Crooked Pension Clerk.

Recently man presented two checks
at a bank in Horton which aggregated
g. 600, bearing the signature of Bernard
Kelley, United States pension agent al
Topeka. The cashier recognized the
signature as genuine, but the amounts
were so large for pension checks that
he was suspicious that all was not right,
and made an excuse not to pay them.
He telegraphed to Mr. Kelley, and
learned that they were stolen checks
that had been raised. Investigation
led to the discovery that the checks had
been stolen, after Mr.. Kelley had signed
them, and filled in, one for 81, 100 and
the other for $500. Further develop
ments showed that E. r. Westfall one
of the trusted clerks in the office, was
the guilty person and that he had two
accomplices, Bob Whistler, of La Cygne,
and a man named Dickson, of Horton.
Westfall confessed his guilt He has a
wife and three children, and until he
commenced drinking had been a faith,

Rights of Married Persons.

In the district court at Wichita Judge
Reed lately made decision on ques.
ton raised for the first time in Kan
sas court DR.. Oatley, a widower with
out children, made a will and after.
ward married for the second time and
died without issue. The legatees
under the will claimed half the estate,
but the widow contended that the sub
sequent marriage revoked the will and
that she was entitled to the whole
estate. Judge Reed held that as the
statutes of 1888 enabled husband or
wife to dispose of half their property
without the consent of the other there
would be no sense in setting aside this
will, as the testator could have made il
as well after as before marriage, and
that the widow is only entitled to that
half of the estate which the law gives
her.

THE GOvERNOR-ELECT's FAMILY.
Although the house lis not fair to
outward view" the interior is very
bright and coy. There are seven
rOoms-a dining room and kitchen
and store room down stairs-in the
basement-and a parlor and sleeping
rooms above. In the parlor there is a
book case well filled with books, and
larger case in the sitting room below is
also filed, while papers and magazines
peep out from odd corners. A piano
and few pictures are in the parlor
and hundred dainty touches of a
woman's hands are seen everywhere.
The coming executive family Of Kan
sas is a very interesting one. Mrs
Lewelling is young looking woman
with coal black eyes and hair. She is
Mr.. dwellings second wife, and is al
most as handsome as his oldest daugh-
ter, Jessie, aged 10, whom she has cared
for before her invalid mother died.
Mrs. Lewelling was the first Mrs
dwellings cousin, and during her i'll

dren, so it was but natural that they
should come to call her mother

the pride and JOY of the family, and at

her, and if you go to the Lewelling
home you will either have to look at
the ''liittie cloak" or be ''queered" with

before you are near the end.
Of course the motorman knows where

The new governor thinks that a rail-
road law creating a commission with
more power than the present commits
sion and abolishing the present com.
mission, will be among the possibilities.
This is the Wichita way of getting rid
of the present incumbents GA the rail-
way commission without asking them
to resign, and Wichita is town noted
for its politeness. The governor is not
overly warm on the subject of a maxi.
mum railroad rate bill. He is inclined
to think that sort of sliding scale in
the hands of commission properly en-
powered and appointed is what is want.
