FAMOUS SIKH TEMPLE.
Most Costly and Ornate Place of Wor-
ship In the World.


You have seen some costly and beau
dful churches, especially If you have
travelled in Europe. You may perhaps
have gagged the religious devotion of
a given sect by the money it has Law
tshed on it's temple, and if this is your
standard do you know who are the
most devout religionists In the world?
The Greek church in Russia and the
Roman church in Italy reveal great de-
votton, but their piety, measured by
the above standard is trivial when
compared to that Of the Sikhs, disciples
Of Nanak Shah, in the Punjab, now
British India. At Amritsar, about thir-
ty miles from Lahore, where Edwin
Lord Weeks painted his wonderful orr
entail pictures, there is Sikh temple
that Is without q peer in the Christian
world. 1t was built when the poltico-
religious organization was at the pin
nacle Of its power and all the wealth
and splendid decorative feeling Of the
orient were at the disposal Of the
builders
The temple Itself, which was at one
time served by 600 priests, is sixty feet
long and about half that width. It IS
surrounded by a deep depression, which
Is called the "Fount Of Immortality"
The bridge leading across this to the
entrance Of the temple proper is floor
ed by plates of engraved silver, each
twelve feet square. The bridge Is IL
Illuminated by gold lamps on marble
pedestals. The walls Of the temple
are marble, inlaid by marvellous mOsa-
les. The roof IS composed Of three
g1lded domes, surrounded by small
golden cupolas, and the doors are Of
solid silver. All this is but q setting
for the most costly and ornate altar In
the world.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

GROWTH IN Topeka
Gain of 1,40O in School Panala-
ton in Year.
Nearly $4,000 Little Citizens in
City Now.
MORE THAN 1000 NEGROES
This Includes Children Between
Ages and 81.
Improved and Accurate Census
Methods.
MORE THAN 1000 NEGROES

That there has been gain of APP
proximately 1.40O in the school
population" which includes all those
between and p years of age, in the
last year was shown by the annual
school census report issued from the
office of Superintendent Wilson today.
Last year the school census showed
that there were 1914 persons of
school age living in Topeka.
The increase this year amounts to
more than II per cent, the census
showing that there are 1.7s1 persons
of school age, 1902 of whom are
negroes.
Improved methods of taking and
checking the school census in the past
two years have brought down the
number of the school population. In
1913 and 1914 eager census takers dis
covered that there were nearly 1900
persons of school age. They were
paid at the rate of cents per name.
Efficiency methods in 1915 brought
down the total more than 1900.
But now it is certain that there has
been an actual gain of nearly 1,400 in
the past year.

Milk Supply Big Problem New
York City Faces.

New York, Aug. 3O.-Railroad traf-
fic both to and from New York City
showed feverish activity today in an
ticipation of a general strike. 1t is
estimated that before September f. the
threatened date of the tie-up, this city
will rid itself of a floating population
of nearly 100000 and receive home
about the same number of residents
ger traffic just before Labor day is al
ways heavy even under normal cir
cumstances.
Unless the situation changes radi-
cally it is expected that the other east
ern railroads will follow the example
ford and declare freight embargo to
take effect September 4.
Plan for Food Supply.
The management of the New York
Central will consider this matter to-
day on the return of President A. H
Smith from Washington. Railroad
executives here expressed hope today
that if a strike were called they could
run enough food trains to keep the
city from privation. This city's milk
supply, they promised, would be the
first to receive consideration. The
big milk companies have been organ
iZing to meet the situation ever since
the strike became imminent
Drivers of milk wagons have been
instructed TO take a census of the
babies on their routes and they will
be attended to first. The milk COM
panies have arranged to obtain hun
dreds of motor trucks which will be
used to collect milk from the territory
surrounding New York if the regular
milk train service fails. New York
consumes 100000 quarts of milk a
Cay and it is estimated that IS per cent
Of this goes to babies and another 25
Per cent to children who depend large
ly on milk for food.
The police department, it was an
nounced today, is prepared if need
arises, to assume virtual control OF
the food and fuel supply. For this
purpose it has made a canvass to as
certain the stock of foodstuffs now
available here and it has a list of al
motor truck and other vehicles thai
can be used to carry freight and OF
lighters, towboatS and other vessels
that can be pressed into service in the
waters surrounding the city.
In the wholesale grocery and com.
mission district today it was reported
that restaurants, hotels and boarding
houses were beginning to lay in h 'gt
stocks of food. Wholesale grocers are
not disposed to agree with the predic.
ton that in the event of a railroad
tie-up there would be a food famine
here in a week. If the milk supply
for children could be assured. it wa.
said that the rest of New York could
find enough food here or in easy reach
to last for months.
