The ladies who attended the First District Federation at Seneca, eay that bt. Benedicts, the Catholic church there, was one of the mott interesting places which they visited. The club ladies of Seneca gave an automobile ride out to the church which is seven miles from Seneca, as a feature of their entertainment. The edifice is the finest house of worship in Kansas and cost 135; 000. It is built of stone and the interior is extraordinarily beautiful.

A handsome imported painting of the Ascension, on canvas, fills the dome of the church, and the altars statues and other religious furnishings are most exquisite. The church has its own lighting and heating plant. Over 300 families belong to this parish and it is situated in a very wealthy community. St. Leo's church in Herton is considered as having a large congregation, but it has only one-fifth of the number of families which this one has.

Morton Headlight. A fc'ew Automobile Pat-eoi Lorin Forgy, Centralia blacksmith, has applipd for a set for automobiles which apply the power to all four wheels. He has fitted up en automobile with his inventions and has run it 250 miles, including a trip to Kansas City with great success. Contrary to the usual rule Forgy's auto mobile started the first time he tried it and has not needed any readjust- inent, A new idea of universal jokit and two differentials with both axles full floating are that important parts in the Forgy car. In testing the ear it has been found that the froDt wheels "pull" stronger than the rear wheels "push," With all four wheels the car has great power, Forgy drives it up against the curbing, stays it, then starts again and runs over the curbing with ease.

Any type of ear can be equipped with the Forgy patents. If they are as good as it is claimed they are, Forgy is just the same as worth a million right now. Atchison Globe. WuutH SfKieMer fur Grand Isluud. A man living in Boston who controls shares of Grand Island stock has filed a suit in a Nebraska court asking for a receiver for the Grand Island railroad, He is dissatisfied because the present management is putting the earnings into improvements instead of paying it out in dividends.

It may be the suit ia merely for the purpose of inducing the majority stockholders to buy his stock at his own figures. The suit brings out the fact that of the 136,000 shares of Grand Island stock, the Union Pacific owns 100,000 and therefor controls it. Also that the capital stock is $13,600,000 divided as follows: $5,000,000 of first preferred, $4,600,000 of second preferred, and 4,100,000 of common stock. The Boston party holds the common stock on which no dividends have lately been declared. Grand Island officials do Dot take the suit seriously nor is it believed a judge will appoint a receiver on the grounds alleged.

Hiawatha Democrat. EpUcoplalani Had the Crowd The 6nly church services in Seneca Sunday night were held at the Episcopal church. It is not often in a city of half dozen placeB of worship that this coincidence occurs. The Methodists had a vacation, on account of the absence of their pastor, Rev. South, from the city.

The Congrega-tionalists are as yet without a pastor, and Rev. Cheney has just terminated her pastorate at the Universalist church. The Episcopalian minister was given a good sized audience who enjoyed the evening prayer service, i 1 Sat Pra been pawned with the hotel keeper. All trace was loot after shaking Seneca duet from their shoes; but close line 'was kept at the right point by the officers, and correspondence at important points established, and within a month after Sheriff Andrews located them at Newcastle. Wyoming.

East St. Louis officers were informed and went for their prisoners. A jury last week found Rutledge cuilty of grand larceny, and gave him ten years in the Joliet penitentiary. The ride over the Alton is a little the smoothest of any in the country. His associate evaded the Newcastle offijers.

Sheriff Andrews came in for a nice little reward for the capture. Unregarded Hit Parole Two years ago the coming December Chestetield Dunn (colored) from Sabetha was found guilty of larceny, and sentenced to five sears in the penitentiary. He was young, without friends, a lad, whom it seemed worth saving, and Judge Stuart paroled him. The conditions of the parole were fully set forth and explained by the judge. From that day nothing was heard from Chesterfield.

At each t-erm of the court inquiry was made about the doings and whereabouts of Dunn, but no tidings came tp the officers. The sheriff was directed to bring him in, and last week officers at St. Joseph ficked up colored loiterer, examined him and discovered a letter in his pockets addressed to another than Dunn; but mentioned that fact in it. It also had something to tay about the arrest of Woods in Kansas City, and advising Dunn the officers would get him, too, "if he didn't watch out." SheriiT Andrew-s now has Chesterfield in jail awaitisg the sitting of court next week.

'Heeling in' consists of digging a trench large enough to receive the roots, one Bide of which should slope from the bottom to the surface of the ground.

Lay the stems with from three to six inches of soil. In this manner the trees can be kept perfectly without danger from drying and without the possibility of being injured by rabbits. Do not cover the tops with straw or rubbish of any kind, or the mice are likely to injure them. Fresh soil is much preferable. "In the spring with the rush of work do not forget the trees and allow them to remain heeled in until they begin growing.

They should be taken up and planted early in April before the buds begin to show any indication of growth. The roots start long before the buds show any evidence of development. The trees should be in their permanent location as soon as root growth starts. Will Ouit riirmliii; The family of Mr. and Mrs.

Ankle Broken Benedict Luckeroth, the youngest son ofjMr. and Mrs. William Luckeroth who live northeast of town, met with a painful accident Sunday afternoon while swinging in the barn.

The rope, which had a sack at the end like those injuse at the parochial school, broke and let the boy fall about five feet.

His work at the parochial school will be dropped until after'Christmas. Seneca voted on a proposition yester day to issue $21,000 bonds for the pur pose of extending the water works, Seneca is bound to have the best water works of any town in this cor ner of the state if possible, and that is a laudable Wetmore Spectator. William Speak recently exhibited a buffalo here, that is quite a relic; it was from a buffalo killed in Marshall county a number of years ago, ner the Big Blue river by William McMahon.

The robe is well preserved and valued highly by Mr. Speak on account of its connection with the his tory of this county. Summerfield Sun, ABOUT THIRTY YEARS AGO.

The atni-hoodlum meeting at the court house was largely attended and much interested manifested in the effort to surpress the half dozen boys doing the deviltry in Seneca. Another meeting was called for November 28 to brace up the council in the matter, The "brace up" seems to have been a success as there Is nothing now extant in Seneca to show any trace of the sort of business complained about. Seneca 27 to Axtell'aO Axtell came Friday afternoon to play a return game with the Seneca high school foot ball team. The seaeon is now at its high water mark in enthusiasm and interest.

Mens and Boys Outfitters First quarter Axtell kicked off and Ser.eea punted, Mason recovering the ball for a touch down; Seneca missed goal. Seneca had the ball for an exhibition off the pedal extremity and Axtell punted after being held for two touch downs. By a series of end runs and line plunges the bail was worked down the'field, and Kampert went over the line for the second touch down, and Seneca missed the final end between the posts. Senca kicked off, Axtell failed to gs.in and punted, which was returned and Artell fambled, Seneea recovering the inflated leather, which Axtell secured on down and was ('forced to punt, and Seneca returned in the same manner.

From now on it was mostly a punting game. The Seneeans clearly outplayed their antagonists and the team has greatly improved -since going to Axtell several weeks ago, and gave encouragement for the inix-up with Sabetha Friday. The game was cleanly played, and the rooters on the sidelines did their part to inspire confidence in the home players. K(aitlili Orphanage, The Wetmore Spectator speaks of a former minister, Rev.
