MOTHER AND CHILDREN SEPARATED.

A distressing scene occurred yesterday in
the county building. A husband and wife
each wanted divorce, and Of course, got
it. They both regretted it and the hus
band was too stubborn to repent of it and
the wife was too proud, and as natural
consequence the children had to suffer.
The custody of the children had been given
to the father by the decree, but the mother
cOuId not separate herself from the child
rem and went back home and lived until
last Thursday. In the meantime a recon
Citation would have resulted but the
neighbors kept talking about 1t, OF course,
and the mother finally moved to the city
and rented a house. The children We're
sent to school and the three younger ones
walked several miles to the city and went
to their mother. The two elder, boy and
a girl. STAYED at home. The father got out
A writ of habeas corpus and the children
were brought into court and given 10 him.
Their CRYING was heart rendlng and there
was no one who witnessed the scene bnt
regretted that such a thing as divorce was
known. The attorneys finally effected a
COMPROMISE between the parties and the
mother borrowed the three young children
and took them home.
The history of the case Is brief and
simple. The wife was younger than
her husband and naturally wanted some
recreation besides work His inclinations
were satisfied when by his wite's assistance
they had amassed some money and
profitable farm. The difference in tastes
gradually made breach between them
and the neighbors took sides in matter
that was none CT their business and the
scene of yesterday was the result.
\ gentleman who was present and
knows both parties said that one-half the in
iuence and money that had brought abouta
separation would have effected recon
citation in one-half of the time The at
tornevs in the case thought the result a
little too serious and II was through them
that the compromise was effected The
same gentleman said he was willing 10
make a wager that a reconciliation would he
effected inside of thirty days if the neigh
bors would mind their own business and II

OKLAHOMA COUNTY LINES.

Mr.. w. H Diven, editor of the FL Reno
Eagle, arrived last evening and will spend
a few days in the city. He reports the
Republican league, which met at his town
Tuesday to decide on county lines to
recommend to the governor, decided to
divide the Oklahoma country in six coun-
ties with county seats as follows: Oklaho-
ma City, Guthrie, Kidgfsher, Beaver City,
Norman, FL Reno.
1t is not known that the governor when
he appears will adopt the recommendation
and the towns left out it is thought will
make a lively fight and the new governor
will have picnic deciding the matter.
Mr.. Piyen says the people in his section
have lost all preference of candidate for
governor and the activity in this line IS
absorbed mostly by the hope that the ap-
pointment will be made soon. They want
to get settled down to business.
The wheat and corn and country are
reported as looking fine and the recent
rains have filled the people with great

TIE c. t. L. AND THE EAGLE.

Some liar signing himself Neritas-tbis
is a Latin word meaning truth-to the
Topeka Capital, in the interest of the W.
c. T. [. and Colonel Bain's lecture, says
the Wichita dailies being all resubmis-
sion papers will not publish anything for
the party which is law abiding" How
does the perfume Of a sneaking skunk
render its presence savory. The EAGLE
not oul vgave Colonel Balm several gratul-
tous notices-their pay-pnnting being
carried to a side-street job oflce-but Col
onel Balm in turn in his Sunday afternoon
lecture paid the EAGLE a splendid tribute.
As for the W. c. I. I. the EAGLE has
given the organization hundreds upon
hundreds of dollars worth of advertising
and has stood 10y them through
thick and thin and for years and years.
That ''Veritas.n in the Capital, reflects the
Judgment and feeling Of the members Of
that organization towards the EAGLE we
do not question. We only hope they may
be honest enough with their own con
sciences to take their advertising here
after somewhere else and that when they
need moral support that they seek 1t in
the posters of the job office that they may
select to do their advertising. The idea Of
the ". c T L. criticising anybody touch
inr the matter of support II that
organization was ever anything but a
dead load itself. or that it ever supported
anybody save its own officers, would be
news TO the EAGLE.

AN IMPORTANT DEMAND.
Track Connection Between the Wichita q est
ern and the c., X n. at Pratt-Rail-
road Commissions Investigate.

Messrs. w. s. Corbett, Preston of the
stock yards, and Rhodes, superintendent
of the Wichita & Western, returned yes
terday from a trip west to Pratt, where
they met the state board Of railway COM
missioners to present the question of hav-
ing switch facilities established between
the Wichita & Western and the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska at Pratt or some point
west, so freight with cars can be transfer
red from one road to the other. The com
missioners and the Wichita committee
found the people along the two roads west
where they parallel quite anxious that
such facilities should be provided and the
railroad companies asked that in case they
were forced to go to the expense that
point be selected that would impose as lit
tie cost as possible. AT Pratt the railroad
men observed that the expense would be
greater than at some other points as the
roads are farther apart and the land roll
ing.
1t is not known as yet what the commits
sioners viii do but it is thought they will
see the necessity for switching facilities
same where and the same will be or
dered. Those asking the facilities
as understood made 10 request as to
certain point the transfer should be
made but were satisfied that it should be
provided for some where. The board, as
estimated, will not reach a conclusion on
the matter for some days.
The advantages derived from the inn
provement desired viii ready be seen by all
in the city doing business west along
Wichita & Western. 1t simply adds the
long line of the c., K. & n, down towards
Liberal, to the Wichita territory or at least
placing it within easier reach. The live
stock and grain coming from the Liberal
country can come to Wichita if so desired
over the Wichita & Western and the ar
rangement will, it is thought, result IN
more shipments reaching Wichita than
to go east over the Rock Island and
coming back. In that event the chances
for going on to eastern markets are IN
creased. Also the wholesale trade OF the
city will find a new country placed within
easier reach and the improvement in this
line will be welcomed by the wholesale and
manufacturing interests most heartily
Should the switching facilities be added
the board would at the same time adjust
the freight question, and all difficulties
would be removed.
Mr. Corbett said yesterday that he never
saw the west look better than at present.
In Pratt county over 81, 900 acres Of wheat,
some of it heading out and all looks fine.
No one reports any damage done by the
March storms and the prospects never bet
ter.

The sun had kissed the western hills,

And wish you had some more.
INSECTS, BY GEO. W. GAY, JR.
Insects are very small except in Arkan-

they all can bite and some are poisonous.
Lady bugs are handsome, but bed bugs

Some insects have names like the cock
roach and tumble bug and some have long
legs like grass hopper or grandaddy-

THE ABSTRACTERS MEET.


The state association of abstracters held
their annual meeting in the rooms of the
real estate exchange in the Sedgwick block
Yesterday. Owing to the absence Of some
of the prominent officers no business of I'M
portance was transacted. Before adjourn
ing a vote was had rendering the thanks
of the association to the exchange for the
use of their rooms for the meeting. The
abstracters attending spent the day in
social intercourse and discussing the gen
eral good of the profession. There was
manifested universal satisfaction over
the legislation of last winter. II was con-
coded by all that the requirement of a
bond from abstractOrs had the effect of
cutting off host of persons who had been
doing abstract work without the necessary
books for that work and placing the real
abstractor in more substantial business
attitude before the public. That 1t has re
suited in making the abstracter response

The membership expressed themselves
as much pleased with the magnitude and
business show of the city, this being the
first visit of many of them.

INVESTIGATING WICHITA AND KANSAS.

There are many strangers in the city
looking around with an eye to business.
Some are looking over farm lands in the
state, some inquiring into prices on city
property and some looking around for the
facilities offered for going into certain
lines of business. They seem to think
they have reached wonderful state and
also wonderful city. All speak in a most
complimentary way of the surroundings.
Those looking after Wichita discover that
they find no indications of a dead city and
every one busy and no dead ends" And
in this connection it may be added that
many of the leading businass men OF the
CITY greatly under estimate the real bust
ness that is being done. Every one knows
about the rapidly growing stock market,
the business OF the packing houses, car
works and many manufacturing establish
ments and wholesale interests but hun
dreds of smaller concerns are over

enterprises have been started, employing
two three or a half dozen men. They were
not large enough to create any stir or call

the projectors of the various concerns,

opportunity for an honest living, and at
the same time of benefit to the city. a

the citizens had been looking after impor-
tant establishments, the smaller ones had
been started up, and in this way business
