ADVISED BY A GHOST.
Mrs. Compton's Dead Husband Told
Her She Gould Marry Again.

MiddIetown, N. Y, April 6.-Mrs. An
geline Compton of this city, after six
months of widowhood, has married ST.
las H. Case of Goshen, one of three
suitors who knew her in girlhood. The
prepossessing widow, it is said, would
not have consented to take a second
husband had it not been for a dream in
which she saw her first husband and
received his consent to the union.
r. Fowler Compton, one of the most
joVial and best known residents of this
city, died October 1, 1898. Mrs. Comp
ton was lonely and disconsolate in her
widowhood, but when her friends sug-
gested the idea of taking a second hus-
band, she Indignantly informed them
that she had too much respect for Mr..
COmpton's memory ever to become the
wife of another.
One night, however, after she had
been thinking of her departed husband,
she had a dream in which it appeared
that her dead husband was at her side,
consoling her in her loneliness and in
tones which seemed strangely natural
he informed her that she had his con-
sent to a second marriage.
1t is said, however, that he also an
formed her she should exercise great
care in her selection of a helpmate, and,
if the man she chose ever illtreated her,
Compton would appear to him.
After some elaboration, Mr.. Case,
widower with several children, was Sc
1ected, and the marriage was celebra-
ted last evening.

and commenced his school work in this
state as superintendent of the Marys-
vile schools, and has been connected
with the educational interests of the
state almost constantly ever since.
During the 80S he was for four years
county superintendent of Cloud county,
during which time he introduced many
reforms in the schools, including county
uniformity of text books, grading the
public schools and other things of like
nature. He was pronounced by his con-
temporaries the most practical super
fntendent in the state. In 1889 he went
to Denison, Tex, and built the Ma
tional Business college, the largest and
most complete building of the kind in
the United States, costing over 800 OOO
His health failing in the Texas climate
he was compelled to dispose of his in
terests in that state and return north
After recuperating, he came to Salina
seven years ago and started the Kan
sas Wesleyan Business college in con-
nection with the Kansas Wesleyan uni
versity, and so great has been his sue
cess in building up his college that it
now occupies one of the largest business
blocks in the heart of the city.
When it became necessary for the COL
leges and educational interests of Sa-
lima to assert themselves in the gov
eminent of the city, in order to drive
out those influences which were hurtfuI
to the schools, it was natural that the
selection of the better class of citizens
for mayor should fall on Prof. Roach,
although for some weeks he refused to
accept a nomination for the place, and
only did so when he deemed it his duty.
In the beginning OF the race he had
three opponents, but two of these with
drew in favor of the third.
If the mayor-elect conducts the affairs
of the city with the same degree of
success that he has the Kansas Yves
leyan Business college the city of Sa-
lima will become noted under his ad-
ministration for it's almost perfect city
government The character Of the man
is best illustrated by the story of the
immense institution which he has built
up, and which has now graduates hold
Ing high positions in the business world
all over the United States.
Prof. Roach became imbued with the
need of a, practical business college by
noting, in his work in the public schools,
the lack of that training which fits the
rising generation for actual business.
He noted the same thing in many Of
the so-called business colleges. Stu
dents were given book learning and
taught how many of the simpler lines
caIly, but they were not fitted for the
actual business of life in world where
competition is keen.
With these ideas in mind, Prof Roach
founded the Kansas Wesleyan Business
college, and the result has been that the
graduates of his school have little diff

MUST WEAR CLOTHES NOW.
King of Siam Issues a Decree Which
Bothers His Subjects and Keeps
His Police Busy.

London, April 6.-The King of Siam
has issued a decree that no children
who are entirely naked will be hence
forth allowed to play in the streets of
Bangkok, and that everv person over
the age of 10 must be clothed from the
knee to the neck. 1t is also made a rule
that all persons entering the palace
must wear socks. Noncompliance with
this order is to be punished by fine.
The decree insists especially on girls
and women wearing Jackets, but as this
is not the mode there it is anticipated
that there will be considera BILE trouble
with the fair ones. A policeman is con-
sidered competent to decide when a per-
son is insufficiently clad, or when a
child is over 10 years of age, and his
judgment on these points is to be final.
The new law came into force Feb
ruary 1, and as only a few people in
Bangkok knew that it had been prom
ulgated the police have had very busy
time of it ever since. The number of
people arrested daily for violating this
of them are Cinnamon, Siamese women
and children of both sexes.
Some Siamese children cover their
nakedness with a silver medal about the
size of a half crown, which is tied
around the body by a string; and it is
a moot point with local jurists whether
this constitutes dress within the
meaning of the decree. 1t is not gener-
ally known, by the by, that these silver
coins are used in order to show that
the children'S parents are able to buy it
a dress if they like, and that it goes
naked not from poverty but by choice.

The People of Salina Elect as

TEMPERANCE VICTORY
Elected as Representative Of the

Built Up Largest Business Col

Salina, April 5.-The public schools
and colleges and temperance element
of Salina won a victory over the liquor
element in the city election Tuesday by
the election of Prof T. w. Roach, gen.
eral superintendent of the Kansas Yves
leyan Business college, as mayor, by a
majority of 125. The opposition candi-
date was VIM. r. Kaffer, a Democratic
merchant.
Prof. Roach, the mayor-elect, came to
Salina seven years ago and founded the
institution which has since become one
of the greatest, if not the greatest, in
situations of its kind west of the Mis-
sissippi. He is a man of great execu-
tive ability, with a genius for organiza-
ton and carrying his ideas into effect,
and it was this quality that made him a
leader in the educational circles of Kan
sas and caused the better element of
Salina to select him as their candidate
for mayor, much against his will

TO FIGHT HITCHCOCK.
New York Merchants Say the secre-
tary Is Discriminating Against
Them.

New York April 6.-An aggressive
movement has been tnaugurated by
New York merchants to arouse the
business men of the east against Ethan
Allen Hitchcock of st. Louis, secretary
of the interior, because of his action in
removing the center for the purchase of
$1,000, 900 worth Of government supplies
for the Indians from this city to Chi
cago.
Mr.. Hitchcock has had some cores
pondence on the subject with Frank s.
Gardner. secretary of the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation, and
Mr.. Gardner, under instructions, has
sent letters to the leading commercial
associations in the east, asking them 20
protest vigorously against the action or
the secretary of the interior.
The New England Shoe and Leather
association has Joined in the movement,
and the Board of Trade of Newark, N.
J., Is preparing to do so. Ernott Sew
ard of the Manhattan Supply company
has appointed a committee to make
formal protest. This concern has fig
ured extensively in the Indian contract
supply business in the past, and its Of
fcers charge that Mr.. Hitchcock, being
a western man. has Disseminated in
favor of Chicago, as against New York
MIR. Hitchcock, in his first letter to
me, said that the bids would be opened
both in New York and Chicago" said
Secretary Gardner of the Board of
that the bids for certain lines of sup
plies which have always been received
here had been ordered to be received in
Chicago.
Il asked In my letter whether 1t was
true that he had ordered the transfer.
He avoids answering my question in
either Of his letters. He led us to be-
Heve that no transfer would be made,
and then we hear that 1t has been arbi-
trarily done.
1T has been the custom to have the
supplies sent to the warehouse where
the bids are opened. If this place is a
thousand miles away from the point
where the goods are produced it in
wolves much risk. Anyone familiar with
Chicago methods knows how surely To-
cal influence might be exerted to in
duce inspectors to condemn supplies AS
there is not much profit in the contracts
this is risk which merchants would
hardly care TO take.
This is the third attempt Of the kind
that we have had to fight. and this time
1t comes in the shape of an effort to
take the contracts away piecemeal."
Mr.. Gardner said that certain large
dealers In groceries in st. Louis and
Chicago have long tried to get the con-
tract for supplying this class of sup
plies to the Indians, and he intimated
that Mr.. Hitchcock's purpose was to
favor st. Louis.
He cited the fact that the secretary
of the interior was one of the founders
of the Commercial club of st. Louis, and
added that the secretary's motive was
apparent to all interested parties in
New York.
