MARRIED IN PAIR OF PANTS
A Delegation Of Maccabees Of
This City Make a Discovery.
THEY CAUSE A HASTY WEDDING.
The Man Is Dressed In An Under
shirt, and the Woman
In a Jumper.

men composed an outing party OF
the Maccabees, who went to the
woods to take dinner and enjoy
day in the woods
Messrs. A. A, Adams, ". G..
Cook, Henry Platz, Barney From
hoff, Frank Kuhn and jim Jackson.
They stopped at the hsme of
Mr.. George Yeager on their return,
and while conversing, Mr. Yeager
told them that he had couple of
people employed in chepping wood
for him, the one he believed to be
a woman, though she went dressed
in the garb of man, had a mans
action and did a mans work every
day, he said they had worked for
him about eight months and lived
one mile from his place.
When the party left the Yeager
house they concluded to drive by
the place this mysterious couple
was living and take glance at the
situation and see wEat they could
make out of it.
Among them, Henry Platz was
appointed spokesman and he opened
up ON the man in great shape, ask
ing him questions SO pointed and
fast that he broke down and said
his partner was woman, and that
they were living together as man
and wife, and had been for twelve
months He said his same was E.
D. Sims, and his home at Spring
field, Missouri. The woman gave
her name as Lulu Mcknight, and
her home as Houston, Texas.
The man was dressed in a pair of
duck pants and undershirt and the
woman had on blue cotton pants
and a common jumper, and was
smoking a cigarette when the
crowd paid their respects to her.
They we're very much frightened
when Mr.. Platz questioned them so
closely, and when be asked them
why they did net marry, they said
they were not able to pay the ex-
penses, but as soon as they could
save up the money they would come
to the city and procure license and
we'd.
The crewd conversed for awhile
and they resolved to bring the
man and woman in and pay the
expense of the marriage and start
them house keeping on higher
plane than they have been living.
They communicated this to the
pair and they raised no objection,
and were loaded into one of the
hacks and brought to this city and
driven to the court house. Judge
Hamilton and Clerk Sanderson we're
sent for and soon the pair was
made one.
Mr.. Adams presented the bride
with lot Of calics and other APP
parel that belongs to the feminine
gender, also pair of shoes and told
her to get in skirts and stay in
them.
They returned home after thank
ing their new made friends very
profusely, for assisting them out of
an awkward position.

A SOUND POLICY

Hon. A. III. Dockery's recently
avowed platform, as published in the
Lamar Democrat, is so.nd demo.
cratic doctrine. He is strongly in
favor of making the money question
the dominant issue in 1900 A de-
mand for more money and economy
in public expenditures. He declares
that 1.-The annexation OF the Phillip.
pine archipelago is but the beginning
of policy of colonial empire repug-
nant to the Monroe doctrine end
subversive of the cardinal tenets of
republican institutions which have
hitherto guided US during our con
stitutional history"
He recognizes the startling growth
of trusts as necessarily making that
an issue of commanding Importance
The absence of competition stimu
lates the lnordinate greed of trusts
and makes it easy for them to plum
der the people. Trusts are to day
closing factories, dischargipg en-.
ployes, intimidating enterprise, rails
ing prices and thus imposing bur-
dens upon the great producing and
consuming masses. Nothing but
the strong arms of state and federal
power can arrest and destroy this
sinister evil which menaces the
safety and perpetuity of our institu-
tons
He declares it as his opinion that
the democratic party can win in
1900 upon such issues, if 1--WE adjust
our differences in national conven.
ton, the minority acquiescing in the
judgment of the majority"
1t is recognized that Mr.. Dockery's
public record, so well and favorably
known to the people of Missouri,
would be great strength to the
ticket. and what strengthens the
state necessarily helps the national
ticket
While it is early for the party to
commit itself upon q candidate for
governor year hence, 1t would re-
quire very strong man indeed to
defeat Mr.. Dockery for that coveted
honor.

TORNADO DRIVES A PRAIRIE FIRE.

Sweeps 1t Across Country in Nebraska With
the Speed of the Wind.
Colsridge, Neb., April 30.-A
prairie fire burning in the hay fields
along the northern tier of counties
in Nebaasks, ten miles from this
place, yesterday afternoon, passed
into the track of tornado and was
swept with the speed of the wind
diagonally across this county for %
miles, destroying everything in it's
path.
The only lives lost so far as known
were those of Mrs. Rolla Livingston
and her year -old boy.
The woman saw the fire coming
and ran to the pasture to release the
family stock. The boy followed her.
Both were knocked down by the
terrified animals. The fire passed
over them before they could get out
of the way. The body of the boy
was almost consumed and Mrs. Liv-
ingston lived but few hours.
A great many cattle were over
taken and burned. A large number
of farmhouses were destroyed and
the families escaped by seeking ref.
uge beyond the track of the storm.
The path of the fire was nearly one
mile wide.
Some of the losses are: Rolla Liy |
ingston, $4,000; Stanley Martin,
David Walker, $4,000;
Isaac Pritcheit, $4,000; W. A. Ben
nit; Joseph Hodgkin, $4,000; VIM.

The ideal source of bitterness is

The ideal source of bitterness is
attributed to the slowest, most in
active and most fretful organ of the
body-the liver. It is gland-it
produces nothing, it simply secretes
gall The writer is of the opinion
that the average editor dips his pen
too often in gall Led largely by the
expressions of such newspapers as
the Kansas City Times. we have had
some sympathy with the bitter stuff
written anent our Governor. The
recent attacks on him has led US to
a detailed study of the official acts
of Stephens. Result: We find that
most of the rot written about him is
spite pure and simple. The elegant
gentlemen of the gold wing hated
him always and hate him still. Gov.
Stephens may have some faults
who has not? No man has ever found
him really guilty of dishonest
deed He has shown a loyalty to
his friends found only in men of
honor The charge that he organic
ed the Legislature we find was false
charge, the real man guilty received
not the blame that he should. No
longer shall we allow our columns
to echo the growls of men, sour and |
because they failed to die |
ate to Governor Lon V. Stephens.

VOTE TO SAVE THE CHILDREN

The TIMES has no desire or inten
tion to attempt to dictate to the
people of this district how they shall
vote on the school levy. We firmly
believe that if our public spirited
citizens understand that it is neces
sary to vote the additional levy in
order to have q nine months school.
that they will vote it. The argument
used by some who are opposed,
because of lack of interest in our
schools, that teachers wages are too
high, is ridiculous. We are paying
lower schedule of wages than any
district the size in the state.
Any man who favors education
and progress would much rather
increase the price for better talent
than decrease the wages with the
absolute certainty of getting poorer
teachers. To let our public schools
take backward step would he the
worst bsckset our town has eyer
received The additional levy asked
is the same as was voted last year
and is absolutely necessary in order
to continue our schools at the nine
months term. Citizens who now
have children at the school age will
not think kindly of large property
owRers, who have educated their
children in our public schools, and
now oppose the school levy in order
to save taxes The pride of our
state and the safe guard of our
country is our public schools, where
the poor mans children can have
the same educational advantages as
the rich. The man who has children
and doesn't have to pay taxes, gets
the full benefit.
The poor man should rebuke the
to take away those rights
and keep his children in ignorance
for the purpose of saving a few
paltry dollars in taxes.
There is no denying that there is
considerable satisfaction among q
respectable number of the patrons
Of the schools at the management,
and further that this, in large
measure, was resp ensible for the
defeat of the levy. That this is a
Tery unfortunate situation all admit,
put we contend that that fact does
lot justify the disruption of the
chools. The present board is
composed of gentlemen, whom. we
believe, intend TO satisfy all the
'atrons by the selection of the very {
'est principal obtainable. A major l
~ have assured Us that they are |
npledged and intend to do the very e
est they can for the success of the c
chools. I
We sincerely trust that for the /
lterests of the schools and the city t
1at the required levy will be voted g
y an overwhelming majority. Il
