Books Show Only $4,000 Legal
Male Voters.

population since the last election in the
spring of 1911.

more new residents to Topeka than
any other sections of the state, accord
ing to Captain Titus. These counties
are Wabaunsee, PottaWatomie, Jack
son, Jefferson, Cloud and Republic.
And the towns that send a majority
of the new residents to this city, COM
paratively, are Burlingame, Scranton,
Usage City, Carbondale, Lyndon, Quen-
emo, Overlook and Wamego.

coming to this office for registration, 7"
Captain Titus said. "In Kansas it seems
to be a custom for farmers, after they
have outgrown their usefulness on the
farm and after they are ready for
rest and pleasure, to come to Topeka.
Here they live in comfort and have the
chances of all modern conveniences and
amusements. Since we have opened
our books at odd hours, scores of new
citizens to this city have registered.

means that Topeka is growing-and

The election commissioner has
started a campaign to bring the

the governors office by the men who
are to safeguard the rights of the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE.
Frank H. Leonard of Boston Spoke to Large Audience Sunday Afternoon.

Before an audience that filled the Church of the Good Shepherd. Frank H. Leonard. C.S.B., a member of the board of lectureship of Christian Sci ence, gave a thoroughly interesting lecture Sunday afternoon at o'clock under the auspices of the local Chris tian Science body.
 The speaker was introduced by Rev. Joseph F. Cobb. MT. Leonard spoke in part as follows.
 A Celt being asked to define a critic. responded, "A critic is one who Is most down on what he is least up on." Ignorance of this great subject of Christian Science can no longer be excused on the basis of inability td gain correct information as to what it Is, whence 1t comes and what 1t ac- complishes. Christian Science lectures are given so that those who desire may become familiar with it from the standpoint of those who have studied Christian Science, have applied and proved it.
 God, and this knowing will free us from all misapprehension and false educational theory relative to Him, which has held humanity in bondage and misery. wretchedness and woe, for uncountable generations.
 Mrs. Eddy started her investigation with the realization that God is and that as cause and effect agree, all things that really are must be like God in quality and character. So, in spite of the testimony of the physical senses, regardless of the wrong education of the ages, she took her stand against the things temporal though seen, and with the substance of things hoped for but not seen; and the result of this standing revealed to her the glory of God and the great truth relative to Him, which is the foundation of all the redemptive and healing work that is accomplished in the ministry of Christian Science-namely. that God is infinite mind.
 To summarize the teaching of Chris tian Science relative to reality and unreality-it means simply-life, truth and love are real because they are like God; sin is unreal because sin is unlike God. Disease and pain are unreal because disease and pain are unlike God. And death is unreal be- cause death is unlike God, whom to know aright is life eternal and in whom I've live, and move. and have our being"
 Christian Scienests have had and still continue to have love for Mrs. Eddy that language can never ex- press, because she has taken us near to God. She has taught us what He is. She has made life, truth, love, mind, living realities, and has taught us our natural environment and our spiritual birthright.
 The Norwich Christian Scientists felt that they had enjoyed great

The old house at 39 North Main street has been sold by Edward T. Burke, administrator of the estate of Patrick and Ellen Fitzgerald, to Miss Catherine T. Murphy of North Cliff street.
