CHURCH WITH THREE PEWs.
Oddly in Architecture That Resulted
From Kansas Court Case.

From Kansas Court Case.
LIE Loup. Kan, Cor. Kansas City
Star: This village has a church that
attracts much attention from strang-
ers who visit here and is an object of
especial curiosity to passengers on
Santa Fe trains. who catch glimpses
Of it from the car windows.
Its distinctiveness lies in the fact
that it seems to be "cut off just behind
the ears, which is reality, as only
the steeple, the pulpit. the entrance
and three pews remain of what once
was a commodious church. The build
ing originally was 30 by so feet in size,
and has been abbreviated until now it
is only IS by 80 feet.
The odd appearing church resulted
from congregational row and a long
series .of court cases In which the It'll
cation was carried at last to the su-
preme court of the state. Mrs. Sylvia
c.. Gloon, who had bid the church in
at sheriff's sale, was the winner in the
litigation.
However, for several years, during
the uncertainty of the outcome of the
case, she feared to invalidate her title
by making a move that would incapa-
citate the property for religious wor-
ship, so she left enough of the building
to comply with that requirement and
cut the other 45 feet off and moved it
across the road and remodeled it for
residence.
The church was built in 1905 at g.
cost of $4,000, and Rev. n. s. Franklin
of Ottawa was it's first pastor. The
original memb bership consisted of six
teen persons. 1t is of the Christian
denomination.

The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States is federation of the
chambers of commerce. boards of trade
and national trade associations Of the
country, seeking to serve the nation
as a local chamber of commerce, serves
the community in which 1t Is Situated.
Engaged in the gigantic task Of cen-
tralizlng into one national body all the
forces of American commerce and in
dustry SO that their efforts toward the
advancement of the nations business
might reach the highest efficiency, the
directors are making this three weeks
tour of the west in order to hold their
July meeting on the Pacific coast and
to bring into closer touch with the
work of the chamber and it's accom-
plishments. the business forces OF this
section, upon whose active co-opera
ton and support depends the full
measure of success in their UNDER
taking.
Never before has an organization
representing business In national
way given full recognition to the Inn
portance of the western states in the
conduct of its affairs, hence their
failure. Never has such a tour as
that of President Wheeler and his
cabinet of business men been under
taken that a study of western busi-
ness and development might be made
lat close quarters.
So rapid has been the growth of the
movement to unite the nations buSi-
ness in one central organization that
the general public and the business
men themselves. have had no real
chance to be informed of the import
lof this Capitalization of Americas
business forces for the unselfish pro-
lection and development of the ma
tion's trade.
"The primary function Of the cham

lcussing the purposes of the national
body, .is to focus business sentiment.
When policies affecting Americas
commerce are under discussion by the
federal authorities, the country now
has for the first time an organiza-

business opinion Of the entire nation,

The progress OF leading European
nations In commercial development,

WOMEN TIE MAKERS.
In Arkansas They Rival the Men as
Workers in the Woods,

Workers in the Woods.
Cotter, Ark, Correspondent Kansas
City Star: In addition to being the
worlds largest producer Of the tie
making industry, southern Missouri
and northern Arkansas have perhaps
the only female tie-makers in the
world. This title belongs to Mrs. w.
A. Kelsey, and her two sisters-in- law.
They are in the employ of r. M. Ruth
ven of this town, contractor on the
White River road, and according to
Mr.. Ruthven there are no better la
borers than the women. At present
the Kelseys are employed near Cedar
creek in Taney county, Missouri. At
the end of the month their output will
average right around that of any of
the men.
The Kelsey women are professional
tiemakers. Before coming to the White
river country they were employed in
Miller county, Missouri. The menfolk
in the family are also tie-makers, and
it was from them that the women
learned the art Of the broadaxe and be-
came proficient in the work. The eldest
of the trio is 35 years and she turns
our from ten to twelve ties a day, for
which she receives IA cents each. She
averages well around SITE a day and
has never yet complained of the low
wages of women. The other two wo-.
men do about as well. All are proffci-
ent in the use Of the axe, and really
make better ties and have fewer culls
than the men. Mrs. Kelsey is the pio
neer woman in the industry, having
been engaged in the work steadily for
the past three years. Her muscles are
hardened, and she can swing an axe
all day long untiringly. She fells her
own timber and with one of the other
women on the end Of her cross-cut
saw she makes her own cuts.

MANN'S ARTISWC PERFORM tNCE

Tn "Elevating Husband Louis Mann, who appeared before a large audience at the IIlks Theater last night, has the best vehicle of his en-
 tire successful carer and one that more perfectly enables him to display his remarkable talents. His 'Cheater' of last season nor his Man Who Stood Still of several seasons prev ious can in no way compare with his enjoyable and artistic performance of last evening. The play of this season is in deep contrast to his other per formances. 1t is overflowing with a delightful comedy situation and gives plenty of opportunity for pathos and emotion. Mir. Mann as Charles Sam pie carries with the character a real ism and bit of character acting that wins applause and admiration. His love for his mother and his will lingness to be lovable and dutiful husband, as well as to be a success in commerce are all exhibited with a cleverness that stamps him a great ac- tor. His support was excellent. Miss Wellman shared the honors with the star in her role of Lefty Lawton and Charles Miller as Herbert Duncan and Miss Marion Holcombe as Mrs Sample, his mother, are deserving of special praise In fact his entire cast could not be improved upon. The play carries with it many fine morals and shows care and much thought in it's preparation. 1t was written by Clara Lipman and Samuel Shipman.

 The White and St. Francis rivers in Arkansas are rising rapidly and a great volume of water is coming down the Arkansas river.
 Reports from Nashville say that both the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers are rising. The heavy rain in Middle Tennesse during the last few days have swollen mountain streams that will pour great volumes of water into the Cumberland and Tennessee.
