Character good !:
1t will be noticed that actors are not
included in the list above. They will be
provided with special tags good for one
week only. An inspector will call at
each of the theaters about the time the
new show arrives and Will take de-
position from each member. This will
be submitted to the head of the depart
ment, and if satisfactory will result an
tags being issued to the show folks.
This new law isn't going to give the
police any discretionary powers. When
an officer meets you after midnight it is
his duty to stop you, light a match and
look at your tag. If you have no tag
on you go to the nearest police station.
OF course il your wife is sick or the
ba by happens to have swallowed an oil
can and you are fastening for physi-
clan this may irritate you, but you must
smile and say: certainly, IL TINS IS the
law, l will cheerfully comply with your
request to accompany you to the sta
ton house, This will make the officer
feel better.
1t will be noticed that no provision is
made for the man sometimes classified
as the FOUNDER And if he is known
as one he will not get a license tag.
This will either save him money ormake
him spend it all in one place after mid
night. OF course, he will have to stay
there till morning, but he probably
won't mind that.
Under the new bill a wife never will
know when to expect her husband home.
He may wander in about daybreak and
tell her he forgot his tag when he left
the house the morning before and had
to stay at the club all night to avoid
arrest.
Senator Mott was not in town yester--
day SO that he could explain the details
of the bill, and the only information
came from a friend with whom he dis
cussed it in a cafe a few days ago. 1t
is said, however, he intends to push the
measure and clear the streets at night.

SMALLPOX SPREADS.
Six Cases in Four Families in Sumner
County.

Wellington, March 23.-The smallpox
In the Bitter Creek neighborhood is
spreading, and there are now six cases.
The disease is in four families.
DR.. J. H. Gwinn of Arkansas City,
said that all of the patients had been
removed to the home of VIM. Jordan,
where the disease first appeared, and
the place converted into a pest house.
People who have been exposed to the
disease are kept isolated.
DR.. Geeslin of Ashton, is reported sick
but it is denied that he has smallpox.
He was one of the attending physicians
when the disease first appeared. DR..
Gwinu of Arkansas City,now has charge
of the cases.

Atchison, Kan, March 23-Mrs. Gress,
whose husband, an Atchison physician,
recently accused her of trying to poison
him, has been interviewed at Wrights-
vile, Pa, where she is visiting relatives.
She accounts for the charges of her
husband on the ground that he is out

over a year ago to take a rest, as he

to rest.
Sentiment in Atchson is universally
with Mrs. Gress, and her husband is
condemned for his charges.

That will be the proper after midnight

crime by forcing everyone who has no
business which requires his attention
after II o'clock at night to keep off the
streets.
To doctors, police officers, newspaper

permission to roam about without fear
of arrest. Everyone who applies for
these licenses must bring his family his

to swear that he is an honest, upright
citizen. The form of the tag has not
been decided, but it will probably look

WIDE TIRES BEST.


A few years ago q number of peo-
pie in this district, says a Canadian
writer in the Advocate, got their old
narrow-tired wagons cut down and
three-inch tires put on, making . very
nice farm wagon. but now there is get
ting to be lot of 2Kx-inch tires, and
these make q track that the three-inch
tire just wedges into and in the spring
and fall when the roads are freezing
and thawing it makes the three-inch
wagons go very badly. I wish you
would point out the selfishness Of get
ting the 2l1.-inch tires. believe it is
to- q great extent nothing but selfish
pess and blind indifference and in some
cases mulish ignorance. have proven
by my own experience, c0nclusively to
my own satisfaction, that 4 three-inch
tire runs easier than two-inch on our
roads most Of the time and very much
better ON the farm. We drew some
stone to town last summer in June.
My man who did the teaming was in
favor Of the narrow twO-inch tire
wagon, but we used the thrce-inch for
a week. and then he took . load on the
two-inch wagon. We loaded about
1000 to 5000 pounds, and he said he
could draw 5000 pounds on the three
inch tires as easily as 1000 pounds on
the two-inch tire. l am in favor of
four-inch tires on our gravel roads, and
il we cannot get the wide tires any
other way. we will have to try to edu-
cate the people to them.

the natural wonders of that magnifi-
cent country. whose grandeur seems to
be estimated more justly in Europe
than at home. Another one was en-

unknown in America and who deserves
to be better known in land whose

some ROAD FIGURES


John NJ. Stahl, editor of the Farmers
Call and secretary of the Farmers Ma
tionl congress, has Investigated the cost
Of wagon transportation in the United
States, and the savings that would be
effected by good roads. His investiga-
tions were made in the fall of 1891, and
were probably the first inquiries into
the subject ever conducted on large
scale. As to the results of these inquir-
les Mr.. Stahl writes:

clever portrait painter. But portrait
work was too tame for the ambitious
young fellow, who passed all of his
leisure hours in the Berlin geological
gardens, where he observed the habits
and movements of domesticated as well
a wild animals. In the course OF
few months he surprised his instructors
and the art editors of the great German
illustrated journals by submitting to
them a series of sketches OF lions and
tigers. These drawing were eagerly
purchased by enterprising publishers
and reproduced in German, Austrian,
English and French periodicals. From
absolute obscurity kuhnert rose at
once into celebrity, his name being as
sociated with those of the greatest
animal painters of the present genera
ton.
Instead of having his head turned by
such words Of fcommendation the young
artist concluded to undertake journey

At Santa Clara, CAL, there is q Bap-
tist church which was built of luln-
ber made from a single giant oak tree.
Under its branches-the first Baptist
service in that region was held, in 1883.
When it was decided to build a church
edifice it was thought best to use the
site of the original meeting place.
With appropriate ceremonies the
great tree. whose shade covered an acre
of ground, was consecrated for its new
purpose. Workmen then cut on the
tree 20 feet from the ground. This
big stump was partially hollow, and
was allowed to stand for the church
tower. A tapering steeple was built
on top of it. The upper part OF the
tree trunk and its huge branches were
sawed up into lumber for the main
body of the church. When the church
stood completed, substantial building
80 feet wide by 70 feet deep. 1900 feet
of lumber remained unusued. A more
sturdy building could not be imagined.
1t is as strong as the old Saxon churches
of England. whiSh were built centuries
ago out of native oak and are still in
uSe.

degrees by the use of this duct.
