AID HOUSE IS GOING
An Old Landmark Is Being Wrecked
in North Topeka.

The old aid House at the corner
of Gordon street and Kansas avenue
is being wrecked to make way for the
new postoffice. The building was
erected in the late 70's by the Freed
mems Aid society, which maintained
headquarters in it. At that time there
was an exodus of negroes from the
south to Kansas and thousands of
them came to Topeka. They came,
it was said, on a promise, that the
head of each family would be given
40 acres of land and a mule. They
arrived in a destitute condition and
were herded in barracks built for the
purpose near the Santa Fe junction
They never got the 40 acres nor the
mule but it was necessary to provide
for them until they could become self
sustaining. Kansas citizens responded
nbcrally to appeals for help and the
laid House soon was packed from
cellar to garnet with provisions, cloth
ing ard bedding.
With its disappearance goes the last
visible memento of the exodus. The
negroes remained and settled in Ten
nessee Town, Redmondville, South
Topeka and other ports of the city.
They or their descendants are there

KANSAS WEEDS HAVE ENEMY.
Agricultural College Expert Advises
Use of Sheep on Fields.

Manhattan, July 17.-Kansas weeds
are readily consumed by sheep if they
have access to them when young and
tender, according to A. M. Paterson,
assistant in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Thus the sheep convert the waste
from stubble fields, fence corners,
roadsides and small lots into an edi-
bic and marketable product.
The flock of sheep on the farm is
a convenient source of fresh meat for
family USE" says Mr.. Paterson. 1.-The
meat is wholesome in character and is
of pleasing flavor. Fewer sheep are
condemned at the packing houses
than Is the case with other class of
live stock.
The breeding flock produces two
cash crops in year. The lambs are
ready for market in the fall and in the
spring the wool clip is a convenient
source of income"

Rocky Ford and other favorite fishing
points near Manhattan, are going to
mend their ways. State Fish and Game

picking up violators of the fish and
game laws.
Complaints have been received by

with a gaff, and hauling the finny fell
lows out. This is strictly against the
law, and will be stopped. Also there
has been some fishing with hoop nets,

MCPHERSON COMMUNITY CHURCH
Kansas Town Would Consolidate F'oul
Congregations This Summer.

KANSAS Town Would COnSOIidate Four
Congregations This Summer.
Nickerson, July 17.-Nickerson has
four churches-Christian, Methodist,
Congregation and Brethren. There
is movement on to unite the churches
and congregations into one large COM
munity church.
The idea is that by uniting expenses,
efforts and enthusiasm, there would
be one strong church, with a municipal
chorus choir, and attracting the inter-
est of the entire community, instead of
dividing forces, and multiplying ex-
penseS.
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton ever since the union revival
meetings, held in a tabernacle in Nick
erson some time ago. The folks of
the various churches liked the unity
of those meetings so we'll that they
hated to quit and go hack into the
respective folds
