WANTED TO BORROW HIM.

Queer Request Two Women Made Of .
Philadelphia and the Reason Therefor.
A genial Philadelphia, who for OBJ
vious reasons does not care to have his
name printed on this occasion, secured
? parlor car seat on an express train
for Reading few days ago, says the
Philadelphia Record, and as he was
about to pass through the gates was
surprised TO hear himself accosted In
feminine tones with the somewhat
startling question: Please, mister,
could l borrow you for awhile9"
Looking around he found two buxom
women, who hastily and hesitatingly
explained that they were riding on a
pass made out In the name Of . gentle
man and his wife, and, as the gentle
man was not present, they wanted the
genial-looking citizen to place his
bought ticket at the disposal Of ono
lady and take the other one under his
wing, while he personated the absent
owner OF the pass
Which is my wite?" he inquired
with an inward qualm, lest his own sb-
sent better half should hear the story.
"You can take your choice, sir" said
the lady In search Of an escort, and he
promptly did so by tucking the arm Of
the youngest fair one under his own
and leading her into the car. The
couple proved to be right jolly travel
ing companions, and the citizens only
regret in the transaction was due 10 a
fear that the story might leak out and
get home ahead Of him. But 1t didn't.

HIS HORSES AND DOGS KILLED.
Carrying Out the Strange Provisions ,f an
Animal Lovers WILL

At Bridgeport, Conn.,, a provision in
the will Of Francis Ives was lately car
ried out, his fine horses and well-bred
dogs having been put to death,
says the New York World. Mr..
Ives was a distinguished member e.
the Fairfield county bar and rich old
bachelor. Rumor had it that when he
was a young man he fell in love with
the beautiful Miss Julia Jones, daugh-
ter Of Rev. and Mrs. Henry Jones and
granddaughter of Noah Webster. Mr..
Ives proposed to Miss Jones and she re-
iected him. Afterwards she married
Rev. Thomas Beecher, brother Of Hen
ry Ward Beecher. From the time of
her marriage Mr.. Ives separated him
self from the society Of women. He
owned fine stable of thoroughbred
trotters. Two of them, Prince and
Gypsy, were his greatest fayorites, and
as he speeded them he seemed to be
forgetful for the moment and happy.
He owned kennel of pedigr0ed point
ers and settlers and he was an enthusi-
astic hunter. Mr.. Ives died last winter,
leaving large estate. His will made
his lifelong friend, George Hayes, his
executor, and, outside of a few small
requests, left his whole estate to his
sister, Mrs. Whiting, Of New Haven.
But the eighteenth clause of his will
betrayed Mr.. Ives intense affection for
his horses and dogs-an affection
which, necessarily diverted from its
first object, had conferred itself on
them. In this clause Mr.. Ives directed
his executor, Mr.. Hayes, to chloroform
to death all the animals that he might
own at the time of his death in the
month Of June first following that
event. In explanation Of this act Of
seeming cruelty Mr.. Ives wrote in his
will:
II fear lest my dogs and horses will
fall into the hands of some one who
will not treat them kindly"
Mr.. Ives was well known to be a hu-
name and kind-hearted man. His exec
utor considered his order binding upon
him.

In the most exciting part of the
ball game Saturday A. NJ. Fair had
an experience which might have re-
suited fatally. The Union nine, So
called, composed of some Of the May
field first nine, Union first nine and
Union second, were playing the Perth
boys as Union second nine. In the
eighth inning the score was even and
the excitement was intense. Some
home man knocked a fly ball to right
field and one of the opposing club was
a mighty run to catch the
ball. AS the ball touched the earth
only step or two in front Of the
fielder, an enthu siastic shout went
went up, frightening the spirited
driving horse Of Mr.. Fair, who, unob-
served either by spectators or players,
was driving BY from town. The horse
turned square about, upsetting the
buggy and throwing Mr.. Fair out.
Only the great strength and cool
medicines of the driver prevented a
fatal and expensive accident.

ALBEIT LEA, Mimi, Sept. q


DEAR EDITOR: Thinking a few
words about this land Of Spring
wheat, oats, barley and potatoes
would be Of interest to readers of the
VOICE, will give a few items as seen
by the writer. Leaving Wellington
1t 5 a. m. the 18th, we arrived here
1t 2 p. m. the 18th. The Rock Island
being the road over which We travel
ed, a very pleasant trip was had, with
the unspeakable pleasure added, Of
waiting four hours at Columbus
Junction, where We changed cars to
the B. c. & Q. Anyone that has
waited few hours in a one horse
town for the next train, either day or
night, knows that there are one hun
dred and twenty minutes or more in
one hour and twice that many sec.
onds in each minute.
All through Iowa the corn crop
along the route was immense. and
nearly all Of it out OF danger from
frost. Very few wheat or oat stacks
were seen until we reached the center
Of the state. From here on the mum.
Der of grain stacks increased until
from fifteen or twenty were counted
on farm Of l6O acres. Scarcely any
ricks were seen, all grain being in
round stacks. From Cedar Rapids "a
this place, with but few exceptions,S
on either side Of the railroad, is one
great panorama of grain. Stacks,
corndelds, fine farm houses with
large barns, fine orchards; these how
ever got smaller as we travelled north
All the farm houses have groves of
timber growing on the north and west
for protection in winter. The trees
grown are willow, Lombardy and Caro-
lima poplar, cottonwood and Balm of
Gilead.
This county has an immense crop of
all kinds of produce grown here.
Wheat yields from 20 to IS bushels
per acre; oats so to 20; barley same as
oats. Market price of wheat As to 50
cents per bushel; oats 10 to Is; barley
2S to %; potatoes 10 to Is. The
tito crop is out of sight; it has not
been dug yet. One thing this state
and Iowa are short on is the hay
crop. The meadows here and in
Iowa have been damaged by the dry
weather the past two years. Albert

The litigation that has been insti-
tuted to test different portions Of the
judicial apportiOnment acts passed
by the the last legislature cannot
disturb the new district composed Of
COwley and Sumner counties. This
portion Of the law leaves Judge jack
son with district and does not dis
turD him in his Office in any manner.
1t simply transfers Cowley county
from one district to another and
there can be no serious question about
the validity Of that part Of the law.
