But In time even this tie failed TO

and mother passed through that deep
valley of humiliation which is so often
revealed in divorce courts.
Mr.. Romans, who was a theatrical

Lack of Leadership.
Ell PasO. Tex, Nov. 23.-Reports
from trainmen and passengers from
Mexico this morning are that Parral is
back in the hands of the federal
troops, the revolutioniste having been

Reports Are Exaggerated.

"Our information from Mexico is
that reports emanating from Eagle
Pass are exaggerated. The trouble in
Mexico seems to be more i. the rural
regions than in the center5 of popu-

IDEAS.
Advanced by DIR. LOveland to
Make Churches Stronger.
Says Church Plants Have Ca
pacity of 1000, Output of %.

There is enough money in church
steeples in Topeka to save the city,"
declared DR.. F. L. Loveland in speak
ing with a reporter.
1.-The modern church is like a factory
with capacity of thousand and an
output of but 25. Every church that
runs at capacity stimulates others. If
you have one great commercial interest
in a town it is a stimulus to other in
terests.
Here we have $4,000 inhabitants in
Topeka, and only 5000 persons attend
ing church on Sunday. Why shouldn't
they attend? 1 believe as many per-
sons were turned away from the First
M. E. church last Sunday evening as
attended some of the churches in the
city.
II think the church should be open
seven days out of the week, as centers
of religious, civic, and ethical life. A
business man couldn't afford to put
$4,000 into a plant and run it only
three hours in a week.
Il am going to ask 100 men in our
church who provide a Sunday dinner to
be big brother to boys and girls away
from home, and ask some one to take
dinner with them. This doesn't need to
overturn social standing, but it viii
show that we are human beings.
"Supposing that women with fine
gowns would say to a shop girl Come
on. girlies. and go to dinner with me-.
wouldn't that be the proper sort OF
Christian spirit?
1--WE have organized a club in our
church of a hundred men who have
agreed to give a dollar each for five
months towards $500 fund which will
be used towards bringing the brainiest
men in the country to speak on modern
church work. We will get not only
men who are leaders in religious enter
prises, but also in civic and educational
fields.
1.-The club of men will entertain one
of these speakers at dinner once
month. and afterwards the general pub
lie will be admitted by ticket to the
church auditorium. We are trying to
enlist the latent forces lying idle in the
churches. More work ought to be ac-
complished in Topeka by the churches"

He HAD MUCH MONEY.
Man Whose Body Was Found in a
Trunk Possessed Large Sum.

New York, Nov. 23.-At the time
of the disappearance of Albert G. CAL
lier the artist. whose body, the police
say was found packed in a trunk in
the basement of a house last week, he
had between $4,000 and $4,000, it
was learned today. The police have
been informed also that Caller and
VIM. Lewis, his friend in whose trunk
the body was found were attentive to
the same woman.
An intimate friend of Caller said
that in June 49, t-e artist told him
his brother had just sent him a ticket
for Paris and between $4,000 and
$4,000. Caller, he said, did not re-
turn OF France but dropped out Of
sight. Soon after that time Bono CAL
lier, with whom Albert had associated
himself in an ivory company in Sierra
Leone on the west coast of Africa,
came to New York and searched in
vain for his brother.
