CHURCH NOTICES.

The Congregational church Of this

three Sundays for the reason that its

having a surgical operation on one Of
his eyes
Rev. DOdd has been gradually grow

he would get him a little farm to sup

TWO .KATY,, CASES.
Railroad Wins in Kansas Supreme
COurt-One in q. S. Court


Thousands Of acres Of the most
valuable farm land in Kansas, tOgeth-
CT with a large amount OF land in
given TO the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
railway by a decision Of the Kansas
supreme court recently
In July, 1856, congress granted to
the Union Pacific railroad company,
southern branch, now the Missouri.
kansas & Texas Railway company, q
right Of way 200 feet wide from Fort
Riley to the south line Of the state
Afterwards patents were issued to pri-
vate persons for land through which
the railroad runs, without excepting
the right Of way. These persons have
treated the right Of way as being only
100 feet wide, and in some cases val
liable improvements have been erect
ed on the outer fifty feet on each side
which have been occupied and used
The railroad company brought suit to
Gust these occupants and the court
decides in its favor
The opinion was written BY Justice
Burch, who said the case must finally
be decided in the United States su-
preme court, as an act Of congress is
involved.
The wide right Of way was granted
to the railroad with the express pro
vision that all troops and munitions of
war should be carried free forever.
This case was on a writ Of ''Ouster"
against trespassers on the right Of
way Of the n. K & 7. in the state OF
Kansas, which il claims was 200 feet
wide from Fort Riley TO the south

In the supreme court OF the United
States on November u Solicitor Gen
eral HOyt filed a motion on behalf OF
the government to dismiss the case Of
the state OF Kansas versus the United
States for the possession Of Indian
territory lan1 claimed to have been
granted the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railway and which is estimated to be
worth upwards Of S1O,OOO.OOO. The
motion is based on the contention that
the state Of Kansas has no substantial
interest in the case.
The above case is the one in which
Governor HOch lent the great name
Of the state OF Kansas to the N. K &
T. It involves title to ten sections Of
land to the mile along the line Of the
railroad in the Indian territory. The
case. in all probability, will be thrown
out Of the United States supreme
court.

cHARAcrE in CATS.

Cats are like children" says a writ
er. Educate them properly and you
can do with them and their characters
even as you will. One of the first
things that impressed itself on my
mind on going round to cat shows as
judge. spectator or artist was the ex-
traordinary difference that exists in the
characters of cats coming from differ
ent parts of the country. Indeed. the
effect that a crowded exhibition and its
surroundings have upon different cats
is really very strange. Most of those
cats which at home are rarely drawn
out of themselves, and which you can
see in an ordinary way, under one or
two conditions of expression. imme-
diately develop a new expression, and
this typifies the effect home life has up
on them. For instance, a cat that has
been treated by its master or mistress
very lovingly and has in normal cir
eumstances seen a number of people
who have praised it and petted it and
entirely new, SNUG, contented and
happy expression when it comes before
the public On the other hand, the ami
NAL that has lived a life of ease, seeing
nobody and nothing beyond its mis-
tress, will exhibit the most striking
of its mistress.
Thus. if the character of the woman
be, in the main. a sullxy or q snappy
one. the erect of the sudden change
upon the cats life will be to bring out
in the cat a sulzy or a snappy DISPOSE

A Valuable Possession.

My lingerie hat is positively over
worked at this time of the year. I
have a box full of different colored
ribbons to go around it. These match
my different gowns, so that I am as
various as the chameleon. Another
point is that my lingerie hat is en-
broidered to match my white linen
parasol-the design is the popular but
terhy one and this "set" idea of hat
and parasol seems to be really the
proper caper this year. Some people
introduce also a high linen belt to
match, but the really effective designs
do not show up we'll on such a small
article, and I think it is enough to
have two things match anyway.
I also bought several plain night
gowns, to be ornamented at what we
call our nightgown sewing bees.
Let me explain.
You know it is getting harder and
harder to find reasonably priced night
gowns in attractive models. You can
find plenty of cheap snowy ones for
SO and "a. but the material and lace
are lamentable. Below that price they
all seem to be high in the neck and
skimpy as to sleeve-in a word. totally
