1t has been suggested to the pastor
of the Baptist church that we dismiss
our services next Sunday morning, on
account of the commencement services
at M E. Church But he does not
deem it advisable owing to the fact
that this is our regular Education Sum
day. Futher more, the house will not
hold all who would attend the COM
mencement services. We will have our
services and any who cannot get in
there may come and worship with us.
Any of our members VINO care to go
there may feel free to do 80.

WANTS SPECIAL SESSION
Preacher Who Finds Lot of Land
Owner a Hard One.

There is a preacher living in an east
ern Kansas county who is having lots
of bad luck and who has a perfect
right to clamor for a special session
of the legislature in order that relief
might be furnished for the seedless
seed wheat counties of the northwest.
This preacher writes to Ernest Hogue-
land, secretary of the utilities commits
sion, to say that he owns a quarter
section of land in Decatur county upon
which rests like the decree of an I'M
kind fate a mortgage of $1,000 bearing
10 per cent interest.
This preacher had renter for his
land, but the renter was compelled to
go hence when his wheat crop failed.
The land is idle, the mortgage works
day and night and no renter can be
secured who can raise the price for
seed necessary to replant the wheat.
The preacher himself can not buy
seed wheat, for he only receives a sal
airy of $500 per year and pays out 800
of that to satisfy the Shylock who
holds this mortgage.
This preacher wants relief and he
is willing that a special session be call
ed to cope with the situation.

COLEMAN HAS FLOWN.
RawIins County Man Left No Bond to
Be Forfeited.

DeWayne Coleman, the school dis
trict treasurer from Rawlins county,
who was convicted in the lower courts
of embezzlement and sentenced to
states prison, and who appealed to the
supreme court last week, has fled the
state and the officers of his home
county are looking for him. AS soon
as his appeal papers were filed Cole
man was released on bond of $4,000
given by his wife
The Rawlins county attorney writes
to the attorney general to inquire If
Colemans bond cannot be forfeited at
once But Coleman has no bond TIC
forfeit. The local bond he furnished in
Rawlins county for his appeal of his
case had not been approved by the SUI
preme court, consequently he had no
bond.
It looks as though Coleman had
played fox and geese with the local au-
thorities when he persuaded the sheriff
to release him on the strength of his
appeal to the supreme court and his
filing of a bond. Had he been held
until the supreme court could have
placed it's official o. K. on his bond,
then the bond would be forfeited at
once.
Coleman's present whereabouts ara
unknown

HARRISON TAKES CHARGE
New United States Marshal Now
Holds the Reins.

John r. Harrison, of Salina, today
became the new United States marshal
for the district of Kansas to succeed
William H. Mackey jr., who this
morning turned over the books to his
successor. For the present, at least,
Harrison will retain the same working
force as was organized under the
Mackey administration.
Mackey returned Tuesday evening
from his home in Junction City and
the work of checking the books in the
marshaps office was begun last night.
The formal transfer of the office was
made this morning.
Frank Flenniken. who has for a
number of years been retained in the
marshaPs office as chief office deputy,
has been reappointed by Harrison and
will be a permanent fixture in the
federal building. It is probable,
though, that Flenniken will be the
only man on the Mackey force who
will tie to a job. While Harrison has
nothing to say at this time, it is gen
orally understood that some changes
will be made in the deputyships and
that the present force will draw their
pay checks only temporarily. Miss
Roberta McKirahan, stenographer in
the marshars office, has been reap
pointed and will probably remain
permanently in the office.
L cannot say just what if, any
changes will be made in the office
day while discussing the future of his
new job, but I have reappointed all
of the men now connected with the
office and they understand the work
and will continue for time at
least
Mackey, who has made a wide repu-
tation as a United States marshal, has
been appointed deputy warden at the
federal prison in LeaVenworth. He
will take up the work of his new job
at an early date.
1T looks to me- said Mackey,
that I will enjoy the work of my new
job better than the old one. I am get
ting a bit too old to enjoy running
around and 1 think the Leavenworth
will just about suit me-"
Harrison is also pleased with his
new place. So everyone seems happy.
appointment was confirm
ed several weeks ago. Then Mackey
went to Washington regarding his
Leavenworth job and his return de-
layed the final transfer.
The deputies who are to be temper
arily retained by Harrison in the mar
shaIs office are: L. E. Need, n. H.
Nicholson and Walter Worster. All
Of these men were appointed under
the Mackey regime. Since the con-
of Harrison's appointment, |
there have been numerous applica- |
tons for the deputyships, but the sue
cessors to the present force will not
be announced for some weeks

MARITAL TROUBLE CAUSE DEATH
Roy WiIey's Domestic Life Was Com.
plicated and Unhappy.

Hutchinson, Kan. Aug. leroy
Wiley, who committed suicide by
drinking carbolic acid, seems to have
been leading very complicated do
nestle life from the way things have
turned out since the inquest. At the
time of his discovery by Don Willows,
an employee of the Hoey Hardware
company, it was thought that he killed
himself because his wife left him Fri
day. Neighbors say that Wiley went
home intoxicated and the supposed
Mrs Wiley packed her grip and with
her two children went to Oklahoma
City.
Coroner Williamson telegraphed
her at that place but she promptly
wired back to the effect that she was
not Mrs. Wiley, but the real Mrs Will
ey lived in Kansas City at the Jeffer-
son hotel. DIR. Williamson cOmmuni-
Gated with her and she wired back
that she had telegraphed his mother
in Seattle, Wash. where she lives.
Mrs Ada Wiley. his wife. is ex-
pected to arrive in Hutchinson to-
daV.

NEGROES REFUSE TO GO.
