Charles Winston Is Ready for
the Coming of Christ Now.
Many Other TOpekans Believe
the Millennium Is Near.

Charles WinStOn'S preliminary pre-
parations for the second coming of
Christ some time between now and
ing when he pocketed 900 in cash
acre tract near Tenth street and Gold
estate dealer, purchased the tract from
little more than $500 and then gave
Winston a check for $1,000 to pay the
balance. Newman took Winston to a
bank to identify him.
- Do you want to deposit it here p "
Newman quotes the cashier as asking.
" No." Winston replied.
So 1900 in bills We're showed across
the counter and Winston walked away
with the money, Newman states.
Winston advertised his tract for
sale, declaring that he had positive
knowledge that Christ will be on earth
soon and that the millennium is near.
Worldly goods are not needed in
Utopia he believes.
Since the story of Winston's actions
was published in the State Journal
it has been discovered that many are
expecting the second coming of Christ
in the near future, basing their belief
on the passages in the book of Revela-
lions which intfmates that when all
the worlds at war, Christ will come.
They look upon the near world war
as the war referred to in that book.
Newman stated that the transfer of
deed of Winston's property was re-
corded today in the office of the reg
lister of deeds

OLD CHANG OUT"
OF FARMERS is
WIPED OFF MAP

The corner of Sixth avenue and
Quincy street southwest, may be i'm
proved in appearance by the new Dib-
tie building, but it will never be the
same corner The favorite congregat-
ing point of farmers when they come
to town to shop has been completely
ruined from a congregating stand
point.
For many years the old building at
Sixth and Quincy has been occupied
by an implement store and a number
of wagons. rakes cultivators and other
farm implements adorned the side
walk along the east side of the build
ing. There the farmers gathered
every day and snapped chatter on
farm problems, talked weather and
snapped horses.
The farmers now stand outside the
fence and gaze at the hole in the
ground where once was conglomera-
ton of farm machinery on which they
could sit and feel perfectly at home.
Business improvements and extensions
may be all right but it is a healthy
wind that blows bad to nobody
