ONE WIFE TOO MANY.
Now Jesse Gilbert Finds Him.
self in Jail.

On account of a multiplicity OF wives
Jesse L. Gilbert is occupying a cell in
the county jail this afternoon, Wife No.
1 is bent on sending him to the peni-
tertiary and Wife No. 2 is crying her
eyes out at her home in Oakland.
In the fall of 1885 Gilbert married Miss
Nellie Kvant, whose parents live near
Valencia. They were married by Pro
bate Judge Wood. Last fall Gilbert
went down to Kansas City and his wife
did not hear from him for several
months. She has been living out at
Seabrook supporting herself as best she
could, but she thought her husband
ought to do something to help her, and
she began an investigation to find out
his whereabouts. She located him at
Bonner Springs living with Wife No. =
About the time she made this discovery
it is claimed Gilbert came back to his
wife here and told her he had gotten
into trouble in Kansas City and had
been sent to jail, where he had been
kept for some time, and it took all OF
his money to pay his fine and costs.
Before Mrs. Gilbert made any move
to punish her husband he brought Wife
No. to Oakland and has been living
with her there recently No. swore to
a complaint today, and Deputy Sheriff
Hollis williams and Constable Ross
went to Oakland to arrest him. They
found him planting sweet potatoes on a
farm just east of Oakland
The second Mrs. Gilbert was Miss
Jennie Meyer and she says Gilbert mar
ried her in Argentine on January II
last. She is not much more than a
schoolgirl and declares she will do
everything she can to get Gilbert out
of trouble.
When Gilbert was taken to the Jail
today by the officers wife No. 1 came in
to talk to him. The two sat down in
the Jail office while Jailor Lawson was
booking the prisoner. In the meantime
wife No. 2 was hunting through the
court house, trying to find Gilbert. She
was told that he had been taken to the
jail, and she rushed into the Jail office
and threw herself into his arms sobbing.
Here, here, no scenery here" stern
ly said Jailer Lawson, pushing the pair
apart and forcibly seating wife No. 2,
while No. looked calmly on.
Gilbert was then taken to his cell
leaving the two women to talk it over.
Wife No. l told No. that she har-
bored no i'll feelings against her, be-
cause she thought No. 2 had been de-
ceived, but she wanted to see the law
take it's course with her husband.
No. L declared that she loved him and
would do all in her power to keep him
from going to the penitentiary.
Gilbert will have his hearing Thurs
day,

INDEPENDENTS COTTON MILL
Machinery Has Arrived and the Es-
tab1ishment Will Soon Be In
Operation.

Independence, May 2.-The machine
ry for the Independence cotton mill has
arrived and will be placed in position at
once. This machinery filled Is cars and
cost about $50, 900 The building was do
mated by the citizens of this place to
the enterprise. 1t has been completed
for some time, and the machinery will
be set up at once.
The plant is a %, 500 spindle mill, and
is the first cotton mill to be put in in
Kansas. 1t will draw its supply of raw
material from the surrounding part of
southern Kansas, where cotton raising
is attracting a great deal of attention.
The climate seems admirably adapted
to cotton raising, and the cotton is of
the finest quality. Some remarkably
good yields were reported last year.
In one instance, William Mcfarland,
just north of town, raised 81 bales of
cotton off of 16 acres. Southern Kan
sas promises soon to be one of the
greatest cotton producing sections in
the country.

THE MARCH OF THE cossAcK

IFrom the New York Worldl
The news that Russia has secured
port in the Persian gulf-that is, in the
Indian ocean-is causing in England the
hutter that invariably follows any sur
face indication of Russia's stea1thy but
steady forward movement. For two
centuries Russia has been pursuing a
single definite policy with that infiexi-
BILE persistence which can only be found
in a despotism ever controlled by minds
of the same traditional way of thinking
Russia has been baff1ed and often de-
f1ected. But she has always returned
no matter by how devious ways, to her
original course.
Starting two centuries ago with a sin
gle sea outlet-the Gulf of Finland-she
extended her power until she controlled
the Eastern Baltic and had a free way
into the North Atlantic. She stretched
out to the south until she had gained
an outlet ind the Mediterranean
through the Black sea. She stretched
out to the east until she had reached
position to dominate by sea and land
the eastern Asiatic trade. Down
through central Asia she marched until
she was halted by finding England be-
tween her and the Indian ocean. Lat
terly she has apparently abandoned her
intrigues to break through the English
bar, and has been addressing herself
to the domination of Persia with a view
to reaching the Indian ocean through
the Persian gulf 1t is highly probable
that the acquisition of this port means
that Russia has triumphed has cir
cumvented England and won over Per-
STA to be her actual vassal and depend
ency.

TELEGRAPH FIGHT.
Preliminary Argument is Heard by
Judge Hazen.

The preliminary arguments in the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies lasted until 6 o'clock Mon
day evening. If Judge Hazen had not
adjourned court at that time the at
torneys might have kept on arguing
some time longer. Each one was armed
with big load of law books, and refer
ences were quoted at great length.
The principal allegation set forth by
the telegraph companies why the in
junction should be granted was the
multiplicity of suits. Mr.. Ladd offered
to allow one suit to be brought if the
injunction was made to apply to the
rest in order that the law might be
tested.
Judge Hazen now has the matter I'M
der advisement and is studying up the
references cited. In the meantime the
Western Union is getting ready to put
up a fight. 1t has given notice that
dispositions will be taken in the case on
Wednesday of next week at the office
of George H. Fearons, general attor-
ney for the company, in New York.

REFUSES TO GIVE UP.
A Wichita Judge Will Not Vacate the
Bench For His Successor.

Wichita, May 2.-Police Judge Mitch
ell has defied the citizens of Wichita
who are aiding in the quo warranto
suit brought against him in the district
court, the object of which is to GUST
Mitchell and install E. z. Enoch, who
was elected to the office of police judge
April 4. Mitchell says there is no law
for the election of police judge in
cities of the first class in Kansas, and
that he is entitled to the office by ap-
pointment of Mayor Ross for the term
of two years from last July.
The police are just now raiding the
city of wheelmen who ride on the side
walk, and Judge Mitchell threatens
from now on to put every one arrested
in the city Jail for twenty-four hours
before allowing a trial, if he is molested
further by the quo warranto suit.
Forty wheelmen have been arrested in
the last three days, and the whole town
is in an uproar of protest.

PLAYED THE RACES
And Now q. W. Poole of Great Bend
is Bankrupt.

Wichita, May 1.-The excitement of
the race course and too much frequency
of the betting stalls have played havoc
with the resources of G. w. Poole of
Great Bend, one of the best known men
of the turf in this country, and at last
he has been forced into the bankrupt
cy court Referee in Bankruptcy T. B.
Wall received the petition this week.
and he thinks from the very nature of
the liabilities that Mr.. Poole ought to
be granted the request mentioned in
his petition. In the list of liabilities
there are more than $4,000 owed to
race track men in different parts of the
country, which represents amounts bor-
rowed for the purpose of betting on
horse races. The only creditor in the
entire list who is secured is the firm of
J. v. Brinkman & Co., of Great Bend,
to whom Mr.. Poole owes $1,000. This
note is secured by a mortgage on
farm north of Great Bend. The other
creditors are not secured at all.
Mr.. Poole says in his petition that
the only resources he has outside of
those exempt by law is a one-half in
terest in the Poole & Brinkman ranch
in Barton county, north of Great Bend,
containing about /, 440 acres, which is
mortgaged to the amount of $1,000.

The putting forward Of oliver H. P.
Belmont as the man for Bryan's run
ming mate indicates that there has been
a break in the Croker-Harrison combi-
nation. Chicago's mayor is too shrewd
a politician not to know a Jonah when
he sees one. If he can't get a nominal
ton for the presidency in 1900 without
having it handed to him by the Tam
many boss, he will wait until 1904 and
content himself by making the race for
governor. With Bryan it is different
He is already so strong among western
and southern Democrats that Croker's
friendship can't hurt him.

suppressed.

a month, decided in favor oes the city.
Mr.. Bird has won the opening skir-
nish and if he wins the final battle the
city will be free to do what it pleases
