This church was well known throughout the country and its popular pastor, Rev. George McNeal, who had been its faithful leader for more than twenty-five years. It is not known how it caught on fire, but those who live near the church say they heard a loud explosion just before it was discovered to be on fire. The pastor stated to a reporter this week that going to difficulties in getting insurance companies to write a sufficient quotation on this church and also other property in this locality, only a small amount was carried and that was on the pews principally. The sympathy of a host of people go out to Rev. McNeal and his hard-working congregation in their loss and having to be without a church home. This congregation will worship for the time being in the Diggs hall, 314 Nebraska avenue. Rev. McNeal is making arrangements as rapidly as he can to start erecting another building and those who know his ability as a church builder and his loyal congregation, it will not be long until they will be worshipping again under their own roof. The Advocate is at your service to help in any way to further the work of the house of God. The same evening the little church at the corner of Oakland and Fourth street, the Saints of God and the Church of Christ, was also destroyed by fire. It was a small frame building, where the C. M. E. church owned and worshipped for several years, now worshipping in their new church at the corner of Eighth and Oakland. ADMITS HE BURNED CHURCHES Negro Confesses Setting Fire to Buildings Destroyed Sunday. Charles Martin, a Negro; 220 North James street, confessed yesterday to Captain U. G. Snyder of the police force, to setting fire to the two Negro churches that were burned early Sunday morning. Martin had been arrested for petit larceny and after being questioned by Captain Snyder, broke down and told of burning the churches. The church at First street and --- --- From all indications this, the first Chautauqua undertaken by the Federated Churches of the two cities,will be one of nation-wide reputation, as to the good accomplished to our citizenry. One will only have to read the eleven days' program on the front page of this paper to come to such a conclusion. Every night and including the two big Sunday afternoon meetnigs will be full of rich and helpful things to any who may attend. To get the full and complete essence of the entire course you should not miss one night. The big white-tent will accommodate five thousand and from the first night's crowd, it will be filled every evening. The chorus of 500 trained voices under the management of that only Choir Conductor, Prof, R. G. Jackson, is beyond describing—it simply is a musical wonder.

This clearly demonstrates his physical fitness for the efficient performance of duty, should the department feel warranted in availing itself of his services in the war. Splitlog avenue was burned, he said, because some member of the congregation had alienated his wife's affections, causing their separation. The other church, at Fourth street and Oakland avenue, Martin said was burned by him because the pastor had him arrested for disturbing the peace, following a quarrel with a member of the congregation who was friendly with his wife. Both churches were thoroughly saturated with gasoline before the match was applied, Martin said. This accounts, members of the fire department say, for the supposed explosion that accompanied the burning of the church at Fourth and Oakland avenue, when it was reported that dynamite was used. "The churches were both destroyed at a loss of about $6,000. Martin will be turned over to the state fire warden for prosecution. Bishop Lee's 50th Anniversary Bishop B. F.

P. gave a band concert Sunday afternoon, July 14th, complimentary to the students who are being trained at W. U. by the government, on the campus in front of Ward Hall. Many hundreds of Kansas Citians accompanied the band and in addition to the citizens of the local community covered the grounds in appreciation of the great mission for which these men have been gathered together for. The band, under the direction of Sergeant Wm. E. Cooper, rendered a charming and highly pleasing concert, including numbers written by the world's greatest musicians. The program began with that patriotic march, "Stars and Stripes Forever," fro mthe pen of Sousa, the World's march king. It was followed by selections from Mozart and other popular writers. The closing number was the "Star Spangled Banner," the most inspiring number of the program, as it brings us to remembering that our land and our country is engaged in a great contest to prove that democracy for the wide world is the proper relations between man and man. Captain Dougherty, commanding officer of the detachment, and Lieutenant Cummins were seated in the foreground and also Mrs. Dougherty, as guests of honor. After the program was concluded the entire detachment fell in and under the command of Captain Dougherty, gave the large gathering of citizens an exhibition of their work on drill grounds. The company was brought to a company front and while standing at attention Mr. Nelson Crews, a moving, prominent figure in civic life, made a short ad- BUST THE STATE HOUSE SURANCE DYNASTY. If a Kansas governor should seek to establish a dynasty in the state house at Topeka, the voters would rise up and swat it hip and thigh. No executive has ever attempted to dictate his successor by incubating and hatching out in his office the candidate who is to succeed him. The voters of Kansas wouldn't stand for it a minute. And yet they have stood for this very thing in the Kansas insurance department for sixteen years. Why should a superintendent of insurance be permitted to dictate his successor? Why should the people permit this dynasty? They cry out against the extortionate rates of the insurance trust and wonder why they are not curbed. The reason is plain, and here it is: Sixteen years ago the insurance dynasty was installed in the state house at Topeka. Charles H. Luling names Charles W. Barnes as his assistant, who, at the end of Luling's four years, succeeded to the head of the department. Then Barnes, at the close of his four years, carried out the plan of the insurance dynasty and shoved Ike Lewis, his assistant, up to the top. Lewis, being a beneficiary of the dynasty, dictated his successor, Carey J. Wilson, who had been incubated and hatched through the "assistant" route. And now as Wilson is finishing up his second term he has picked his successor, naming W. J. Bryden, who has been a clerk in the insurance department ten or a dozen years. Can this record or the perpetuation of a job-holding dynasty be beaten in any other state in the Union Can it? We leave it to you, Mr. Voter. It's high time to bust up this dynasty and take a look at the books in the Kansas insurance department. Every business man, every farmer and every home-owner who has paid tribute to the greed-of the insurance trust would be glad, certainly, to see the books opened and an accounting made of the work of the dynasty. This can't be done by perpetuating the dynasty. You've got to bust it. The nomination and election of Chas. W. Dingman of Clay Center, as superintendent of insurance, will guarantee that the books will be opened UB. NO.1. Program nt Band ive. Concert diers at W. U. dress to the captain and his company and to the citizens, testifying to the popular sentiment that predominated in the hearts of a people loyal to the uttermost in their country. He said in part: "Today we are gathered at this place to pay our respects to a company of men that are being prepared to go forth in the world to fight for the grandest country in the history of man. The institutions and rights of every citizen being jealously guarded and perpetuated in this great conflict to bring democracy to the world. This cannot be achieved until the colored soldier has come forth and taken his place in the conflict once again adding to the laurels that has ever adorned men of this race as being brave and faithful soldiers. "We commend you, sir captain, for the great interest shown in the welfare of your men by you and your staff and we, the citizens, are proud of you. We people of Kansas City have come this day at a great expense to entertain and encourage you. We are proud of you and feel confident that you are capable to lead our boys and will find in them faithful followers in this time of peril to our cherished country." After the closing number the time was spent in visiting another highly enjoyable feature and restored the boys in spirit. In behalf of the company, will say that it was one of the most enjoyable afternoons witnessed while in training and wish to thank the band and those who were instrumental in furnishing the entertainment and the many citizens for their presence. SAMUEL M. JONES. and all cards spread face up on the table. Mr. Dingman has promised to administer that department in the interest of the people, and his word is as good as the bond of any man in Kansas. "Bust the state house insurance dynasty" is a good slogan. —Marshall County-News.

Drafted Boys Get Big Reception Wednesday evening the Sunday school of First A.M.E. church give delightful reception a tine parsonage to the fifteen drafters that leave today out of this church.

It was a refreshing, souluplifting subject, and splendidly enjoyed by the congregation. Mrs. Ida Becks of Second Baptist church, was present and talked after the sermon upon the plan she has in mind for taking care of incorrigible girls. Her talk was very touching and convincing, so much so, in fact, that her hearers gave her $13.80.

He also praised the church and especially the pipe organ and touch of the organist. Said, "he was delighted to be where he could listen to the organ strains and anthems of the choir."

Miss Pirdie Clark, who stops at Attorney and Mrs. D. Greene's, made a flying trip to Lawrence this week. More than 500 special copies of last week's Advocate were called for.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE LIFE FOR THE WICKS SLAYERS Negro Fiend Who Murdered Parson Family Rushed To Penitentiary To Avoid a Lynching. At midnight recently, in the court house at Oswego the last chapter in the Wick murder case, which stirred Kansas, was written. John H. Winfield, negro, who confessed to the triple murder, had been brought from the state penitentiary at Lansing, where he had been taken for safe keeping. That his coming could not be foretold through the absence of Labette County officers, Winfield was brought down by Bob Frazier of Cherokee County. Taken before a justice of the peace he was arraigned and waived preliminary hearing and benefit of counsel. Immediately taken to the district court, in special session, he pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to state prison for life. Sheriff Elam of Labette County and Sheriff Frazier of Cherokee took him after the court pronounced sentence and drove out into the night without waiting a moment. He was not in the county more than thirty minutes. The route of the party is not known definitely, as every precaution was taken to keep it secret. After Winfield was arrested, June 1, he confessed and was taken to Lansing to avoid 'mob violence. Since that time there has been an organization in Parsons waiting for him to be brought back to the county for trial, when he would be lynched. The officers lulled this watchfulness into a belief that Winfield would not be brought back for several weeks yet. Had the negro murderer of Mrs. Wick and her two children November 13 last been detained here until news of his presence was known his lynching would have been certain. ```markdown ``` Strict surveillance will be kept by the state banking department upon Kansas bankers especially officials in one bank town to see that every effort is made to keep up activities in support of the war. Walter E. Wilson, state bank commissioner, stated that so-called "pro-Germanism" in many cases was in reality "pro-dollar" proganda and that the "almighty dollar" assumed such a size in the eyes of some persons that it hid the viciousness of the kaiser and the needs of the boys now fighting for America. The bank commissioner will co-operate with the council of defense in the round-up of any slackers in the financial business of the state. Five enemy allens from Kansas, declared guilty of pro-Germanism, were taken to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., recently by deputy United States marshals, where they have been ordered interned for the duration of the war. The most prominent among them probably is Dr. Herman Phillip, a physician of Wichita, who was arrested some time ago following charges he expressed pleasure over the death of Lord Kitchener and the sinking of the Lusitania. Doctor Phillip is reputed wealthy and operated a sanitarium in Wichita. Hugo Bohe of Kensington, said to have been a butcher on the famous German liner Kron Prinz Wilhelm, since seized by the United States and now being operated as a transport. Bohe admitted that after the declaration of war he was assigned to a German raider. Later he escaped and came to this country and settled in Kensington. Carl Nelnke, former wagon maker of Ellsworth, said to have discouraged sale of government bonds. In addition, he is charged with having permitted his shop to become a gathering place for Germans from the country side. Herman S. Seeldendorf of Newton, declared to have said, "America could never win and that Germany could not be defeated." Thomas Agosti, an Austrian, formerly in the employ of Armour. & Co., charged with having remarked "he never wanted to become a citizen of this damned country." The five enemy allens have been held in the Wyandotte County jail during the period their cases were being submitted to the United States Attorney General. L. L. Kiene, chairman of the First District draft appeal board, returned today from Pottawatomie County with recommendations of changes in classification for forty registrants from that county. About twenty-five of these will be put into Class 1 by the new classification, following an investigation into the individual cases. In a trip through Pottawatomie County last week a reporter for The Star found many complaints of improper classifications of registrants under the Draft Law. Some Pottawatomie County residents were quite indignant at the reports printed about disloyalty and slackers in that county. The facts gathered were laid before the district appeal board and the investigation of the cases was made. As a result Pottawatomie County will have about twenty-five additional members of Class 1 shortly, subject to call into the next draft. Several cases were found where men had been given deferred classification for farming the same piece of land and the land in some cases was not very large. A few men were found to be improperly placed in Class 1 and will be given deferred classification.

THE HOME DRUG CO. 1512 North Fifth Street CARS AND CAMELS IN DESERT Both Methods of Conveyance Employed in Land Where Railways Are an Impossibility. I have motored in the Egyptian desert from eight or ten different places and I heard the same thing everywhere: "Cars and camels for this job." The car for, the dash and rush to get there before anyone can hear you are moving; the camel, the old ship of the desert, for the slow and sure, time immemorial method, writes a correspondent of the London Telegraph. Both go where the railway is not and never will be; both play their different parts with almost unerring certainty. So perfect and reliable has the car supply service become that the vehicles move to a time table, and at one spot I have seen two convoys which started 90 miles apart meet to exchange loads at the exact moment fixed by the conductor. The cars run over thousands of miles of the roughest desert. Water is as essential as petrol, and in a waterless area extreme care has to be taken against running short. It occasionally happens that cars get stuck, and they are freed by shoveling away the sand and laying down short lengths of planks beneath the wheels. Planks and stout ropes for towing form part of each car's equipment. The light cars are mostly American make. They, too, have done well, but the wear and tear is infinitely greater than in British cars, and as one machine-wears out the best parts are transferred to motors 'beginning to show signs of failure. BIG MAN'S ACT OF KINDNESS Little Incident Recorded of James J. Hill Shows Great Constructive Genius at His Best. James J. Hill was a large and familiar figure in American business life, and there have been printed plenty of eulogies of his great constructive genius. But no more genuine eulogy has ever been pronounced than is contained in a little story from St. Paul. It was a simple incident—one of the sort that generally and naturally passes unrecorded, says the Chicago Herald in recalling it. Mr. Hill was coming out of an office building with another railroad official when he noticed a horse standing shivering and unblanketed near by. He walked over and arranged the blanket and then resumed his conversation. It is a very good thing to be a great railroad builder and a financial figure whose word carries weight not only all over the country, but throughout the world. But it is better to be able to retain in the midst of such important occupation the human kindness which makes a whole world kn. George Eliggleman of Ogden was killed recently at Army City when the truck he was driving was hit by an eastbound Union Pacific troop train. Eliggleman was 24 years old, unmarried and had lived at Ogden for several years. He was accompanied by Ray Sommers, 30 years old, of Wamego, who was seriously injured and who is not expected to recover. Sommers is being cared for at the base hospital at Fort Riley. He has a wife, a daughter and parents living at Wamego. The men on the truck had been watching the crossing of a slow moving westbound freight train and did not see the approaching troop train.

When I am old I will observe the following items (perhaps): I will not try to act nor dress nor talk so as to make people think I am younger than I am. I will not pretend to be young, nor be angry when called old, nor ashamed of my age. I will not complain of being old. I will not continually remind people of my old age to secure their sympathy, or to hear them say I am not old after all, or do not seem so. I will not form the habit of indulging in reminiscences. I will be particularly careful not to repeat the same anecdotes over and over. I will not complain of the present and claim the past was much better. If I am deaf, weak-eyed, lame or otherwise afflicted I will not advertise my infirmities, but avoid obtruding them upon the notice of others as much as possible. I will not talk of myself, my works, or my achievements, even of my mistakes, any more than is necessary. I will speak cheerfully or keep still. I will never indulge in cynicism, never sneer at youth, and I will try always to appreciate what younger folks do. I will be as little bored as I can, and never say I am bored, nor, if possible, act as I were bored. I will not give advice unless it is asked, and not often then. I will not be irritable. I will not be a nuisance nor an encumbrance, so far as in me lies. I will not be offended by neglect, but I will remember the words of the sage: "Those who come to see me do me honor; those who do not come to see me do me a favor." I will be as little, disagreeable as possible, and will never use my natural disagreeableness as a means of getting m. way. I will cultivate the friendship and companionship of young children, who alone understand old age. I will learn, to love to be alone. As Ibsen says: "The freest soul is the soul that is alone." I shall try to show the world that old age is spiritual opportunity and not physical calamity. Forced to become a by-stander, I shall try to be a hopeful one. I shall try to sweeten like the pear Doctor Holmes describes that mellows and becomes full flavored before it drops from the stem, and shall try not to sour and dry and rot. I shall conceive my life's triumph to be to grow triumphantly, victoriously old. In a word, I shall try to adjust myself to old age, as to all other facts of life.—Life. Lucky Photographer. It is not always that things turn out so happily for the rash person who ventures to take snapshots on the east coast of England, as they did in the case of a young lady in the following story: She was seen photographing on a point of the coast, and was promptly approached by a special, who informed her of the enormity of her offense, took her name and address, and removed her camera. She heard nothing more of the matter for some time, but one morning she was amazed at receiving a check running into three figures, and a letter from headquarters informing her that her photographs were not only very good, but resulted in the capture of an enemy submarine. Confidence in the Cause. Confidence in the Cause. The champion optimist of America is private B----, now on active duty with his regiment somewhere in France. The regiment, after a turn in the trenches, was whiling away its time in a rest camp, and the officers were seeking to get the men to use some of their spare minutes in the study of French. The men did not take very kindly to the idea, and one of the officers sought to chide them for their lack of interest. Private B---- cut him off with the following query: "What in h---- do I want to learn French for? They don't speak that in Berlin, do they?" Pickling Olives. A new method of pickling ripe olives which, it is claimed, will increase the capacities of the factories over 200 per cent has been discovered by the University of California. Heretofore it has taken 15 days to pickle ripe olives. By this new method it can be done in six days or less. The process is a result of four years of experiments. * His Opinion.
