IRONING IT OUT.
Christian Church Convention
Adjusting Its Differences.
Report fer Plan of Church Unity
Completed.
ACTION MAY GO OVER.
Likely That Final Action Will
Be Deferred.
Merger of All the Church Papers
Recommended.

The Phi1putt report, declaring for
a delegate convention system and
merging of the missionary boards of
the church, was given to the Associat-
ed Press this afternoon, subject to re-
visions by the committee. This report
will be offered on the floor of the
convention at 4:30 this afternoon.
Following a two days session in
which the friends and the opponents
of the proposed report expressed their
opinions freely and prepared for a
lively discussion, the situation is Sc
rene for the reception of the report
this afternoon. Both factions worked
hard last night to iron out adverse
opinions and there is a probability that
the original report issued for publica-
ton will go to the convention modi-
fled in several general details.
The Philputt committee will meet
in the parlors of the National Hotel
this afternoon to review the report
The committee will probably be
asked to eliminate the following words
In the preamble: land a more ade-
quate means of expressing the united
judgment of the brotherhood in regard
to such great questions as have to do
with the furthering of these holy
causes"
Another Objectionable section which
the conservatives wish stricken from
stitution, which now reads: land to
provide a suitable agency through
which to express the common senti-
ment of the churches, thus securing
a closer cooperation on great issues
pertaining to the Kingdom of God. "
Following a discussion of represent
atives of both sides OF the issue, the
committee will probably be requested
to recommend that the report be re-
ferred to the Executive Committee OF
the various church bodies for their
approval and later referred back to
the original committee. Such a move,
if adopted, will do away with the dis
cussion on the floor of the convention
and the various church bodies can
have ample time in which to express
opinions and suggest amendments.
This action would at least carry the
consideration of the resolution over
another year; and perhaps much
longer. In fact, when the resolution
is finally adopted in this manner. II
it ever is, the Philputt committee will
doubtless be the last people to recog-
nize it,

The report is current elsewhere that
Topeka is unable TO provide accommo-
dations for the delegates. This is not
the case, however. The fact is that a
great many people are E'sore'' because
no delegates have been sent around to
occupy the rooms which they went to
spe -iaI pains to have ready for Wis
itors.
There were more than $500 persons
present at the first session this morn
ing of the meeting of the Foreign Mis-
siOnary society held in the Auditorium.
The meeting opened at $50 and was
presided over by DIR. Archibald Nc
Lean of Cincinnati, who has been con-
nected with the Foreign Christian
Missionary society for thirty years
twenty years as the secretary. DIR.
Mclean is recognized as one of the
foremost missionary experts of the
world.

Plan for a General Convention of
Churches of Christ.
PREAMBLE.
Whereas, There is a widespread
feeling among the Disciples of Christ
that they need a closer unification of
their various missionary, educational
and benevolent organizations, a more
general fellowship of the churches of
Christ in all cooperative efforts for
the extension of the kingdom of God
in the world and a more adequate
means of expressing the united judg-
ment of the brotherhood in regard to
such great questions as have to do
with the furthering of holy causes.
Therefore. we, representatives of
churches of Christ in convention as
sembled. inviting the fellowship of all
our sister churches in the accom- plish-
ment of these ends, do adopt the fol-
lowing constitution and bylaws:

ternational organizations and to pro-
vide a suitable agency through which
to express tie common sentiment OF
the churches, thus securing a closer

More County Fairs.

The new counties in the northern
part of the state have suffered a great
deal from dry weather, but that does
not dampen their ardor when it comes
to showing what they can do in that
part of the state. The people of Per-
kins county are arranging for fair to
be held at Lennon, and it is reported
that they are getting together dis
play of products which would be a
credit to older sections of the state
and show up well for a new county.
The people of Corson county, the
youngest county of the state are not to
be left in this movement to show what
they can do, and they have filed articles
of Incorporation of the Corson County
Fair association, with headquarters at
Mcintosh and capital of $1,000.

BY Way of Automatic.

Saturday morning the hunting sea-
son claimed as its victim Arthur L.
Tessier, owner and manager of the
Aberdeen Sheet Metal Works, who was
instantly killed by the accidental dis
charge of an automatic gun, which
drove its full charge into his back,
SCATTERING the spinal cord in the small
of the back, and causing instant death.
He was in boat on Lords lake with
Hector Wright young Aberdeen boy,
at the time of the accident, and both
men were standing up, shooting over
head. At the discharge he fell over
board, while young Wright screamed
for help. BY the time the first aid
arrived the man was dead.
The party, consisting of William
Mees, Hector Wright, Arthur Tessier
and his younger brother, Ray Tessier,
had gone out to Lords lake, a mile
southwest, and were planning to spend
a full day among the ducks. Wright
and Tessier were shooting together in
an old round bottomed boat. 1t is
thought that the man became over
balanced, started to fall, while the
automatic gun poured its shot into the
body while falling.
