IKE SPARROWS AND RAVENS Kansas City Sect That Gets All It Wants From God. There is a colony of fifty people out a Eleventh and Troost avenue known the Gospel Union. The head of the jlony is a Mr, Perry, formerly cashier a bank in Abilene, Kansas. The olony live on faith. That is sey pray for what they ant and it always comes. Mr. erry said to the reporter: " We really epeud on the Lord for all that we eat, rink, and wear. We never know on ae day just what we are to have on le next, but we do not worry, for we e certain that He will provide. " '•You have plenty to eat, then?" Mve not only have all that we need sustain life, but we have a great any little extras that make it pleas lt. Of course we live plainly. We ould do that even if \Ve had plenty money at our command. Sometime o a report got about that seemed to nvey the impression that about all e haye on our tables i8 bread and pies. That is not true by any leans. Understand me, we should t complain at all if we were com lled to subsist on bread and apples, nor, indeed, if we were left without food. The only reasons, therefore, that we have for objecting to such state ments is that the Lord has provided for us and we wish to acknowledge it and give Him the credit fur it." "All your contributions are volun tary?" "Entirely so. They all come from people who believe we are doing the Lord's work and who are prompted by Him to help us. We never take up any collections, nor ask for any dona tiOU8." "Does the money alwavs come to you when you need it?" "Yes, and what may seem strange to you, it always comes in the amounts we need. 1 remember one day, some time ago, I received $12 Our gas bill was due. That was 88,85. I paid it and had ©3.13 left. Our water bill was due on the same day, but I did not know the amount ftf it. I put the $3.15 in an envelope for the purpose of paying at least a part of the water bill. When I went down to pay the bill, what do you suppose it was? Exactly $3.15. You see, we hud rec eived exactly what we needed for that day and no more." "That was certainly a strange coinci dence." "There was no coincidence about it," said Mr. Perry, " the Lord knew how much we needed, even though I did not and lie sent it to us. "At another tim» one of our mission aries m a foreign country had spent everything he had with the exception of 5 Cents. Dinner time came and he had nothing with'which to buy food. His faith remained,however. Present ly the letter carrier came to him with a letter which he had neglected to de liver when he had been to the house earlier in the day. That letter contain ed the remittance which the missionary so sadly needed.—Kansas City Times, ALL HAIL, HAWAII! The treaty for the annexation of Hawaii has beeu signed and will un doubtedly be ratified by the Senate. The Introduction of the Hawaiian Is lands into our American political sys tem is therefore assured. Thus will be accomplished a scheme of annex ation which was made à conspicuous feature of Democratic policy long ago, and would already have been carried out if it had not been for the obstrue tion of the un-Democratic Cleveland Administration. Mr. Cleveland, with a perversity and a defiance of Demo cratic tradition which exceeded even the bounds of impudence, broke through the rule of continuity in our diplomatic policy, and withdrew from the Senate a treaty for the annexation of Hawaii framed by his predecessor. Ile withdrew it in order to bring a bout the overthrow of the Hawaiian republic and to restore to her barbarous throne a monstrous queen! It was an episode in our history which would have been wholly infamous if it had not also been ludicrous. Truer Americanism now dominates the White House, and the day approaches when with joyful and proud acclaim we shall welcome Hawaii as an out post of American power and civilation in the Pacific. All hail, Hawaii! All honor to President McKinley!— New York Sun. THE WEEK. The retarding influence of cold and unseasonable weather has passed. The gain in business which in spite of It was seen a week ago has become clear er to all. As no genuine improve ment ever begins with an uplifting of prices before the producing force has become fairly employed, this does not, and the buyii g of 7,000 bales of Aus tralian wool by one Bcstoa house, and 100,003 tons pig iron by a Wall street operator, and advancing prices for stocks, are only proof that the actual conditions .are understood by some c ipable men. There is evidence of gradually enlarging business iu every important department, more establishments have been set to work and more hands employed, and while prudence still hinders specula tive excesses the progress toward bet ter things is unchecked. Reports from the various cities this week show a very general progress, and a con tinuing large distribution through re tail trade.—Dun's Review. THE CITY COUNCIL. Fnnk J.

A Blue Line train was making a blue streak through the New Jersey air, with the cowcatcher of the locomotive pointed toward New York city and a drummer was talking right along ahead of it as easy as a bird flies. "I want to say to you, gentlemen," he was saying, "that Thomas Edison is the greatest inventor in the world, not only in the qnantity of his inventions but in the quality of them, and every new thing he turns out he gets a patent on it before it is dry. Sensible man is Tom, and a great snap is-a patent when the monoply in it is yours gentlemen. I know what I'm talkiug about, for I had one once that was a loo-loo, only it wasn't big enough. But I'm getting away from my tale, as the dog remarked when he barely got his hind legs from under the car. wheels. I was in Edison's town the other day and heard a new story on him. New to me anyhow. Man over there that I sell guoUs to, and won 't lie except when the (tailing sea on is on. told me, as an illustration how absorbed Edison is in his business, that one day Mrs Edison came to her husband in great glee and announced that the baby had a tooth. "Very well, ir.y dear,' replied her husband, never stopping a minute from his work. 'I haven't got time to r>other with your affairs. You- just run along and get a patent on it, and have it charged to my account.' " JOY IN THE WEST. Eli Parkina Find« tha Country Onca Afflietad by Drought Now a Qardan of Edan. The East can prepare to rejoice. You would rejoice now if you could see the wonderful crop of corn and grain which is now waving over,a drought region which has'missed crops for two or three years. Copious rains have come all over the far West, from San Antonio up through the Texas Panhandle and on through Kansas and Nebraska to Dakota. Western Nebraska and Kansas are soaked with water ciear up to the Col orado border and the people are wild with joy. I have passed over this entire country. They have already harvested 30,000,000 bushels of wheat in western Texas, and now the reapers in southern and west ern Kansas are running in wheat fields loaded with grain. Everywhere, wheat corn, oats and rye could not look better. • ïood times are coming from the West to help McKinley in the East. For three years western Kansas and Nebraska have lost their crops. Ne bräska stood the drought frona Color ado to Lincoln for two years, and then parted with her hogs and cattle. Last year she had superb corn again, but no hogs or cattle to feed it to. Milos of corn bins line the railroads. Corn is sailing for 12 cents a bushel and not a hog in sight. They are waiting for the pigs to grow. By fall the pigs will be here and then twe crops of corn will be turned into pork. The railroads which will profit by this wonderful crop are George Gould's Missouri Pacific, the Chicago, Burling ton, and Quincy. Santa Fe, Rock Island, and Union Pacific. The St. Paul and Northwestern are wheat roads, and their crops in Dakota and Minnesota look fine. The reason sugar is going all over California is because beets do not freeze in the winter there, and they can use less machinery and feed out all the beets to stock after the sugar has been extracted. In Nebraska the beets have to be harvested and treated before the frost comes. Ten thousand dollars' wroth of machinery in California will manufacture as much sugar as 850,000 worth will in Nebraska. Still Nebraska is doubling her acreage of beets and chicory. There is one chicory farm at O'Neil, Neb., covering 2,500 acres. The old McKinley bill put 2 cents a pourd duty on manufactured chicory and let raw chicory come in free. This policy brought twenty seven chicory factories from France and Belgium to America. The Wilson bill took off that tariff and the twenty-seyen McKinley chicory factories closed down and our money went to Europe for chicory again. The new Dingley bill puts cents on manufactured chicory, 1 cent on raw. This tariff will bring back the factories again, and chicory will take the place of much wheat land in this country. The free-silver craze in Kansas and Nebraska is wearing out. They all say that Clevelaud hard times, the stopping of factories in the East and bad crops in the West, drove them to silverism. When they were drowning they caught hold of anything. The prosperity which the big crops will bring to the West will make rail roads pay dividends, set the 80,000 idle railroad men west of the Mississippi to work, make the farmer rich and happy, and kill Bryan's silverism as prosperity once killed Weaver's green back craze.

Joseph Perrault Reports an Important Chicago Mofement. JUDGE CLAGGET TALKS OF IDAHO. Prosperity Spreading Out Over tl • West—Good Crops Lots of Corn and Growing Hics-Ell Says its (JeLtliig There All Right. The Statesman says: "Joseph Per rault has returned from his eastern trip. Ile has not brought any news concerning the distribution of federal patronage in Idaho but he does nar rate a very interesting atory of a colony enterprise he learned of while in Chicago. "Through J. E. Rounsevelle Mr. Per rault was introduced to William C. Pomeroy, one of the foremost labor leaders of that city. Mr. Pomeroy is engaged in an effort to found a colony in soute western state and he wished to see iïr. Perrault to learn from him of the advantages offered by Idaho. A meeting waa arranged fpr last Tuesday and Mr. Perrault enlisted the assist ance of Judge Clagett iu presenting the subject to those assembled. Mr. Rounsvelle also attended. There were two or three hundred leaders or various organizations present. "Judge Clagett made a most interest ing address, explaining in detail the SDecial advantages of this section. His talk made a great impression upon the minds of the audience. He was fol lowed by Mr. Perrault, who supple mented the judge's statements with more detailed information upon some points. Mr. Pomeroy was anxious to learn everything of a practical charac ter about Idaho, aLd the ground was very fully covered by the two ad dresses. "As a result of the meeting the lead ers of the colony movement stated they would send a committee here to look over the lield. The purpose is to colon ize a nuniberof working men's families on a plan that is very similar to that of the New Plymouth Colony. Men holding positions will pay regular monthly sums to get the colony started. The land is to be held in 20-acre plots and there is to be a central townsite where the home of all the colonists will be establised. It is desired to secure a tract four miles 3quar9. California was originally selected as the state where the colony should be located but. the prices of land there were found to be too high." KILLED BY A FALLING TREE. The Mai ad Enterprise, Weston, cor respondent reports the following; Avery distressing accident happened to a young man living north of \Ves ton last Thursday. Mr. John Dees and his son William of Dayton, went up Cottonwood after logs. In hunt ing after suitable trees they found one that had lodged in another. The young man suggested they cut one down and secure both. Mr. Dees thought it very dangerous and said so; but tne expostulations William pre vailed over the better judgment of the father and they set to work. When the standing tree was nearly chopped off, Mr. Dees told his sou ti> a safe distance. The father continued cutting until the tree began falling when he ran out of the way. Upon returning to luok for the boy he could not be seen; later he was found under the tree dead: a broken limb having struck him in the back of the head, and penetrating the brain. Mr. Dees had to go ten miles to the mill for as sistance. He was brought home to his heart broken mother aud buried at Weston Friday evening. FACTORY BUILDING; The people of Union, Oregon are building a woolen factory and Mont pelier, Idaho, has just put in operation a starch factory. This is the effect of protection to American industries.
