Lawrence, Kan.-"The Church of

fully ten years. is founded upon rev.

this is the belief of the church's pas
tor, Rev. Mr.. Smith, and his small
band of followers. This revelation
came to the founder of the Church
of God and the Saints of Christ" only
after a severe penance of four days of
real fasting-that is, absolute denial
of food and water.

the first day of the week is Saturday
and not Sunday, and upon that day
Saturday the worshiping of God
must be done, that the orthodox Sun

 At 1O:40 pm. the jury notified the court that verdict of ac- quittal had been agreed upon, and the accused was discharged.
 The second charge against Eckengreen is for selling liquor to natives. The defendant furn- ished bonds for 5000, for his appearance last Monday, Charles Chanquist and Jack Nelson as bondsman, and was released.

Kansas People Dry
 as Wooden Gods

Topeka, June 3O.-The new prohibition law went into effect in Kansas today, so far as clubs are concerned. The brand new
 lid, manufactured by Attorney General Fred s. Jackson for the particular benefit of all mankind who have the least desire in the world for a taste or a smell of intoxicants of any kind, in any quantity, was clamped down by orders of the attorney general himself.
 The man who owns his own bottle may not drink out of it, even if he goes to his club and takes it from his individual locker.
 The new law is the most dras. tic prohibition measure in the world. The Topeka and Elks' clubs, the Eagles and all other clubs in the city, big and little, respectable and otherwise, cut out the sale or drinking of intox- icants in or about the club quar- ters. The drought is general, and it is dry as the sands of the
