Down at Beardstown they have a
divorce case extraordinary in pros
pect. The Star says: I'VE are told
that there is n divorce case on tap in
this county in which the man, who
has been married only short time,
will make the plea for the same upon
the singular ground that his wife
will not cut her toe nails. This is
most serious chrrge. and if the di-
vorce is granted it will be lesson to
young women that they will do well
to heed. This poor man says that he
is SCARED from the small of his back
to his heels by the deadly toe nails
of she who only five months ago
promised 10 love, honor and obey
him. He has repeatedly asked her to
have her toe nails cut. but she has
turned deaf ear to all his entrea-
ties. Certainly there is nothing
pleasant. when one is sleeping peace
fully, in having q toe nail rake man
from Genesis to Revelations. and an
jury would grant the request of tn.
plaintiff. Girls who are about to en-
ter the solemn state of matrimony
should see to it that their toe nail.
are cut. as there can be no happines.
where the long toe nail, which nevcl
sleeps. gallops at the dead hour o
night, when church yards yawn
Mothers should inculcate the virtue
Of short toe nails into the minds o
their daughters. A wife who snores
or who CRATES her teeth in her sleep
is bad enough, but one who has to
nails like clam shells, is a terribl
fate to overtake any man."

It is expected that fully a carload of

''In regard to the grand opera festivals

WHY EARNEST WAS BEATEN

told JOURNAL reporter tod that he
was squarely beaten so far as the opposi-
ton to him was concerned, and that there
will be no contest of Mr.. StephensOn's
seat. He says his dee was due to the
apathy of his friends. "They thought
had a walkover," Earnest, says, sand
didn't take the trouble to vote The stay
at-home vote was mine, not Stephenson's
/ think Stephenson polled his full vote,
but there were 1000 who didn't vote at

is not what and my friends had reason
to expect Some Of my friends must

GOT 1T AT LAST.
Topeka Club Barn Burned-Let the Po-
lice Patrol the Alleys at Night.

lice Patrol the Alleys at Night.
An incendiary again set fire last night
| to the barn at the rear of the Topeka
club house on Sixth and Harrison streets.
1t was the second time this week the fire
department has been called out to extin-
guish blaze in that barn. This time,
however, the fire gained considerable
Roadway. 1t had made its way from the
floor to the roof before it was discovered.
The efforts of the firemen were directed
towards saving the club house and the
house asross the alley. As it is, the club
house will probably have to be repaint-
ed The loss was about $500. The build
ing belongs to A. s. Davies, now living
in California.
1t is stated that nobody had been in
the barn for several hours. So far as
known there was nothing about the build
ing that could cause spontaneous COM
bustion, and there were no electric wires
to do the work. Incendiarism therefore
seems to be the logical explanation of
the tire, especially in view of the other
recent mysterious attempts.
1t is time that t.Jack the Barn Burner"
were caught and brought to justice. This
cannot be accomplished unless the police
force gets hustle on it. A judicious
patrolling of the alleys might have the
desired result. The police force is not
big enough to cover all the alleys, but it
would be good policy to do this as far as
possible. All persons lettering in the>al-

An Impntation Made Against Mr.. Bone
brake Refuted by II m.


brake Refuted by II m.
Mr. p I. Bonebrake president of the
Central National bank. said to jour
NAL reporter today in regard to the vex
ed pavement question:
Sat a meeting of the city council the
other evening Mr.. Fellows made some
remarks evidently intended for me. Tie
substance of the remarks being that l
had an interest in the Barber Asphalt
company.
81 would care nothing for the remarks
but for the fact that similar remarks
have been made several times in the city
council prior to this date.
Il am frank to say that L would be
glad to have an interest in that company,
as they are doing a large and prosperous
business in many of the larger cities
1.-THE facts are. however, that 1 have
not now nor ever had dollars interest
in that company nor in its business in
come or profits. with others went on its
bond because / wanted to see the it Z
improved since they had furnished
ample and satisfactory indemnifying
bond. / make this statement 50 that
hereafter any person who states that /
have any connection with that company's
business, may know that they utter de-
liberate fa1sehood.
II favored the Trinidad asphalt be-
cause in my opinion it makes the best
pavement in the world. l reach this
conclusion after seeing it in use in Phil
adelphia and Washington.
81 saw the pavement on Pennsylvania
avenue after it had been in use fifteen
years with a traffic on it in one day equal
to thirty days on Kansas avenue and il
remains one of the finest streets in the
world. Every American who has seen it
is proud of 1t.
aBut the pith Of the whole matter and
of much more importance than mere per-
sonal matters is the fact that the streets
need repairs and the public not the lot
owners should pay for such repairs.
As 1 said once before the lot owners have
invested in the pavements more than
half million dollars, furnishing thereby
good ravements for six years without
cost to the public. Now when some re
pairs are needed justice equity and "a
decent respect for the rights of lot
owners demand that the public should
pay for such repairs"
