minority. 1 am proud to regard the
husband whose name / bear as a piO-
neer advocate of the political princi-
Piles so unpopular and productive of
defeat twenty years ago, but which
are today making our president the
most popular man Of the age. Though
he could not remain in the body to
see these principles triumph, of his
spirit presence and continuing work
for the cause he loved so we'll I have
had the most startling combinations.
And these proofs come not from for
tune tellers and schemers for money,
but from friends and workers in this
field who would scorn to accept pay
for their powers, and from those who
are developing their psychic power
would not permit the mentioning of
their names. And the number whom
thus find working for the higher de-
velopment, and the greater results
they are getting, and the high charac-
ter of the persons engaged. would
startle the city and the nation.
Being absolutely convinced of the
truth of spiritualism, and not fearing
to stand with a minority when I felt
it to be in the right, and anxious for
the sake of truths advancement to
still be Of use to the world. I some
time ago accepted the presidency Of
the Spiritualist society of Wichita In
all my experiences I have frequently
found the rankest fraud The glorious
revelations of our scientific religion
have been initiated by the lowest char
acters and the wickedest fakes. As in
all ages and in all religions, there
have been those ready to "Steal the liv-
cry of Heaven to serve the devil in. ,"
Before our society we have had some
of the brightest and best minds Of the
day, but also have we found ourselves
imposed upon by the most vicious de-
ceit. have seen some OF the best cit
liens of Wichita come to our meetings
full of earnest inquiry for the truths
we claim to present, and have watched
their expressions change to uncer-
tainty, disappointment, disgust and
contempt for what they received. I
have seen little fatherless children
with sobbing, sorrowing earnestness
heartlessly deceived by the rankest
fraud into the belief that they were
receiving messages from loving spirit
parents
Against all this my soul has cried out
for shame" but for the sake of the So
ciety and the truth it is supposed to
represent dared not speak. But I can
be silent no longer. 1t has never been
possible to get a majority of the socie-
| ty to see this fraudulence. the necessity
for stamping it out, and to see that
truth can advance only by the help OF
absolute truthfulness. For this reason
have resigned and withdrawn from
the First Spiritualist Society Of Wich-
ita. / retain my membership In the
State Spiritualist Society and In the
National Society. also retain my
faith In true Spfritualsm and again
avow my answering adherence to Its
teachings

ELMDALE GAS A MARVEL.
Experts Say Only in Belgium Is the
Flow as Pure.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, May 10
The Kansas Gas & Cement company
has developed a field of gas near Elm

wide The gas sand lying under this
field is no less than twenty-seven feet
thick. This gas field is a marvel to
examined it. Gas is found at from
$50 to 800 feet deep, and the flow
seems to be inexhaustible The gas
wells are only about seven miles west
of here and five inch main has been
laid and the gas brought to these
two towns. The company has de-
veloped in all about thirty-five wells,
one of which is supplying the twin
cities with gas. After being piped for
a distance of from five to six miles.
the pressure is LAT pounds at Strong
City. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to run the pipe line to Emporia
this summer and by the first of Aug
ust, 1908, the natural gas from the
Elmdale wells will reach the limits of
that city. Capitalists from New Mex

operate cement plant near the twin
cities, OF three thousand barrels
capacity, and also lime kiln Mr..
SHAW. the general manager says that
the pressure in these wells is strong
enough to send the gas to Emporia
without pumping station. The gas
company will continue developing
territory, and the Elmdale gas fleId
will be one of the best in the United
States The experts that have ex-
amfned the Elmdale gas say that such
gas has been discovered in only one
other place in the world, and that is
In Belgium. It's combustibflitv Is

houses in Cottonwood Falls and

RANDALL HAS SIXTEEN AUTOS.
A Jewell County Town That Is Full OF
Enterprise.

Randall, Kan, May 19.-This Jewell
county town Of about 400 population
has sixteen autos, that is, nine of them
are owned in town and seven are in
the hands of the farmers living Just
outside of the town limits. And some
one has said that the average price
paid for them was $1,000 each. Nor
is that all that can be said of the
wealth flowing in and out of Randall.
The State Exchange bank cashed
checks amounting to $3,363.82 which
was paid to farmers in the neighbor-
hood of Randall for alfalfa seed in the
month of February. Besides, the
firm of w. H. Joslin. dealer in coal and
1907 about $6,400. 1t is no wonder
this town of Randall is coming to the
front in business enterprise.
The State Exchange bank has a cap
ital of $4,000 and surplus of $4,000.
It has deposits at this time of about
$S5, 1000; they have run up to over
100000. The officers are: President.
F. J. Atwood; vice president, J. S.
Hart; cashier, II. T. Carnahan. These

portance Of this work. 1t is the phil

absolutely that whatever We SOW we
must reap, that we are in eternity now,
and that death Is but setting free of
the spirit of real self to continue it's
fight against evil and to advance on

that our loved ones gone before, in
stead of resting in some far-of golden
streeted heaven, are as near to us as
ever, still working to advance them
selves and to help US. 1t teaches that

careful adherence to the, as yet, little

Decay and Mechanical Abrasion
Worst Enemies Of Ties
According to Reports Issued Dy
the Forestry Service.
MANY TESTS ARE MADE
Gut Spikes Very Detrimental to
Softer Woods.
Other Items of Interest In
Railway Circles.

Results of a series of tests made by
the forestry service to determine the
comparative values and lasting quail
ties of timber used by the railroads for
ties have been issued by the depart
ment of agriculture, and are attracting
more than ordinary interest because
Of the Importance the subject has for
the railroads at the present time. due
to the falling off of supplies and the
rapid rise in prices.
AT the outset, in their report the IN
vestigators point out that the durap1i-
ity of the same grade and species OF
timber is so different in different sec
lions of the country, owing to climatic
and other conditions, that it is impossl-
BILE for them to lay down any inf1eX.-
BILE rule that will apply to the entire
country
Experiments to determine the best
and most economical methods of hind
ling tie timber were carried on in con-
junction with the Northern Pacinc
road, stations for conducting seasoning
tests being established at Tacoma,
Wash. and Standpoint, Idaho. Sep
arate test tracks were laid in WASH
ington and Montana.
Decay and mechanical abrasion were
found by the investigators to be the
two chief causes of the failure OF ties.
The principal factors in bringing ABOUT
decay are climatic conditions, Such DIS
humidity, precipitation. intensity OF
heat and drainage of roadbed, the last
depending largely on ballasting.
Mechanical damage comes from rail-
cutting and saving. TIL present man.
ner of holding down rails with cut
spikes is found to be fairly satisfac-
tory. when hardwood ties are used, but
it is poorly adapted to the use of soft
wood. For the protection of the latter
tie plates have to be used, which also
act in overcoming lateral strains, and
therefore take the place of rail braces
A study of the effects of seasoning
on the timber shows that that cut be-
tween June and September suffers more
from radical checking or cracks. II is
therefore advised that cutting be Inn
tied to the period between November
and April and that timber be seasone1
for at least ninety days before Delng
shipped through the arid district east
of the Cascade mountains.
1t is the opinion Of the Investigators
that care in this regard Will overcome
the objection the eastern roads have
to the use of Douglas fir, which cheeks
easily unless properly seasoned. 1t is
recommended further that ties be pee
ed as soon as cut.
The experimenters found that screw
spikes such as are used in France, are
much more efficient than the common
cut spike used in this country. Inc
screw spike prevent the rail from creep
ing. and thus lengthens the life or the
tie
