CHURCH BACKS UP
Lutherans Reconsider Bringing
School to Topeka.
Lively Discussion Interrupts
Morning Session.
ACTION NOT BINDING.
Will Come Before National SEN
ate Next May.
Finding OF Synod Likely Will
Not Be Reversed.
ACTION NOT BINDING.

The Lutheran church convention
this morning backed up on the plan to
bring the Lutheran business college to
Topeka and will recommend to the
national senate at its session in ST.
Louis next May that the school be
left at Winfield. After a lively dis
cussion which occupied the greater
part of the morning session, the con-
vention which is made up of churches
from Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado,
decided to recommend to the national
senate that new buildings be built at
Winfield and the facilities for han
ding more students be increased.
While the action of the convention
is in no way binding on the future of
the school, it is not probable that the
national body will deem it wise to
reverse the decision of the local or
ganization which has the school in
charge.
At an executive session of the dele
gates last week, the convention ap
proved the plan to move the business
course of the Winfield school to To-
peka, but adjourned without going on
record. In the meantime friends of
the Winfield school got busy and
worked to maintain the college. They
have not only succeeded, but probably
will get number of new buildings
and increased corps of instructors.
Reports from the college were ready
and approved at the morning session.
On account of the extra work, the
convention will hold special night
session to dispose of unsettled bust
ness.
1t is the plan of the convention to
adjourn tomorrow afternoon. None
of the officers of the church are to
be elected at the Topeka convention.
The 1909 convention elected set of
officers who will hold until the 1912
convention.
Sylvan Grove and Bremen, Kan,
both are asking for the 1911 conven-
ton. Choice of next years meeting
place will be made Tuesday.
Nearly 1900 people attended the
big public meeting in the auditorium
Sunday afternoon. Large crowds
| came from Atchison. Leavenworth
and Lansing. A special train was run
from Alma, Paxico and Mcfarland,
which brought several hundred Luth-
Grams who attended the meeting.
| Special musical mum bers added an in
teresting feature to the program.

MAY MARRY SENORITA.
Mexican Probably Will Not Go to Peni-
Tertiary for Abduction.

Instead of going to the penitentiary

Senior Never Almaraz tomorrow

The cross country escapade of the
two young people is now discovered to
have been a romance prepared and

mother of the 13-year-old senorita-
When QuinterO came calling from Ar
gentine he brought $3.50 and shared it
with the sonora. Father Almaraz was
not in on the deal because he had set
his heart upon marrying his comely
daughter to one Antonio Arelano and
the parties in collision knew to ap-
peal to him would mean disaster.
Sore of foot, the gallant Senior Quin-
tero led his little senorita into Ell

companied by Ysidro Hernandez. They

Mr.. and Mrs. E. p. Harris Hold
Anniversary Celebration.
About $50 Relatives and Friends
Present at Affair.
WOMAN STILL FARMS.
Husband Is PrOOfreader for
Crane & Company.
Man Set Type to Print Free
State Convention Poster.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Harris on Satur-
day celebrated their fiftieth anniver-
sary at their home near Lecompton.
Mr. Harris is proofreader for Cane &
Co. publishing house, and his wife, al
though now nearly II years old, is
managing the farm near Lecompton.
Mr.. Harris was born June IL, 1886,
coming to Kansas in 1856. His wife,
who was born in Franklin county, Mis-
souri,, November %, 1899, came to Kan
sas in the same year.
The first money 1 earned" said M.
Harris, was the result of arduous
work with scythe in putting up hay
on Deer creek, two miles from Topeka -
1t was with the party which included
Edmund G. Ross and Richard J. Hin
ton that he came to Kansas. He first
saw Mrs, Harris on October %, 1859, as
she was riding a gray horse on Massa-
chusetts street in Lawrence. He i'm
mediately learned her name, and exact
1y a year from that date they were
married.
They lived after their marriage on a
farm near Lawrence, Mrs. Harris haV-
ing general charge of the farm work.
Mr.. Harris was employed on the Law
renee Tribune. Later he was on the
Emporia News as foreman, and in 1863
he went back to Lawrence, where he
was foreman on the Lawrence Journal
under T. Dwight Thatcher In 1873
when George Martin was elected state
printer, he came to Topeka taking the
place of foreman of the works, which
position he held until 1891 when he
was employed by Crane & Co. as proof
reader.
Mr.. Harris set the type for the hand
bin which announced the First Free
State convention. This was in 1859.
Mrs. Harris is still active and a good

met a man on a steep hill, admired his
horse, and made a trade on the spot.
While the change was being made a
stone was put under the wheels of the
buggy to keep it from running down

horses but of other stock
When Mrs. Harris first began farm
ing the methods employed were ex-
tremely crude. For example, horses
were used to tramp out the wheat. She
commenced operations with one horse
and chain harness
The anniversary celebration was an
informal affair." About $50 relatives
and friends dropped in at the home Of
the couple near Lecompton between the
hours of 2 and 10 o'clock. Mrs. COrina

CLASS BEGINS TONIGHT.
Enthusiastic Students of Chiropractic
Get Down to Work.

The first Chiropractic class inlTopeka
will be arranged this evening at ZIG
Kansas avenue, the work being given
by DR.. T. F. Ratledge, the originator
and incorporation of the Ratledge sys-
tenn Of Chiropractic Schools.
In talking of the organization of the
class, DR.. Ratledge said: 1.-The people
of Topeka are taking a keen interest in
the work, even more than 1 anticipated
in so short time. The reason for this
is that substantial, careful thinking
people are realizing more and more
that the brain, spinal cord, and the
nervous system as a whole is entirely
responsible for their existence and it
is an interference with it that causes
every i'll or irregularity of the human
body.
"Chiropractic is the only science that
teaches the correction of these mechan-
ical interferences which take place
where the trunk nerves eminate
through the foramini or the apertures
between the vertebrae. 1t is the thin
ming of the intervertebral cartilage,
caused by muscular contraction, the
result of oVerwork, worry or any in
ternal or external irritation, or by in
jury, that impinges the nerve trunk.
Punching of the nerve trunks, re-
suits in the failure of the transmission
of the normal nerve stimuli to the or
gan or tissue controlled by the nerve
or nerves. BY Chiropractic adjustment
we remove the impingement and the
normal current of nerve energy is re-
established, and with it normal func-
tions. In short, Chiropractic removes
the cause of disease.
I'm this work the field is unparallel
ed. The demand is so great that but
three-tenths of one per cent of those
necessary can be furnished I left
twenty-five letters on my desk at
Guthrie asking when we would be able
to send chiropractors, these letters con-
tanned statements guaranteeing from
$50 to $50 a week right from the first.
The graduates who have been out from
six weeks to a year are making from
three hundred to five hundred dollars a
month.

PLANT OF HIGH SCHOOL BOY.
His idea of Cause of Lack of Spirit i'm
Institution.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Yes, it would be a shame if the high
school athletics should be given up by
the high school students and their
friends. But the students are not to
blame because they, or rather the ma
jority of them, have lost their school
spirit.
How can the students get school
spirit aroused with a 15 or 20 minute
assembly once each week, and only 50
minutes for a class meeting? How
can a class have program or do very
much work in 35 minutes? How does
the head of the high school expect the
subfreshman and freshman to be very
enthusiastic when they are not allow
ed to hold class meetings? In other
large high schools the student body
would be ready to fight if such condi-
lions existed, I mean in school that
isn't dead.
When you find a school where the
first year students just go to school and
can not have class meetings or other
meetings of their own you usually find
a school that is dead.
