built the house in which he now resides,
improved bis farm and gained a com
potency by industry and good manage
ment. He has lived an honest and up
right life, devoted to his family, and set
his children an example of usefulness,
thrift and christian character, which they
have happily copied in their lives.
Ten children were born into their home.
Nine are living and grown to manhood
and ~womanhood. One died in infancy.
Seven were present al this gathering. A
daughter in New Hampshire and a sou in
Minnesota were not there. Their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Jones, who lives with her par
ents, wore the dress in which her mother
was married 80 years before and was said,
by those who remembered, TO be a hne
representation OF the bride of that time.
The house was tastefully decorated in
side and out with evergreen and autumn
flowers, looking as tho II had on It's we'd
ding garment. The services consisted OF
singing, recitatioDs, speeches. original
papers ana poems. Among them were
speaking by the grandchildren, selection
read by Mrs. S. N. Palmer of Morrisville,
q sister OF Mrs. Monkey, an original poem
by DIR. w. l.. Paine OF Royalton, read by
one of the party, a poem written and read
by F. H.. Monkey and remarks by Rev. s.
A. Parker.
There were many presents-too many 10
nRme-but among them were two chairs,
suggesting ease and comfort TO the bride
and groom OF long ago. The presentation
speech was very appropriately madeby their
son, r. ii. Moxley, and the response was
given by Rev. MIR. Parker, who thanked
them all for their gifts, kind words and
cordial greetings In the name OF MIR and
Mrs. Monkey. After benediction was pro
ounced OF the bride and groom, cake,
coffee and ice cream we're served to the
guests, who filled the house and over
flowed the la wi In front.
IL was an occasion long TO be remem
bered by all who visited that "Hillside
farm bringing their gifts and eongratu-
lations to that genial couple who have
walked together hand in hand for fifty
years. $. A. PARKER.

RAILROADS SUITED.
Editor Howe Says They Want the
Snecial Session to Be Legal

1t is a fact easy of proof that the rail-
roads feel that the late special session
of the kansas legislature, called to in
lure the railroads, really did exactly
what the railroads desired the PROOF
is in the circumstance that Mr.. WaS-
gener, general attorney of the Missouri
Pacific, declares that the special ses-
sion was legal, although the attorney
general declared yesterday thaI
it was not. Before the special ses-
sion adopted it's foolish court of vista
ton bill, and repealed the old law reg
ulating railroads, Mr.: Waggener ex-
pressed the opinion with great gravity
that Governor Leedy had no right to
call the special session, and that ITS
acts would be illegal. Mr. Waggeners
change of opinion certainly means that
the railroads prefer the court of vista
ton law to the old law repealed by the
special session. But there is still strong
er proof of this fact: the Kansas CITY
Journal, which is owned by the Santa
Fe Railroad company, is now contend
ing that the special session was Legally
called, although early in the session 1T
held the contrary opinion.-Atchison
Globe
