United Presbyterian Church.

United Presbyterian Church.
In about five minutes during the
morning service at the United Pres
byterial church Sunday, sum OF
about $50 was raised for the improve
ments in the church building. That
amount clears up the small deficit
which remained from the cost of the
late improvements and provides for
the new gas light which will be IN
stalled in the near future. The APP
probation of members of the church
for the improvements in the building
was shown by the rapidity with WHICH
they responded to the call for money.

A cash bond of $500 has just been
filed with the district court for the
appearance of John Carney, who es-
capped from custody while under in
dictment during the February term of
the court. He was one of the three
boys, all under age, who broke into
the Neagle grocery and we're indicted
by the February grand jury for break
ing and entering. None of the boys
were able to furnish bonds, and after
being arraigned before the district
judge, were being taken back to the
through the alley between the jail and
the court house. John White and
John Ryan were both sentenced to one
year in the county Jail and are now
serving out their terms. Nothing was
heard of the escaped young man until
at the time OF the Gollmar Bros cir.
Gus on May IL, when he returned to
his home. When the sheriff learned
of his whereabouts he went to see him
and found him seriously Ill with ty
phoid fever and in an unfit condition
to be removed to the jail, and he was
allowed to remain at home during his
sickness. His bond had been placed
at $4,000, but was later reduced &c
$500. which his parents have furnished
and he will now be again brought be
fore the court during the coming tern
which convenes October /.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items Of Interest Cleaned from Pull
pit and Sanctuary.

Sunday was remarkable day among
church-going people of the city in that
it marked the beginning of the work
Of two new pastors in the city after a
long period OF irregular services in
both the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches. 1t had been announced that
Rev. A. o. Broyles would take up his
work here the week before, but it
was impossible for him to reach the
city in time as he moved here from
Nebraska, but he and his family are
now on the field and regular services
will be conducted every Sunday both
morning and evening and the mid
week prayer meeting on Thursday.
The attendance at the services yester-
day was unusually large and the mem
bers of the organization feel much en-
couraged over the new start the church
has taken. Rev. Alex McFerran, late
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Terre Haute, Ind, preach
ed his first sermon as pastor of the
local Presbyterian church yesterday
and he is now here to stay although
his family will not move to the city for
some little time yet. Rev. McFerran
has created a very favorable Impress
ion during his visits here and there
are prospects for much good as the
result of his work.

RUFF TRIAL SLOW.
Great Pains Taken in Examination of
Jurors.

San Francisco, Cal, April 3.-The trial
of Abraham Ruef for extortion was re-
sunned this morning before Superior
Judge Dunno with Ta1esmen Angelo L.
Duberu under examination by the de-
fense. Attorney Ach questioned Duberu
rninutely as to what he had read in the
newspapers regarding the graft investi-
CATION and the indictment of Ruef.
Counsel for Ruef had in court many
bound files and large bundles of local
newspapers and 1t was their intention
to read aloud sections of articles there
from to test the qualifications of each
talesnan ia turn.
That this would not be permitted,
however was made apparent when
Judge Dunno sustained spirited objec-
ton interposed by Special Prosecutor
johnson. Nor was Ach allowed to
spread out the newspaper files in such
a position that the headlines would be
read by the talesn1en. He was required
by the court to resume his usual seat
at the counsel table and from there ask
his questions.

Senator Arthur Brown of Utah in a hotel
in this city December last, will plead

brought here at government expense to
testify in her behalf. Accompanying this
motion Is an affidavit in which Mrs Brad
ley says she is unable to pay expenses of
witnesses 1t is declared that the defense
expects to prove by the witnesses that
any act she committed that day was the
result of her diseased condition of mind
for which she is not responsible"

H0CH IS PLEASED.
State Going to Be Dry at Last, Says
the Governor.

1.-The result of the election pleases
me exceedingly. believe we are really
going to have dry state at last
Governor Hoch
1.-The elections show that the people
of Kansas want the laws of the state
obeyed. / think the chances are good
that the state will be really dry with
in 80 days. There are now only four
counties where the law is openly and
def1antly violated: Leavenworth, Craw-
ford, Cherokee and Atchison. .''-Attor-
ney General Jackson.
These are the sentiments expressed
this morning by the chief claw enforce
ment" officers of the state over the re-
suits of yesterdays elections.
Both Governor Hoch and Attorney
General Jackson were feeling especially
delighted over the defeat of ex-Mayor
Rose in Kansas City. They consider
that the election means that Kansas
City will be kept dry during the next
two years, at least
'W nat will be the policy of Mayor
Everhardy of Leavenworth? was ask
ed of Attorney General Jackson.
IT don't know" was the reply. HE
has never discussed it with me. 1 am
inclined to think the law in Leaven-
worth will be enforced, but believe
that the fight against it will be more
I think that Atchison is not unwilling
to close up the saloons, if it finds that
it must. Although Mayor Everhardy
has practically confessed judgment in
the custer suit against him, this judg-
ment, if rendered, will not apply to his
new term.
II am inclined to believe that within
80 days the joints at Pfttsburg will be
closed. People down in Crawford and
Cherokee counties may not be much in
favor of the prohibitory law, but they
are coming to respect it because it is
the law, and are getting tired of seeing
law hagrant1y violated
Fight a Motion to Dismiss.
Judge. David M. Dale of Wichita. for
merly candidate for governor on the
Democratic ticket, was in Topeka to-
day, for the purpose of arguing a mo-
ton in the supreme court to set aside
the order to take testimony in the ous-
ter suit against Finley Ross, the retir-
ing mayor of wichita Judge Dale
argued that as Mayor Ross would be
out of office before the custer could be
rendered against him, the state might
as well drop the case
John Dawson, assistant attorney gem
eral, who presented the case for the
state, objected to any order setting
aside or dismissing the action. His
argument indicated that the attorney
generals department is inclined to push
the custer case against Ross to a judg-
ment, and force Ross to pay the costs.

United States district court today over
ruled the motion of the Standard Oil COM
pany that the case brought against them
charging the illegal taking of rebates be
dismissed, and ordered the trial to Lro-
ceed.
The dismissal of the case was asked on
the ground that the government had failed
to make out the case outlined in the in
dictments. In announcing his decision
Judge Lands said.
1T is the view of the court that the de-
fendant is presumed to have known the
law of the usual rate, because il is pre-
sumed to have known the law forbidding
the use of any rate that is not the pub
lished rate. Under the law the shipper
must ascertain the rate and guide himself
accordingly"
