As A matter of fact it isn't the easy
divorces that is bringing sorrow and
Indebtedness; it is the easy mar
riages. If the laws were such that
two people, unmarried, were obliged
to convince court that there were
good reasons why they should wed,
as two people, married, are now
obliged to convince a court that there
are good reasons why they should
part, good many people would be a
good deal better off.

ELI THAYER, member of Congress
from 1856 to 1860, and originator of the
Kansas "crusades," died at his home
i'm Worchester, Mass, Sunday morn
ing. 1t is safe to say that if it had not
been for Eli Thayer Kansas would
have come into the Union as slave
State and if that had happened what
Il different record would have been
written here these past forty years.

The official census shows that lola
gained something over five hundred
population during the past year, but
as a matter of fact its gain was at
least twice that number, as a very
large proportion of the new Corners
located ON the newly plated additions
which, really "a part of the city, are
not yet included within its official
limits. 1t is safe to say that lola has
a thousand more people than it had
last year, and it is also safe to say that
it will have two Thousand more next
year than it has now. lola is going
to break the record this year.

sally it would be mighty cheap
way to run am army.

ACTING under ord ers of the mayor,
the police of Topeka notified the joint
lists of that city that they must close
their places Of business or go 10 Jail,
And the dispatches state that they
promptly closed. The question that
arises is, if it is so easya thing as that
to close up the joints, why all this talk
about the impossibility of enforcing
prohibition?

IN its page write up of Col. Funston
the New York Word pictures his wife

two weeks after the regiment, and
that every paper in New York City,

not in the least embarrass the WOrIa

The object of this plan was said was to

evas known OF the matter. and it was
not believed that the company had Sc
cured any wharf here. at least for the

company to secure e wharf, but every
thing was brought To a very abrupt
termination. and the clyde line agents
left the city.
IL is now said that the wharf at the
foot OF Tockwotten street, on the east
side of the river. which is owned by
the Thomas J. Hin estate. has been
secured. but no Information To that ef-
feet could be secured.
