A SENSATIONAL TURN GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT IT WAS HAPPY AFFAIR WILL DISINFECT PARIS only that but the reverend gentleman in charge of the gavel assigned him the near impossible task of doing justice to the subject, "The Ladies." Mr. Gibbons, however, was equal to the occasion and his address could not in any sense be termed "dry." With the printed program exhausted the toastmaster served notice that several in the assembly would 'be called on for impromptu talks. They were notified to prepare while Ir, Lutz of Wichita recited. The doctor pleased his hearers and responded to an encore. Impromptu talkg were made by IH.

J. Powell, Mr. Casey of ICdffeyville, Many Turned Away From Revival at Christian Church Last Night. Because the officers of the church did not expect so large an attendance at last night's service, they failed to provide extra seating capacity, with the result that a great number who came to hear were unable to get into the building. Every available seat was occupied, a crowd of the boys locating along the edge of the speaker's platform.

The Bible school annex will at once be seated, to provide more room. The morning sermon was from the theme, "The New Creature." It was an exaltation of the christian life and a eulogy of the church. Mr. Druni- mond said in part: "It is a great thing to become a new creature. It is a great thing to be a christian.

The highest type of man in America is the genuine christian citizen, one who prays and lives as he prays, and votes as he prays. The finest graces that adorn the world's social and busines and political life, are christian graces. (Human freedom, popular education, government of the people, for the people and by the people, are christian graces, as are also the doctrine of the 'brotherhood of man and the practice of human helpfulness. The church of Jesus Christ is a divine institution in the world. Don't sneer at the church.

With all its faults, and weaknesses, and plague spots, it is still the most honorable body in the world. It is God's organized opposition to evil and the only such organization in existence. Mark that well. It is the only institution that stands for the teaching and practice of the good from an unselfish motive. It is the from an unselfish motive.

It is the self unreservedly to the task of labor and sacrifice to save the morally degraded and spiritually lost. (Missions if the proof of this. The church will plead with you to turn away from sin just for the sake of knowing you will save your own soul by so doing. The church will do its best to destroy the saloon that is damning your life, destroying your body and ruining your home and family, and then when the saloon has done its worst and left you a bleeding, besotted, helpless thing, writhing in throes of delirium on the verge of a (Christless grave, it will go down in the filth where you are and on bended knees pray God to stay death's hand until it can lift you up and nurse you back to health and bring you home to Christ, merely for the sake of knowing you are saved. 'It will plead and scold and threaten and beg to bring you to Chrsit in your strong manhood and -'when all fails and you go down near death unsaved, it will come and bend over your dying form and petition God to have mercy on you, and when you are dead it will forget your faults and try to remember at least one good trait of character that you possessed of which it can speak laying your body away to its long sleep.

It will gather your children in from the street and teach them of Jesus and of righteousness; but, if they will not come, and learn, it will ifollow them with prayers and tears into the street, into the saloon, into the brothel, into crime, behind prison walls and onto hangman's scaffolds, and at every opportunity and in every place it will work and suffer to save them all for the joy of saving. 'Don't sneer at the' church, but go to church and take your family to church, even though you be an unbeliever, if for no other reason than that you and yours may be placed in touch with the greatest force in the world for good, the institution which, right or'wrong, always stands for the elevation of human life and the salvation of human souls."

31. Upwards of 15 0 delegates met here today to attend a good roads conference having for its object the construction of a continuous highway Newton to the Colorado state line. Men are present from every county and nearly every township along the proposed route of the road. This movement had its inception in the Hutchinson News office. Several months ago, following the passage of the good roads laws by the last session of the Kansas legislature, this paper suggested a road of this kino and proposed a convention to stimulate action.

After weeks of discussion in the press of southwest Kansas the convention, which met today, was called. Under the Kansas good roads law, the actual construction of the road is made the business of the township boards, so township officers were es- pecially urged to be present. The rest of the delegates are made up of men appointed by the mayors of towns along the route, by chairmen of boards of county commissioners, by presidents of farmers' institutes and other farmers' organizations, and by presidents of automobile clubs. Each such chairman appointed three delegates. The plan is to have each township build a section of the road, these sections to be so conctructed as to meet end to end, thus completing a continuous unbroken highway from the eastern to the western terminus.

WThile Newton is the present eastern terminus and the Colorado line the proposed western terminus, the plan is eventually to extend the road eastward to Kansas City, by way of Emporia and thence either through Ottawa or up by way of Topeka and Lawrence, while Colorado is already making plans to carry the road on up the Arkansas river valley to Pueblo, and thence to Colorado Springs and Denver. Primarily the road is for the benefit of local travel, although it is believed that once built it will become a great highway for tourist travel by automobile. Another plan is to have connecting lateral roads and already several of these are projected. Wichita is planning an improved road from that city to Newton and to 'Hutchinson to connect with this road. A similar road is to be improved between Great Bend and St.

John, Greensburg and Kinsley and Jetmore and Dodge City. Sooner or later it is expected that this section of the state, at least, will be honeycombed with good roads as a result of this convention. The present convention will be addressed by J. Dodge of the national good roads dffice at 'Washington; 'by D. Ward King of King (Road Drag fame, and State Engineer Gearhart.

An executive committee will be appointed to direct the work and keep in touch with the actual builders the township boards. NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM.

By the Associated Press. Paris, Jan. 31. The situation at critical points along the river was ameliorated to considerable extent today, notably in the neighborhood St. Lazare Station.

Preparation has been perfected for cleansing and disinfecting the city. Official announcement of the fal of ther iver up to noon was two feet. The sidewalk in front of Lazare Station fell into the subway today, but no one was hurt. The small loss of life during the period of the flood is surprising. Exciting row boat chases after criminals on the outskirts of the city occurred during last night.

In several instances Apaches were fired upon by pursuers and three were shot dead. Two others were hanged from lamp pots as an example of the fate in store for those detected in acts of pillage and violence. River Falls Slowly. iParis, Jan. 30.

While the most iminent peril is past the fall of the Seine since yesterday morning ha? only measured fifteen and one-half inches. At this rate it would requin a 'ortnight for the river to reach its normal level. Fortunately, tidings from the flooded sections above Paris give hope of a more rapid subsidence after tomorrow. Late tonight the of the iSeine had a very noticeable effect in several of the streets, which are no longer navigable. On the other hand, the rising of the water is the sewers continued.

There is a considerable quantity of water now in the molding chamber of the Louvre museum. In the ninth arrondissement, a series of powerful pumps was installed to remove the water from several banks, but the residents of that sec tion, who feared that this would makQ V7 conditions in their own cellars worse, gathered in force and slashed the hose with knives. They were finally driven off by the police. The situation at the inundated towns 'between Paris and St. Germain was distinctly graver.

A stream of water twelve feet deep was rushing through Gennevillieres and Colombes making the work of rescue and succor more difficult even than yesterday. Several of the houses collapsed and many persons were taken off the roofs of their homes, where they had been clinging for days. Hundreds are reported without food or shelter, and all day an army of troops and civilians worked relentlessly in the ffooded territory, bringing succor to the distressed and distributing provisions boats to the thousands of victims surrounded by water, who refused to quit their houses. Within the city itself are great throngs of sightseers. The Champs Elysees, ordinarily a pathway of brilliant light, tonight had hand lanterns strung along the curbs.

The usually gay boulevards were wrapped in silence and darkness. The restaurants and cafes were reduced to dim candles and Venetian lamps. OTHERS IMPLICATED. Representative McLachlan Had Associates in Alaska Coal Venture. By th Associated Press.

ALL TRAIN IN DITCH Broken Rail Causes Wreck Near Brooks None Hurt Wreckage Cleared Away. What might have been a serious wreck "occurred on the Frisco Sunday evening a mile west of Brooks, about S.miies-west of this city. Passenger train No. 302 due in Cherryvale at 3:30, was coming up a steep grade and consequently traveling at- slow speed. To this is doubtless due the escape from injury of all trainmen and pasengers.

The engine struck a broken rail which let the locomotive down on the tie? and it went headlong into the ditch and save only with it the entire train the private car of H. W. Shsrpe, general superintendent of the Santa Fe. Locomotive, baggage car ar.d coaches were quite badly used up but no one was injured, whic-li seems almost a miracle. A plug from the yards here was sent to the scene of the wreck and the baggage and passengers transferred and continued to Monett.

(Baggage and passengers over the North division were sent on the iKnights of Columbus special which left Bun-day night at 11 o'clock. The wreckage was cleared away and 307 got through on schedule time this morning, about 10:45..
