by idle curiosity in the worship Of
their idols.
All this. a. we have said, brought
cheer and satisfaction to the aged
leaders heart, and encouraged the
hope that whatever had been the fall

had been their disobedience and lack
of faith. the people had at last learned
the wisdom and reward OF serving
the true God and would not again de-
part from him. This confidence

sERMoNETTE.

Joshua, the servant Of the
lord."-Such 10 the testimony
Of the writer Of the sacred mar
rative at the close Of the life Of
Joshua. No costly monument
was reared to the memory Of
the great leader, but there has
come down the ages this record
that he served God.
And what greater or moro
enduring record could be writ
ten Of any man? II at once de,
ciares tho character Of such
man; Il testifies to the perma-
nency Of his life work; II gives
assurance Of the abiding lnflu-
ence Of such q life upon the
lives Of others.
Let us consider these points.
First, tho character Of the
servant. He who 10 truly
servant Of God, must be God
like. More Is needed than the
title and the garb Of outward
seeming. The right to the title,
servant Of the Lord" must be
tested by what a man 10 and
does. Not every one that saith,
"Lord, Lord" 10 entitled to the
name and livery Of Servant Of
the Most High" The true serv-
ant 10 one with his master In
purpose and desire. He studies
to know and do the will Of his
master. He delights to DO like
his master and to be identified
with him.. How perfectly was
this expressed In the life Of
Jesus. AZ servant Of God he
lived the God life on earth. Tho
life Of God flowed through him
Just az no would have II flow
through W. The true servant
is the branch which abides In
the vine and obtains Ito life
therefrom.
And now az to what tho SER
want does. The true servant is
busy about his Lords business.
II must be so, else is he disloy-
al and upfaithful. To be a ser
want implies service. The idle,
careless, Indifferent, neslectfuI
servant is no servant at all, and
not worthy Of the name. But
what may we know Of the life
work Of the true servant Of the
Lord7 We may know first that
II has helped work out the eter-
nal purposes Of God In the
world. We may know In the
second place that the measur-
Ing rod Of eternity, not that of
time, must be used to declare
the quantity and quality Of the
work. We may know also that
the service rendered on earth
was but the beginning Of the
service to be rendered In
Heaven. What an inspiration
In the thought that he who
works and builds with God here
works and builds with God for
eternity.
And then there ls the abiding
Influence Of the true servant Of
God, which goes on and on In
ever widening circles among
men. This thought is expressed
In the declaration concerning
Abel, who offered acceptable
sacrifice to God, that "being
dead, he yet speaketh." And
from Abel down take the record
Of the true servants Of the Lord
az set forth In the Word Of
God, and who can estimate the
influence which has gone out
from those lives. Though dead,
they continue to speak their
message to the hearts Of men.
Joshua, the servant Of the
Lord. What a glorious COM
ment on his life. Servant Of the
Lordl May we all strive to be
worthy Of the name and reIa-
tionshIp.

Wichita. Kan.-The railroads are
having trouble in providing suitable
cars for the broomcorn shippers of
Wichita. Never before since Wichita
has reached the place it now holds in
the broomcorn markets of the world
has there been such lack of shipping
facilities. Wichita broomcorn goes to
nearly every country on the face of the
globe South Africa. Australia and
Scotland are especially big buyers and
send representatives here to go over
the broomcorn section Of Kansas and
Oklahoma. These representatives
make 1t their business to ascertain the
condition of the growing crop and to
find where the yield is likely to be
heaviest, and to ascertain the time the
crop will be ready for market, and
other facts that are necessary in the
business. The present growing crop
will be about three weeks late. The
yield. it is estimated. will average
about rs per cent of full crop. The

a little higher than it usually does

the Ohio commission is very broad in
that it holds that the railroads NAV

OF course the ruling of the Ohio

connection with local business in Ohio,

differ in opinion. and that each is
prone to consider it's own opinion the

A SCARCITY OF LABOR.
1t Is Interfering With Santa Fee Work
on Cut OF.

Ottawa, Kan.-The plans to lay the
Santa Fe cutoff with S5-pound steel,
all the way from Holiday to Emporia
are being seriously tnterfered with
because of the lack of laborers.s .f..sf
Already the Santa Fee has had to
take back its policy announced some
time ago of employing no more Mexi-
can laborers, and relying on natives to
do the construction work.
In the last month or two several
gangs of Mexicans have been brought
back to work, coming from the vicin-
ity of Ell Paso. But even these la
borers can not be depended upon to
"stay by the job"
Several gangs of Mexicans were re-
Gently scattered out on the work be-
tween North Ottawa and Olathe. On
Sunday reports showed that all but a
few had left. The Santa Fe is anx-
ious to push the work of reconstruc-
ton along, but the help is lacking.
Workmen on the steel gangs draw
$3.50 a day.
The attention being paid to i'm
provements on the cut off, on which
the double track has only recently
been completed, has started more talk
about the plans to route the main line
passenger traffic that way this fall.

ROCK ISLAND SHOWING.
Wonderful Record Has Been Made
During Past Year.

During the last fiscal year the Rock
Island lines made a wonderful record.
Their gross earnings increased ST.
100000. This in spite of the fact that
the lines were operated under disad-
vantageous circumstances during a
large portion of the year. They had
to pay considerably higher rates of
wages than formerly, and the cost of
all materials used in operation was
considerably greater than in previous
years. Notwithstanding all these
drawbacks net earnings increased by
$4,000, 900.
enough to pay 19 per cent on the pre-
ferred stock, but as that is entitled to
only 4 per cent before the common
comes in for a share that amount
might have been paid and there would
then have been left for the common
stock 9.3 per cent.
In addition to this it should be
stated that the Rock Island in the last
fiscal year expended $5,20O,O0O more
in the maintaining and improving its
lines than in the previous fiscal year
which was one of unusually heavy
expenditures
The fact is the Rock Island has
been carrying out program of ex-
penses of which dividends on the pre-
ferred stock were suspended some time
ago, and all the surplus money was
turned back into the property. This
policy is bearing fruit even in greater
abundance than was expected when it
was adopted. e.-
This policy is contributing literally
to the rapid development of the ter
ritory through which the Rock Island
lines run. That development has
been going on perhaps at a more rap.
id rate than in any other section OF
the country.
1t now is freely admitted that that
section is capable of still. further de-
velopment. The section possesses ca
liabilities and resources most easy of
development, and these assure the
prosperity of the lines in the time to
come.
The new fiscal year has opened
most auspiciously for the road. 1t
sees before it, year of great traffic
possibilities which can be taken adj
vantage of without many of the OBJ
stacles that had to be overcome last
year at great expense. The opening
month of the new fiscal year showed
a large increase in earnings over the
corresponding month last year, and
the current month so far has main
tanned this advance fully.

TO AID THE STRIKERS.
A Settlement of the Lanyon Trouble

at La Harpe Is Possible
Iola.-Yesterday a committee rep

Harpe Lanyon works, who went on
strike ten days ago, completed a
round of the factories. The commit
tee had carried with them a subscrip-
ton paper and this was submitted to
all the workingmen who wished to aid
the men in their strike. 1t is under
stood that several hundred dollars
were raised among all the works,
though a member of the committee
refused to state exactly the success
of the subscription paper.

between the company and the men is
being made. The merchants there
are frightened over the financial out
look even a temporary shut down of
the plant brings. They want the diff
ferences settled, If possible, to the
satisfaction of all concerned. Among
the men there is known to be a diff
ference of opinion. Some of the men
are closed and they have to move.
There is another element of the strik-
ers who wish to return Several of
these were talked to yesterday. They,
however. do not believe in deserving
their fellows. and SO have not gone
back. Whether they will have force
enough to bring about a final settle

of these 100 men has now lasted al

been thrown out of work because they
would neither work or give the po-
