and Called Hope Cottage"

Evangelist Durham Asks Faith

Where Fallen Girls May Lead a
Good and Useful Life.

LeaVenWorth, Kan, March PA
fight against the white slave traffic
will be waged in Leavenworth and
home for the victims will be founded
here. Evangelists NJ. F. Durham and
NJ S. Durham have purchased the
Sherman Avenue Mission property
and the large dwelling in the rear at
the junction of Sherman avenue and
Cherokee street and will start res
cue home to be called Hope cottage.
The home will be supported wholly
by free will offerings and is non-sec-
TARTAN The donors give it to the pub
lie trusting the public to keep it up.
This thing is badly needed and
ought to be supported by every bust
ness man, the women. and every
church in the city," said the Rev.
Durham last night For a long time
we have planned to buy or build a
home where some of these poor un-
fortunates, who have been sold into
life worse than death, might live in
peace and comfort The white slave
trade is spreading in every part of
the world and is claiming the best and
purest girls in many communities. All
over the country they are being sold
for from 50 to $25 apiece. We ask
the fathers and mothers of Leaven-
worth to help us in this work of rescue
by lending their assistance to the
maintenance of the home.
I'VE are willing-and are doing so
now-to put our labor and money into
this grand work of uplifting fallen
humanity and in the home we are
starting any girl that would like to
lead a good life will be given well
come; and an interest taken in her
whatever her religion is. Different
ministers and workers from Leaven-
worth and other cities will speak to
the girls and act as teachers on GER
tain days of the week to be designated
later
Mr.. and Mrs. Durham first came
to Leavenworth three years ago and
held tent meetings at Randolph and
Shoemaker They left here, but re-
turned recently. They have held meet
1ngs in the city several times since
then and at present are living here at
$40 Spruce street. Mrs. Durham has
been engaged in rescue work in the
larger cities for a number of years
and is highly qualified for this new
departure here.

WAS INMATE OF REFoRNATORY
Salvation Army Captain Has Reformed
and Made Good.

Hutchinson, Kan. March 25.-Ar-
rested and sent to the Reformatory on
the charge of forgery; classified as one
of the most unruly inmates at this in
stitution and punished on numerous
occasions for breaking the rules and
once for endeavoring to make his es-
cape, this was Arthur E Meaker ten
years ago. Today the same man has
married and settled down, has taken
upon his shoulders the labor of ex-
tending helping hand to the unfor-
tunate, has won the shoulder straps
of a captain in the Salvation Army
1t was at the time that Attorney
J. S. Simmons was superintendent at
the Reformatory that Meaker was sent
there. He was then known as one of
the worst men in the prison and was
carefully watched whenever he hap
pened to be out of his cell This morn
ing, however, Mr.. Simmons received a
letter from Meaker which informed
him that the Reformatory had re-
formed one man at least.
Captain Meaker is in charge of the
Salvation Army barracks at South
Bend, Ind. He is using his own life
as an illustration. of why a man should
reform and wrote to Mr.. Simmons for
the purpose of securing the photo
graphs of himself which were taken
at the Reformatory.
81 want the picture of me when I
came there he writes. 81 have one
showing how I looked when 1 came
out and I could use them effectively. I
owe SO much to the reading and think
ing and training I got under your d.
rection."

George r. Peck, who recently moved
from the Cottonwood valley, between
Sharon and Attica. to the irrigating

citizen. Last Thursday he closed a
deal with Dr. Wisner of Sharon town
ship. purchasing 100 acres of choice
farm land for the very reasonable sum
of $500, and will soon have one of
the attractive homes in that vicinity.
Mr.. Peck was one of tho few men
in this part of the country who was
induced to go with an emigrant party
to see the Texas lands advertised last
fall by a Chicago syndicate. He found
the climate unhealthy. irrigating ex-
pensive and unsatisfactory and
money losing proposition in general,
and the sum total of it all is that he
is again back in good country, where
health, wealth and happiness reward
merit and honest effort. Tt doesn't pay
to move away from this part of the
earth.

bounty of three cents per scalp on
jackrabbit scalps, the bounty to be

We're too numerous and were doing
too much damage in the county, and
this bounty was put on simply to help
pay the expense of getting rid of them
They thought perhaps two or three
thousand rabbits would be killed and
their sca1ps brought to the county
clerk within the six months. but the
success of this bounty business has
far exceeded their expectations. for
up to the present date over $4,000
scalps have been taken to the county
clerk and if the business reaches any
greater proportions another clerk will
have to be added to the clerks Office,
the duties of whom will be to count
rabbit scalps and issue warrants for

FelloWshfp-that variety known as the bully good kind" predominated last evening at the rooms of the Al gonquin club on the occasion of the annual meeting of the club. Perha ps the most welcome announcement of the evening was contained in the re- Young, which showed that the insti- tuition was almost debt free This means that the $10,000 expense which was taken on few years ago by req the club house has been practically wiped out and such condition re- fleets the highest credit upon the ex- ecutiVe management of the club.
 The new president George s.

MT. Hill acted as toastmaster and he did finely.
 He introduced as the first speaker the new vice president John T. King who made brief but pleasant speech which was heartily applauded.

Wilson, Major w. H. Mari gold and the retiring president A H. Mackenzie.
 IT Read pr. F. B. Downs and H. R. MacChesney of Danbury. MT Read did not forget to remind his hearers that much of the success which the club had achieved was due to the wise and prudent management of the clubs efficent steward James Wines.
 Letters of regret and announce ments were received and read from several of the former presidents who were not able to attend including the first president of the club, A. McNen ST. Since the institution of the club only one past president has died, Sen aor F. H. Skidmore and a silent toast was drunk to his mmory.

The strike of union barbers in six shops because the proprietors kept open yesterday eliminated this morn ing in a settlement so that only three men remain out
 This morning the union took it's cards out of the six shops and two proprietors, Nicholas Gaito and $1O to the union. They stated that they had kept open by mistake. Two journeymen employed in Chris Ronafs shop broke the strike there and returned to work They will be dealt with by the union. One of Ronais men remained out. Two oth- CT journ eymen are still on strike. Two of the shops where cards were re- moved from do not employ any jour neymen.

MT. Roth said further that the master barbers had previously voted to close only on days that the Main street merchants closed.

These examples tell at a glance of the savings that mark the No tion Sale.
 They tell why it is an event that every home needleWO1han is deeply interested in.
 Read them over once more. Notice economies that they tell of. And then make note of the fact that each of them stands for about a score of others. And that each of the others is just as full of merit and attractiveness.
 The Notion Sale is a big sale of little things at big savings. Tt comprises practically everything for home sewing many things for personal use.
