HAVE GONE HOME.
Delegates to Largest Sunday School
Convention Have Adjourned.

The forty-SiXth annual convention of
the Kansas Sunday School association
closed with a meeting Thursday night
that packed the auditorium. All rec
ords were broken, both as to attend
ance and enthusiasm, the total regis
tration being 1881, which eclipses the
former high mark of two years ago
by 400. of the delegates, fully 1000
hailed from outside of the city, even
the extreme western tier of counties
being represented.
The meeting last night was a rous-
ing one, the closing address, Five
Ways of Working" being delivered by
DIR. w. A. Brown of Chicago. The
work of the chorus under the direc-
ton of Grant Tullar Colfax proved eff
fective and a solo by 1. H. Meredith
was appreciated.
Tonight almost a capacity house is
expected to attend the story and song
entertainment which will be given.
The big chorus of 500" will sing
1.-The Shepherds Story" the words of
which are adapted from Florence
Morse Kingsleys 1.-THE Cross Trium-
plant" Messrs. Tullar and Meredith
wrote the music. Mrs. H. B. Tasker
of Topeka will officiate at the piano.
There viii be no admission fee, but
a silver Offering. which will be taken
at the door, will go towards defray-
! ing the expenses of the convention. AS
the chorus has done admirable work,
it is anticipated that "all Topeka" will
turn out for the musical event this
evening.
| w. d. Stem, superintendent of the
adult department of the state associ-
alton, who attended the convention,
has left for Pennsylvania, where he
has accepted a similar position. His
work III Kansas has received much
| favorable comment No successor for
the vacancy has as yet been named.
1t was announced that a sort of a
second edition of this convention will
! be held in Garden City in August.
This will give many persons in that
section of the state an opportunity to
attend who found it impossible to
come as far east as Topeka. Then
there will be considerable business to
! transact.
| The success of the local arrange
ments is largely due to the tireless

president of the Kansas Sunday School

charge of the registration and the

DOESN'T SUIT Them.
Majority of Commissioners Doubtful
About Tandy Scheme.

The plan of Commissioner Tandy to
do away with the office of street COM
missioner and place the duties of the
office upon his own shoulders may meet
with a stone wall at the meeting of the
commissioners this afternoon. Al
though Mayor Billiard, Commissioner
Miller and Commissioner Stotts refuse
to say what they will do just before
the meeting this afternoon, it is ru-
mored that they will oppose the Tandy
scheme.
Commissioner Stotts ridiculed the
idea TT looks funny to me-" he said.
that as soon as Tandy finds that he
can't have the commissioner of streets
he wants to fly up and decides that the
office isn't necessary. Tandy had
Street Commissioner Snyder under him
all last year and no kick was made on
the way things were going. Tandy was
very anxious that Topeka have a street
commissioner this year when he
thought he could have Snyder back
But as soon as We took Snyder away
from him he cries out that the office
should be vacated and Baker should be
dropped. I don't like the looks of this
I don't quite catch the real reason
which is hidden beneath the whole
thing.
Mayor Billiard says:
IF this motion is for the purpose of
economy in the city government, I am
for it and will vote for it. But if it is
for the purpose of getting Baker out of
the way I win vote against it,
Commissioner Miller will not say.

WHAT OF PREACHERS?
Mayor Billiard Says They Violate Sun
day Labor Law.

If the Sunday theaters open up in
Topeka next Sunday-and the city
ordinances now give them that priv
ilege-and if the state or county Off
Gals attempt to close them, Mayor
Billiard will bring another gun into ac-
ton.
The mayor stated this afternoon
that if the Sunday theaters were
opened in Topeka and they We're clos
ed by the state, the theaters in I1eav-
enworth, Atchison, Kansas City and
Pittsburg should be closed also.
Furthermore, the mayor said that
if the state enforces the Sunday law
in regard to these features of open
the paid church choirs, the paid
church preachers, the street car con-
ductors and motormen, and the Toys
who deliver morning papers should
be arrested also.
"Ot course, am not opening the
theaters and I am not aware that
they will be opened Sunday said the
mayor, but if they are opened and
the state closes them, I wish to ask
that through right and justice the
theaters in all cities in the state be
closed.
Il know that in Leavenworth, Kan
sas City, Pittsburg and other cities
the theaters have been open every
Sunday. But the state has taken no
recognition of this. But as soon as
rection everyone rises up in anger and
the officers of the law declare they
will close them.
II ask any fair minded PERSONS
it fair? 1t is square? Is it right that
theaters be allowed to run Sundays in
othera cities in this state-and not in
Topeka?
'And as far as the Sunday labor
law in concerned-what about the
church choirs that are paid for their
services? What about the organists
who are paid for their playing? What
about the preachers who are paid for
their preaching?
And then take the street car con-
ductors and motormen, the boys who
deliver papers on Sunday morning,
those who sell tickets at baseball
games, those who work at the Sunday
theater meetings of the Y. NJ. c. A.
1 could mention million things that
are not necessary for the observance
OF Sunday.
''If the state officers close up Sum
day theaters in Topeka-why not car
ry out the entire law and close up, all
forms of labor"

Senator w. S. Cambern of Erie is in

A party of city officials of Muskogee,

have decided to build in town.

RUMOR OF A STRIKE.
Rock Island Officials Say They Haven't
Heard of 1t.

Buffalo. N. Y, May 5.-A strike of all

keep men away from the west.

THE HONOR SYSTEM

Another convict employed on the
road gang is reported missing, making
the second to take French leave with
in the past month. 1t is not likely.
however, that he will get far or remain
at large for any great length of time.
The fact that two men have violat-
ed the trust put in them by the war
den of the penitentiary should not
condemn the system. The day when
crimes are vindictively punished by
the state has gone by, and our penal
institutions are now intended for the
purpose of reformation.
The last man to go, however, had
a considerable length of time left to
serve, and there may be some ques-
ton as to the advisability of giving
long-timers an opportunity to escape.

POWER FOR PROSPECTING

In many of the mining camps of the
west it is now possible to utilize cleo
trio power in mine operation, and there
is hardly a camp of Importance that is
not fully covered with. power lines.
The use of electric power, however, has
very largely been confined to large
companies and big operators, the
thought of applying such motive force
to the development of a prospect hard
~ ever occurring to the claim owner.
Now, however, with such favorable
conditions existing, there is no reason
why electricity should not prove an
important factor in prospect develop
ment, as electric generating plants are
so numerous in the west, and their
feeders stretch out in so many direc-
lions, and cover so wide a field. that
power for claim development should
be within the reach of nearly every
mine owner, of every company.
In Colorado, according to advices
from Aurora, the Telluride Power
company has made a generous offer to
claim owners and small mine operators
which, we believe, will be generally
accepted. The offer, we understand.
is to furnish electric current at $3.50
per horsepower, per day. This to be
used in mine development, only, and
not in the extraction of ore. This
price, it is stated, is less than one-half
of the regular rate, and the current
can be used, by one man or company,
up to IL horsepower a day.
IT such a proposition were made to
the mine and claim owners of Utah.
we can see where its acceptance would
lead to much greater activity in
many OF our mining camps. There are
several electric power companies in
Utah, every one of which have lines
into our leading districts; and these
could be tapped by short pole lines
carrying the fluid to partially develop
ed properties which are now handi-
capped by lack of power and by the
excessive costs of Handwriting.
We would like to see electric power
placed within the reach of every claim
owner, every prospector, in the state.
