HIS THREE WIVES.
An Inyo rEan i'm a Very
Bad Tangle.
NU1BER ONE is HUNTING HIM.
j. r. KinsIand Comes to San Franz
cisco to Have Himself Fixed
Up by a Lawyer.

j. F. Kinsland, an IDyo County miner is
so woefully tangled up in his domestic
affairs that he does not know whether he is
afoot or horseback.
He is now in this city endeavoring to get
a legal opinion on his true condition. His
attorney. Wickliffe Matthews, to whom he
has assigned the woeful task, rather sadly
admits that he has undertaken very large
contract
In 1866 Kinsland, who was then about 20
years of age, married a farmers daughter
in Vermont The pair lived very happily
together until 1870. In that year Kinslaud
was seized with the ambition TO become
millionaire. He went to the mining dis
tricts of Idaho with that purpose in view.
leaving his wife and one child at home.
After an absence of about year he re-
ceived the sad intelligence that his child
had died.
He had scarcely gotten over that blow
when he was informed that his wife had
disappeared.
Kinsland was too busy searching for
million TO return home, so be delegated the
duty of hunting for his wife to his younger
brother.
After another year the skeleton of
woman was found In a creek near his Yer
mont home which was duly identified to be
that OF his lost wife.
kinsland decided 10 try matrimony once
more, and he was married TO an Idaho
woman by Justice of the Peace.
After journeying down the troublesome
matrimonial river awhile with his second
wife the pair decided to separate.
They went 10 Justice Of the Peace. who
very aceommodatingly agreed to divorce
them for the small sum OF $50.
Glad enough 10 resume his freedom at
such price kinsland planked down the
money.
Dispensing with all formalties the Jus
tice pocketed ths fee md declared the mat
rimonial fetters dissolved. and both parties
were allowed 10 90 their way.
Alone again in the world kinsland toiled
away at prospecting without making
strike"
At last he went to Portland. There he
met woman who suited his matrimonial
taste 10 the letter.
After few days of courtship he married
her.
He came 20 California and found con-
genial employment in a lumber camp in
Humboldt County.
A few years of this, AMI the old ambition
to make million" returned with increased
force. Taxing his wife with him he went
TO lnyo County to try his luck. In the
meantime he had kept up correspondence
with his brother in Vermont Now he
wishes he hadn't Several months ago he
received the startling Information that his
first wife, whom he supposed had long been
mOldering in the dust was abroad in the
land, aud was looking for her long lost
spouse. Startled by this news, Kinslnnd
sought the opinion of friend Of some legal
experience. who scared him almost out OF
his senses.
The amateur lawyer at once convinced
the miner that he was a trigamist Of the
deepest dye. Visions of States prison,
hempen rope, tar and feathers and other
tortures haunted him continually.
Unable TO stand the strain any longer he
came to this city to have himself straight
ened out.
''0n, yes, he can be fixed up all right"
his attorney admits, "but il takes time 10
do IT,"

contracted location in the south LarKin-
street wing to the more commodious hall in

At present the average number of daily
visitors exceeds 700 persons ard the number
Of volumes in the library is 80 900. With
larger accommodations this number of
books aud visitors will be largely Increased
The demand for books has never been so
gseat as at present and the existing faclli-
ties are taxed TO their utmost.
In the new quarters larger appropria-
ton will enable the directors to increase
the force OF Librarians and add greatly to
the numbers OF the volumes.
Ii has been decided also to do away with
the present system Of cataloguiug the books
and instead of having them printed In
books, which soon become out OF date by
the additions that are made, to substitute
the machines which have been invented by
the assistant librarian, In which additions to
the catalogues can be added every day If
necessary and become Immediately avail

Twenty one OF these machines have been
ordered, and the experiments made with

The Meaning Of Their Bets.
10 the RditOr Of THY ADvoCATR.

TO the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Strsws generally show which way the
wind blows, and, it is said, actions speak
louder than words. I have watched with
great interest the acts Of the stand-up
crowd during this campaign, and have
noticed that some Of their papers admit
that they are beat out Of their boots. Yet
all over Kansas they are offering to bet
on Smith, and answering the arguments
Of our speakers with ancient eggs.
The question has occurred to me,
Wherefore this assurance that leads re-
publicans to bet upon the election of
Smith while virtually conceding the de-
feat of the balance Of the ticket?
The fact that some Of these same men
within the last few days are offering to
bet on the election Of the Weaver elect
ors seems to furnish clue to the
ground Of their hope. What! republi-
cans betting on Weaver? Yes, most as
suredly. What does this mean? It
means that they. intend to trade votes
for the Peoples party electors for votes
for Smith. II they can gel the governor
or either branch of the legislature, they
can block legislation in the interest Of
the people.
But who do they expect to trade with?
Will Peoples party voters be fools
enough to trade in this way wher by
voting their own ticket they can elect
both state and national tickets from top
to bottomY think not. Voters of Kan
sas, do not be fooled by republican tao
tics this year. Vote our ticket straight,
and the rotten egg party will be buried
beyond hope of resurrection.

To the Editor Of TKE ADVOCATE:
There are men in Kansas calling Lew
elling, Simpson, and all our candidates
anarchists, who, in SO doing, only proclaim
their own impulsive, preiudicial, puerile
proclivities, unrestrained by such modi-
cum Of common sense as they were en-
dowed with by nature, and which, in the
other practical affairs of life, in some
measure guides their actions; there are
other men in Kansas who knowingly and
designedly promulgate and repeat these
false accusations for selfish and malign
purposes, ard there are still others who,
in thus doing, but advertise their own
mental sterilty and pavcity Of knowl-
edge in reference to social, industrial and
economic problems. The uttersnces OF
these men should have as much atten-
ton as the mouthings of an imbecile or
an idiot, or as the barking of o cur or
the kissing Of goose.
