The First Methodist church is work
ing on a plan to erect a two story ad-
dition, on the west side of the church
facing Sixth street, which is to be used

and favored the plan heartily.

DR.. ". c. Evans, the pastor, immedi-
ately upon his arrival suggested that
some sort of a change be made. The

She is rallying nicely from the effects
of the anesthetfc and her physician has
some hopes of her ultimate recovery. Mr.

Why Kansas City Railroad Doesn't
Want Orient to Cross.

The Kansas City Western, otherwise
known as the Kansas City-Leavenworth
electric line, has fled its answer before
the state board of railroad commission
ers in the application of the Orient rail-
road or Outer Belt terminal, to cross
its tracks near Kansas City.
The LeavenW0rth line claims that oW-
ing to the fifteen-minute service of the
electric line and the steep grades leading
up to the proposed crossing point, it would
be very dangerous to attempt to make
a grade crossing. It says that it is will
ing that the Orient construct an overhead
crossing, or that the Orient should pay
the expense of an overhead crossing for
the electric line, taking the grade cross
ing itself.
