Fifty-Nine Divorce Cases Dis

MANY MARRY AGAIN.

Wichita, April Yesterday was di-
vorce day in the district court, and fifty
nine were dismissed. Last fall the old
dockets were searched and every divorce
case that was found, and not settled, ac-
cording to the evidence of the records
was put on the docket for the January
term and was assigned as any other case
would be.
tt seems that a decree of divorce is not
operative until it is properly recorded and
filed away in the archives of the court.
In something like 500 cases. extending
back several years, this was not done for
the reason that the parties neglected to
pay the costs in the case, and no costs,
no record. That. at least, was the theory
the clerks always went on When all
these old cases were dug up from the old
records they were published and that was
the means of bringing a great many peo-
pie into court who furnished evidence of
having been divorced, paid the costs and
had the facts recorded. Those who failed
to come in and do likewise were those

people who had supposed themselves di-
VCrced are still married and must bring

INSURANCE SOCIETIES.

Webb McNall, superintendent of in
surance has turned his attention to the
many beneficiary and fraternal organi-
cations, which during the past few
years have sprung up, and some OF
which are really mushroom concerns
which burst and cause loss to those
who invest in them
A few days ago Mr.. McNall received
from Frank L Martin of Hutchinson a
letter inquiring about the Mutual Pro-
tective association of the United Staes,
headquarters at San Antonio, Texas,
B. Schuedle, supreme secretary.
Mr.. AIcNan received a similar in
quiry from @. G. Campbell of Galend.
to both of which he replied that the
company is not authorized to do bust
ness in this state and advised that 1t

The Kansas law does not apply to
beneficiary or fraternal organizations
having been passed in 1893. The by
laws of the San Antonio society pro-
vides that the first regular monthly
meeting shall be held in January, 1896.
From this the superintendent infers aht
the association was not in existence in
1893, following which he says in the let

day:
You are not under the control of a

Describes His SuHerings While On
dergoing Treatment

New York, April AFTER undergoing
treatment of a very painful character
for his eyes, Chauncey NJ. DepeW has
had his sight fully restored. His vision
had been threatened by an attack of
iritis, and the remedy involved great
suffering.

pew, what Chinese subjects, who are
prodded with spears and needles that
they may be kept from sleeping. until
they die of exhaustion, suffer. I have
suffered all that For three days and
three nights ice was applied to my eye
every five minutes. and for one day and
one night every three minutes. Each
application of ice was just like pune
turing me with a battery of needles
I am a man of sound constitution
and strong nerves. But for that I
should have remained awake after the
torture was over until I died of ex-
haustion. OH how I wanted to sleep
when, at the expiration of each five
minutes, they put that torturing ice on
my sensitive eye, and oh. how I de-
clined to sleep when, after four days,
they ceased to apply it.
Although 1 am not permitted to
read, yet my sight has been restored.
1 attend to business here at home every
day, and I am promised that I may go
out on Monday.
