Rev. and Mrs. E. W. Lipscombe left
this morning for their new filed of
work at Biloxi. Their removal causes
general regret, not only by the people
of their own church, but by all who
knew them. Brother Lipscombe is
one of the finest ministers in the
Methodist denomination, and the
people of Biloxi are to be highly con-
graduated upon having such a faith
full and popular pastor. Mrs Lip
scombe was also a faithful worker in
her husbands church, and her in
fiuence and gracious presence will be
sadly missed. However, the best
wishes of host of friends will fol-
low them in their new home.

The negro stated to the officers here
That he shot John Bishop, another ne
gro, in Recess dance han in East ST

mat he did not remain to see whether
he had killed the man or not.
East st. Louis is in Illinois and it
is not known what the statutory re-
ward is for murders, but all the states
offer some reward and it is probable
that the reward is not less than the
reward that Mississippi offers. Kelly

LABOR IN KANSAS.

There is much good food for
satisfying thought in that portion OF
the annual report of w. A. L. john
son the state labor commissioner,
which has just been made public,
concerning the conditions which have
prevailed among the laboring men IN
Kansas during the past year. They
were peaceful to degree, only
| thirty-one strikes occurring of which
twenty-five were settled successfully
The total number of persons involved
in all of these strikes was only 4,1O1,
and none of the strikes was of great
duration nor of particularly harmful
results either to the laboring men or
to the industries employing them.
This bespeaks of really fine con-
dition of affairs in the Kansas labor
ing world, and one of the controlling
reasons for it is found in another
part of this report which is of more
importance OF the one hundred and
ninety-seven labor organizations re-
porting to the state labor bureau,
only two of them were compelled to
report a reduction in wages during
the past year, while twenty-six of
them were able to report increases in
wages. The remainder, one hundred
and seventy, reported that the wages
of the year were the same that were
enjoyed by them the year before.
And a rather remarkable showing
is this in view of the fact that the
country, generally, suffered from a
severe business depression during the
past year and that the wages of the
year before last. which were main
tanned in all but two instances except
where there were increases during the
past year, were on a basis of the most
prosperous conditions that ever pre-
vailed in this country.
No better evidence is needed than
this that the financial panic of more
than a year ago and its inimicaI
effects on business, did not inflict
much in the way of scars on Kansas
and Kansans. Nor is there any bet
ter testimony needed to prove that
the labor field in Kansas is a most
desirable and fruitful one in which to
work a field where the conditions
surrounding labor are most peaceful
and attractive in every way. The
figures in this report of the labor
commissioner speak volumes for the
high and intelligent class of laborers
who work in Kansas and also for the
considerate and magnanimous treat
ment which is accorded to them by
their employees For certainly if the
employers of labor in this state did not
treat their employees most fairly
there would be no reports of such ex-
cellent conditions prevailing in the
local labor world like the ones found
in this particular report of the state
labor bureau.
