A FAMILY DIFFICULTY.
Well Known Man and Wife Who Never
Eat in the Same County.

A case of domestic and political hap
piness under what might at first seem
great difficulties, is shown in the family
of MIR. Andrew Palmer, farmer and
carpenter and builder of this vicinity.
He and his wife always eat their meals
in different counties, while he is taxed
in two towns and counties, although he
votes in one. His house is on the line
between the York county town of Bux-
ton and the Cum berland town of Cor
ham. The town line runs directly
through the house aid across the dinner
table. One of the pair eats in York
county and the other in Cumberland.
They sleep in bedroom on the York
county side, and SO Mr.. Palmer votes in
Buxton. He is taxed in both towns.

once knew q brilliant gentleman who
attributed his cruel misfortunes to his
wifes having placed peacock feathers as
decoration around the parlor mirror, says
a City of Mexico correspondent of the Bos-
ton Herald. He organized big compa-
ny, got New York and Mexican million
aires into it, and somehow they calmly let
him out when the organization was per-
fected. Such things have occurred even in
Boston, and there were no peacock feath-
ers in the business either.

An old woman in a back street, living
in a house with little courtyard which
smells of disinfectants and is adorned by
a shriveled orange tree, earns a living and
puts money in the bank by letting people
see their dead friends in crystal ball!
Only once has she disappointed people.
A Senior Dino went one day, hoping to
see the image of an old flame in the crys-
tai, when his wife popped out from be-
hind screen, and seizing him firmly by
the arm led him into the courtyard, where
he confessed that he had come to see his
dead mother-in-law, which pacified his
wife, for women are SO deliciously incon-
sistent.
If a Tuesday falls on the 18th of the

court on the application OF the towns Of
South Enid and Pond Creek 10 compel
the Rock Island railroad to build depoG
and stop trains has been quickly follow
ed by an outrage.
At 4.20 this morning, a mile south Of
Enid the Rock Island bridge was blown
up with dynamite and q freight train
demolished The engine and a couple Of
cars had passed safely over when the
dynamite exploded, hurting the train
from tho track.

regular north-bound passenger train
from Texas which reached the scens
thirty minutes later and which, but for
the accident Of the freight blockade
caused by the strike necessitated the
running Of extra freights now, would
have been the first train on the bridge.
The outrage is supposed TO be tho
work of men concerned in the bitter
fight between the government town slte5
and the Rock Island road, which has
been waging ever since the opening OF
the strip, owing to the refusal OF ths
railroad 10 stop its trains at the govern-
ment towns.
AT ii O'Clock this morning Fawcett

that he was compelled 10 stand by pow

tearing up the cOmpany's tracks through
the city. In the crowd We're both men
and women. The company had until
last week a large force Of guards along
the track at Pond Creek and Enid ever
since June 6. when the track was before
torn up and q freight train wrecked.
Only a few guards are now stationed in
the places and they are unable 20 do
anything
Vfce-President Lowe has notified the
