LICENTIOUS LITERATURE Written and Mailed by an Adventist Elder. Many people of Topeka have met with and listened to Elder J. Riley.

On Wednesday they were given another opportunity to see the gentleman, under the following circumstances: Riley was brought to Topeka by a United States deputy marshal, on the charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. Riley has been for some past in charge of an Adventist church in Council Grove, where he resides. While on a missionary tour he visited Independence, and there met the good looking wife of a hardworking carpenter, named Coates. He called at the home of Mrs. Coates, aud while she manipulated a washing machine, the Rev.

Riley read words of holy writ. It was while thus engaged, according to Riley's statement, that the "devil took possession" of him, and caused him to make improper proposals, which led to improper rela: tions. These relations continued right along, Riley making his visits under the guise of the lady's pastor. The husband's suspicions were aroused, and a short time ago were verified by finding five letters. They were addressed to Addie Knapp, his wife's maiden name.

He acrused her of being too intimate with Riley and she at once confessed her sin. Riley could not then be found. Mr. Coates locked the letters. which were filled with lascivious and obscene matter, in his tool chest, but his wife found them and burned them.

The next day Coates obtained from the postoffice a letter addressed to "Miss Addie Knapp," the contents of which were even more vile than the preceding five. It was from Riley and requested the wife to meet him at the Commercial house in LeRoy. Coates secured the services of a United States marshal, who found Riley at Burlingame delivering a temperance lecture, The marshal stepped to the front and made his business known to Riley, who at the conclusion of his lecture, was brought to Topeka and held for appearance before the U. 9. grand jury.

Riley does not deny having written the letters, It is said that he will plead guilty.

Quietly he had withdrawn from the apartments he was wont to occupy.

Many reasons were suggested by the matronly gossips who soon appeared upon the ground floor of the departed's late residence. But none of the suggestions seemed to be fundamental, until there appeared upon the scene a dapper and -by the ladies--much appreciated "order taker" a leading house in the city, which seeks to supply the resid nts of Pov.

But of are booming kingdoms of this earth and the tears of the virtuous creditor availeth nothing. IT is stated that George M.
