MARRIED WITHOUT A LICENSE
Peculiar Plight OF Popular Weiiingts
Physician.


DR.. T. A. AIeyhew of Wellington was
in the city yesterday. DR.. Meyhew, the
previous evening. led TO the altar Miss
Nellie Aldrich, one of the fairest daush-
ters Of that city. famed for its female
lovliness, and made her his wife. Now
then. that is what the genial doctor
thought he did at the time and he did
not know any better until the preacher,
the good Rev. Henderson. asked hEru
for mis- license after the ceremony was
over and before the pleasant sensation
Of the nuptial kiss mad yet faded from
his lips Then and there the doctor
realized that he had forgotten all about
the license and as a marriage without
license is not legal in Kansas the
happy young couple found themselves
Jared back into single bleSSedness
again. Mrs DR.. Meyhew was not MIS-
Meyhew al all but Miss Nellie Ald.ich
as usual. The doctor pulled out at once
for the home OF Major Ferguson. the
probate judge. and as he did so his
heart futtersd with fear at the thoughts
his fair one changing her mind. But
Miss Nellie wasn't tickle in her love.
She was as fixed and constant as the
northern star in her devotion TO the
doctor and when he returned TO the
brides home he had his license grasp
ed tightly in his hand. The spirit OF
the immortal Mencelshon again fioated
on the perfumed air. the good Rev.
Anderson united them once again, DR..
Neyflew once more tasted the honey Of
a bridal ltss and the sensation of being
married twice In one hour was not dis
agreeable 70 either one OF them. Being
thus wedlOcked dOubly il is hoped their
union may be a long and happy enc.
II was not learned whether the good
Rev. Henderson was subsidized doubly
for his services or not.

WHAT MR.. MAJORS SAW
His Observations In the Gold Fields of New

Il was 80 well pleased with my in
Vestigations and the opportunities Of

my duty to make known to my friends

district of about a forty miles circle
has developed rich placer and quartz
mines. The climate is very pleasant
in the summer and fairly mild IN the
winter for a mountainous country, en-
Ling work to progress successfully
the year round.
Miners of pronounced experience and
ability who have rounded up the entire
West claim for this district that there
Is "a larger per cent OF rich mines to the
number of prospects located than was
ever found in the west; that they are
easier developed and that pay ore is
found nearer the surface. Many pros
poets contain ore rich enough to mill
from grass roots.
The ore is mostly free milling and
can be treated as cost of from 40 to SO
cents per ton, producing the pure metal
VOC alH fnr- IL -
Oldest placer mining district in the Uni
ted States. Many large nuggets rang
ing from $500 10 $500 have been found.
Millions have bene washed out OF the
dirt in the valley and gulches, bua
quartz mining is a new dream for that
country that is just being encountered
and just now is the best opportunity for
"a poor man as well as rich man to
obtain great wealth. One year from
now IL Will cost big money to own prop

be made in the Indian Territory, Kan |

says from $50 TO 5000 per ton. a larger

WHISPERS AND TEETH
They Were the Subjects of Curbstone Dis
cussion Yesterday.

Teeth and whiSkenS were the subject
Of discussion in front of the Eagle office
yesterday by the curb stone Statesmen.
X would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer
unless he heard the argument, to know
where teeth and whiskers came in in a
discussion Of the economic problems.
An Old fellow with a sweaty cap and
ragged whiSkers came into town, sold a
load of cobs for - cents, took a drink
and dH?enliately sailed around under the
shadow OF the bulletin board with a
chip Of debate on his shoulder. His
ragged coat was drawn together over q.

the communicating influence of Chinese
labor. by a mammoth safety pin, and
his trousers were patched so miscellan-
eossfy that II was impossible to tell
which was the patch and whcich the or
igin2L garment.
He announced that this country
had gone TO the bow vows and that
nothing would save ii but the lection
Of Bryan ard the adoption OF the silver
standard.

fellow 5 but who. by the reason of the
natural taste that made him a Republi-

and for an hour the debate lasted.
Look what the tariff did for steel
rails, said he Republican farmer. II
remember the time am so do YOU. when
steel rails We're $3.50 a ton; look a [ them
now. We get our steel rails on the mar
het today for from SIS to ST. a ton.
How many steel rails have You
biught recently. asked the PODllIiSt
farmer. What do YOU and l care about
steel rails? Let us look at something
else. Take for instance teeth. Before
the Mckinley bill we were getting teeth
in r5flis country for half the price which
we are getting them for now
Have You bought any teeth recent
ly?" asked the Republican farmer.
NO. but my neighbor's daughter got
a set Of new teeth the other tay and
they cost her s. moro than they cost her
mother eight years ago. These are the
things we want TO hook at
