The Senate and House have
both passed the bill which has
been drafted for the purpose of
saving the Western Kansas school
land to the present occupants of
the laud. Ii was introduced in
the Senate as Senate bill No. |,
and in the House as No. Z. The
two bills were Identical, aud there
was no opposition to them in
either body. The bill provides
that the holders of the old school
land certificates, for which the
forfeiture notices have been de-
clared invalid, must pay up on
their land within six months after
the law goes into effect or be
barred from afterwards asserting
their claims. There is said to be
some ooubt in the minds of the
best lawyers as to the validity of
the law. but the western Kansas
people are willing to take their
chances with it.

Hundreds Of petitions asking
for the passage of the bill to pro-

MEETING OF BALTIMORE PRESBYTERY.

The 29Oth meeting of the Presbytery
of Baltimore has been in session in Bethel
church this week, beginning On Monday
evening with an eloquent sermon by Rev.
John Timothy Stone, of Brown Memorial
church, Baltimore. Rev. S. Nj. Engle,
pastor of the church. was the retiring
moderator.
The October meeting is the eventful one
of the year, during which vast volume
of business is transacted, and in the spirit
of friendship, as we'll as reciprocity, the
session is generally held in the country,
where the tempting fruits of the earth are
at that season In their highest stage OF
perfection. True, Bethel is about eight
miles from the railroad and the congrega-
tion is purely a country one, but what
does distance count for when hospitable
homes are opening wide their doors at
one end of the trip. and the prize teams
of Hartford are at the disposal of guests
to reach the house of business at the
other end ?
Hartford holds a proud record in the
Presbytery, since her membership far ex-
ceeds that of any other county in the
state, and in no section of the county is the
feeling for their mother church so strong
as at Bethel. This statement not to be
read by residents of Churchville)
Historic Bethel was established In the
wilderness of Upper Node Forest" Bal
timore, now Hartford county, before
1869. Its name means "The house of
God, and the gate to Heaven" From
the first its congregation has been notori-
ously free from the discussions which
have retarded the progress of many Of
her sister churches. The sturdy man.
hood and womanhood which worshipped
in this church, even at the risk of attacks
of citizenship which has always distin-
| guished that community.
Bethel has had many distinguished
| pastors. The first on record was Rev.
| John Clark. who took charge of the
church in 1869. Before that time the
pulpit was occupied by supplies from
New Castle and Donegal Presbyteries.
Since then the pastors have been George
Luckey, George Morrison, Sr., Andrew
