Supreme Court Of Kansas Decides I'm
Favor of a DIVORCED Wife.

TOPEKA. Kan. Nov. 15.-one of the
cases decided by the Kansas Supreme

interest, because it bears upon the law of
marriage and heritage-an almost endless
source of litigation. The question came up
from Bourbon county. and has been upon
the Supreme Court docket for more than
four years.
Some years ago one William Judd,
well-to-do young farmer, who owned a
large farm in Bourbon county. had trouble
with his wife, and she secured divorce
and alimony. as well as the custody of
their only child. girl of seven years. With

was found dead in his smoke house, with
the entire top of his head blown away by
the discharge of a shotgun. 1t was decided

MIR. MILBURN BELIEVES.
Thinks Francis Sch1atter Has Some
Great Spiritual Power.

At the Thursday night prayer meeting
Mr.. Milburn was asked what he thought OF
Francis Schlatter. Mr.. Milburn replied that
he had faith in him. He felt sure that there
must be some power behind him of which
we know nothing. Mr.. Nilburn also said that
he believed that there was a spiritual state
to which we have not reached; that we are
only in the kindergarten of such life; that
the man went into the wilderness and tasted
forty days and forty nights. and when he
came out he was able to perform wonderful
cures when a man goes TO him with
broken bones,' Mr.. Milburn said, ''he openly
and freely says he cannot heal him. Many
infrmities he does heal. Reports of them
come from too authentic sources to be dis
credited. The Bible says, If ye have faith.
even as a grain of mustard seed, ye can

to mean spiritual mountains. He believes
Francis Schlatters faith Is great and be-

statement, recently printed in the
PRESS, that the ship Scien ce, y of Port

gagged in the whale fishery, is not entirely
in accordance with fact. 1t is well re-
membered by old citizens of Wiscasset
that in the same year that the fScience''
was put into that business a ship was
sent out from Wiscasset upon a successful
whaling voyage The golden age of the
whaling business is said to have been in
the years frorn 1885 to 1916. The Maine
Legislature of the year 1884 passed an act
whereby several of the shipowners and
business men of Wiscasset and their asso-
ciates were constituted a corporation by
the name of the Wiscasset Whale Fishing
Co., forEthe purpose of carrying on the

had been built the year before, (1S33), in
William and John Hiscock. That ship

a copy of her register preserved in the

On the first voyage she was manned by
men from Wiscasset and vicinity and
commanded by Captain Richard Macy, an
experienced whale fisherman, who is be-
lieved to have been of the wellknown
Macy family of Nantucket. The ship

three years returned without loss of

In his speech to the Ohio Republican
convention Senator Sherman dwelt
very forcibly upon the dangers
to the laboring man of money
of different purchasing power, and pointed
out that labor would be hit hardest by
the free coinage of silver. 1t is rule
that admits of no exception that the wage
Garner always suffers most from a depre-
ciated currency. The man who owns real
estate or stocks of goods is generally in a
position to hold on to them until things
are adapted to the new basis. In most in
stances he need not sell Immediately. But
the laboring man as rule must sell his
labor every day, no matter what the
price or what the currency he is paid in
lie can't say as can the man who owns a
piece of land or stock of goods, ''I will
hold on to these things until the disturb
ance has gone by and prices have adjust
ed themselves to the new conditions, - for
every day that he waits means an abso-
lutte loss to him. Every day he is idle he
loses days labor, which can never be
recovered. He must sell, no matter what

the condition of the market, and he must
take the currency which the law declares
to be legal tender, no matter how much
deprecated. Experience has shown that
it is always long time before the fall in
purchasing power of the dollar is discov
cred by the laboring man; and good
deal longer time before he can get his en-
ployer to recognize it to the extent of in
creasing the number of dollars paid him !;
and during this time he is subjected to
great loss, loss which is never re-
covered.

So far as we have observed the only
hearty and unqualified praise for Judge
Harlans stump speech on the income
tax comes from Presiden0 Debs of the
defunct American Railway union, de-
funct because of his rattle -headedness.
Debs seems to consider the speech a
sort of new declaration of independence.
But on further reflection we are inclined
to think that even Delo= will withdraw
some of his eulogistic words, for it seems
that Judge Harlan concurred in the opin-
ion that sustained the legality of the
Presidents sending troops to Chicago to
put down Debs, and of the courts pro-
ceedings which consigned him to Jail
When Debs comes to think it over he
will doubtless come to the conclusion that
Judge Harlan might have done much
more for the cause of labor by giving an
opinion in favor Of his release than by
shouting about millionaires in the court
room.

1t is evident from the utterance of Sir
William Harcourt that there is very little
prospect that England will take part in

alterably welded to the gold standard
