His Conscianoe Awoka

The Kingman Leader-Courier reports
a remarkabl case of conscience awak-
ening which took place down in Barber
county. A man was in jail under charge
of committing a statutory offense. In
order to marry a girl and escape the
consequences of his crime he had
brought suit for divorce from his wife.
The divorce suit came on for hearing
first, and when the prisoner was
brought from the jail he avoided his
attorney, walked straight up in front
of Judge Gillette, and spoke in a firm
clear voice as follows: Judge Gillette,
l want this divorce case of mine dis
missed. While I have been lying in jail
here waiting for a trial 1 have been
reading my Bible and 1 am now a
changed. man. I am not entitled to a
divorce. If my wife wants one she can
have it. She is entitled to it on ac-
count of misconduct. She is a virtuOuS,
honorable and upright woman, and
will not damn my soul to hell by adj
ding perjury to the many wrongs 1
have been guilty of. When my case is
reached on the criminal docket 1 shall
enter plea of guilty, for 1 am guilty
of the charge preferred against me.
shall be sentenced to the penitentiary
and I shall go thtre and serve my term
like a man, and when am released I
shall begin life again and do all in my
power to lead an honorable and up
right life, as far as it is in my power,
with Gods help, 1 shall do all 1 can
to amend the many wrongs have done
in the past"

ANOTHER ESTABLISHED.
Meriden Will Have Rural Delivery
Route.

Within the next month rural free de-
livery viii take a great step forward in
Kansas. Charles Lynn, the new rural
delivery agent for Kansas, has already
established two routes this week, and
he expects to establish another tomor-
row at Valley Falls. There are about
20 other applications now in for routes,
and as long as the appropriation holds
out the routes viii be established.
Mr.. Lynn, accompanied by Postmas-
ter Guthrie, went over into Jefferson
county yesterday and established a
route which Postmaster Swallow, of
Meriden, has been working up for some
time. The route will go east from Mer-
iden to a point four miles north of
ThOmpSOnVille pOStOffice, then north to
within four miles of OZawkie, and
then back to Meriden. No postoffices
will be abolished by the establishment
of this office for the reason that it is
put in in a district that has always
had very poor mail facilities. 10 en-
croaches slightly on the territory OF
both the Ozawl1ie and Thompsonville
offices, but there are some farmers
along the route who have been compell-
ed heretofore to go ten miles for their
mail. After September 1 they will have
it brought to their doors every day. to-
gether with a supply of stamps, money
orders, and all postal supplies. 1t is
needless to say that such people will
greatly appreciate rural free delivery
and they will not be slow about taking
advantage of it.
Mr.. Lynn viii forward to the depart
ment at Washington map of the Mer-
iden route as soon as it can be prepar-
ed. and will recommend that both the
Mission township route and the Meri-
den route be started on September 1.
w. r. ComstOck has been appointed
carrier on the Mission route and W. A.
Beck as carrier for the Meriden route
The people of Valley Falls have been
working to get route for some time.
Mr.. Lynn will go over there tonight to
look the territory over, and will pro-
badly establish the route on Saturday.
He will then return to Topeka to spend
Sunday Next week he will inspect the
two routes which run out Of Bonner
Springs, down in Wyandotte county,
both of which are old routes, and es-
tablish a route running out of LinWood.
Senator Harris home. Then for the
following two or three weeks he will
work on routes in Gcfferent parts Of

was approaching. Without bells on
churches and town halls. the people
would have been much Inconvenience.
That time has passed away. There
are few persons so poor as not to have
a clock in the house. The majority car
~ watches, so as to learn the time,
wherever they may be. Church goers
know when church is held and make
their arrangements accordingly, being
warned by the clock as sufficiently as
by the bell, when it is time to start.
Regular fire departments make loud
alarm unnecessary and town meetings
are rare and are not summoned by bell
ringing, but by newspaper notices.
Yet, in spite of the useIessness of
bells, they are numerous enough and
noisy enough to be a positive nuisance.
From the early hours of daylight
through the day and all the night, the
hideous clamor of some kind Of bell or
other is going on until the unfortunates
who dwell within hearing seek in vain
for quiet Sunday becomes a dreaded
day, for the intermittent clang of the
bells prevents it from being a day of
rest.
Some day it will dawn upon the COM
munity that any bell larger than a door
bell is a nuisance and all others will be
abolished. In the meantime all must
suffer and not suffer in silence.

EFFORT FAILED.
Jointists Refused to Be " Organized .
to Fight the City Hail.

The Topeka jointists were invited to at

which was to be in sentiment feminist
the city hall because the council passed
the stringent ordinance relative to the
running of joints.
A few nights ago a meeting was held
and George Burkhart was elected chair
man and S. Kline secretary. The second
meeting was called. The meeting was held
over the Capital billiard parlor near
Fourth and Kansas avenue. The meeting
was not a success and about corporaPs

any actions being taken except for all to
register their objections

said he knew nothing about the meeting,

KEPT THE SECRET.
Young Couple Married In January
Announce the Fact Today.

Ed Halterman, a young man who is
a night employe of the Santa Fe shops
and has been living at 2S3 Madison
street, surprised his family and friends
this week by announcing that he had
been married since the 10th of last Jan
uary. Then he Immediately sent for his
wife, who was Miss Ollie Wildon of
Lyndon, Kan, and they have gone to
housekeeping in this city.
Miss Wfldon visited the Halterman
family on Madison street during the
winter, and young Halterman became
attached to her. They had known each
other for several years, and finally
they secretly decided that they had
been acquainted sufficiently long enough
to get married. Ha1terman did not
have steady employment al that time,
and for that reason wished the matter
kept secret. They were married by
Judge Guy, and soon afterward Miss
Wildon went to her home in Lyndon.
Halterman now has a steady. job and
he decided that he had kept his we'd
ding secret long enough.

Some idea Of the devastation of the
spruce forests for the supply of news
paper may be gathered from the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Boston
Transcript:
A cord of spruce wood is equal to SIS
feet board measure, and this quantity
of raw material will make half a ton
of sulphite pulp, or one ton Of ground
wood pulp. Newspaper stock is made
up with 20 per cent of sulphite pulp and
so per cent of ground wood pulp. The
best known spruce land, virgin growth,
possesses a stand of about Z 900 feet to
the acre, the best as a basis. Twenty
two acres of this best spruce land will
therefore contain $4,000 feet of tim
Der. An average gang of loggers will
cut this in about eight days. This en-
tire quantity of wood turned in at any
one of the large mills will be converted
in a single day into about $50 tons Of
such pulp as goes to make up newspa-
per stock. This pulp will make about
an equal weight of paper, which will
supply a single large metropolitan
newspaper just two days.
