hour Sunday, taking as his text Colos.
slams, Bird chapter and 18th verse. "And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by HIM -
A powerful sermon, deep in thought
and conviction was preached at .tne
Presby terian church Sunday morning by
the pastor, Rev. A. s. Allen. The
preacher used as his text Joshua, i; Iii,
and taught his hearers that Gods agen-
cies used for the salvation of the world
would come and go, but His work would
go on forever. He encouraged his con-
gregation by saying that although we
shed tears of love and sympathy for that
beloved pastor on his departure, that
his departure need not necessarily mean
failure. The case of Joshua 8 leadership
Of the lsrealites, as Moses successor,
was used as an illustration.
A goodiy number of new converts were
baptized Sunday afternoon near the
tent where, for two weeks, there has
been in progress most successful pro-
tracted meeting.

Japan to modify her demands. The

bile. Accident.

Newport, r. L, Aug. 21.-Vincent
Walsh, the 18-year-old son of Thomas
F. Walsh of Colorado, has been killed
in the worst automobile accident that
has occurred at Newport in recent
years. With him in his 40 horse pow
er machine at the time were Mrs.
James L. Kernochan of Hampstead,
the cross country rider and whip;
Miss Evelyn Walsh, his 16-year-old
sister; Harry Oelrichs and Herbert
Pell. All of them were seriously in
jured. Miss Walsh suffered a fracture
of the right leg.
The accident that resulted in young
Walsh's death occurred at a bridge
over a small stream between Newport
and Easton's beach. Walsh had taken
Mrs. Kernochan, his sister and two
friends out in his big machine after
luncheon at the Clambake club. He
was driving the big machine at a lively
clip when the tire of the rear right
wheel exploded and the wheel snap
ped off.
In a second the giant car had
bounded into the air, swerved to the
right, smashed the top rail of the
bridge, which is six by three inches,
and plunged into the creek. As the
machine smashed through the rail-
ing, the broken top rail struck Walsh s
head with such force that he died
within an hour. The automobile drop
ped six feet into the stream. 1t

panions were caught beneath the ton

NO NANCE IN KANSAS.
So John B. Baker. Commissioner,
Wants Restrictions Removed

John B. Baker, state live stock COM
missioner says that an arrangement
viii probably be made with the govern
ment officials by which the government
quarantine for mango which has existed
against the whole state of Kansas since
last May will be lifted as far west as
the west line of Barton county.
Complaint about this quarantine has
been made by three stockmen from Ell
Dorado, who went to st. Louis with
cattle, and although the cattle were per-
fectIy healthy, they were unable to dis
pose of them until the cattle had sllrunk
and the price had gone off, because of
the attitude of the government inspec-
tor.
Mr.. Baker said today: 1T is true that
this quarantine against mango was is
sued against the state last May. The
order was issued by Secretary Wilson
of the department of agriculture
have taken the matter up with Albert
Dean, the United States commissioner
at Kansas City, and I expect to reach
an understanding with him by which
the quarantine will be raised as far
west as Barton county,
Mr.. Baker says that the Texas fever
situation in southern Kansas is un-
changed, and that it is not spreading.

MILLERS ARE COMING.
Write That Terms for State Fair Have
Been Accepted.

Secretary Charles Samson of the State
Fair association received a telegram to-
day from the Miller Bros, of the 101
ranch of Bliss, Oklahoma, accepting the
offer made to them by the Fair associa-
tion, and it is now an assured fact that
the Miller bunch of attractions will be
seen at the fair each day. According
to their contract they will put on a free
attraction each day in front of the
grand stand. These exhibitions will con-
sist of broncho busting, roping, Indians
and cowboy riding and various other
western sports. Aside from the free ex-
hibitions the Millers will have a big
wild west show which will be held un-
der a separate enclosure. There will be
a band of about 100 cowboys and Ponca
and Otoe Indians as well as several
cars of wild horses and mules used in
putting on the 101 ranch attractions.
The 101 ranch band uniformed in cow
boy costume, will be another of the at
fractions furnished by the Millers. This
band will be one of the free attractions
each day.

POINT FOR THE DEFENSE
Court Refuses to Dismiss Mrs. Tag
gart's Cross Petition.

Wooster, O.. Aug. 21.-When the Tag
CART divorce case opened today Attorney
Sterling for the plaintiff made an ad-
dress to the court in which he claimed
Mrs. Taggart, as a nonresident of Ohio,
has no right in court here except in an
swer to her husbands petition, and that
she cannot under the laws of Ohio. be
granted a divorce, being here by right
only to make a general denial of her
husbands claim. Sterling said Mrs.
Taggart's cross petition is really no
cross petition, in that it does not state
a cause of action; that no summons has
been issued on the cross petition and
served on the defendant.
The whole matter is alleged to be
