manifest. Bismarck undoubtedly had the
present alliance in his mind at the time, and
had he consented to the nuptials between
Alexandria and Victoria his present scheme
would have been impossible; Russia would
have been offended at the Battenburg mar
riage and would not have consented to take
tho Princess Sophia-Dorothea as a wife for
her czarowitz
The Grand Duke Nicholas is 90 years Of
age and tall, as are all the Romanoffs. He
has been educated in true military fashion.
By virtue of his position as czarowitz, he is
ataman of the Cossack troops and wears the
CosSack uniform. The princess whom he is
to marry is but lG years old, having been
born in 1872. She is not called pretty, but is
attractive. She was the Emperor Fredericks
favorite daughter and has been much petted
Some thirty years ago "Vicky," as the
queen Of England called her eldest daughter,
went away from the comfortable and COM
paratively bright haunts of her girlhood,

young princess, and so disappointing q dis
covered intrigue of her young husband that
she tried to run away, but was brought back
by the strong will Of her father-in-law. as an
escaped convict is returned to prison by the
strong arm of the law And now the young
est daughter, the pet Of this same "Vicky,"
is offered as a sacrifice to the Russian bear
that Germany may have an ally instead Of
an enemy. It is not that Nicholas proposes
for Sophia-Dorothea, for he does ne such
thing. Bismarck offers the young girl az a
wife. The usual form is set aside, and instead
of the czarowitz asking the hand of tho
princess he is put in tue leap year position Of
accepting or declining her. II remains to be
seen if the daughter will initiate her mothers !,

Married in the Interests of Peace In
Europe.
Last spring there was a fiuttcr in the
hearts OF many maidens who read the ac-
counts Of the alleged love affair between
Alexander of Battenburg and tho Princess
Victoria, daughter Of the late Emperor Fred
erick OF Germany. The stern front pre-
sented by Bismarck against the marriage,
the efforts of the father and mother of the
princess to bring it about, and their final
yielding to Bismarck's will, caused many a
frown to como to many pretty brow as the
details Of the contest came from Germany
and were perused by The young people of
America.
Now comes tho sequel. Bismarck, whose
cast iron countenance and gray hairs seem
to cover not a whit of romance, has pro-
posed to the car Of Russia to marry the
younger sister Of the princess, whose mar
riage with Alexander he refused to the
Grand Duke Nicholas, czarowitz or heir ap-
parent to the throne. The cause Of the OPP

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than it
charges for a like and cOntemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride "a less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronzed. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott ROute)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit TO
enumerate. If you are not aware Of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has ele CANT train service such a. the latest
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. II is

The inaugural address of the Great Rock

braska railway, is to announce that on
November 18th solid vestibu trains will
be run between Chicago and Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs and Pueblo without change,
making close connection at the above
points with all trains for Salt Lake, Los
Angelo, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon,
and all points west, and at Kansas City
and st. Joseph eastward for Chicago, st.
Louis and all points east, north and south,
These royal trains. consisting of Pullman
sleeping cars, restful reclining chair cars
and magniticently furnished day coaches,
were built expressly for this service by the
Pullman company and are without ques
ton the handsOmest ever turned out by
that famous establishment. The reclining
chair cars spoken of are free to all holders
of first class tickets, and a courteous
attendant will be found with every car to
care for the wants of our patrons. Ask
your nearest ticket agent for ticket via

They come over the Frisco from the
direction of Missouri, over the d. VI. & \.

territory, over the Kansas Midland from
central Kansas, over the Missouri Pacific
from the southwest, over the Wichita 4
Western from the west and over three
branches of the Santa Fe and over the
Rock Island from the south. In short
they come from every direction to the
best market in the west And which will
grow with the seasons and with the years
until tickers reports from Wichita will

STATE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION.

An effort is being made to have the next
meeting of the State Breeders association
meet in this city. Mr.. II. G. Toler is a
member of the executive committee and is
giving the matter special attention. There
are other cities in the state figuring on it,
including Topeka, where the association
met last year and enjoyed the privilege &C
corded all other associations that meet
there, which in plain English is paying
double price for hotel accommodations, as
well as for other things.
1t will be necessary to raise about $500
and furnish grounds Very good success
has attended the efforts so far as raising
the money and the indications are favora-
BILE for securing the fair grounds. The as
ISOLATION is composed of one hundred and
thirty-six of the leading stock men of the
state and it is said that the meetings of the
association are always attended by all the
prominent stock raisers of the state, which

Frisco Line to st. Louis and the East.

The St. Louis & San Francisco railway
is now the only line running Pullman
Palace sleeping cars from Wichita to st.
Louis without change; and III addition to
this service they also run elegant free re-
clining chair cars and handsome day
coaches between the two mentioned cities.
The Frisco line is the shortest and
quickest line under one management be-
tween Wichita and St. Louis, and has for
years furnished to its patrons an unsur-
passed through train service. not being
dependent upon connecting lines to make
a through route as is the case with other
lines, consequently the delay so vexatious
to travellers are not encountered. Only
one change of cars to Boston, New York
and other principal intermediate cities.
