SHELDON WANTS CONFESSIONAL.
Topeka Pastor Says the Protestant
Churches Should Follow Catholics.

ST Louis, May 3.-The statement that
The protestant churches need a con-
fessional,' made by the Rev. Charles
M Sheldon of Topeka, is being dis
cussed with interest by st. Louis min
listers. Dr. Sheldon expressed this view
In an address at an annual banquet of
the ST Lous Congregational club at the
Southern hotel. He explained that he
did not subscribe to the Catholic doc
tr1ne of confessional as medium for
the forgiveness of sins. He said he be-
1eved in the confessional, in so far as
1t afforded an opportunity for a pas
tors flock to make him its confidant IN
trouble.

LEAVES KANSAS GIRL MONEY.
Unknown Relative in Germany
Makes Remarkable WILL

Will.
Leavenworth, Kan, May "a be-
quest of an unknown amount from a
relative of whom she previously had
no knowledge is to be received by Miss
Belle Wittrock of this city, according
to an order from the probate court of
Eckeford. Holstein, Germany.
The notice came in the form of a
bulky packet bearing the red tape"
of a German court. the "Koenig Ger
ich." With a documentary tracing of
the line of Miss Wittrock, it was
shown that Heinrich Wittrock, a
cousin of her father, had upon his
death named her heiress to division
of his estate.
No mention was made of the size of
the total estate nor of the amount
which would be hers when the division
would be made. The relative was a
landholder, so mentioned in the will,
but to what extent nothing was said.
Asterisks showed that other parts of
the will, probably with reference to
such things, were left out.

these woods from one neighbor to

1t might look bright to one raised i'm
swamp, sand pit or in the shades of
pines, but we rather perferred the
good fresh air that prevails here in the
north.
From Estill to Govan, twenty-nine
miles, the land was gently rolling and
the most of it was covered with brush.
A few small fields of cotton and some
old saw mills were the only industries
noticeable along the line.
From Govan to Swanson, thirty-six
miles, the land was hilly and part of it
was under cultivation, this had been in
cotton and corn and the pine stumps in
the one to thirty acre fields were
nearly as thick as corn hills and the
cotton and corn was very short and
poor, about half the land was covered
with timber. On the low land small
pines We're growing and the hills were
covered with brush and small oak. 1t
has red and gray sandy soil and the
most Of the buildings were old. Many
of them from age and lack of repair
had fallen down, but the inhabitants,
mostly colored, seemed to be happily
contented in their mode of living.
Oxen are used great deal by these
people, they are driven on buggies,
carts, and we saw one instance of
blowing with one OK.
From Swanson to Columbia, twenty
two miles, the land was billy and
rough. The only evidence we saw of
farming done were few small fields
of cotton and corn.
On entering the city we crossedl
valley on trestle about two miles in
length and twenty to forty feet high.
Columbia is nice little city built on
high rolling ground and has but one
business street, about one half mile in
length and one hundred and fifty feet
wide, witha twenty foot walk on each
side. This street extends north and
south and at the south end stands the
state capitol, nice large building con-
structed of granite, and on the grounds
are several large monuments and
statues of famous war generals. This
wide street arched at each crossing
with rows of electric lights presents
most beautiful sight during the
evening.
Sunday evening we had the pleasure
of listening to a lecture delivered by
the governor Of South Carolina, Mr..
Ansel, and the president of the South
Carolina university.
