AN INTERESTING RELIC
Topeka Museum Has Old Kettle Used
by Earliest Pioneer Settlers.

The Kansas Historical society has re-
ceived one of the most valuable Kansas
relics in he vast collection in the new
museum. It Is an old iron stove ket-
tie, used at the old Kisckapoo Indian
mission on the Missouri river SOUTHEAST
Of Atchison. The kettle was donated by
Mrs. r. NJ. King, of Oak Mills. It was
used and practically worn out before
Kansas became a state and was in use
for many years before Kanss was open
to settlement. m
The kettle was brought to Kansas be-
fore 1910. The nilsson was opened by
the Rev. J. c. Bergman in 1888. when
the Kickapoos were brought from Illi-
nois to Kansas by the government. The
kettle was brought to the mission soon
afterward. Mrs. King came to Kansas
with her parents in 1855 and they set
tied near the mission, in fact lived in
the mission building for a time.
The old kettle had been discarded
about the time the new settlers arrived
and Mrs. Kings parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
David Hettle secured it and kept it
ever since. The kettle probably had
been used many years before it was
brought to Kansas because it bears evil
dence of exceptionally long usage. The
old mission stood on the farm now
owned by an aunt of Mrs. King and
some of the old logs used in erecting
the building may still be seen. It is
asserted that one. If not the first legal
marriage among white people, in what
is now Kansas. was soiemnized in the
Bergman. founder of the mission, mar
ried Ann jefferson to the Rev. w. C.
Ellefret. Both were teachers in the
mission

Supply Low in Belgian Capital

London, Oct. 2.-Hugh B Gibson.
secretary of the American legation at
Brussels has just arrived in London.
He says Brussels Is quiet. but the
food supplies is becoming low. The
Germans permitted arrangements to
bring food from Antwerp to Brussels,
but as the supplies were about to be
shipped military movements disar-
ranged railway transportation.
Major Hans Won Herwerth. who
was formerly military attache at the
German embassy in Washington, was
amoLg the first German officers to en-
ter Brussels. He remained there for
many weeks, extending courtesies to
Americans and other foreigners. The
major is now in the war zone.
Mrs. Gibson came here with Mrs.
Mallie Brand Whitlock, mother Of
Brand Whitlock, American minister
to Belgium, who is on her way to the
United States. Mr.. Gibson will re-
turn In a few days to Brussels, where
Mr.. Whitlock, accompanied by his
wife, is still at his post.

CUSTOMS. SHORT.
War Cuts Revenues Nine and Half
Millions.

Washington. Oct. 2-Although gov
eminent revenue from customs fell off
about $4,000 during September. COM
pared with the same month in 1913,
treasury officials found some comfort
in figures showing recent exports in
grain and cotton. There was encour-
agement, too. in the announcement that
for September. the ordinary internal
revenue receipts were almost six mil
lion dollars above those for the last
September. although this increase is
said to be due to unusual causes not
likely to figure in future months.
Despite the help from increased in
ternal revenue, the total receipts for
the month from all sources were nearly
six million dollars under last Septem-
Der and the excess Of disbursements
Tor the month was nearly $9,600.0OO,
while In September, 1913, the excess Of
disbursements was about four million
dollars. -

OF Sedan. as told by the correspondent:
The French general ordered his
troops to tall back across the river and
take up positions on the opposite
heights. The bridges were mined but
were left standing in order to deceive
the Germans into thinking that the
French were retreating hastily. The
ruse succeeded. The Germans advanced
across the bridges in close formation.

find the bridges gone.
The French regiments then adj

Many Germans threw down their arms
and attempted to swim the river and
large numbers were drowned. When

The artillery threw shells at tho
rate Of dozen rounds minute into
the German ranks and varied its tactics
by throwing incendiary shells into the
forests where part of the German force
