WICHITA COAL FAMINE.
Weir City rs Up so Cents and One
Dealer Is 500 Cars Behind
His Orders.

Wichita, Oct. 1O-The coal situation
in Wichita is getting serious Not only
is the price rising with almost every
quotation received by the local dealers,
but the scarcity of the fuel is becoming
alarming. One dealer showed a reporter
yesterday his bookings from the month
of August and the books showed that
the dealer is behind his orders over 500
cars, and it is doubtful if he will be able
to fill the orders that are coming in at
this time.
It is quite certain that the price this
fall is based on the scarcity of coal, a
scarcity that has never before been so
great as now.
The price of Wier City, one of the
principal Goals used in Wichita, is now
so cents a ton higher than it was this
time last year, and winter is not yet at
hand. All other brands of coal are cor
respOndingly higher. A letter from the
operators yesterday stated that the
government had prohibited the mining
of coal in the Cherokee nation, where
the KIOndike coal comes from, and it is
probable that that brand will bo off
the market entirely this winter.

A BOTTLES TRAVELS.

[F'rom the Lewiston (Maine) JournaI1
would you believe that bottle thrown
overheard at sea would drift 1900 miles
in a week?'' asked DR.. w. H. Hawkins
of Lewiston at the Exchange hotel one
evening. That was what one did, though.
Last summer when we were on our way
we were four days out It took US eight
days to 20 from New York to HaVre,
France, and the fourth day, Of course,
found half way across or within 1900

DR.. Lipied Lewiston, Maine, y. s. A,
and will receive a reward of IS.
of course we knew we were far from
land, and that the vessel would leave the
bottle in few hours, but we threw it
and thought no more about it. A few
weeks after my wife. who was in Lewis
ton, received the following letter in
French cover, and mailed in a French ISL
st. Agnes. scilly, June 4, 1899.
Z" Dear Sir-You may be surprised to
see that I have picked up your bottle that
you threw overheard from La TOuraine

trance of the English Channel, and are
under French government. The bottle

it. 1t was truly remarkable affair"

QUEER HUSBAND AND WIFE

LF'rom the Philadelphia North Amert-
can.l
With the palsy of age upon them,
Roger and Martha Colt, the tenants of
the divided house" of Roxborough,
stood in the police court. Ever so long
ago, when the hillsides were furrow-
ed by the pIoWs and farmhOuses neS-
tied where elaborate villas now stand,
he took the woman to the cottage Her
hair is white now and very thin, as
faded as her memory of happy days
He was dairyman and she a farmers
daughter Now and for a quarter of a
century back their home has rested
under the shadow of a mysterious
sorrow.
They quarreIed and ceased to speak.
Roger and Martha Colt refused to re-
veal the cause to the magistrate yes
terday. Let those reason it out who
think they can divine what motive
could make utter strangers of lovers,
could so steel the hearts of this man
and wife that they have lived beneath
the same roof for twenty-five years
with never a word for each other.
In what had been the dining room
Roger Colt, after they quarreled, placed
a stove, bought utensils, and thereaf-
ter cooked his own meals there, ate them
there lighted his lamp and read there
at night-aIways alone. In the kitchen
Martha Colt lived the same way. on
the threshold of one OF the Two ped
chambers upstairs Roger Colt never
placed his foot. Once week he would
kneel before the door and push some
paper money under it. If husband and
wife met on the stairway they looked
straight ahead and tried to avoid
brushing against each other
Then years ago Colt gave up his busi-
ness. Since then q small income has
been his, and he has divided it with the
woman. But for the last month he had
failed to push money under the door.
She never spoke word to him about
it, At the fourth week she went to the
police court-her groceryman advised
this course-and swore out a warrant
charging her husband with non-sup-
port
A Roxborough man had informed his
honor of the queer lives led by the ten
ants of the divided house.
Cracked and wavering arose the voice
of withered Roger Coit
Il amt got no wish to stop support
in of her." said he. But the money
what I git every month were held back,
an I won't git it fer two weeks yet
Then I'll pay her same as ever. didn't
think she'd want fer nothin'. The store
keepers up in Roxborough'u trust her
fer whatever she wants. They told me
they would
I amt wanted fer nothing" quav-
cred Martha Colt, Il jest thought he
had stopped payin' me fer good
Pm discharged, amt I?' asked Rog-
er Colt.
Yes said his honor.
With the aid of a heavy stick in his
shaking hand, the old man walked out.
After a little the woman went.

From an Atchison correspondent:
''Atehison is full of the remains of Ed
Howe's corn festival. Along the brick
sidewalks corn lies in pIenitude in the
cracks between the bricks. The corn
festival is a new thing. and people are
not tired of 1t. Speaking of Ed Howe
It is learned the late festival cost him
alone $500. But Ed is able to stand it.
He probably makes more money than
any newspaper man in the state. He
has the full sweep here. You seldom
hear of any other paper here. Mr..
Howe lives in an elegant home, hand
somely furnished and his paper has a
large circulation and rich advertising
patronage. He seldom goes away from
home. He is very industrious and
writes many locals himself. His chief
assistant is Miss Garside who has been
in the Office for 10 years, and knows as
much, or more, than Howe"

the big stores out of existence by means
of high license on each class of goods
handled. The court has issued a man
datory writ directing the city authori-
ties to issue a license to the Townsend
G. Wyatt Dry Goods company, COM
plainants, at the rate in vogue before
the new law was passed.
Judge Woodson's decision covers all
the points involved in the controversy.
Five reasons are given why the law
is contrary to the constitution of the
state:
First-The legislature attempted to
delegate to the state license commits
siOner the power to fix licenses at some
figure between 5000 and $500. The leg
definite, as this law permits of unjust
and dangerous discrimination
SecOnd-It is class legislation in that
it is provided that stores employing 16
clerks shall be amenabIe to the law
while those employing but Is are ex-
empt from paying the department store
license.
Third-The license is not made uni
form, as the license commissioner
could make rate of $500 for each de-
partment in a store in Kansas City,
$400 in St. Louis, and $500 in St. Joseph
The tax should be made uniform
throughout the state to be legal
Fourth-The law IS very lame In its
classification of cities The cOnstitu-
those having a population of from 80
900 to 100, 900. This law is made to apply
to cities having a population Of $4,000
or more. 1t is evident, therefore, that
some cities of the second class are sus-
ceptible to this law while others are
not, and it is clearly the intention of
the constitution that they should be on
an equality in all things.
Fifth-The law deprives owners of
department stores of the constitutional
right of protection of life, liberty and
property, which shall not be taken
away without due process of law. The
word liberty in this connection is used
in its broadest sense and is held to
mean the right and privilege of engag-
ing in any legitimate business of any
kind or character.
The suit in which this decision was
rendered was brought by the Townsend
& Wyatt Dry Goods Co. against the
city auditor, city comptroller and city
treasurer, who refused to issue a license
unless the tax under the new law,
amounting to $1,200 was paid. Under
the old law the license for the remain
der Of the fiscal year would have been
$500, and this amount was rendered by
the firm. This was Sept Is, and the
suit was filed the same day.

kearney County to Experiment
ON q Mammoth Scale.
Prominent Kansans Wish to Es-
tsblish a Municipal Dairy.
OCCUPY A TOWNSHIP.
State VIII Be Expected to Do
nate Land For the Purpose.
Thomas Parker, of Hutchinson,
Asked to Promote Enterprise.

Lakin, Oct. 1O.-The people Of this
section are working for the securing of
an experimental dairy farm on a large
scale. This county is considered an
ideal location for such a plant
Recently Mr.. Thomas Parker of
Hutchinson, a gentleman well versed in
creamery matters, was in this city
looking up the prospects for such a
dairy farm in Kearney county
Several prominent men of the state
have conceived the idea of starting an
experimental dairy farm of one thous-
and cows and have the state by act of
legislature donate or give the use of a
township of land for that purpose, pro-
vided Mr.. Parker can be induced to
head the enterprise. No man in the
state stands higher than Mr.. Parker in
the creamery butter trade, and with
his long experience and thorough infor-
nation on the advantages of this sec
ton, the enterprise could not be other
wise than a complete success. The
Shady Grove creamery, which he owns,
has thirty-fiVe Skimming stations, and
pays out $250,OOO annually for butter
fat. It is thought the move will be
pushed to a successful issue.

ELoPEs Ar SO YEARS.
Farmer Goodman's Children Oppose
His Marriage to Bride of 73.

Holton, Oct. 1O.-A peculiar wedding
took place here d few days since and
the happy couple will shortly leave for
a. tour of Europe.
The parties to this wedding were Mr..
Hatton Goodman and Mrs. Justin K.
Klusmeier. They were married by Rev.
c. W. Stauffer. The bridegroom is SO
years old and the bride 73.
For many years Mr. Goodman has
been a farmer and stockman and Mrs.
Klusmeier lived there quietly with the
children. Recently they have been
much in each others company, and
finally, when marriage was proposed,
their children and grandchildren made
such heroic objection they were almost
dissuaded. Finally they each decided
to divide all of their property except
their homes among their children, and
after having all the details arranged
legally. they slipped quietly into Hol-
ton, were married and went to Kan
sas City. The joy of being relieved of
all business cares and travelling pleas
ures quite charmed them and so they
have planned the European trip and
expect to leave for there soon. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodman appear to be
greatly pleased at the success of their
plans for the elopement, and laugh glee-
fully over the way they beat the oppo-
SitiOQ.

The Ohio campaign is developing
some interesting situations. Some so. 900
voters are said to have signed petitions
praying for the placing of the name of
Golden Rule" Jones, mayor Of Toledo,
upon the official ballot. Republicans
claim that Mr.. Jones' vote will come
out of the Democratic ranks and the
Democrats profess equal certainty that
his supporters will be deserters from
the Republican cohorts. 1t is the first
time in political history that either
party has ever been known to accuse
the other of favoring the golden rule in
politics or anything else.
