TOPEKA, Kas., March %.—The initial number of the Kansas Knocker, a maga- zine published here by J. F. Jarrell and My- ron A. Waterman, local newspaper men, contains an article by John J. Ingalls on the Sheldon newspaper experiment. It fol- lows: “tT belong to no church and svwhscribe to no creed, but I believe in God and immor- tality and that we shall reap what we sow here and hereafter. : “T recognize religion as a prodigious force in human affairs and Christianity as one of its most impressive manifestations. While other religions are older and have endured longer and have more followers, none has exerted such immense influence upon government, society and civilization. Its sanction rests entirely upon the example and teachings of Jesus, for whom theolo- gians claim much more than he ever claimed for himself. “He was poor. He had no education. His life to the age of 30 was passed in manuel labor. His associates, male and female, were ignorant and obscure. His public career was less than three years. He wrote nothing. He wandered about in the fields, among the mountains and by the sea talk- ing familiarly to his companions, to chance acquaintances and at picnics and camp- meetings. His recorded acts and words sould not fill five newspaper columns and were not collected till many years after his death. “Whatever opinion may be: held as to his divinity, he is one of the colossal figures of history. Pilate and Herod and Cesar, the kings and heroes and philosophers of that time are nothing. No one cares that they lived or died, but millions would die rather than surrender their faith in Jesus. “What Jesus would do were he in Kansas to~ are a splendid remedy and will heartily recom- mend them.” Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills but Yellow Tablets, and are put up in wooden boxes, which contain enough for about two weeks’ treatment, and sell at fifty cents a box.

C., March 2%.—Careful polls of the Senate show enough votes to pass the House Puerto Rican tariff bill without amendment. It is, however, pos- sible that two important changes may be made if Speaker Hendesson Is satisfied that the amended bill can be passed in the House. These changes are: Restricting the tariff to Puerto Rican ex- ports solely and admitting United States products to the island free. Limiting the operation of the tariff until] the civil government of the isiand frames its own revenue producing laws. If Mr. Henderson and his associates find, however, that the amended Dill would be lost in the House, the measure as it now stands will be passed in the Senate without There are 61 straight-out Repaub- lican members of the Senate. All but 11 are certain to vote for the House bill. In addition four votes will be secured from Senators not classed as Republicans. This makes 44 sure votes, a majority, as there If it becomes neces Sec, ‘sary, however, at least four {if not six Sen- ators not counted in the poll will vote for the bill. The Republican Senators will caucus on the Puerto Rican tariff bill at 4 o’clock this afternoon. The Senate Committee on Porto Rico de- cided to-day to make no recommen d&tions for thé separation of the tariff feature from the Perto Rican bill; until after the action of the Republican caucus, to he held this afternoon, Serious Shooting Affray. ‘A party of colored? men got into a quar- | 'of Willlam’‘s rattling rel at Dan Adams’ saloon, 202 Broadway.
