r. Pigg bought IS bot
ties of beer on June 20 for the cure of
indigestion.
He evidently cured that malady, but
the cure brought on acute dyspepsia,
for the cure of which he purchased
dozen bottles June g. He had frequent
relapSeS into his dyspepsia for about so
days after this. and altogether had to
his credit grand total of 382 bottles.
The prosecution attempted to show that
this was entirely too much for the cure
of one man, and that the selling drug
gist knew it. Three prison TRUSTEES,
John Dalgreen, Frank Summerlot and
Charles Boyer, were turned out to tes-
tify. They had purchased, but always
signed, SO their evidence was not worth
the rs cents each which they received
as fees. Dalgreen served out his last

other.

Additional Torpedo Tubes Cause of
Delay in Construction.
The Brooklyn Eagle announces that
September 20 has been decided upon as
the day on which the biggest and pre-
sumably the best hattleship in the uni
ted States navy, the Connecticut, now
under construction at the Brooklyn
navy yard, will be cut loose from her
ways and launched into the water of

celebration of an event that is of such
Importance to our navy. Not only as
the largest and most powerful vessel
will the Connecticut make her appeal,
but as the only frst-class battleship
constructed by Uncle Sam himself.
Indirectly the Russo-J apanese war
has been responsible for a serious de-
lay in the progress of the work. Owing
to the demonstration of the immense
value of torpedoes that has been given
by the war in the east, the navy de-
partment issued an order stopping GER
tain features of the work on the ship.
Tt is proposed to equip the Connecticut
with underwater torpedo tubes that
were not provided for in the original
specifications. The installation of these
will make necessary a complete change
in the construction of certain portions
Eof the ship. The naval authorities have
not yet reached final decision as to
the installation of the tubes, and until
they do no progress can be made on
certain parts
At the present time the stern is near
ly all closed in. The struts and rudder
posts have all been bored. This is a
feature of the work that required con-
siderable time. Many of the bulkheads
are already in position. seventy-two
of the r-tight compartments have
been tested and, ais a telling evidence
Of the quality Of the work that is being
done, it will suffice to state that in only

the boilers has promised to have them
ready by September. This is several
months ahead of the contract time.
