MIGHT HAVE SAVED THE CITY MONEY.
The Agent for the Sargent Estate Sets Forth
His Position.

The Agent for the Sargent Estate Sets Forth
His Position.
Mr.. Edwin Powell, who represents the
Sargent estate, East End took exception to
Senator Films statement that he was op-
posed to the curative measure because he
wished to evade the paymen. of a just as
sessment. In this connection Mr.. Powell
stated to DISPATCH reporter that SO far
from this being the case the estate was
willing to have the matter between the city
and the estate settled in a court of law.
''Three years ago." said Mr.. Powell, "the
estate brought suit against the city in $780,
900 damages for injury to portion of its
property. An injunction was obtained to
restrain the city from further molesting the
property pending a legal decision on the
point The city was obliged to give a bond
in $50, 600 TO indemnify the estate against
loss, and the bond was filed and is held by
us to this day, for the case has never been
brought to trial. D. 7. Watson still has
the case in hand, and we are only too anx-
ious to have the legality OF the city's action
tested. If this case had been tried the city
would not now be s.. 600, 900 in debt"

Why Are They Silent?

When the Mckinley bill passed it was a
race to see who would tell you first about
the advance that would take place later on.
Why don't they come out and post you now
about the condition of the drygoods m arket
in the East? Never were prices so low as
now, and they will be no higher this season.
See what we offer: All the 12c, 15c and 18c
fine dress ginghams and zephyr stripes go
at 1Uc; one price for all. Remember, when
you pay 1910 to 18c you are getting what
we sell at 10c. All the popular makes.

marks oil his feet being visible in the snow.
An investigation showed that nothing had
been taken. The affair was reported to the

But these are small matters when COM
pared with the accusations which await
this man of many marriages. The publica-
ton Of his arrest in the California papers
brought telegram from San Juan Capis-
trano that his wife, who resided there,
wished to know the nature of the charges
against him. Before the authorities hardly
had time to put one and one together and
decide that Smith must have two living
wives, they were waited upon by Mr.. Hug
gins, of Mcpherson, Cal, a wealthy ranch
er, who said that Wilbur Y. Smith is at
the present time the lawfully welded hus-
band of his sister; that the pair were mar
ried in 1889, and lived in Colorado until
about three months ago, when Smith aban-
doned her and went to California, leaving
her with three months old child.
The authorities began to be dazed, and
the petty case of Wilbur Y. Smith, ac-
cused Of defrauding an inn, paled into
insignifcance when right on top of it all
came letter from the corn raising dis
tricts of Kansas. There, SO the letter sets
forth, dwells the fourth wife. Who
wouldn't be apt to defraud an inn with
four wives AZ residing in different parts of
the country And never a one of them
has known tfsat the others existed
Meanwhile wife No. has retired to the
quiet of sleepy Anaheim, the little Ger
man city, the former home of Nine.
Modjeska, and there she tearfully awaits
the outcome of it all. She is the daughter
of John Benton, of St. Paul, MINI, rel
alive of Thomas H. Benton and a wealthy
and influential citizen. She married
Smith eight years ago, but has resided
with him very little of the time. She is an
educated and refined lady, accomplished in
music and art.
OF No. 2 little is known. She has
sent her message of inquiry; the answer
she has received may cause a shock from
which she will never fully recover, but that
is matter of speculation only.
No is described by her brother as a
lovely young girl, very confding and low
ing, who was smitten at first sight by the
dashing manner and suave ways of Smith
and trusted him implicitly.
And No. 4, what is she likeS What is her
story? Smith only knows. He may have
to tell it to the court, and then all will
know. Until then the surmise is that she
is, like the others, the victim of misplaced
affection.
What about this man who has diluted
his affections and made them 90 so far?
Women would call him handsome, perhaps.
He possesses a ready tongue and fertile
brain; he has seen much of the world and
its ways, and his intentions, it would seem
to an outsider, are just slightly dishonor-
able. At any rate he has engaged in more
matrimony than the law allows at one time.

Brief Mention.

Some very fine hogs in today.
There were some hogs in today which
averaged about $50; and they were
less than year DID,
Just about half of the hogs in today
were wagon hogs.
There were five regular shippers in with
stock today.
Some very nice cattle were driven in
today.
J. 4. Caldwell, of Kechi township, had
in the finest load of hogs today that have
been in this week
Philo Hunter of Elbing, was in today
with a car of hogs and cattle. His stock
was of very good grades.
The only shipment made today was by
Mckinley; a car of cattle.
The other shippers who sent in stock
today, were:
j Bramwell, of Yoder, hogs and cattle.
William Johnston, hogs and cattle.
J. B. Kell. of Clearwater, hogs.
The hogs sold today were bought by
Fort Worth, 1870; Dold, 16S; and Gar
land, 81
The cattle market would be considerably
stronger if more good butchers stuff
was sent in.

Another great change has been made,
and that lies in the fact that now each
sultana has her card. with her name and
title, fastened on the door to her own
private apartment Formerly even
sultana's name was unknown, and no one,
aside from those Immediately surround
ing her, ever mentioned her; but now it
is different, and with that innovation
comes many more. Now in the stables
you may hear, Harness NaZli Hanoum's
horses" or those of Adelaide, or some
other favorite. So the names get to be
known, and today numbers of the sui
tanas are recognized as they ride in
their carriages, for the veil is small pro-
lection.
The photograph from which the pict-
ure here given was taken is that of a
woman who has been an inmate of the
imperial harem six years. She is about
twenty years old. Her name is Bulbul
Hanoum, and she is q Georgian by birth.
She was brought TO Constantinople when
child. She passed through several
hands before she was ten years old, at
which time she gave promise Of great
beauty. Then she attracted the notice
of the valide sultana, or sultan's mother,
who placed her among the young girls
she keeps on hand in training for the po-
sition of sultana, or oftener to be hastily
taken from seclusion and given to the
sultan as child might receive a new
toy, to divert his mind from one of his
"kingly RACES"
This sultana was presented by the sui
tan's mother at the end of the feast of
Ramazan, which makes of her legal
sultana from the time she entered the
harem. She received the name Of Bull
bull on account of her beautiful voice,
which was cultivated by an Italian
teacher. She also plays quite well on
the piano and guitar, and is woman of
considerable character. She is one Of
the sultan's prime favorites, though she
has never boon mother. She is dressed
simply in the picture, much as an ordi-
nary Turkish woman might dress On go
ing out, as 1t would probably be forbid
den for her TO be photographed in the
peculiar sort of crown which the sui
tanas wear on gala day. The veil really
hides little Of the face, and is more of an
ornament than otherwise. This is Just
as all Turkish women wear the yashmak
or veil, and the shapeless cloak or feridjee
which hides all the outlines of the fig
