Salina, Kan.-Missions, schools and
temperance were the matters under
discussion at the Northwest Kansas
conference in session here the other
day One of the features was the ad
dress of Miss Ella Watson, CORE
spending secretary of the National
Woman's Foeign Missionary society.

last four years. OF all the conferences
she visited, Kansas leads in the num-
Der of missionaries sent to the for
eign fields. Illinois, she said, sent
more missionaries out than any other
state in the United States, but that
state is not in her jurisdiction. Kan

KANSAS TOPICS
KANSAS BATTERY is
READY FOR FIELD
Equipment Is of Newest Design APP
proved by Army Experts-Four
Long Range Guns.

Topeka, Kan.-lf war breaks out
with Mexico and the national guard
is ordered to the front, Kansas will
send one of the best batteries in the
militia service. 1t is the only battery
in the national guard of this state,
and is located here. Recently it has
been supplied by the United States
government with the latest equipment
furnished either to regular or militia
service. In round figures the equip
ment for the Topeka battery cost 1884,
900.
The battery has four guns. They are
three-inch breech-loading rifles, which
will throw a sixteen-pound shrapnel
5000 yards, or a distance slightly in
excess of three miles. One of these
shells, after travelling that distance,
still has the same velocity and is just
as effective as at 100 yards from the
gun.
Each shell is loaded with 260 balls,
which are set over a charge of powder.
The time fuse is set on the dial of the
range The gunner thus knows just at
what distance the explosion will occur
which blows the nose from the shell.
The 260 bullets spread like fan, 60
ing approximately 100 yards ahead
and out about 20 yards.
Most of the firing done by batteries
now is indirect. The object shot at is
not visible from the guns. This pro-
tects the men, guns and equipment
TheSrange finder takes a position to
the rear of the guns from which he
can see the object at which the mis-
siles are to be directed. The range
may be found from his position, but
the new equipments all carry full
telephone set, over which the range
finder may send directions to the gun
ners. The dials on the rifles are set
from the figures which he supplies
them.
The officers of Battery A are: Cap
tain, W. A. Pattison; first lieutenant,
C. E. Edwards first lieutenant, c. G.
Grimes; second lieutenant, D. T. Jen-
nings; second lieutenant, M. G. Pennl-
kamp.
There are 1875 men in the battery.
Lieutenant Barrows, Fourth field ar
tillery, is instructor of the Kansas bat
terry, the two batteries of Missouri and
those of Texas and New Mexico. Ser
geant w. A. Roller, Sixth field artil-
lery, is with the battery all of the time
as instructor.
"The battery" said General Charles
l. Martin, adjutant general of the
Kansas national guard, is efficient,
well equipped and thoroughly ready to
take the field at any time. Captain
Pattison, connected with the battery
since 1891, and captain since 1898, is a
very efficient battery commander. Reg
ular army officers, who are familiar
withNhis battery, rate it very highly"

Collects For Care of Patient.

Topeka, Kan.-The sum of $4,000
from the estate of Richard Benton,
has been collected for the maintenance
fund of the state hospital at Osawato-
mic by the State Board of Control.
Benton is an incurable patient at the
hospital, and has been there since
1890, having been sent from Kingman
county. This amount has been paid
into the maintenance fund by the
trustee of Benton's estate in conform
ity to law which governs in cases
where the inmates have any property.
The sum was agreed upon as a salts
factory settlement for the care of the
patient from 1890 to 1910. The trustee
will hereafter pay a stipulated sum
per year as long as Benton lives. Ben
ton is a Kansas pioneer, having gone
to Kingman county many years ago
with an OK team.

Sunshine.

Surround the children with every
possible cheer. Smiles and
children have music, let them have
pictures, let them have laughter, let
them have good time; not an idle
time, but one full of cheerful occupa-
ton. Surround them with all the
should be given sun and air and the
blue sky. Give them to your boys and
girls. l do not mean for day or a
month, but for all the years. We can
not treat plant tenderly one day
and harshly the next day; they cannot
stand it.-Luther Burbank, in THE

erly. These points are so well taken
care of by artists in millinery that
even the simplest-seeming hats are
really amazingly well thought out and
adapted to their wearers.'
The lines of the Dutch bonnet, the
dear Wilhelmina, have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having a crown
of purple violets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat, in
soft hemp, shows decided point at
the front and small, rather pointed
crown, which would be insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape in navy blue
had a wide flange of velvet in the
same color and the loops, or ears,
were of taffeta silk, also in plain navy
blue of rather bright shade.
A hood of turcan laid over a cap
shape, covered with black silk, is also
an unusually clever development of
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolled-up brim is covered with
two folds of black satin and bow OF
ribbon in black satin finishes band
which apparently holds the point of
the hood in place at the back.
The liking for quaint shirrings,
quillings and ruchings came in with
the return of fabrics with which they
were used almost a half century ago.
A shirred band Of changeable taffeta
finishes the soft straw bonnet shape
shown here. Two rosettes of the taft
feta look like big full-blown roses;
they are placed at each side of the
brim. A short broad plume, in the
colorings of the silk, finishes the hat.
The hats shown in the illustrations
are very practical models. Although
each hat, it must be conceded, is chic
Ito the French degree) yet each is
simplicity itself.

NMALL hats for spring are to be

~ stores of note, launched upon
their adventures in the world Of
fashion; that world has evidenced a
growing appreciation of certain shapes
which proved too good to pass with

spring materials, are simply enticing.
The day has come when women de-

The curious fancy for mingling
black with the adornment of lingerie
and other more personal articles is
finally manifested in a pair of gar
tiers.
On the shirred black band that
forms the solid part Of the garter are
sprinkled silk roses in pastel shades;
the same flowers ornament the lace
rosettes. from which dangle smaller
roses on ribbon ends. The lace frill,

week owners Of property about Lake
Tahoe and others interested III CON
serving the scenic beauties. ii was
decided to incorporate the Lake Ia
hoe Protective Association. Any

FIVE hundred.
The association will actively OPP
pose any manipulation on the lakes
waters. whether by cutting the rim
to reduce the lower water level or
by dammiug it to raise the high wat
er mark beyond the danger point.
and whether attempted by private
corporations or by the reclamation
service.
In addition it proposes generally
to preserve the scenic beauties OF
the lake. to guard against FIRE in the
adjoining forests, to prevent illegal
fishing in the lake or its tributaries.
to protect the game and iish OF the
region and to promote in every pos
sible way the welfare OF the lake and
the surrounding country. The asso-
citation is expected to take an active
interest in all legislation affecting
forest fires and other matters
affecting the timber lands of the
state. and will probably recommend
certain amendments to existing or
proposed laws at the next session OF
the Legislature

NEW PROCESS
To Be USED

Another attempt is to be made
to save the gold at the Pine Nut
Consolidated mine near Gardner
Vile Stockholders of the company
have raised sufficient funds for the
installation OF what is known as an
electric amalgamator. A test run
OF ore from this mine was made at
Oakland recently with this process
and it is claimed that 65 per cent
Of the values were saved The plant
was seen in operation by several of
the stockholders and it Is through
their efforts that the electric ANAL
gamator is to be installed.
Those who have invested in this
property are anxious TO make one
more attempt to save the gold that
has. so far, defed every attempted
process. The electric amalgamator
is new process and is beng oper-
ated in different parts OF California
with marked ssuccess.-Gardnerville

With returns struggling Ill from
