While the deal has not been entirely
closed, an agreement was made yester-
day afternoon between the directors
, of the North Topeka Baptist church
and Mrs. Samuel Dolman, S24 Quincy
street, by which the church will come
into possession of the property on the
southeast corner of Gordon and jack
son streets, as soon as the necessary
papers can be made out.
The corner will be the site of the
new church which the Baptists viii
start building this spring. The house
will be removed from the lot, as the
ground will no more than accommo-
date the church as planned. whether
the house will be moved to another
location and used as a parsonage has
not been decided, as the church al
ready has a parsonage at BIG West
Laurent street, adjacent to the present
church.
When the present church was built
in 1901 aid was given the strug-
Cling organization by the Home Mis-
sionary society. and upon its compile
ton the building was decided to the
society to be held in trust, under an
agreement by which the building was
| to be taken over by the society II II
were ever used for any other purpose
| than that of a church, or ever ceased
being used as a church. To obviate
| the difficulty, the stones OF the orig
/ inal church will be used in the con-
! struction of the new church.
The corner where the new church
| will stand was in the early days OF
North Topeka, or Eugene-as it was
/ then known-the home of the Thomp-
kins family, and was the northern
! edge of the town. The property was
! later bought by E. W. Yates, who i'm
proved it and lived there for some
years. L. A. Dolman bought the prop
| erty and lived there while PROBATE
70 "
! made their home there.
| The location is admirably suited for
a church site. 1t is central. on paved
streets. and while in the same block
with the new postoffice, is not in
business district. The Second Presby-
terian church is diagonally across the
street.

STARVING MEN and

In an address in Louisville af-
ter tour OF the state in the in
terest Of the China Famine Fund
the Rev Vim. Stout, describing

rife battle between famished

plague, is here on a years fur
Tough which expires in July. He
told his audience of encounterinS
the battle while on a relief eXpe
dition in the interior of China,
the fight starting over a morse
of food.
"When a dog was killed he was
quickly eaten or when a man was
wounded he was terribly mang-
led by the fangs Of the beasts
which once were pets Of the per
sons they now attack" he said.
AT every stop crowds OF sucl
ragged and manned Chinese, ole
and young, as eyes never before
beheld, would swarm around II
begging for food and money"
Several persons in our party
strcW some coins. to the people
and the scramble was heartrend-
ing. Then some one tried to hand
a morsel of food to one poor old
woman. The crowd that had
followed us was d multitude and
it seemed that the whole mass
fell upon the poor soul and tried
to wrest the morsel from her.
Then as though out Of the
desert a great flock dogs appear
ed in our midst, snarling, snap
ping and.tearlng at the Threats OF
the people. 1t was a hand to
hand battle and as 4 dog would
fall dead eager hands would tear
its flesh and devour it. When
some dog managed to tear hui
man being, a dozen of the Zero
cious beasts would jump on him
and but for the crowd would
have killed him before our eyes.
