Sniritual AwakeningS.

There have been a number of notable
spiritual awakenings in the church
since its organization in connection
with which many persons have been
won over to the cause. The mission
airy and benevolent organizations of the
church have been generously supported.
The services were at first held In
the German language, but as the chill
dren of the members grew up there
came a demand for change, and con-
sequently the English language was
adopted for use in the services six
years ago. The change proved to be a
wise one as the membership was in
creased to one hundred. 1t was crit
ical period of the church but the situ-
alton was ably handled by the Rev.
Church Organizations.
There are numerous auxiliary or
CARNATIONS in the church which are
doing effective work. The Sunday
school is under the leadership Of F.
M. Manshardt; Ira Burkholder is Sec
rotary. Excellent work is being done.
]. Warren is president Of the Young
is president of the Woman's Mission
airy society. and Mrs. G. H. Dahllnan,
recording secretary. Its twenty-five
members secured in the last fiscal
year $3.50 for various purposes. Affil-
lated with this organization is the
MISSION DanQ with MIS-. lOa 6uIk-
holder as superintendent: Inez Mans,
president. and Ruby Granger, secre-
tary.
The local congregation is honored
by having in its membership several
ministers OF the denomination. Rev.
c. Linge and Rev. M. Manshardt both
being connected with the Annual
Conference. The former has had a
membership in the conference almost
from its organization fifty years ago;
the other not SO long. but has had
many years of successful pastoral ex-
perience. One of the members Is Rev.
j. M. Fricker, son CT the organizer
of the congregation. who resides here
and serves a church of his denomina-
ton at .Atchison, Kan.
Kansas Conference.
In the spring of 1864 the Kansas
Conference Of the Evangelical Assc-
citation was organized in the CITY o.
Leavenworth; this conference year Is
therefore the fiftieth annivers ary OF
work in this state and is being appro-
priately observed throughout the con-
ference district by anniversary serv-
ices and the raising OF a $4,000
church extension fund for the build
ing of better and more modern
churches. Rev. J. K. Young will close
his third year with the congregation,
at the time Of the annual conference,
which will open March II at Leaven-
worth.

growth and better accommodations
.were necessary Lincoln Post hall was
used for time; then the opera house,
and later a hall at SIS Kansas avenue.
The present church was erected in 1895
at the corner of Fourth and Monroe
streets during the pastorate of the Rev.
;. Mueller. A parsonage next to the
church has since been purchased.
The annual conference which was
largely responsible for financing the
church enterprise held the property I'M

The church of the Evangelical Asso-
citation in Topeka was organized IN 1900
by the Rev. Phil Fricker. who at the
time lived on a farm sixteen miles
southeast Of this city. He learheu
that a number of persons of this faltn
were living in Topeka, and ne came ~
town to preach for them. This led to
q regular appointment.
When the organization was eHecteo
in August, 'SS, there were twelve mem
bers, five of whom are still with the
church. They are: Mr.. and Mrs. =.
Kaser. Mr.. and Mrs. H. s. fruessneI
and Adam Waidelich. At the annual
conference the following spring the
charge was created and the Rev. Mr..
F'ricker appointed as first pastor. In
his pastorate of one and one halI years
the church grew rapidly. A Sabbath
school was organized, ana Aodiii
WaideIich was elected as its first reg
ular superintendent.

Tho most of the animals are wild, and some of them are loaded with products and made to pay their passage as freight animals. Much of the way is through the woods. where the cry of panther may ia through the swamps, which become quagmires in the rainy season, so that the animals wade breast deep through the mud. The average number in drove of cattle is from 1000 to 200O, and tho own CTS sometimes lose whole drove on its way to the market. When the animals arrive they are often living skeletons and have to be fattened before they can be sold
 In some parts of Brazil there are cattle fairs to which animals from all parts of the country are driven. There are two of these In the state of Blnas Geraes and others in other provinces. Buyers go from Rio Janeiro to these fairs to buy animals for the municipal slaughter houses. They have to keep a large number of animals on hand for the reason that cold storage Is lacking. This IS so in most Brazilian cities. In Rio about 400 beasts are killed daily to supply the demand Tho animals bring different prices, accord ing to the season and the locality. m some parts of Matto Crosse g. year-old steer Is worth from s5 to $l0, while saddle OK will bring from $l6 to s25. In the state of Goyaz a D. year-old steer or OK is valued at from $10 to S30 and in the little state of Pauhy an may sell for from s to $10.
 During the past two years cattle have greatly risen in value. and they are now advancing at tho rate of about $3 per head per annum. Not long ago fat steers weighing 1000 pounds brought as much as $40 at the municipal slaughter houses and it Is now estimated that to stock large ranch in the interior with cows would cost something like s2S per head.
 I have been asked sometimes AS to prices of cattle lands. That depends en- tirely on where the land is located and it's accessibility to the market. In the well settled states of Sac Paulo, Santa Cath arina, Rio Grande do Sul and Parana the prices range from s2 to $50 per acre In Matto Crosse, Goyaz and Minas Ge- raes equally good land can be gotten from 30 cents to sl per acre. All depends on the locality and the means of getting the cattle to the consumers.
 The government Is doing all it can % better the cattle and to improve the na- tive breeds. Premiums are given Tor the importation of all kinds of stock. and

The Great Kentucky Central

 A railroad president spoke at a dinner in Boston on railway safety.
 Why. the day may come" he declared, when all roads will be as safe as the Great Kentucky Central.
 "A passenger on that railroad said to the conductor: EN

 "'Oh. suppose. then. you use electric or pneummatic signaling?'

that will keep growing from its birth until 1t weighs two or three hundred pounds"
 During our conversation MT. Macken- zie showed me number of photographs of cattle taken upon his ranches In Pa rana Sac Paulo and Matto Crosse. The fine big long-horned animals-far better I should. say than the native Texas breed He showed mo also some of the Here lords they are now raising on the Parana ranch. They look as well as any young stock Ihave seen In the states. Among other pictures was one of a xebu bull These have been imported from India and they are used largely as a cross with the native stock. They are vicious. how ever and they run so largely to lean meat that they are not good as cross meat, and for this reason the zebus have become quite popular in many parts of the country.
 MT Mackenzie showed me some pho tographs of the cowboys of the big ranch not far from Sac Paulo. The most of them were barefooted Brazilians. and their bronchos were mules. The methods of taking care of the cattle on that ranch were the same as ours. It is different In the more remote parts ot the country. There the cowboys limit themselves to visiting the ranches only now and then. They watch the cattle carefully at breeding time, and the calves arc immediately separated from the cows. The calves are shut up in oorrals and the cows brought in to feed them morning and evening. In the far north the cattle are lassoed In Rio Grande the cowboys use the bolo. In some places the animals are branded. In others they are marked by cutting their ears in such a way that they can be known. Each fazenda has it's own cut or mark. The cowboys of the great plains of Goyaz and other central states are dressed in leather from head to foot. Tn some places they are paid by being given share of the production.
 The completion of the railroad to the highlands of Matto Crosse will make a great difference in the handling of the cattle. The stock will be fattened on the ranches and carried on the cars to the packing houses. Now there are practically no packing houses. and the cattle are driven overland to the market. The distance ranges from coo to 1000 miles, and it requires many weeks to make 1t.
