COTTONWOOD SPRINGS, Aug. H.
After a months outing the manager
of Cottonwood Springs has again re.
turned and from now on can be found
fright in the midst of the fight"
greatly improved in health. During
his absence the management of the
Springs has been in good hands in the
person of Major Kauatzer, who Informs
US that people have been swarming to
this health-giving resort like guails
| around a shock of fodder.
A. q. Gass' team ran away the other
day and his wagon was badly disfigur-
ed. His colored hired boy left them
standing to get a watermelon and the
team became frightened at a passing
train.
Capt Glenn is feeding % head of fine

The Misses Chance, of Centralia, who
recently visited Miss Kanatzer, will
shortly return and spend the rest of

A young lady living near the
Springs has four young gentleman adj

| and the time has come for a halt, at
least for three of them. She cannot

loves best and has decided to place
three blank cards and one name in a
hat and let the boys pull for the prize.
We sympathize with the ones who

An effort is being made to have
Mexico's out-of-sight Band give con-
certs at the Springs at least once q
week. This will add much to the
pleasure Of our music-loving people.

MARRIED. TO AN INFANT.
The Enforced Wife Of NJ. &. Smith,

Old.

CARTHAGE, Mo-, August A.
The marriage of M. G. Smith, aged
81, and Maggie Wilson, who is de,
clared to be IL but who, it is now
declared, was only 10 years old
June "a, aroused so much indigna.
ton when the couple returned to
their home at Reeds that Smith
was forced to flee for safety.
W. H. Roper, of Reeds, came to
Carthage last night and is taking
steps to have suit for divorce brought
in behalf of the girl by her guard
ian, j. F. 1ontsey, who was ap-
pointed on the spur of the moment,
to give his consent to the license
on Friday evening.
The child wife states that she
knew nothing of the proposed mar
riage till she reached Carthage,
when Smith told her that she had
to marry him. She was keeping
house for him and reluctantly agreed,
hardly knowing what the proposed
marriage meant.
The grand jury will investigate
the case when it meets next month
and, in addition to the divorce pro
ceedings, Smith, if located and
caught, may be dealt with for per-

The Mexico ClOthfers,
4 Mistake.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean

AN >hnSoSV AutSA ottaut
The arrest of the Populist leaders
in Indianapolis on Sunday was a
mistake. 1t vas a mistake even il
the violation of the ordinance or law
be admitted. 1t is not the custom
to hold political meetings on Sun
day. Men who have any respect
for the convictions OF their neigh
bors would not do such a thing.
Disrespect for the Sabbath will not
make votes for any political party.
If the Populists are willing TO make
a record on this Sabbath question
let them do it. The majority of
them are seeking notoriety through
martyrdom, and the arrest of those
most conspicuous in the meeting on
Sunday was like the burning of in
cense before them. 1t gave them
the opportunity they were seeking,
and from this standpoint was a
mistake.
The men who instigated the ar
rest simply played into the hands
of the scheming Populists. The
story will be told in the anarchistic
and socialistic groups of the Popu-
list party to inhame those who are
seeking an excuse to ignore the law.
1t is so clear that the policy of the
Populist leaders is to court notorie-
ty in this way hal officers of the
law should be unusually discreet.
Nearly every spectacular demon
stration on the part of the Populists
has ended in farce. There never
was "a more complete failure than
that Of the Coxey movement lnau.
sgurated some months since. 1t was
treated as a joke, and in spite of all
the projectors could do it was a
ljoke to the last, and benefited no
one except men like Coxey, who
used it to advertise themselves.
A great many earnest people have
been misled by such leaders, but to
alter an expression of Lincoln's,
"You cannot fool even a part of the
people all the time" and there is
sure to be an awakening. People
who are honestly in the Populist
movement may be safely left to the
natural evolution of opinion. Those
who r in it tor notoriety may be
safely left to the care of those they
have tried to mislead.
