Dear Sir:
! read with amusing interest your
reply to my letter, amusing because it re-
minded me of the spoiled boy, who, when
he can't have his way will take his toys up
and leave his other companions, saying 81
won't play with you, and you can't play with
my things unless YOU let me Boss the show"
Well, my good Sir, the time for one man
or boy bossing q show is past. We are in
a cooperative age and if we don't cooper
ate we can't expect good results. Now, to
be more serious and to the point. In your
letter you made certain statements, and
came to conclusions that are not compatible
with the truth, and it is this part of the
letter that concerns me most-for [ am eve
~ inch of what my name implies. | did not
purposely leave out the dates you so
bitterly complained of. l did not have
them to hand, consequently they were
left out. But, what about yonr statement
viz. 81 am also glad to inform you-the
half holiday will be an established fact
on 9th inst. when all the principal stores
will give the holiday. Your day came, and
how many of your "More in favour" closed ?
BY actual count 4 business places in the
community. You see no reason for inter
v%eution by any one and you do not consider

Hoyer, how con you make'compel' and 'agree-

agreed, then to ask Government to legalize
it-.Can you see the differe- ce now? Your
first attempts at q half holiday show, that
"pal ties concerned" cannot 'easily arrange
between themselves" Do you see other
reasons now than, 9Th everlasting country

think, and much easier to accomplish than
your half day. In the 1st place the Law
provides (as the Editor kindly pointed out)

consequently those in favour of it would
only like q few more hours added. Don't
you think that easier ? Now let us see

CHARGED With Arson

French Taylor, a negro was arrest
ed late yesterday afternoon BY Con
stable Chas. Shirk on the charge OF
arson. Taylor is accused by Champ
McCaleb, another negro, with setting
fire to a frame cottage in Ayenue-E'
west some time ago. Quite a good
deal of damage was done to the
house because of the fire.
Investigations showed that the fire
had started in a corner where there
was a pile Of shingles. A new porch
was being built onto the house and
part of the roof had been torn Off,
Constable Shirk secured a good dea
of evidence and will use this against
Taylor at his preliminary hearing
which is to be before Justice Of the
Peace Snyder. Taylor was put under
$500 bond by Judge Snyder and was
sent to Jail in default of furnishing
the bOnd.-Hutchinson News, Sept. z
Taylor formerly lived in this city
being at one time with the Briggs
hotel.

the first new moon after the autumn

to some well informed members Of
the race, the Jewish New Year was
formerly a pagan festival celebrating
the birth Of autumn when the earth
ceases from production for the year
and begins to store up energy for
the following spring. Its origin is
In some ways similar to the Chris

Is an adoption of an ancient heath

When the Jewish nation was in e1

casion Of great rejoicing. During

In their tabernacles and the priests
offered up sacrifices. The young me
danced and every one was expected
to be happy. Since the Jewish ma.

BRYAN Wave Spreading.


Reports received from the various
parts Of Kansas indicated that the
Bryan wave which reached the boun-
diaries Of the state a few weeks ago,
has proven to be Of mammoth pro-
portions. A. N. benson, travelling
man representing the Equitable Life
Insurance Company Of New York City
returned to Topeka Saturday evening
after a week spent in the northern
portion of the state. They talk
of the Bryan sentiment being confin.
ed to this part Of the state" said
Mr.. Benson, "and expect the bust
ness men Of Topeka to believe 1t.
Let me tell you. There is no Bry.
an sentiment in this city when com.
pared with the smaller towns in
the northern part Of the state throug
which he travelled for the7past thirty
days.
Ninety per cent Of the traveliLs
men whom meet on the road are
Bryanites though many Of them con
tess that they never thought Of vot-
ing a Democratic ticket before in
their lives. Nor Is the sentiment all
against Judge Taft for on all sides the
talk Is strong for Mr.. otkin and
Senator Farrelly and my guess Is thai
the entire state ticket viii receive
the benefit Of this socalled Bran
sentiment The business men are
talking It, the preachers are preach
ing 1t, and the farmers are cult
waiting it. and it's no wonder that
the harvest promises to be a bit
one. At Mankato, a town Of between
one and two thousand population
there are six ministers and every
one of whom are Bryanites.'

Rev. W.stxood at Hutehlnson

Rev. Westwood at Hutchinson
In its account Of the dedication Of
the new Presbyterian church at Hut
Crimson, the News says:
Rev. Westwood gave the charge to
the people In talk which was hum
orous and original. 1t stated facts
and truths. He said that people
should not expect things Of the preac
or which they did not expect Of
themselves: that they should allow
him to be a man among men and
that the responsibility Of the con-
gregation and the individuals was as
great as that Of the pastor,
He said in part:
when man begins any great enter
prise it Is important to have the
full scope Of the movement clearly in
mind. He therefore asks himself at
first: What do l propose to do?
and second, How do propose to do
it?' And If the object is praiseworthy
1t enlists not only the individuals
enthusiasm but also the enthusiasm
of his friends. And If the method of
accomplishing the object be wise it
commands the judgment of all good
people. VIM. Lloyd Garrison had as
the noble object of his life, to create
a sentiment against the veil slavery
and the method he used was plain
speech through the press. Robt. Mann
planned to secure an education for
every poor mans boy and girl and
the method by which he secured
this laudable object was the establish
ment Of the common school. Like
wise Jesus Christ came among men
with an object to accomplish, and
in the last analysis we say that OBJ
iect was to build a perfect manhood.
Now what method did he employ?
"The days of Christ's incarnation
were the days Of greatest strength
of the Roman legions. Yet Jesus haC
no ambition to become a general.
Nor did he seek to yield the power
represented by the scepter of an
earthly monarch. What he did was
to gather men together and bring to
bear upon them those sublime truths
that inspire, sweeten and deepen life
and afterward to organize them into
what is known as a church. Thus
Jesus deliberately chose the church a.
the means of securing the object Of
His mission-a perfect manhood.
Il charge you therefore first that
you have faith in this divine fhstitu
ton called the church and that YOU
give your enthusiasm to help secure
the object for which it exists"
Mr.. Westwood then took up thu
stipulations which had been accedet
to In the installation service and EN-
phasized each point in succession
charging the people to be faithful t
their engagement. The people wer'
charged not only to receive thei
new pastor as a minister of Christ
but also to receive him as man wi
