Another of EmpOria'a popular bache-
lor's has succumbed to the matrimonial
epidemic which seems to be raging with
such fatality among the male bosrders

jugal bliss. The candidate for congrat-
uIations this time Is our genial young

cox, who was united in marriage to-day
at Leavenworth, to Miss Annie Jones, a
charming and accomplished young lady
of that city, whom the bridegroom has
known and admired for some years. The
ceremony took place at the residence of
the bride at 1 O'Clock p. m. and was
performed by the pastor Of the Catholic
church, of Leavenworth. The mutheT
of MIR. Wilcox and his sister, Mrs. P. ].
Heilman. were present at the nuptisls.
Mr.. Wilcox is the proprietor of one
of the most tiOu rishing grocery stores In
the city, aud no young man In EN-
pOria can boast of more friends and 9
brighter outlook for she future. His
bride is SAID by those who enjoy the
privilege of her acquaintance 10 be a lady

and her introduction to EmpOria society
will be awaited with interest. The
young people will arrive in the city in {
few days and we can assure them q mos

OKLAHOMA,


General Hatch Gone Down to the Terri
tory With Orders to Remove
the Boomers.
wichita Daily Eagle. June Is.
The associate dispatches of last week
announced that General Hatch had made
9 report covering the entire situation in
the Territory. Monday night this paper
was informed that General Hatch had
received his orders touching the settlers.
The general went through this city yes
terday morning. From U. s. Deputy
Marshal Williams who accompanied the
general down to Caldwell, and who, in
company with United States Commits
siOner Sherman, returned last evening,
we learn the following facts: Mr.. Viii.
liams says that General Hatch said that
his orders were positive and mandatory.
He will proceed with such force as he
may deem necessary to remove every
man now within the territory
who Is without q permit to re-
main, after which no one will be
permitted to cross the line except such
as armed with proper passport. Camps
are 70 be established at Caldwell, Hun
newell, Arkansas City and COfeyville
and q full company of soldiers stationed
at each. The general further said In
case there was any armed or otner
forcible resistance 1t would not be well
for those concerned, as such an atti.
tude would be attended with
the gravest results, even though not 8
single shot was fred upon either side
So far as Marshal Williams could learn
it Is the intention of the department to
absolutely prohibit any further attempts
to settle the territory until congress shall
have taken some definite action, either
sanctionIng the settlement or prohibiting
1t altogether. General Hatch was ask
ed what would be done with reference
to the Texas border. He replied that there
was no danger from that quarter, the
settlers down there lacked the enterprise
or were wanting In that spirit OF adven
tire which characterized the boomers.
If there Is any mistake in the facts ii
set forth above, then Mr. Williams fail.
ed to understand the import Of the gen
erals conversation, for it is just as giver
| to Us.

president; J. Manthur, vice president 4;
w. Il. Stout. treasurer; Rev. A. Warner
and j. A. Willett, secretaries, held q
meeting in this city yesterday andIamong
other matters considered the recent ac-
ton of Gov. st. John, which resulted IN
the passage of the following resolutions
Resolved, That we, as the Bourbon
County Temperance Union, deprecate
the action of our former leader and CO.
worker, John P. st. John, in his recent
refusal to support the national republi-
can ticket. tor tine following reason:
1, The Republican party has shown
In this state that it is the friend of tenn
perance, and 1t is through its Organiza-
ton the state is now blessed with an ef-
fectiVe prohibition law.
2, We believe that at this time the
action OF Elk Governor st. John Is calcu-
lated to distract and disOrganiZe the
friends of temperance at time when
organization and united effort is OF the
highest importance.
s, We believe that the time has moi
arrived when prohibition can be made
| national movement without doing
greater harm to the cause In IDOsS SlhLee
| which have adopted that policy locally
than can be accomplished IN the general
good
4. We believe that the wise policy fol
those who desire the success of prohibI
ton is to demand of the Republican
party of Kansas, as heretofore. the re-
cognition of the principles of prohibi
ton in its state platform. and that, al
prohibltiOnists, we pledge ourselves II
sustain their action In 80 doing with oui
| influence and our votes.
We IS officers of the Bourbon County
| Temperance Union commend these sug
gestlons to the thoughtful transportation
of all prohibitions.

The attention Of the public has been
called frequently Of late to the subject of
ammonia in tood," and the matter is
being 30 vigorously agitated that it nee
essariiY arouses the curiosity Of the pub
lie at large, and leads them TO ascertain,
if possible, what 1t Is all about In the
lrst place the question arises, what is
ammoniS? whence comes it,
Quoting United States Dispensatory"
cit was probably originally prepared
from putEid urine" Other sources are
"coal SCOT. stale urine, guanO, etc." The
Encyclopaedia BEittannlca" says OF it:
Carbonate of ammonia Is obtained in
largest quantities by the putretactlon
of the urine Of animals, or the dry dis
tillation of animal matter" ''Roscoe's
Chemistry" states that "When horns, or
clippings of hide are heated, ammonia
is given OF; hence ammonia was known
as spirits of haTtshorn." THE name
ammonia is derived from the facts that
q compound containing ammonia was
first prepared by heating camel's dung"
Ammonia is mainly obtained from the
ammOnical liquors of gas works"
0uano, the dried excrement Of sea birds,
and the urine of ANIMALS, likewise con-
tains large quantities of ammonia"
Farmers know ite value as q fertilizer,
and physicians know its value as coun-
| ter-irritant and powerful stimulent- All
physicians class it among drugs, ana as
| drug il is Q question whether il Is not
better to let il remain in the hands OF
physicians and druggists, and leave 1t
| out Of our food. A recent, article called
"a Baking Powder Trick" condemns q
scheme or trick the simple method OF
which has been gwen through these

certain, without the aid OF chemists or
chemical apparatus, whether she is us
ing an article free from disgusting in
gradients and after once convinced of the
tftie source of ammonia, and its presence
in an article of food, il is her option
whether the use Of 1t is continued or
not. The test may be sHsimple one, but
by its means the unsuspecting find that
cans of Baking Powder" stamped on
the cover Absolutely Pure" contain am.
monia, and certainly no refined person
who has once read some reliable author
ity on ammonia would be likely To
bring home for use an article containing
so inferior q substance. Baking pow.
ders have become q convenient, useful
and important article in millions oil
homes. and every manufactures should
prepare and sell it only as conforms to

sure health and safety. There is no diff
ficulty in procuring a baking powder
that will stand the test OF the oven
that does not contain ammonia. If al
article has merit, and has once become
established in home, Its merit will al
ways insure 1t q place there, but if q pro
duct of daily use through unreliable
source is made 10 appear better than i
Is, any means, however simple. by
which its inferiorIty may be judged
