THAT WELLsvILLE BABY.
An Almost Forgotten Scandal Re-
Vived.
[From the Ottawa Republican,

IFrom the Ottawa Republican,
Some time since a Mrs. Carter. of
WellsVHle, was accused of placing her
new born infant beneath the floor of
closet and leaving it there; the infants
cries were heard by a passer-by, and it

Thursday.
Both young people are very excellent
members of the community and much
local interest was taken in the coming
nuptials.
But the wedding did not take place.
A serpent glided into the Eden Mrs.
Carter came before the county attorney
with plea that young Harrison was
the father of the infant of somewhat
unsaVory note, and demanded his pros

to believe that his daughter would not

close surveillance that the connubiaI

DOMESTIC TROUBLE.
Another Chapter In the John E. Dol
man Divorce Case.

John E. Dolman, who was formerly
an attorney for the Rock Island rail-
road in Topeka, is making an effort to-
day in the district court to secure the
custody of his two children and also to
have the amount of alimony allowed his
divorced wife by the court reduced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dolman were divorced
two years ago and Mrs. Dolman was
given $50 month alimony and the GUS
tody of the children. Since then Mr..
Dolman has left the Rock Island and
is now practicing law in ST. Joseph.
He says that he is no longer able to
pay $50 a month to his wife and also
thinks that the court should give him
the custody of the two children.
Mrs. Dolman is a small woman and
is a teacher in the public schools. She
was plainly dressed as she sat beside
her attorney in the court room, and her
daughter, a pretty little daughter of 8
years, was with her. She asserted that

Roasting Ears in Winter.

An Abilene woman surprised a few
invited guests at dinner few days ago
by placing before them big dish full
of steaming hot roasting ears of sweet
corn. Where in the world were they
shipped from?" was asked by the guests
and they were still more surprised when
the lady of the house informed them
that she tried the experiment of put
ting up a few cans, and that the corn
on the table was from one of them. She
had a timer make her cans about as
high as an ear is long, and big enough
around to hold dozen ears, which she
had cooked about the usual length of
time and filled the space between with
the water, which she had cooked them
in, also with corn which she had cook
ed and cut from other ears. One of the
guests said the corn tasted much better
than when canned without the cob

MINERS WALK OUT.
Refusal of Operators to Pay $500 Per
Day Said to Be the Cause.

Galena, March 22-Thirteen out of ff-
teen ground men employed at the Oska-
loOsa plant on West Seventh street
walked out today at noon because of
the alleged refusal of the superinte ndent
and owners to raise their wages from
$1.75 to 81 per day.
In speaking of the affair one of the
men who quit work said that they had
been promised for the past two or
three weeks that their wages would be
raised to 81, but as the raise had never
come the fifteen men who worked in
the ground decided to make a formal
demand of the superintendent, a Mr.
Howard. Accordingly at the noon hour
the demand was made, which was re-
fused, and at 1 o'clock thirteen of the
men picked up their dinner pals and
started for home, while two others went
back on the agreement and returned to
work.
The men claim that the mine is maxi
ing it's owners an average of $500 net
weekly.

WESTERN LEAGUE ACTION.
In Session at Milwaukee - Players
Being Bargained For.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 22.-The
Western league of baseball magnates
met at the Republican House this after
noon. The meeting was called for the
specific purpose of arranging the play
ing schedule for the season. However,
the makeup of the circuit will have to
be settled before anything else can be
done. The report that Grand Rapids
would be taken into the league seems to
have no foundation. President Ban
Johnson said today that under no cir
cumstances would that city be admitted.
President Comiskey of the st. Paul
team has secured Catcher Chance of
California to play first base and a deal
Is on between Vanderbeck of Detroit
and Manning of Kansas City for the
transfer of left fielder DUNCAN from De-
troit to Kansas City in exchange for one
of Manning's players.
1t is also reported that the season
will open with Columbus in the circuit
but in case the National league aban-
dons the Cleveland territory that Co
lumbus will be transferred to the Forest
City.

ONLY A FEW HOURS.
One Day Left to Register and No Pro
gressive Citizen Should Forget.

The registration books will be closed
at 10 o'clock tomorrow evening. 1t is
important that every person who be-
Iieves in the welfare of the city should
be registered before that time. 1t Will
be too late on Friday.
The fight in the First ward is re-
sponsible for the largest registration in
the city from that ward in proportion to
the population. Every effort possible
has been made to defeat ]. B. Belts,
who was nominated at the Republican
primary on a straight issue in favor of
the municipal ownership of the water
plant. There is no good reason for
turning down Mr.. Belts except par
tisan one and the people of Topeka
will not pay any attention to that. Mr.
Belts is progressive and wide awake.
He is an old and influential citizen.
The registration from this ward is
about 1000.
The opposition would like to defeat
Councilman Morgan in the Second ward,
but they now realize that it is next to
impossible to do so. Mr.. Morgan has
made a clean record in the council dur
ing the two years he has been member
and he is ardent advocate OF city
ownership of the water plant
In the other three wards there is little
opposition to the regular Republican
nominees who have been tried and can
be trusted.

Out at Medicine Lodge.

The Monday Afternoon club has in
augurated a reform which will be high
ly beneficial to the town. It has decid-
ed that if proper trees be planted and
if they be cared for, they will thrive,
and to this end will oversee the setting
out of a large number of trees this
spring. The Santa Fe will make a park
around the station, so Stanton Agent
Bechtel has promised the club, and will
extend the rows of trees as far as the
bridge on the street toward town. The
club will plant trees down this street
from Main street, which, with care, will
make the drive to the station a much
prettier one than it now is. In other
places about town the club will attempt
efforts to improve, and the citizens and
house owners should meet the Monday
Afternoon club at least half way in this
effort to add to the towns looks.-Med-

The legislative majorities In three
states have entailed much worry on
their respective parties for the next two
years on account of a danger that the
popular verdict of last fall may be re-
versed and a United States senator be
lost, all because of a failure to make a
choice. The governor of California is
being urged by the politicians Of his
party to call an extra session that an
other effort may be made. 1t is unlikely
that the masses are much disturbed by
the situation.
