1905 for extensive frauds in connection
With the Lands Allotment company

For the last two years Balfour had
acted as librarian of the prison. 1t is

the Argentine republic from which he
was e~xtradited before his trial, where
IL is said he holds interests in differ

that the poor middle class Of England
lost about $4,000, 900 by Balfour's

Balfour numbered his victims by

FIRST SCIENCE CHURCH.
Followers of Mrs. Eddy in Oconto,
Wis. Pioneers in Movement
Built Church in 1886.

Green Bay, Wis.-Perhaps there is
no MOI rmarkable fact in connection
with the Christian science movement
than that the first church of this de-
nomination should have been built in
the comparatively unknown city of
Oconto, in Wisconsin. 1t was in 1866
while Mrs. Mary Baker b. Eddy was
a resident of Lynn. Mass, that the
discovery on which is based the
Christian Science religion came TO
her. 1t seems remarkable that it was
20 years before the now worldwide
movement had gained sufficient head
way to warrant the erection of a
church building, and that the first
church should have been built in a
small and obscure town, thousands of
miles from the section where the
movement had its inception.
1t was in 1856 that a little group of
men and women residing in Oconto,
who had been students Of the teach
.ngs of Mrs. Eddy, undertook to build
a church 10 he used by the followers
Of Christian Science. A lot was given

FIRST KANSAS CAPITOL
HISTORIC BUILDING NEAR FORT
RILEY FALLING INTO RUINS.
Was Meeting Place of Gov. Reeder's
Territorial Legislature-Town of
Pawnee Turned Into Mill
tary Reservation.

Kansas City.-Two miles east OF
Fort Riley, on the north bank Of the
Kansas river, is an old stone building
whose ~crumbling walls echoed TO the
first meeting of the Kansas territorial
legislature. The Union Pacific rail.
way passes within a few feet of the
old structure and the overland lin.
1ted' glides by at the rate of so miles
an hour. The residents of the com
1nunity tell with great pride that the
building was the first capitol Of
Kansas"
in 1854 Kansas was organized as .
territory, and in June Of the same year
Gov. ReedeT arrived to assume the
duties Of his office. Fort Riley had
been established in 1852 and ReedeI
conceived the idea that the territorial
capitol should be located in the vi
entity of thte federal post.
Whether he thought such a location
would be benefited by its proximity to
the military post is not known, but at
any rate the prcslavery men did not
take kindly to the idea of travelling
$50 miles to Pawnee, as the new city
was named. Besides, the town was a
free-state settlement and the distance
from Missouri rather discouraged any
assistance from that state In time Of
trouble.
Pawnee had been founded by a party
of Pennsylvanians. At that time the
Kaw was supposed to be n~avigable as
far as Fort Riley, and the settlers
were not impressed by the ~unfavorable
location of their city. Gov. Reeder
was. no doubt. personally interested in
the location of the territorial capital
at Pawnee, since he was a member of
the Pawnee Town association and
owned several acres of land in the vi.
cinity. Gen. Lyon, the hero of Viii
son creek. was then a captain at Fort
Riley and had also invested in the
Pawnee association.
Probably Il substantial buildings
had been erected at the time of the
meeting of the legislature. The bluffs
Of the river valley furnished excellent
building stone, and the lumber had
been hauled from Kansas City by
way of the Santa Fe and Mormon
trails TO Fort Riley. Practically all Of
the legislators came from the eastern
section Of the territory, and two OF
three days were consumed in making
the trip.
July 2 the legislature met in the
stone capitol-the senate on the second
floor and the. representatives below
All but two were pro-slavery men. and
each had decided TO get out of Paw
nee as quickly as possible. II was

LEAD PENCILS OF TO-DAY.
Once Worth Their Weight in Colo
Now Turned Out a Million a
Day.

Many a boy is made happy these
days by a present of half "a dozen pen
ellis with his name printed thereon In
gold letters. Perhaps the name lead
pencil' will last through all time and
eternity, says the New York Press
The original pencil was really made OF
lead, and on the rough paper of the
time a clearly discernible mark. Ger
many led in its manufacture. Our
earliest importations were much
sought after, and non could be bought
with other money than gold coin. a
common lead" pencil was almost
worth its weight in gold, and a mar
who got a supply had to be we'll rec
commended. When a New York mer
chant advertised the arrival of a con
signment of lead pencils" the rush
to buy was pell-mell.
American ingenuity. aided by Ger
man detail, brought this country quick
ly to the front in pencil manufacture
Our enormous forests of cedar and the
discovery of graphite, with the intro
duction of marvellous machinery and
all kinds of labor-saving devices have
brought the daily output mp to 1000,
600 pencils a day. There are statesmen
whose annually bookings amount to
half a million dollars. They give
away hundreds of thousands of pen
ellis to advertise their business. Some
use pencils as personal cards, and ii
met in a casual way will surely have
every pocket stuffed full.

ANCIENT WATER VILLAGES.
Relic Of Old Custom Still in Ge-
man Forest on the y
Spree.

"One of the most interesting regions
In the old fatherland' is the so-called
Spreewald, the forest of the Spree.
situated not far from the German cap
ital, in the province of Brandenburg,"
says Fritz Morris in his article in
the Water Forest of the Spree in the
Technical World Magazine. Each
village is a little Venice, every house
a little island, and these islets are CON
nected by bridges sufficiently raised to
allow boat to pass under them. Most
OF the houses, with their barns and
stables, rest on piles, and there is gen.
orally a strip of artificial terra 1rma,
either in front or at the rear every
building.
BY means of these land strips and of
the bridges the slender land communi-
cation is kept throughout the district,
but most of the business and amuse-
ment is carried on through the canals,
which not only form the main high
ways but penetrate and cross and re-
cross the whole region. 1t is on these
lagoons that all traffic is conducted in
boats during the period from spring,
when the last vistage of frost and ice
are disappearing, until the end OF
autumn. You see the letter carrier
shoot up and down the canals, per-
forming his duties in his frail craft;
the police glide leisurely along the
banks, watching everything going on;
peasants bring the products Of their
toll to the nearest towns; children go
to and from school; young mothers,
dressed in their Sunday clothes, are
rowed to church, carrying in their
arms a small. queer-looking bundle,
from which two large eyes in a tiny
face stare at the stranger in wonder
ment-baby is going to be baptized, an
important moment with this strongly
religious people,"

RUINS OF FIRST KANSAS CAPITOL
understood beforehand that the legis
lature should adjourn and meet al
Shawnee Mission, two miles from
Westport, and the plan vas soon put
into execution. Every man. with the
possible exception of two, was bitterly
opposed TO Reeder. and on July 4 Q
member made a speech about as fol
lows: w are about 10 declare the
acts of Gov. Reeder an u~surpation. II
will be a proud event for Kansas-the
>expelling of the free-sjate delegates
from this body. Kansas is a slave
territory and it should always remain

and as long as We live we will keep
and exert that power. Kansas is sa
cred TO slavery Nothing outside Of
organization was accomplished, and on
July 6 the legislature adjourned to
meet at Shawnee Mission.
The town of Pawnee suffered an un
timely fate in August Of the same
year. The lines Of the military reser.
walton were changed and Pawnee was
included within its limits. The people
were given until October 70 remove
their property and those who believed
that the government was "blufing'
and failed 10 move, experienced the un.
pleasant situation Of having their
houses torn down over their heads
The old capitol, however. was pre-,
served. although no one seems TO know
why it did not share the fate Of the
other buildings.
OF late years a movement has been
on foot TO persuade congress to cede
the old building to the state Of Kan.
sas, but nothing definitely has been
accomplished. The establishment Of
the army maneuvers at Fort Riley
four years ago, brought up the agita.
ton that Kansas ought to repair the
old building and use it as a sort OF
supply depot fer her militia. How.
ever, since congress has decided on
Fort Sill as a permanent military
rendezvous, such a step would he out
of the question. The first capitol OF
Kansas seems doomed TO crumble into
ruins,

HAS A CLEAN RECORD
NO TAINT ATTACHED TO NAME
OF LEVI P. MORTON.
Former Vice President Still Hale and
Hearty at Age of 82-Has Given
Much to Charity - Comes
from Yankee Stock

New York.-During the 50 years
which Mr.. Levi Parsons Morton had
just completed as his span Of active
life the united States and the world
in general have undergone a develop
ment and a change which are even
surprising to Mr.. Morton and himself.
The progress Of science, art and civ
ilization has been so great within the
limit Of his memory that few of the
present younger generation can real
lie what has happened.
While Mr.. Morton has seen this ire
mendous advancement in all lines of
%endeavor, he has accomplished the
proud distinction of being young at
50. He is not by any means an old
mar except as figures go.
Mr.. Morton's name is associated
with success. During all his long
public career as congressman, gov
ernor. minister of France and vice
president, and his private career as a
financier and a distinguished person
of affairs, there has been no smirch
OF his record. In these days when
Undertaking" is so prevalent and so
pronounced Mr.. Morton's name has in
no way been defled.
His modesty is perhaps as well
shown in a recent benefaction to the
hamlet of Rhinecliff, near which his
country estate lies. Rhinecliff is only

president. AS a member of the board
of punishment he was in attendance
from ~ till two and as a minister OF

from two till five or six there. In ad

boards or commissions.
