The AtchlSOn kas. GlODe says.
OF ten marriage engagements the writer
knows of, eight were broken by the men. The
remaining two ended in marriage, but not un-
til number OF postponcmcnts by the men.
This is terrible state of affairs, but
it is not surprising. The example of
Mrs. Lease and other female patriots in
the state of Kansas has doubtless had a
terrifying effect upon the marriageable
young men. 1t is impossible for even
the most sappy and sentimental young
Kansas man to look matrimony in the
face without starting back in horror.
No young man of spirit wants to be dry
nurse for house full of babies, to be
chambermaid, seamstress, cook and
washerwoman, while his wife is star
ring the country as an oratrix of woe
and prophecies of calamity. Marriage
under any circumstances is a serious
thing, but in the state of Kansas 1t has
exceptional and peculiar terrors. a
vision of the wretched figure OF old man
Lease, with row Of demonstrative and
dissatisfied babies on his knee, engaged
in pathetic effort to train down his
hog calling voice to a soothing lullaby,
has come between thousand pairs OF
loving hearts. We cannot blame the
young men of Kansas. The women of
that state must reform if they want
husbands. They must forswear the
stump or give up the altar. They must
understand that no woman, however
versatile and talented, can raise hell
and children as steady thing with sue
cess. In short, the Kansas woman must
learn to he woman and let the Kansas
man be man. Then love and senti-
ment and courtship and marriage will
blossom anew, and life in the land of
cyclones and whiskers will be worth
living - Memphis Commercial.

Thieves at Work.

The residence of James l.yttle was
plundered one night last week. but it
was not until Sunday afternoon that it
came to light. Byron McKeown and
family occupied the place last fall and
winter, but during the holidays went
east, leaving nearly all their effects in
the house. Some eyil-minded person or
persons, doubtless, got an inkling of the
costly silyerware mostly wedding pres
ents) having been left behind, and gain
ing an entrance by loosening a sash-lock
through broken pane of glass in one
of the front windows they purloined all
the valuabes. Before leaving the rob-
bers were evidently anxious to cover up
their deed by burning the building after
they hal well made their escape. To
this enc they placed a lighted lamp
lchimneylessl IN a wash stand. At the
time mentioned Mr.. Lyttle went to the
house to pack up Mr.. Keown's things,
in response to the latter's request re-
ceived day or two before to ship east,
and few glanCes showed what was up.
Marshal lovey was Immediately sum
moned, and as a coal oil odor pervaded
the atmosphere the lamp WAS found in
the closed stand, still burning and
the drawer above badly charred. The
robbery is supposed to have occurred
Friday night, which was dark and rainy
and well adapted to such an affair, but
there is no clue to the perpetrators.

Why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the
best equipped line; runs free chair cars
buffet Pullmans, and gives you ample
time in Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO or DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east. and makes close
connections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty min
utes' stop at the Falls at seasonable time
in the morning.
For ALL OTHER EASTERN
POINTSp
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.
