DULL FRIDAY.
The Probate Judge Can't DO Business on the
SIX II Day.

Probate Judge Stratton's Office bore a
very striking resemblance 10 grave yard
yesterday, inasmuch as there WAS no
semblance of business about the place
whatever. When Friday comes Judge
Stratton takes down his horse papers and
reads them leisurely all day, for he knows
that there will be no business. The princi-
pal-or rather the profitable business OF
the probate judge, is derived from matri-
mOnial transactions. and consequently
Friday is dull day for him.
There is a little touch of superstition
about everybody People will argue to
the contrary, but the superstition is there
just the same. Ii people are not supersti-
tious Wv will they refuse to move on
Friday? Men don't care much, but If you
ask your wife to move on Friday
you will fiHd that the promise she made at
the altar to love- honor and obey her hus-
| band, will bs broke so far as the "obey"
part of it is concerned. You may possibly
meet with obedience If you ask her to
| throw herself in the well, but move on
Friday, never. And as for marrying on
| Friday she wont do it under any circum-
! stance whatever. She may live an old
maid all her life, but she will not marry
on Friday. A man may have the wealth
of the count of Monte Cristo and the face
| of an Adones, and yet woman will not
marry MIN on the sixth day of the week.
| You can ask her why and she will say
| "cause" and that is about all you can gel
! out of her, for she will not admit that she
is superstitious. During the years that
Judge Stratton has been in Office
he has not issued marriag
license on Friday, and yesterday
was no exception; neither will next Friday
! Or any other Friday until the superstition
| is rooted out of the feminine heart.
During the four years Judge Buckne1
was in office he did not perform ii mar
riage ceremony on Friday. but he ISSUED
two licenses to people who were marriet
on the Sunday following. One OF tht
couples remained together only three
weeks, while the bride in the other cas'
died within a year after marriage. Thi
would have happened, of course. if TIT
licenses had been issued on any other day
Of the week, but there are scores O
women who will not believe it..
Where the superstition originated NJ
one knows, bat it is certain that j
existed in the time of Napoleon. who. it il
said, was angry because his second bride
changed the date OF their nuptials becaus,
the original date fell on Friday.

FREDDIE ARTHUR ALLEN.
A White Infant Finds His Way Into the Col
ored Children's home.

A colored woman, the president of the
colored ehidren's home, visited the probate
Judges office Yesterday and taking u seat
it was noticed tha. she was carrying in her
arms a bright little white baby named
Freddie Arthur Allen. Freddie Is bright
little fellow of one month old and his fos-
ter mother thinks the world Of him. Il
suppose" said she, that the white people
will take him away from me-" And with
that she sighed, for she loved Freddie BET
ter by far than the white mother that gave
birth to the boy.
Two weeks ago, on a dreary night. a
stranger came to the coiored Children
home with the baby in his arms and asked
the colored woman in charge TO take care
of il. She directed him to the white
children's home, but the man said
he did not want the baby put
there. The colored woman thought that
if she refused TO take the baby that he
might dispose of it in another way, and
for thu infants sake she yielded. She
asked him for the history of the baby and
be said that week previous to that It's
mother died and for five days the father
travelled in \ wagon and took cafe OF the
baby himself, story that is too improb-
able for belief The colored lady Is
shrewder than the mau took her to be.
aud after some investigation she is salts
fed that both the father and the mother
i've in town and that one of them at least
moves in what is termed good society.
She is by no means anxious 10
give up the baby, and il II
were taken away from her she would feel
bad, for the white baby" is great favor
ite at the home among the five little color
ed waits that find shelter under the chart
able Roof of that humble but very worthy
institution. Freddie, is cute little chap
with blue eyes, and he is fully rs fond o
his 'black nanny" he is of his bottle
He is too young to entertain the prejudicei
of his color against the black race and 81
far as he has gone in life he has more
reason to be grateful to the colored rac'
than he hrs to be to the white, for whet
he came to the home he was a puny little
chap whereas he is now fine plump boy

COULDN'T AGREE.
A Case That Cost Sedgwick County Nearly
Fifteen Hundred Dollars

The jury in the case of the state OF Ksn-
sas against Mart Obel was discharged yes
terday after being kept in the jury room
for five days and nights.
When court convened in the afternoon
Judge Reed called the jury in and found
out that they still ten for conviction and
two for acquittal. He questioned each
one of them separately as 10 the prob
ability of an agreement, and all expressed
the opinion that an agreement was lmpos-
sible, whereupon he discharged them.
County Attorney Boone estimates that
the expense Of the case to the county, ii
the county pays it. will be not far from
81. 500. He will probably object to the
county paying the expense for the reason
that he refused to prosecute the case, be-
lieving, as he stated at the time the trial
commenced, that the evidence was not
sufficient to convict Obei.

GEORGE LlPE.
A Well Known Man Released From the Illinois
TenitentIary.

Nearly all the "men about town. ia
Wichita knew George Lpe. After the
opening of Oklahoma proper he came here
very frequently from Guthrie where he
lived and as he was clever. genial gensr-
Gus fellow everybody liked him.
George has not been here during the
past three years; he had business else
where, and that has been at Joliet Illinois.

itentiary, and a few days ago he Was re-
leased and is coming back to Oklahoma
TO commence life again.
Lipe at one tune owned numerous vaiu
able buildings in Guthrie aud was repnted
to he we'll fixed in this worli's goods. He
spent money freely and really had n host
OF folIowers. Misfortune overlook him,
however, and he was arrested charged
with forging his mothers name 10 deeds
purporting to convey $4,000 worth
of property, which was on interest in
the "Rookery" buiiding iu Chicago.
A guarantee company WAS the loser. and
they set upon Lipe's trail. He was fol-
lowed from Guthrie 20 Old Mexico, but
for a time, however, be was safe. ana the
human sleuths vino were on has trail were
compelled TO await his pleasure. They
had comparatively short time TO wait,
for his infatuation OF the woman who
was then his wife overcame any desire 10
remain away from states prison, and he
endeavored 10 quietly visit Guthrie, land
ing there about midnight. W. z. Hack

resident of Guthrie. he'd a commission
from the Pinkerious, aud withont any
warrant be kidnapped Lips aud took him
out OF town. landing him ia Chicago,
where be stood trial, was convicted and
