LAYMEN TO MEET.
A Big Convention Is Planned for
Topeka.

Ten prominent ministers and laymen
met today at the Commercial club to
discuss the question of holding a lay
mems convention in Topeka during the
first part of February next. DR.. B.
Tr1mble, acting field secretary for the
Laymen's Missionary movement pre-
sented the proposition to the gentle
men present.
tional scale is being planned by this
organization. A similar plan has been
Used in Canada during the past winter,
eliminating in a Canadian National
Missionary congress, attended by over
4.OOO commissioners, representing all
protestant churches of the Dominion.
1t is an interdenominatio nal and in
ternational movement of cooperation
among the laymen of the various Chris
tan bodies, designed to stimulate and
maintain among the laymen of the
churches of North America an intelli-
gent and active interest in the speedy
evangehzation of the world.
There will be a board of speakers.
The first convention will be held in
Washington, D. c.. and the speakers
will work westward where similar con-
ventions will be held. The movement
will extend as far as Seattle, and will
eliminate in a great ma ional conven-
ton at Chicago in May.
The idea is to hold a convention in
Topeka representing the northeastern
portion of Kansas. and 1t is expected
that such meeting would bring at
least 1,500 persons to the city. The con-
vention would open with a big banquet.
Those present at the discussion of
the matter today were highly in favor
of the idea. The question will be put
before the churches tomorrow.
A meeting is called for the noon

Monday. All interested are requested to
be present, and to secure lunch reser-

Welded AT LAST.
Roy Scott Makes Hospital Nurse His
Bride This Afternoon.

True love and tears finally won in Roy
SCOTS siege of Christ hospital in at
tempt to secure his lady love, Florence
Baylor, who had months before promised
him to be his happy bride when he was
under her care.
1t was very mild fight for wife and
weeping and prayer won where stronger
means might have proved fruitlesS. First
the chief of police yielded in sympathy to
the lads petition and talked with the
head nurse at the hospital in Scotts be-
half and she allowed an interview. When
Scott had beseechingly moaned and i'm
plored the freedom of his love, she, too,
took compassion and released the girl.
Happily the lovers left the hospital and
sought the probate judge but it was too
late for action yesterday.
Two o'clock today saw them vet IN
married-but a brother of the bride had
arrived to satisfy any, ones objection to
the couples union in a more strenuous
way if need be, and within a half hour
the joyous lovers stood before Judge
SchOch in the probate court room and
took the final vows which made them
one in the sight of all men.
Home City, Nebraska, SCOTS home
town, will welcome the bride tomorrow.

Blaze at Shannon Store.

At noon last Saturday a fire of un- known origin in the basement of the Dunn & Brutinel building which is occupied by the Shannon store de partment, came near resulting in a heavy loss in stock and building.
 There had been two employees in the storeroom up to within a few minutes of the fire. One man was was working at his desk in the base ment when he discovered the fire and gave the alarm. It started in the stock of mattresses and furniture and but for the quick action of em- ployes and friends, who connected the fire hose in few seconds and flooded the basement, there would have been a heavy loss.
 There is a damage of several hun dred dollars to the building and the loss in stock by fire and water will amount to several thousand. The losses are covered by insurance.

Company F off for Camp.

Captain Paul Reisinger, of Com pany F, N, G. A, left Saturday morn ing with thirty-fve officers and pri- yates for the encampment near Prescott. The A. & N. NJ. added a special coach to the train for the accommodation of the soldier boys. The company is represented wholly by American boys with the exception of two colored cooks, which is dis tinction no other company in the territory can boast of except the Morenci cavalry troop.
 Owing to unfortunate circumstances Company F is not as strong this year as it was last when more than forty of the boys attended the encamp- ment. The membership of the com pany is a great deal stronger now than it was then and the boys are more expert in drill work, hence we anticipate the blue ribbon this time.
 In point of appearance Clifton will certainly get the medal, as our boys are all good looking. It is under stood that the girls along the various stations came near getting all the coat buttons, which is apretty good sign.
 At Guthrie Captain A. NJ. Tuthill of the Morenei cavalry troop, joined Company F with representation of thirty officers and privates.
 Both companies were called to re- port at camp on the evening of Sep tember l2th. On account of a short age of funds all of the companies of the territory were requested to con- fine their. number to as few as poss- ible. After camp breaks up at Pres colt the various companies will visit the Grand Canyon.. -.4-s

On Tuesday morning Riverside was the scene of much excitement when the barn ln the rear of the Burtch residence was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was given and with in few minutes connection was made with the fire plug in that vicinity and though the baln and its contents were a total loss the adjoining resi- dences were saved without damage. The fire is supposed to have been started by sparks from locomotive that passed several minutes before. The loss is about $500.
