Little Lillian Nabors.

On April oath our community was
shocked by one of the saddest events
that has occurred in this vicinity in
many years
It was the fourth birthday of little
Lillian Cayce Majors. yon1gest dalgh-
ter of Doctor S. L. an Mrs. Mary
Majors.
The mother was perhaps looking for
war I to the day. near mon, when she
could inform the little one that she was
fully four wears old; but about eleven
o'clocF, Lillian was seized with some
thing like a congestive chill. and for
more than an hour her little frame was
rlcked with spasms and severe cramp-
ing.
All was done that the loving hands OF
mother and friends and the medical
skill Of a scientific father could do, but
in spite Of the prompt efforts of every
one to relieve her. the messenger o.
dea h pressed his way through the anx-
iols throng, tore the baby spirit from
it's castle of clay and boreit in triumph
to the loving bosom Of Him who said
Suffer little children to come unto
me-"
Lillian was aremarkable child-seem-
ingly endowed with a mind matured
,eyond m,st children Of her years.
Her loyalty to her friends of whatever
age. and her devotion to her parents and
little sister have been the subj act Of
remark by the neighbors. In her child
ish plays she was always pleasant and
agreeable, avoiding friction among her
associates ia ways that older people
would do well to copy. Although she
was 4 lover Of innocent amqsements, and
enjoy ed the company of her little assoc
ciates to tn fullest extent, she was
always ready to suspend business tenn
porarily in her play house to pay her
respects to a visiting friend If the
family. She was never too tired or
sleepy at night to wait for an oppar
tun,ty to bestow upon mamma a good
night kiss, and other evidences Of flial
affection.
The entire com nunity jim ia sympa
thv with the bereaved family, and es
pec;ally do they feel distressed for the
lonely and desolate condition Of the re

FARMER SUES FOR A DIVORCE.
Willis CIutts says Wife Is Getting Rid
of His Property.

Willis Clutts, a farmer of Shawnee
county, has filed suit for divorce from
his wife and for the return of his
property. The circumstances leading
to suit are complicated.
In June last Mrs. Clutts brought
suit for divorce, alleging many ana
varied abuses from her husband.
Among other things she alleged fear
that he would kill her if not restrained
from visiting the place. The restrain
ing order was granted by Judge Dana.
Now Cults charges that after he had
been effectually kept off the farm, his
wife dropped her divorce suit and be-
gan getting rid of his property and
keeping the money.
Although she is, in her own right
worth $23, 900, he charges that she has
sold the stock and crops and nipple
ments worth $4,000 and that all the
while he has not had a cent for sup
port except what he could earn at day

IT WORRIES ENGLAND.
Canadian Reciprocity Is the Subject of
Much Discussion.

London. Feb S.-Lord Harcourt,
secretary of state for the colonies, said
in the house today that there was no
reason to believe Canada was DESTROYS
of submitting a question concerning
her internal affairs to the judgment of
other dominions. He understood, how
ever. the impossfbility of the imme-
|diate completion of the legislation nee
essary to make q reciprocity agree
ment between the United States and
Canada and accordingly there would
be ample time for cons1d Grafton. The
Isecretarys expr ession was in reply to
a request that the colonial Office sug-
gest that the Canadian government
postpone a ratification of the agree-
ment until the imperial conference
had been held. The message from w.
is. Fielding, the Canadian finance min
lister, defending the reciprocity ar
rangement, was published this morn
ing and took some wind out of the
sails of the Unionists' craft.
J. A Chamberlain asserted the
agreement removed Canada from the
imperial orbit and drew her into the
vortex of continental politics and the
interests of the United States.
One immediate result would be that
food in England would cost more. Was
the government, he asked. taking steps
to secure for British manufacture the
same right of entry to the markets of
the United States which the Canadian
ministers were securing for Canadian
goods?
The former chancellor added that
the agreement would have far reach
ing effect not only on the Dominion,
but on the whole empire and particu-
larly on relations which had prevailed
up to the present time between Cam
ada and the United Kingdom.

CoNGREGATToNALIsTs MEET.
Directors of Kansas Conference Pleas
eel With Work.

The directors of the Kansas Con-

sions Tuesday at the Carnegie library
at Washburn and in Gemmell hall at
the Y. NJ. c. A. President F. K. San
ders as the moderator, presided over
the sessions, and Prof. w. C. Wheeler
acted as the secretary. Many ques-
tions of interest were discussed and
settled, and reports were received from
officers and committees representing
the state wide work.
The report of the committee on
Sunday schools and religious education
indicated that the Sunday school
mem bership of the denomination bids
fair to have been doubled in the
course of the year. A pamphlet on
standardization issued by the commit
tee was presented to the board and APP
proved for distribution. A program
was approved for the coming annual
meeting at Independence In May which
laid emphasis on the business of the
denomination in contrast with mere
oratory. There was a large attendance
I of directors and a successful meeting.

LEADERS ARE ILL.,
Business of the National House Is
Dragging.

Washington, Feb. S.-With the end
of the session only three and a half
weeks away, serious situation Is
threatened in the house by the illness
of leaders of both parties. Representa-
tives Payne of New York and Dalzell
of Pennsylvania from the Republican
side and Champ Clark of Missouri
from the Democrat side were on the
sick list today. Speaker Cannon had
been suffering from a cold for several
days. He has managed to attend the
sessions of the house each day-at
times against the advice of his asso-
ciates-but frequently has resigned the
gavel either to Mr.. Olmstead of Penn
$. Ivania or Mr.. Mann of Illinois. The
illness of these members may mean q
delay in the consideration of reciprocity
in the house. A vote has been set for
Friday and friends of the reciprocity
measure are hopeful that the leaders
may be present at that. time.

MAY BE LOST TO CITY.
Smith Automobile Company Project
Languishes.


Unless some drastic means are adopt
ed whereby the reorganization of the
Smith Automobile company may be eff
fected in the very near future, the plant
will be lost to Topeka. F. s. Whitley,
former auditor for the Smith company,
who has been endeavoring in the last
few weeks to form a company to buy
the assets of the bankrupt concern,
on account of a lack Of support, has
abandoned the attempt.
The Commercial club and the Topeka
AID club have given Mr.. Whitley their
moral support in the enterprise, but
the citizens of Topeka have failed to
come through" with the cash.
Kansas City, Wichita. and Grand
Rapids have been contemplating bid
ding in on the plant when it is put
up for sale. Interested parties in Kan
sas City are figuring on the PROPOSE
ton and in case they are successful it
is not at all unlikely that a CONSOLE
dation will take place with the Stafford
plant and the machinery removed to
that city.
Charles Hull, of the Kansas Voting
Machine company, remarked today that
his plant will likely go elsewhere.

WRIGHT ON SCOUTING.
Believes Use of Aeroplane by F,oulois
VIII Be of Great Importance.

New York, Feb. S.-Wilbur Wright
believes that the work of aeroplane
scouting which probably will be begun
by Lieutenant Foulois of the United
States army at Ell Paso this week will
be one of the most important and in
structive experiments in the history of
aviation. Before leaving for Dayton
today Mr.. Wright gave out the follow
ing statement:
Military scout work was the first
myself discovered for our invention
and we presented its values for such
work to the war department even be-
fore we made public our success in
devising a heavier-than-air flying
| machine. That was six or seven years
ago, and much has been done with
aeroplaneS but this detail of Lieuten-
ant Foulois will be the first use of an
aeroplane as a military scout for OBJ
servation of armed forces in an actaul
| state of hostilities.
There is a great deal more requir-
ed of the aviator in such work than is
generally understood. He may be a
| master pilot and still practically
going on below him. The scout avid
tor must learn by experience to retain
his sense of distance, direction of NOV
ing bodies, topography contour and a
score of like data. as well as to edu-
cate to a high degree his powers of
identification as applied to the tiny
things he views from far above.
There is no better equipped man in
this country for such work than Lieu
tenant Foulois and I shall watch his
work with the greatest interest.
what is the best height for scout
observation? Well. about 1000 to
1900 feet. At that height men or
horses can be seen and identified as
such without trouble and the extent
of the observers visible earth area is
much greater than his eyes can scan
with any useful results"
