Reports have it that the Fortuna
Mining property had been sold to an
English syndicate who will imme-
diately commence extensive develop
ment of that famous old property.
The Fortuna is situated below Can
anea, and it IS a mine with a history
carrying it back to a period before
the advent of the white man, having
been worked in d privative way by
natives. 1t was also worked thirty
years ago in crude way by early
Mexican miners. The veins run high
in copper. gold and silver, and was
worked for the gold and silver
values in the early days. Among
the fortunate who will reap benefit
from the sale are P. J. Tenancy,
John Campbell, NJ. ]. Thomas, Kemp,
Dougherty, Olney and others of Can
anea. The price paid tor the prop

STATISTICS FROM ENGLAND
How Churches and Sunday Schools
Of the United Kingdom Grew
During Last Year.

The statistics Of the Baptist and
Congregational bodies of England for
1905 indicate considerable progress in
both Of them during the year. Taking
the Congregational first, the number of
churches has increased in the United
Kingdom by II. the total now stand
ing at 1906 The increase in sittings
is over 100000, in church members
over 16,500. in Sunday school schol.
ars nearly $4,000, and in teachers more
than 500. AS to the Baptists, they
have eight more chapels than they
had in the previous year, 1.164 more
more sittings. S1,752 more members,
S7S more teachers and 11.712 more
scholars. In both denominations, the
gratifying increase in church men,
bership comes chiefly from Wales
The Sunday schools of the United
Kingdom at the end of 1905 reached
the splendid total OF 7,364,304 and
teachers numbered 679,S16. This is an
increase on the previous year of 64,664
scholars and 5.19S teachers. The dis
tribution Of these large numbers OF
teachers and scholars over the various
churches is interesting. The Evangel-
ical Free churches lead the way with
410,543 teachers, and S,569,149 schol-
ars. Next come the Established
churches with 20S.94S teachers, the
scholars numbering 3.056.79S. In the
Scottish and Irish Presbyterian
churches, there are 55,34O teachers
and 744,41S scholars; while there are
unclassified 4,4S5 teachers and 1924
scholars Here also is seen the wei,
come fruitage Of the Welsh revival;
for the increase in the twelvemonth OF

OTHER SIDE or THE BAR.
Why the saloonkeeper on One Side
Wore Diamonds and the Gus
toner Had None.


A gentleman Of my acquaintance,
given to the excessive use Of strong
drink, recently gave up the habit that
was hurrying him to destruction, and
has become most temperate man
Noticing the change that had como
over the man and his family within
the past five months, L ventured to
ask him what had led him to give
up the habit. His answer is good
argument against the rum seller.
Said he:
ut was my custom in going to my
work every morning, and coming
home from my work In the evening to
drop some money over the counter for
drinks. had been doing this for
years, but seldom saw the proprietor,
as he was asleep when called at his
place in the morning and at his meals
when | came in the evening. One day
met him behind the bar, his clerk
having suddenly been taken Ill. In
his cravat / noticed magnificent dia.
mond pin. AS he handed me the glass
over the bar | noticed costly dia-
mond ring on his finger. From his
watch chain hung charm that spar
kled with diamonds.
How is it, asked, that you can
wear such expensive diamonds and
cannot? Friend, said the saloon
keeper, you are on the other side OF
the bar"
1t makes all the difference in the
world on what side of the bar man
may be. The man who goes into a
saloon never gets on the side Of the
bar where the money is made. The
man who buys drinks is on the wrong
side OF the bar. The man who spends
his money for rum would better
throw 1t into the Atlantic ocean.
There would then be chance Of its
being washed up, and doing some one
some good The man who spends his
money for rum gets nothing in return
The man who pays his hard-earned
money to the bartender when his fam
lily is starving is a brute of the low
est type and will only receive the re-
ward of hell No drunkard can enter
the Kingdom OF Heaven. Young man,
look out for the other side of the bar.

CONVERSIONS IN CHINA.
Evidence That the Efforts Of Mission
aries Of Inland Mission Are Je-
ing Well Repaid.

Mr.. Clinton, of the China Inland Mis-
sion at Changzteh, Human Province.
China, writes Of many encouraging con-
versions. One is a farmer, 81 years of
age, who walks two miles to church
every Sunday, rain or shine. Another is
soldier. 46 years Of age, who announced
in soldier fashion: MY decision is:
Will follow Jesus" One, = landowner,
A years Of age, came to himself and to
God after recovery from what was be-
lieved to be his death bed. His family
have followed him into the church. Ii
Uin-Chang, an ornament maker, AZ
years OF age, and Flu Hong-Ping, brick
layer. 40 years of age, are two other re-
cent converts. Many more Mr.. Clinton
mentions by name. some won in the
preaching services, some in the hos
pital, others by personal visitation.
Another incident giving great encour-
agement has been the gift of the gov
ernor Of Human of 1000 taels (about
$1,000, towards the China Inland Mis-
sion hospital in Changsha. The change
of attitude toward the foreigner, that
such gift signifies, is almost incredible.
Thirty years ago the C. |. M. first at
tempted to work this province, and 10
years ago one of its missionaries first
entered the city Of Changsha. but he was
soon escorted out again by the officials.
So strenuously have the officials and
literati opposed the incoming foreign
er that it was not until 1901 that DR..
Keller and the evangelist LII succeeded
in renting the first mission premises in
that city.
To those who remember the repeated
and frequently unsuccessful attempts
which have been made to gain entrance
into this province, says the Record OF
Christian Work. this news of the gov
ernor's gift will call forth praise to
God for the favor and consequently en-
larged opportunity for useful service
that this gift indicates.

In comparing the drink bill Of
England and Wales with the amount
contributed to foreign missions, an
English paper says that the amount
raised for missions in 1904 was ST.
100000: the amount spent for drink
in the same year was sS44. 1886, 900.
The amount raised for foreign mis-
sions in the whole Protestant world
during 1904 did not exceed $40 ,0OO, 900.
That is, England and Wales spent AZ
times as much for drink as all
Protestantism gave for foreign mis-
sions. The drink turned men at home
into heathens. and the missions turned
heather into Christians The Ad-
vance.

A missionary, Miss Cox. OF the North
African mission, writes that five young
men recently came in to say that they
had determined to follow Christ. They
belong to those who are often said to
be unconvertible-Mos They had
been impressed first in the mission
school. but had left and subsequently
sank deep into sin. Now they have
returned after many days. ready to con
fess Christ, and did so publicly amid
the taunts Of their fellows. The spirit
OF inquiry is spreading. but the opposi.
tion is fierce. One night le path to
the mission house was strewn with
thorns, and, as many of the inquirers go
barefoot, the result was a number Of
wounded feet.

tior, a mem bershiD which will be of a
size proportionate with the business
and Industrial Importance of the town,

last meetisg of the club by Clarence
d. Skinner from the membership
committee with suggestion that
each member of the club devote a
half day to canvass of the business
men in his neighborhood and secure
their application for. membership in
the club. The suggestion of Mr.. Skin
ncr met with a hearty response from
those who were present at the meet
ing. At the present the membership
of the club amounts to only two hum
dred and scventy-five and it is hoped
that before the first of the year 1t will
be increased to more than five hun
dred-
A circular letter. with card en-
closed for a reply, was sent to each
member of the club today by the Of
ficerS of the mem bership committee,
and as soon as the replies are in the
men who volunteered their services

and thorough canvass for new mem
bers made. The letter sent out is as
follows:
Topeka. kan. Nov. Fl, 1906.
The Commercial club will be expect
ed to bear the preliminary expense of
organizing and securing proper legis-
lation the coming winter to promote
the Semicantennial Exposition of 1911.
An effort will be made to double the
membership of the club If this can
be done it Will not be necessary to
solicit funds or call on members of
the club for additional contributions
for this purpose.
Organizations similar to our Com
rnercial club are sustained in every
city and town of any importance in
the entire country by public subscrip-
tons by the people who are interested
in the growth and welfare of the COM
munity. Topeka ought to have at
least 500 members. The annual dues
are $1,000 payable quarterly. No ad-
mission fee. Every property owner
and business man in Topeka ought to
be willing to contribute the small sum
of SIP per year to properly start the
exposition 1t is proposed to make a
systematic canvass for new members
dividing the city into blocks for this
purpose and completing the work
within three or four days. Are you
willing to serve on a committee in
your or some other locality for one
half day? If so, please sign and return
the enclosed card to the secretary
when you will be advised as to the
names of the other members Of the
