description of his family troubles and
wants to know what he would better
do about it. 1t is a serious case: 81

daughter. My father often visited
us and fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. Thus he

daughter became my mother because
she was my fathers wife. Soon after
my wife had a son which was MY
fathers brother-in-law and my uncle
for he was the brother of my step
mother. My fathers wife also had a
son, He was my brother and grand
child, for he was the son Of my daugh-
ter. Accordingly my wife was my
grandmother because she was my

An Electric Light Novelty.

The new colored globes for cleo
trio lights are a great invention. An
Abilene papa has arranged to use
them to advantage on his front porch
He has three handsome daughters
and there is more or less confusion
among their best young men about
the night for calling. He has secured
three globes, red, green and white,
each representing one of the daugh-
tiers. 1t is understood that when the
red light shines over the front door
only the daughter for whom it stands
is receiving; so for the others. 1t is
a great convenience and the young
men save many fruitless call there
by. They have, however, one sug-
gestion: that the light be hung over
the middle Of the avenue so that they
can see it afar off.

WILL MAKE TROUBLE.
Revenue officers Are Investigating
the Stamp Observance.


Internal revenue officers, one Of
whom is W. M. Wallace, past grand
master workman of the A. 0. U. w.,
are investigating the county officers of
the State to see if documents are
properly stamped. In this county
very few of the minor officers bonds
have the 50 cent stamp and the COM
missioners have asked the officers to
fix the matter. Mr.. Wallace says
they will visit every county and re-
cord the names appearing on every
unstamped bond. He adds; "There
will be short time given for those
who have filed these documents with
out stamps to come and attach the
stamps. Unless this is done, we will
commence suit in the federal court
against every party who has an I'M
stamped bond on file and also against
the official in whose office the bond is
filed. The law holds the party who
files a document unstamped equally
liable with the officer in whose office
the document is fled
The failure on the part of the coun-
ty officers to have documents stamped
is due to misinterpretation of the
law.

HOW COWBOYS Didn't.
Joe Mccoy Tells About a Gillett Of
Early Times.

"Grant Gillett is not the first cat.
tlemqn to jump the game when he
he owed money, and lived to see the
mistake he had made" said Colonel
J. c. Mccoy, Abiene's first mayor
but now live stock inspector at Kan
sas City. away back in the early
days of the cattle business when |
was at Abilene, the ranchmen would
drive big herds from the southwest
and hold them on the prairies there
for shipment. 1t was customary for
them to borrow money from bankers
and business men to pay their surplus
help and buy provisions while in
camp, and such loans were always
made, One man from Texas borrow
ed literally once at Abilene and
junction City, and when he sold'skip-
ped for Texas without paying.
1.-The bankers held a meeting with
the other Texas men there and said
not one cent more would be loaned to
cattlemen until the Texas man was
brought back and forced to pay up.
A delegation of cowboys was sent
down the trail after the dishonest
fellow, and a few weeks after rode in
to Abilene with the man in custody.
They had no authority but the law of
might, and the stockman submitted.
He paid all he owed, and all the ex-
penses of the men who went after
him and made no objection to doing
it. He was glad to get off so easily

FOURTEEN DEGREES BELOW.
Mercury Dropped Out Of Sight for a
Few Hours.

The temperature last night was the
coolest since Feb. 7, 1895. 1t was IA
degrees below zero by the signal SER
vice thermometer, but being still and
clear caused less suffering than a
higher temperature with wind. But
once in the records of the signal SER
vice has there been colder weather
and that was in January, 1892, when
the register was 10 below. Frozen
ears and fingers have been the fate of
those compelled to be out Of doors
and coal men have been kept busy.
Warmer weather is promised for to-

Law and PRINCIPLE.
TW0UNION TEMPERANCE MEET.
INGS SUNDAY EVENING.
Rev. DR.. Haithcox's Able Discourse
on the Principle Of Prohibition
Is the First Duty Of Mankind to
Obey Law.

Two union temperance meetings
were held last evening, one in the
Methodist and one in the Lutheran
church. The former was addressed
BY Rev. H. V. Scholes, the latter by
Rev. DR.. Haithcox.
DR.. Haithcox had for his subject
"The Principle Of Prohibition" and
it was a scholarly and well prepared
sermon. He emphasized the fact
that it was the principle and not the
law under discussion. "'Che law is
the formulation Of principle for spe'
ciic and temporal uses, The law
may change but the principle re-
Mains" We find the principle in
revelation, concerning the tree OF
life, and in legislation for Israel, the
foundation Of all human legislation;
also in the legislative and Judicial
writings Of men. He quoted many
supreme court and other writer's on
the right to propibit evil. Chased
upon divine example, approved by
wise human Jurisprudence, adopted
BY the sovereign citizens Of our State
we have the prohibitory principle
formulated in constitutional, statu-
tory and municipal law. The ques-
ton is what shall we do with it? The
first thing to do is to enforce it.
"First, because it is our own law,
made by a majority Of our citizens. 1t
is my law and your law. Self respect
demands support of it. II Kansas
does not respect her own laws she has
no right to ask sister states to respect
them.
"Second, patriotism demands the
support of our laws. Patriotism is
loyalty, obedience to law.
Third, true ethics requires that
we keep our laws. The prohibitory
law is for the protection of good names
Of homes and of character. The sa-
loon is admitted even by saloon men
themselves to be evil. The law is an
effort to reduce the evil. Test it by
enforcement. No man has a right to
evade law. No man has a right to a
choice contrary to the law OF the gov
eminent under which he lives. A
criminal has no right to sympathy
against the law. The State can be
satisfied with nothing but obedience
TO its laws.
Fourth, obedience to law is the
divine command. This, for Chris
tian, is the mightiest OF reasons"
Closing he said America claims to
be advancing, disregard for law does
not look upward but downward
1.-The civilization of the saloon is at
the bottom-material argument is its
only plea, liberty for the senses is its
pretentious claim, degradation of
its result. As man and
home rise, the saloon disappears. 1t
is not of Gods planting. Every plant
which our Heavenly Father has not
planted shall be rooted up-so said
Jesus Christ"
