WHERE MEN ARE CARELESS.
Should Provide for the Future of Those
Dependent Upon Them.

Edward W. Box writes upon "When
Men are Thoughtless' in May Ladies'
Home Journal, directing attention to
"the singular fact that the American
man, who Is the best and most thought
ful husband in the world, should yet
De peculiarly thoughtless as to the
future of his wife or children in the
event of his death.
Mr.. Box forcibly contends that the
husband should have his affairs in
such condition that in the event of
death coming to him, his wife and
children, or those dependent upon him
would not suffer. In this connection
he says:
II firmly believe that it is the duty
of every man to he insured. With
Insurance policies to be had at such
low rates as is at present the case,
there is scarcely man who cannot
afford some sort of policy, no matter
how small the amount it may call for.
What seems to the man himself in
good health as small amount for an
insurance policy, often turns out to be
a modest fortune to the woman or
children who survive him. l wish,
sometimes, that the taking ofan insur-
ance policy, on the part ofthe husband
for an amount according to his means,
might be made an obligatory: part of
every marriage ceremony. 1 know
whereof speak when I say that there
are hundreds of women in the homes
Of this land who are daily carrying
with them the fear that their husbands
or fathers are neglecting CT forgetting
to make suitable provision for them as
widows or orphans. They shrink from
speaking to the men of their homes
about the matter. No man can afford
to neglect this simple duty which may
mean all the difference between happi-
ness and misery to his family. Suita-
provision for them he cannot allow
himself to put off, for surely 1t is
true that in the midst of life we are in
death.'n

School Land Loans.

The state officials have been making
trip to Eastern Oregon and return,
and while in Portland,t to reporter Of
the 0regonian, the governor said that
they had made an extended trip to
various points in the state, principally
to look into the validity of the many
mortgages held BY the state for money
loaned out of the school fund. The
object of the trip was to ascertain by
personal examination and interviews
with the various attorneys in each
county, representing the states inter.
ests, what condition each loan was in.
| These were loans made under the Pen
noyer administration and many will
be loss to the state. Some were in
good condition, and ordered renewed;
on others the mortgages were ordered
foreclosed. On the whole and from
the guarded words OF the governor, it
was inferred that these loans were in
the main not in very satisfactory
condition. The governor and his party
also visited the site for the proposed
Eastern Oregon asylum at Union.
The property is still in the hands OF
the parties who sold it the state, and
nothing can be done in the matter
until the question of the constitutions
alty of the sale is DECIDED by the court,
/ Governor Lord also took time to pay a
visit to the Cascade locks, as far as
completed, he was well satisfied with
them. Their completion would, he
said, be a great boon to the state, as,
aside from the advantages as a water
way, the state would be saved the ex-
pense of maintaining the portage road,
which at present Is a heavy burden
on the taxpayers,

and $3.50 for yearlings. The cattle
sold to Mr.. Cornelius were all steers.

OMAHA's BIG EXPOSITION
Satisfactory Progress Indicated by Officer
and committees Reports.


Omaha. Neb., Nov. 1.-THE most i'm
portant matter that was decided by the
board OF directors OF the Trans-Mlssis-
sippi Exposition association at the
meeting this afternoon was the date on
which the certified list of subscriptions
should be sent TO the secretary OF the
treasury. A majority OF the directors
were of the opinion that the list should
be sent on at once, while others were dis
posed to wait until the end of the month
with the idea Of adding the subscriptions
OF the railroads and packing houses. A
compromise was eventually decided on
by which the list Will be sent on next
Tuesday. All committees are instructed
to make up their lists to date Monday
night.
President Wsttles reported that the
committee appointed TO secure session
OF the rans-Mississippi congress dur
ing the winter had made favorable pro-
gress. President Bryan had been seen
and had promised 10 use his best efforts
to have the congress held at Salt Lake
City during the winter and the people OF
that city were very willing 70 entertain
the congress in the winter, instead OF
waiting until spring. as had been orig
inally intended.
Secretary Wakefield suggested that ii
might be a good idea to advertise for
proposals. to be submitted December .,
for the consideration OF the new board
of directors. The idea was discussed at
some length and a decision was post
poned until the next meeting OF the
board.

QUITE AN EXCITING RUN
Horse Thrown From His Feet While Going
70 Fire

Small conf1asratiors IN Wichita are
becoming quite frequent, and were il not
for the efficiency Of the fire department,
the majority OF them would be serious
confagra tons. Yesterday afternoon
about $50 an alarm was sent in from
426 East Douglas avenue. The depart
ment responded promptly and soon ex-
tinguished the incipient blaze, which had
started. The cause of the fire was
leak in one of the pipes in a gasoline
stove. When an attempt was made
to light il, the gas which had escaped
flashed up, and the stove and vicinity
was soon ablaze The fire was soon
put out with little or no damage.
When department No. l turned the
corner of Market and Douglas, the white
horse in some manner was thrown from
her feet. The momentum of the other
horse and the heavy truck dragged the
animal for a considerable distance across
Douglas avenue, but she regained her
feet almost without stopping the trucl,
and went on. She was rubbed up and
scratched a little and sustained few
insignificant bruises, but was not other
wise injured. 1t was rather an exciting
spectacle, and by-standers held their
breath; but when the animal went on
the crowd had words of praise for the
agility and willingness of the horse.

Another source of disappointment 10 the
small audience present was the absence
OF an orchestra for music between acts
to relieve the monotony, which gave the
show a very third-rate color. Some peo-
pie may like that kind of a show, but
they will hardly be found among Wich-
ita theater-goers. The shows that have
appeared at the Crawford 50 far this sea-
son have been good and some very high
class, none of which could entail ad-
verse criticism. but in this instance the
management had been probably deceiv-
ed. or they should not have booked
them for Wichita at regular prices.

People of Sweet Sixteen Without the
Consent of Their Parents The Tcle-
graph Finally BrouSht it and Their
Hearts Were Joined With Their Hands
A streak Of joy and sadness fills the
whole world. Yesterday, when white
hearse passed east on Second street with
tiny coffin containing the remains os
somebody's precious baby, there stood on
the corner. with hands Joined, two young
people who were perfect pictures OF
original, unadorned love. They ate
candy and smiled deep into each others
eyes oblivious of ali the busy world
around them. The young man CT twen-
ty-three was Edward Schauf Of Cod
dard. He was neither handsome nor
accomplished, but there was that about
him which denoted an honest heart. The
smiling little rosy-cheeked rustic beauty
at his side, and whose dimpled hand
was held IN his with the grasp of vice,
was Miss Myrtle Whelply, aged sixteen
sweet sixteen with all its suggestions
of love and poetry. Never did birds on
the budding twigs OF spring bill and
coo as lovingly as they did. Many of
those VINO saw them smiled, old maids
blushed and magnanimously allowed
their eyelids to droop, some few heart
less wretches guyed, and a crank or two
snarled and thought the scene was hor-
rid. There was neither kick, snarl or
guy coming TO anybody. The happy
young couple were all right and if they
had committed any indiscretion il was
that of manifesting happiness and d
pure, sweet love- If it is indiscreet TO
love, then why not wipe out the sweetest
and grandest passages in Scripture, salt
the soul and turn the heart into an ice
house If more went to the probate court
feeling as they did, fewer would go to
the divorce court in after life. These
two young people were going to see
Judge Myatt They had been to see him
early in the morning, but as Myatt did
not have the consent Of her parents he
would not marry them. They went down
to the Santa Fe depot and telegraphed
to Myrtle's mother for consent and after
waiting for three hourse, indulging in !
the sweetness of love and candy, look
ing at the cars and the coaches, pressing
each others hands and whispering love
into each others ears, they received the
telegram Of consent and were on their
way back to the probate court when
they met the silent, solemn funeral pro-
cession. They were duly married. Love |
on, little ones. Love in the smiling val |
ley OF youth, love as you travel up the |
slopes Of maturing age, love on the sum- /
nit of life and cling closer and love har- !
der as you go down the decline, down, |
down, down to the edge of the grave. |
After that, all is love.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed, when the languid eX-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need Of
a tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,
