Rev. M. Phillips and his members at tended the Primitive Baptist church association at Fort Scotte Kansas last week. Dr C. H. C Jordan, south American English Slang in France. Never have the French made use of so many English words as during the past season. The world of "sport" began the practice some years ago, and it had this excuse, that it drew its horses, its "trainers" and its "jockeys" from the other side of the channel. But nowadays French society indulges in a positive debauch of exotic terms. One goes no longer "sur le champ des courses," but "on the turf." The horses go round the "ring." The "donneurs de Paris" are "bookmakers." The "gross pontes," "plungers." A "thoroughbred" (pur sang) is no longer "boiteux," but "broken down."—Paris letter. Among members of the Greek church in Macedonia the following recipes are regarded as highly useful: To pacify one's enemies write the psalm "Known in Judea," dissolve it in water, and give your enemy to drink thereof, and he will be pacified. For a startled and frightened man take three dry chestnuts and sow-thistle and three glasses of old wine and let him drink thereof early and late; write also "In the beginning was the Word," and let him carry it. --- 22 ADMINISTRATOR'S English Slang in France.

Gladstone hated tobacco in every form, and while premier of England said once reproachfully to a close personal friend, "You have been smoking this morning." The reply was, "I have been sitting for half an hour in the room of Sir William Harcourt, who is a great smoker." Mr. Gladstone said, with surprise, "I never knew he smoked. He must be always careful in changing his clothes before he comes up to me." Harcourt being a member of the Gladstone cabinet. To Purify Politics. Bishop Coleman of Delaware at the annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Delaware assailed corruption in the state and said: "A man must be made to feel that what he would be afraid and ashamed to do in his own social relations he is to be equally ashamed to do in politics. He is not to be allowed to use his church membership as a cloak under whose protecting folds he may be guilty of all manner of deceit and fraud." Tales of Two Cities Prof Arthur A.

J. French of the young men, s committee, was indeed well rendered. The main features were a welcome address by Mr. French; a good paper by E. B. Graves; unique and well received address by P, K. Brown; and the climax was reached only when Dr J, N. Soanes read a most interesting and suggestive paper. It was unanimously agreed that each address was worthy of the most careful discussion, but owing to the lateness of the hour all discussion were necessarily omitted. Following the program chairman E. F. Henderson of the nomination committee took the chair and presented the following for officers, all of whom were unanimously elected, J, J. Thomas, president, O. B. Johnson Miss Sara C'inn, and Prof J. R. Harrison, Vice presidents; Miss Rebecca Thompson, secretary; Miss Aurnette Scott, assistant secretary; Miss Minnie Jackson Cor. secy; Mrs G. A- Griffith Treasure; C. Patterson Chaplain: --- Govener Aycock of North Carolina in an article upon the "Disfranchisement of the Negro." in The World of To-day for October describes the present situation with more clearess than such discussion commonly exhibit: he said;' Less than twenty thousand Negroes now vote in this State. There are perhaps one hundred and twenty thousand male ad-ult Negroes in the State. The number who can vote will increase with the years and will be founded on intelligence, Each Negro who comes to the ballot will feel that he has won his right to vote by preparation for it. and will set a value on the suffrage. He will use it more wisely than his father did. Already those who can vote are beginning to exercise the suffrage with more freedom. The intelligent and virtuous among the Negroes when all could vote were a fraid to separate themselves from the great mass of the Negroes and in consequence they all voted one way. It made no difference what the question presented was, if the party to which the Negro,belonged espoused one side, every Negro felt compelled for fear of social ostracism and out of sense of loyalty to his race to take his party's side. Instead of the intelligent and virtuous among them being leader they were driven by their more ignorant and more numerous fellows isto the support of measures which their judgment and conscience disapproved. Now only 'he intelligent Negroes can vote' As their numbers in crease they will, develop ope leaders among themselves, holding different views on public questions, and will, undubtedly, at the polls more nearly reflect those views than they have ever done in the past. In the mean time no Negro is denied any civil right in the state.

Latest Kansas News A Plan o Establish a Special State Bureau. TOPEKA.—(Special.) It is very probable that the next legislature will establish an immigration bureau in connection with the state free employment bureau. Much work that would fail to a director of an immigration bureau is done now by T. B. Gerow, free employment agent, but he has no appropriation for the work and is not authorized by law to do it. Kansas has had a great influx of settlers since the size of this year's wheat crop became known, and many of them came to the state without any definite knowledge of the part of it which they wanted to live. Many Iowa farmers have come to this state this year. A majority of these have purchased farms in the northeastern part of the state. They sold their farms in Iowa for $100 an acre and are now buying land as valuable for agricultural purposes for one-half or two-thirds the price received for their lands. Many of the farmers who have lived many years in the northern and eastern part of the state are selling their farms and moving to the western part. The Western Kansas real estate agents have gone into the immigration business as a result of the desire of Eastern Kansas farmers to purchase their lands. These agents are running excursions into the western counties and selling more land in a week than formerly in a year. James N. Fike ex railroad commissioner, sews that the population of Thomas county will increase 15 per cent in the next six months by reason of the arrival of new settlers. "The wheat crop of Thomas county will bring the farmers about $600, 600," said Mr. Fike. "They have about $50,000 worth of barley, and I suppose they will sell upwards of half a million dollars' worth of cattle. Land values have doubled in the last year or two. Unbroken wheat land is worth from $4 to $8 an acre, and broken land from $5 to $10. People in the extreme western counties say the wheat acreage the coming year will be as great as it was last year and greater in Sherman and Wallace counties, it is too dry to plow, but the seed is being drilled in without plowing. Much appling wheat is grown. In that section, and what cannot be sown this fall be sown in the spring." Crazed by Religion and Love. He has made himself obnoxious to the community at large and finally threatened some children at a school house. Kentuckian Killed in Kansas. LEBANON.—(Special.) Theodore B. Campbell, aged about 50 years, was run over and instantly killed by a Rock Island train at the depot Friday. His home was in New Haven, KY., where he had a wife and eight children. He had been working in a railroad concrete gang at Athol and was moving with the cars to Courtland. When the train stopped here the men went uptown to get lunch, when the train started and they all ran and climbed on. Campbell, who had two or three leaves of bread under one arm, which greatly interfered with his movements, missed the step of the ladder of the freight car and fell under the wheels. No Motive Power to Haul Wheat. NESS CITY.—(Special.) The switch on the main line of the Missouri Pacific at Utica and Ransom are filled with cars of wheat which have been standing there for thirty days. The Missouri Pacific has not motive power enough to move them. The Great Bend extension of the Santa Fe (the "Bobtail") has been furnishing plenty of cars and as a result is marketing the entire 2,000,000 bushel wheat crop of the county. When it comes to stepping into a fortune no man objects to putting his foot in it. Kansas Shippers Organize. TOPEKA.—(Special.) An organization is being formed in Kansas for the purpose of bringing about lower freight rates in the state. It will be called the Farmers and Merchants' Freight Association, and will have branches in every county. It will be non-political, and will make an effort to have a bill passed by the legislature to bring about a more satisfactory condition for the shippers. The palmist is usually looking for a hand out. Militiamen Lose Out. ATCHISON. — (Special.) Seven or eight members of the local company of Kansas national guards have lost their jobs as a result of being away from work ten days to attend the Fort Riley maneuvers. This fact, together with the arrest of an employer at Emporia, for discharging a militiaman who attended the maneuvers under the call of his superior officers, is attracting considerable attention here. Reward of $15,000? TOPEKA.—(Special.) General Manager Mudge has gone to Pueblo to try to run down the persons who wrecked the Santa Fe passenger train near that place a few days ago. It is rumored that he has offered a reward of $15,000 for the arrest of the criminals. This cannot be verified here because all the leading officials of the Santa Fe are out of town. However, it is known that Mr. Mudge has been authorized by the company to offer a big reward and to do anything he can to capture the guilty parties. Two Small Wrecks in Kansas SALINA.—(Special.) A Union Pacific freight train was ditched near Russell Sunday morning. Five heavily loaded cars were derailed, and men have been at work most of the day replacing the cars and repairing the track. All eastbound traffic was delayed for about twelve hours. The Missouri Pacific had a small wreck at Gypsum City Saturday night. No one was reported injured in either accident. Funeral of Miss Smith. MANHATTAN.—(Special.) The funeral of Miss Lorena Smith, who was murdered by a jealous lover, Hosea Bowers, was held at the home of the girl's parents at the Casement ranch Sunday afternoon. Interment took place in the Manhattan cemetery. The body of Bowers, who shot himself after killing his sweetheart, Miss Smith, was brought to the Murdock undertaking rooms and was buried Monday. More Leavenworth Rural Routes. LEAVENWORTH. — (Special.) A new rural route known as No. 6 started out of Leavenworth Monday morning with O. C. Chacey as carrier. The route covers considerable territory not heretofore touched by rural free delivery, but it was laid out mainly with a view to shortening three of the old routes. Another new route was started from Jarbalo and will be known as Route L. It covers new territory. There are now about fifteen routes in this county. Buys Atchison Coal Mine ATCHISON. — (Special.) The Wear Coal Company will develop and mine Atchison's three-foot vein of coal, a contract to that effect having been signed Friday. The local company after sinking a shaft over a thousand feet, encountered more water than it could handle with the funds available. The Wear company, which has a number of Western mines, will furnish the necessary money from now on, and has agreed to pay off the local stockholders at par with 6 per cent interest. The shaft is now withing 120 feet of the coal. A Kansas Farmer Killed by Gambler. SALINA. — (Special.)

He was soon captured and sent back to serve out his original term for bank robbery. TRAIN WRECKED SAN7A FE TRAIN GOES THROUGH A BRIDGE IN COLORADJ. ABOUT THIRTY PEOPLE WERE HURT Many of Them Are From Kansas and Missouri—Spikes Had Been Pulled From Several Rails—Derrailing of the Train Wrecked the Bridge—Another Santa Fe Wreck in Kansas PUEBLO, COL.—(Special.) By an act of train wreckers, eastbound passenger train No. 6, known as the Colorado-Chicago "flier," in which was one car filled with Eastern bankers, homeward bound, from California, was derailed at 1:30 o'clock Friday morning at Apishapa creek, thirty-five miles east of this city, and breaking down the steel bridge, the engine and four cars plunged into the bed of the creek, where they were piled in a mass of wreckage. Thirty or more trainmen and passengers were injured, and that none was killed outright is regarded as almost miraculous. The wrecked train was made up at Denver and at Pueblo the special car, Del Rosa, in charge of A. S. Kimberley, and carrying eighteen Eastern bankers, was attached to it. The train was bowling along at a speed of fifty miles an hour at is approached Aplishapa creek, between Manganola and Fowler. At the west end of te bridge the rails spread, deralling the engine, and when it struck the bridge one span, 100 feet long, went down. The engine, two baggage cars and a chair car and a coach rolled over on their sides, to the creek bed, a distance of only about fifteen feet. Fortunately, but little water wa srunning in the creek at the time. One Pullman stopped with the forward end projecting over the embankment. The bankers' car was the only one in the train that was not derailed. When the engine rolled over, Engineer Walker was pinned under his cab, and he was immediately enveloped in an immense cloud of steam. Some time elapsed before he was rescued by other members of te train crew, with the assistance of some passengers. Engineer Walker said that the first HOW OLD MANCHURIA AUSSIA HOW OLD IS ANN? MANCHURIA AUSSIA CHINA. Old Enough to Know Better. Old Enough to Know Better. intimation he had of anything wrong was when the drivers suddenly began bumping the ties. He hastily closed the throttle an dreversed the lever. The engine and cars plowed over the ties at least fifteen feet, and the extraordinary strain put on the bridge caused the structure to collapse. Members of the train crew were dispatched to Fowler to notify the Santa Fe offices of the accident and relief trains were sent to the scene as quickly as possible from both Pueblo and La Junta. When these trains arrived at the creek all the injured had been removed from the wreckage. The cars were not badly broken up and the passengers in them had escaped with bruises, sprains and cuts. After their wounds had been dressed, they were piloted across the dry bed of the creek and, with the passengers who were injured, were taken to La Junta in a special train. Engineer Walker and others who were seriously injured were placed in the Santa Fe hospital there and the remainder resumed their eastward journey, with the exception of some women who were suffering from the shock to their nerves. The extent of the disaster can be judged from the fact that the wreckage Hot Student Battle CRAWFORDSVILLE, I N D. — (Special.) Three students received serious injuries and many others were bruised in the first Wabash college class fight between sophomores and freshmen. The seriously hurt are: Arthur B. Stone,"Goshen, Ind., ankle broken. Arthur Klein, Elkhart, Ind., three ribs broken. W. O. Davis, Crawfordsville, kneecap dislocated. The battle waged fiercely for an hour. There were over 100 students in the melee, which took place on the campus. cannot be cleared away and the bridge repaired before Saturday evening. Meantime, trains to and from Denver will be run via Trinidad. The damage is estimated at $18,000. An investigation showed plainly that the spikes had been pulled from three rails. But for the accident of a hot box on the express car, a large amount of money would have been in the safe on the wrecked train, and this, it is believed, was the plunder the desperadoes hoped to secure. Vallises were rifled by the robbers during the excitement following the wreck. The express car, in which, according to report, money was being transported, was left in Colorado Springs last night for a later train. The bridge was inspected last week and was found to be in good condition and the track of eighty-five pound steel was relaid about a year ago. A man giving the name of John Duffy was arrested here Friday night in compliance with a telegram from Secret Agent Rheil, of the Santa Fe company, now at the wreck. A subsequent request was made for the arrest of all suspicious characters for investigation, and this is being carried out. END OF A GROCERY TRUST. Scheme to Run Many Retail Stores Has Failed. PEORIA, ILL.—(Special.) H. W. McQuaid, a prominent grocer of Des Molnes, and interested in a number of other grocery stores, has announced the end of the Consolidated Grocers of America, which was organized last February with $1,500,000 capital, and which it was proposed should control the leading retail groceries of the country. It was organized by Flavel Shurtleff, a retail grocer of Peoria, and N. Kawlin, of Chicago. Two Peoria stores were secured, and afterward four in Chicago, one in Galesburg, and the store of W. V. McQuaid, of St. Paul. Later H. W. McQuaid, of Des Molnes, obtained an interest, and Mr. Shurtleff dropped out. One of the Peoria stores closed last Saturday, and Mr. McQuaid says the other will close soon. The closing of the stores in Chicago and Galesburg will follow, but the McQualds will continue the Des Molnes and St. Paul stores.

WAITED IN AMBUSH FOR THE OFFICERS Waited in Ambush for the Posse— Several of the Indians and Four Officers Said to Have Been Wounded—The Slaughter of Game Caused the Trouble—Indians Escaped. CHEYENNE, WYO.—(Special.) A fierce battle is reported to have been fought Saturday afternoon on Little Lightning creek near its junction with the Cheyenne river, forty-five miles north of Lusk in Eastern Wyoming, between Sheriff Miller of Weston county with a posse of six men and a band of Crow Indians under Charlie Car-Elk. Sheriff Miller is mortally wounded, Deputy Falkenburg is dead and three other deputies are wounded. Three of the Indians were killed and several wounded. The Indians who escaped the bullets of the officers made haste toward the Bad Lands of South Dakota, carrying their dead and wounded with them. Posses were started out from Lusk and Newcastle, the county seat of Weston county, and an effort will be hade to head off the murderous reds before they reach the Bad Lands. Once in that section they will be difficult to capture and can easily make their way back to the Pine Ridge agency, where the officers would experience much trouble in identifying the guilty ones. A serious outbreak among the Sioux is threatened because of the restrictions placed upon their hunting privileges, and it is feared that if the authorities capture the band of Indians that killed Deputy Falkenburg and attempt to prosecute them there will be a general uprising. No troops have been ordered out or instructed to get ready to take the field, for the reports of the battle on Lightning creek give only meager details, and the authorities are waiting for further information and a confirmation of the first reports. Governor Chatterton this evening received telegrams from the north asking that troops be called into the field to head off the Indians, and if the trouble is as serious as reported he will order out a company from either Newcastle, Douglas or Buffalo. The trouble had its inception in the ruthless slaughter of wild game by the Indians. Ranchmen also reported that the redskins had been killing cattle. Sheriff Miller left Newcastle nine days ago and arrested a portion of the band and they were taken to Newcastle, the Sheriff and six men continuing on after the others who tried to escape. Te Indians were overtaken on Lightning creek. For several years the Crows, Araphoes, Sioux and Shoshones have journeyed back and forth in the fall of the year between the Sioux reservation at Pine Ridge and the Wind river reservation in Central Wyoming and the Crow reservation in Southern Montana. They always left a trail of carcasses of antelope, deer and other wild game and the authorities have made repeated efforts to put a stop to the slaughter. This year the Indians have been more open than common and have defied the officers. The Indians were trailed to near the head of Beaver creek, where they had camped. All of the men, save a few old bucks, were out on the plains hunting game, and the camp was in charge of those who were preparing the skins and meat for future use. Sheriff Miller took possession of the camp, loaded the equipment on five wagons and sent the outfit back to Newcastle in charge of Lieutenant Hilton. In company with Deputies James Davis, D. O. Johnson, R. B. Hackney and Fred Howell, the sheriff next day set out on the trail of the party of Indians. It is not known where the chase led, but the Indians had evidently received warning of the approach of the officers and attempted to get out of the country. It is not known whether an ambushc was laid for the officers on Lightning creek, the scene of the battle, or whether the Indians resisted the officers after the warrants were read to them, but the meager details indicate the former. The first news of the battle were brought to a ranch south of Lightning creek and the ranchmen went at once to Lusk and gave the alarm. TRESTLE GAVE WAY. Southern Pacific Passenger Train Wrecked in California. TEHAMA, CAL—(Special.) The first section of the Southern Pacific passenger train No. 15 was wrecked near here Sunday morning. While crossing a trestle about half a mile east of Tehama the trestle gave way. The tender broke loose from the engine and toppled over the trestle, carrying with it two mail cars and a car of scenery belonging to a "Florodora" company. The cars took fire and were entirely consumed. About 100 feet of trestle was burned and wreckage of all kinds is strewn along the trestle for a distance of a quarter of a mile. Fireman Morris jumped from his engine and died shortly after from the injuries sustained. Engineer Bow sheet, who remained at his post, escaped uninjured.

Dr. Limes is particularly emphatic in his statement, and there does not now seem to be any room for doubt as to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and nothing else, saved the little boy. He was so bad that he had Epileptic spells which seized him with increasing frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the right side, and his mind was badly affected. In their sworn statement, Mr. and Mrs. McBride say: "The very day we began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven of these Epileptic spells or fits. In less than a week he ceased having them entirely." The case has caused a great sensation in the neighborhood. The sworn statements have confirmed the whole story.
