commit the church to the cause OF
universal prohibition. DR.. John H.
Hill of Pittsburg, chairman OF the
temperance committee, will lead the
fight Two years ago at Columbus
the church voted to recognize the
anti-saloon league, but there will be
opposition, it is believed to any at
tempt to compel it to go further.
Another matter that will be pressed
at the coming assembly is the ADOPTION
of a resolution demanding of congress
a national and uniform divorce law
Though there is little opposition to
the general outline of the plan, II IS
expected that method and detail Will
provoke much discussion
Still another important feature OF
the assemblys meeting will be the dis
cussion of the race problem in the
south. The committee appointed at
Kansas City last year to investigate
and report on the matter Will pc
heard after which an evening will be
devoted to listening to the Negroes side
of the matter. Many leaders of the
latter race in the south have been in
vited to participate in the discussion

city of Atchison, died at Toledo, Ohio,
according to advices received here
Sunday afternoon by telegraph. His
body will be brought to Atchison for
interment. He was the father of Mrs

When w. L. Challiss first arrived on
the site of this city in 1856, he could
discover nothing but an expanse of ma

who established this city, and brought
about its early growth. Soon after ar
irving here he bought an interest in
the ferryboats that piled on the Mis-
souri, river between this city and the
settlement now known as East Atchi-
son, or Winthrop, Mo. The ferryboats
were profitable, and the income de-
rived from thems was invested in land.
At one time DIR. Challiss was one of
the greatest land owners in this vicin-
