AT small town in Wurtemburg, re-
Gently, marriage took place which
brings about complicated state of
family relations. The woman had been
married three times before, aud each
time had taken for her husband wild
over with children. Her fourth hus-
band was also widower, and as he
had had children by his first wife, who
was herself widow with children
when he married her, the newly mar
ried couple have started their matri-
monial companionship with family
composed of the children of no less
than eight previous marriages. 1t

exact relationship existing between

ATTENTION is being called to the fact
that the peak of Teneriffe at dawn
casts upon the ocean shadow that at
first appears to be flat upon the sur
face, but that gradually seems to rise
up until it is perpendicular, and stands
apparently reproduction in black of
the real mountain which beside it is
white and glowing in the sunlight.
The scientific explanation of the phe-
nomenon is that the shadow at first is
really fiat upon the water, but that, as
the heat of the rising sun causes va
por to rise from the ocean, the shadow
gradually becomes cast against the
bank of fog instead of upon the water,
and really is straight up in the air.

cattle he is holding near. Elk City, and
is expecting 1000 head at Terrence,
from New Mexico, that will also be put
on grass and soaked corn until ready

Independence Tribune: Supply and
demand appears to have little intiu-
ence on the coru market, yet. On
Saturday corn sold on our streets at 25
cents, and in some instances parties had
to 60 out and haul it in. A few weeks
ago corn was only worth Is cents.
Demand for ready money when corn
first gets dry enough to go to market
governs the supply of corn for market
when the season opens, and is always
met with the lowest possible price.
When this demand for early ready
money gets satisfied, then the supply is
checked and the market bids up. This
year is inst like all the years in this re.
spect; yet people seem to be determined
not to recognize the fact.
From Larned: The Pawnee county
assessors have returned this spring

vigorous growth, with good color.
Fruit, apples, plum, cherry and pear
trees have blossomed more profusely
than for years, in fact could not have
been greater. Peaches not so good.
The fruit is beginning to form. Apples
in several places have as many as five
and six in a single cluster. If one
fourth of the fruit that is now set ma
lures it will be the heaviest crop We
have ever had. They are not con-
sidered out of danger yet. A cold wind
or frost would prove disastrous to
them.

nection with the election of United

by the Republicans is successfully car
ried out it would seem that the senator
may succeed himself. An application
has been made to the supreme court to
compel the state board of canvassers to
give certificates of election TO nineteen
delegates, which wers elected under the
provision of the constitution, which Gays
that each county that has go votes is
entitled to representative. The con-
stitution at the same time limits the
number of members to l25, so that in
order to seat the nineteen delegates
from scarcely settled counties it would
be necessary to drop an equal number of
members-elect from the more populous
counties. If the court issues mandanus
and the nineteen delegates are seated
they will vote for ingalls,, as they are so
