The Women of Tennessee.

In the success of the Tennessee Cen
tennial Exposition the energetic wo-
men of that State has been powerful
factor. Their work did not appear upon
the surface until after the gates we're
opened and the grounds were thronged
with visitors from everywhere. 1t was
then noticed that their building was
the most beautiful of all there; that its
interior construction was a model, so
far as exhibiting, seeing, hearing, COM
fort and convenience were concerned.
The next point noticed was the excel
! lence and value Of the articles ex-
hibited in its rooms and halls.
Every woman's industry had there
some product or creation as its expon-
ent; every State showed its friendly
offices in some object of beauty or of
value. The history of Tennessee was
written in curios, relics, paintings,
manuscripts, miniatures and ancient
documents, and suggestions for the
benefit of the women of the State, for
the education of the children of Ten
nessee and for the amelioration of its
existing conditions were conspicuous
every here and there.
Fine taste was manifested in the
sequence of exhibits and in the ar
rangement of objects. Every preoau
ton was taken TO make the visitor
feel at home and to supply any particu
lar want.
Officials were always on duty, re
ceiving guests with charming courtes
and extending to every friend bos
pitality worthy of the capital of tina
heroic commonwealth.
. Their work breathed a spirit O
| American ambition, energy and pre-
, gress. 1t showed that the women {
the Volunteer State were not benin
those in any part of the Union in pi
triotism, public spirit and uuhaggin
: industry.
When it is remembered that Tel
nessee is not rich State, nor Nasl
Vile an opulent city, that the tinanci
resources of the exposition were n
over large, and the women depend,
chiefly upon their own exertions

BAD AS A s.SHIVAREE."
Wedding Franks IN Topeka Society
Getting Worse Each Time.

The principals in the Histed-Roberts
wedding last evening thought to evade
the embarrassing pranks which are
played on young married couples as
they leave for a wedding journey, but
they were much disappointed to find
that although they had kept their plans
absolutely secret as they thought, their
contemplated movements were known
and several young society men gave
them an experience this morning which
they will long remember.
Last evening after the wedding as
the hack drove quietly up to the Rob
erts residence a form appeared from
the darkness and fastened a cowbell by
a chain to the rear axle of the car
riage. AS the couple were seated in
the hack and the horses were started
there was a crash and the bell began to
rattle loudly in the night air At the
same time a large sack full of rice
which had been ingen1Ously fastened in
the top of the carriage, was broken
completely, showering the couple. At
Tenth and Jackson streets the convey
ance was ordered stopped and the bell
was removed. Hardly had the start
been made again until a string of
dozen tin cans was fastened to the
carriage and this frightened the horses
so that stop could not be made until
Eighth street. From here the bride
and groom were taken to the National
hotel, where they Immediately went to
room % and congratulated themselves
that they were at last away from their
tormentOrs. However, the hotel guests
who retired late and those coming in
on midnight trains saw the door of No.
% literally covered with a lattice work
of white ribbon, and the castings plas-
tered with double hearts. Great streams
of ribbon reached from the transom to
the floor Before many of the guests
in the hotel were astir, the door of No.
% was carefully opened from the inside.
and the bridal couple appeared arrayed
in their travelling costumes, as the full
glare of light fell upon the door and
they saw the maze of ribbons, the groom
exclaimed in an undertone, BY Jovel
wouldn't that kill you?" But look
herei" said the bride-and they turned
to read a placard on the door on which
was printed in bold letters:
within is the happiest pair on earth,
They love each other for all they're
You thought you fooled us Cliff and
Name,
But you see we got here all the same. -
As they emerged into the hall there
arose from several cots ranged on eth
er side the manly forms of Walter Bur
CESS, Will Alexander, Frank Edison,
John Waters and Ed Mcbride, who Wed
with each other in assuring the couple
of their deep interest in them. They
followed them to the Santa Fe depot
where they presented the groom with
his pocketbOOk which they had procur-
ed at the house last evening. On the
outside of the car opposite the newly
married couple was the sign in large
letters: Were from Topeka, and just
married. Who cares"

This Years Railway Assess
ments in Oklahoma
Show a Marked Decrease Over
Previous Ratings.
ONE DIVISION RAISED.
Arkansas City BranchIncreased
$500 Per Mile.
Hutchinson & Southern and
KiOWa Division Reduced.

Guthrie, April 29.-The valuation of
railway property in Oklahoma for 1897
which was fixed in March by the terri
toriaI board of railway assessors. shows
quite a marked reduction in some par
ticulars over the valuation for 1896. The
board is composed of Governor w. G.
Renfrow, Secretary Lowe and Auditor
Nichols. The figures made public for
the first time, are as follows:
Main lines, per mile-Atchinson To
peka e. Santa Fe railway, Arkansas
City division, $1,000; KiOwa division
$500. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway, Caldwell extension, $4,000;
Beaver. county spur, 81, 900. ChOctaw
Oklahoma &, Gulf. 81, OOO Hutchinson
& Southern, SO. 600; all side track, 81, 000
The Arkansas City division was rails
ed 5000 a mile over 1896 and the KiOWa
division reduced $500 a mile. The COM
pany's reason for demanding a reduc-
ton was that the kiOWa division was
not paying expenses The Hutchinson
& Southern was reduced $1,000 a mile
for the same reason.
Other valuations remain the same as
in 1896, as follows; Locomotives, 50 900;
passenger cars, 81, 600; mail, baggage
and express cars, S1.500; cabOOses, $500;
house cars, $175; cattle cars, $175; plat
form cars, 500; coal cars, $3.50; hand
cars, $12; Pullman palace cars, $1,000;
telegraph lines, $40 mile for first wire
and SO for each additional wire.
The valuations fixed at the first of
two meetings held in 1896 were some
what higher than the recent valuation
being as follows:
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e railway
Arkansas City division, SO, 500; KiOwa
division $4,000; Cedar Rapids, Rock Is
land & Pacific railway; Caldwell eX-
tension, SIS, 500; ChOctaw, Oklahoma &
Gulf, $500; Hutchinson & Southern,
Sc. OOO
The railways contested the matter in
court and won their cases on the ground
that railways were taxed under a spec
ial law which was exceeded in the in
crease.

the members were invited to Arkansas
