FIRST BOOK EAST OF WINDSOR HOTEL. The Sunday Scool convention, which convened hore last Saturday and Sunday was one of the most successful ever held in the state. Every delegate in attend-ence was ready and willing to do his or her part, and the programme, with one or two minor exceptions, was carried out as advertised. The papers read and addresses delivered denoted that the heart and soul of each was in this good work and stood ready to do all that they could to further the interest in the S. S.

work. Especially do we hear words of praise for the address of Eev. Keddow on "The Consecration of Teaeherp," and and for 1 he song sei vice of Prof. O. E.

A short time ago a poor man iu that city, who ekes out a scanty living for himself ami family by driving a ten-cent delivery wagon, had the misfortune to lose his wife by death. Xot having money enough with which to givt- her a christian burial he went to a money lender to borrow S5 for fifteen days. Yes, he could have it by giving hi in 83 interest and a mortgage on his pony and wagon to secure it.

Three days after the poor man received some money from friends and he thought he would pay oil' his note. The money lender said lit; could be released if he would pay 1.50 for the use of the mon ey tin' three days. Iu comparison with this instance Shj lock and his pound of flesh pah into insignificance. Yet this same money lender belongs to and is an active worker in one of the most popular churches in the city of Topeka. How deplorable that such sharks, or human hyenas are permitted to enter the church and through its protecting mantle lie allowed to practice a system of highway robbery that the most contemptible thief in the world would not be guilt- of.

The interest manifested in this grand, noble work by the ministry aud other Sabbath school workers of this city is an unmistakable sign that Ilorton and Horton's people are prominent in Christain work. The Register is pleased with the good this great convention has accomplished. The railroad boys are on the jump all the time now. As we were coming from Willis the other evening about dusk we met the street car about half way between here and Willis, we asked what it was doing away out there and were informed that the track layers had been hard at work all day to keep up with the advance of building in the Kansas City Addition.

Sunday morning there was considera ble excitement over the rumor that one Joseph Beckman, a tailor, had suicided in the city jail. The rumor soon was eon- firmed and a large crowd soon assembled to see what was to be seen, and learn the cause of the rash deed.

The deceased was hanging from one of the windows, having taken ofF his under wear and made a rope of them, tying one end to the window and the other round his neck, and slipped off' the bed on which it was supposed he was standing. Dr. Helper, the coroner, was the first person to approach the body and when cut down was still warm, but a thorough examination soon evinced the fact that life was extinct. A jury was impanaled and after hearing such evidence as could be gotten at that body returned a ver dict that "the deceased came to his death by his own hand." The man had written several letters before he launched himself into eternity and through the kindness of Coroner nelper we are en abled to give to the public such letters as bear upon the case Mr. Morris Please give this to Mrs.

We are informed that the great hotel to be built at Ilorton which was to have been let to the lowest bidder over month ago. and which was to ba let last Monday, certain, has not been contract ed for vet.

We sincerely trust the gentlemen Messrs. Ricksecker Wirt, who have this matter in hand, will take some act ion to stop such comments as the above, Not long since a bus driver had to "apologize" for the unfinished condition of the "Grand" to a traveling man who desired to be driven a son of the Emerald Isle who was hunting for the man "who owned the rock quarry" had to be appeased, Such dilatory actions are not in keeping with Horton's boom spirit. Later Since writing the above the contract for building the "Grand" has been let to E. S. Malone.

He is one of Horton's best contractors and builders and will give a good account of himself in this work. Mr. Malone takes $500 stock in the company. A New York store advertises as the newest thing out in "patent cliil dren's knee pads." The history of the pads is interesting. A northern New Hampshire woman, with boy who would go through the knees of their knickerbockers and stockings faster than 6he could mend them, in a moment of inspiration fitted some soft leather smoothlj' over the knees of her two boys.

A summer visitor saw the scheme and adopted it for her boys, and so the pads went out into the world, and now somebody has patented the Sew IIamishire woman's idea and is making money out of it.
