NEW POLICE PLAN
VIII Make Things Hot fer Runs That
Come Here

The police have decided TO make Wich-
tia too warm a place for buns and ho-
b5es. Heretofore the plan has been TO
encourage them to move on, and as a re-
suit some Of the fraternity have evaded
the vigilance Of the officers and have re-
mained in town. It is thought that
tramps are responsible for a number Of
the petty robberies which have been COM
mitted in this city OF late. Hereafter all
tramps will be arrested on sight. They
win be charged with vagrancy and given
as heavy a sentence as the law allows.
They viii then be treated TO q bread and
water diet until they are thoroughly dis
gusted with wiclita. Police authorities
say that good per cent 81 the buns
are burglars and safe-hlowers when a
favorable opportunity presents Itself.

CUPlD'S RECORD
PIERCED 92s HEARTS IN THE
YEAR 1898.
Interesting Figures in Probate Court
Relating to Marriages.

In the last year there have been 464
licenses issued from the probate court
of sedgwick county. That is, there have
been 92S persons licensed to marry. The
grand total age for men is 12S5S years;
for women it is 1911 years. The average
age of the men is 277 years; the average
age of women is 28.S years. The oldest
man to obtain license was &c. while the
youngest man was 10 years, a difference
of just so years. The oldest woman was
IS, while the youngest woman was Is,
making the range Of manageable age
for women 43 years. The greatest dis
parity in ages is 40 years-65 and IS years,
respectively. A close second to this is
6S and "a, a difference of A years. One
woman of SO marries a man of so, and
another of 80 marries a man of %, the
greatest difference in favor of the wo-
man.
The number Of licenses issued this year
is the largest in the history of the coun-
ty. OF this number of licenses all but
one was used. The license is returned to
the probate judges office. showing what
is done with it. There is a penalty for
not returning a marriage license which
insures the return by the person per-
forming the marriage ceremony. One
couple in every seven is married by the
probate Judge One couple in twelve is
married by some justice of the peace.
More than 20 per cent Of marriages are
performed by ministers of the gospel
The large proportion of these are married
by Methodist ministers.
Even when to be married women hest
tate to tell their ages. The law requires
the applicants for a marriage license to
make affidavit that they are Of the age
they may legally marry. In this way
most of the women will. when asked
their age. give it correctly. but one in
every twenty Will not disclose her age.
Occasionally in Difference to the woman
the man withholds his age The record
fails to disclose any man Withholding his
age unless the woman does.
in the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns TO thoughts of love" but
Judge McCanless is positive that old
men are more prone to marry in spring
and summer while young men are in
clined to marry mere in fall and winter
There are many curious condolences in
the matter Of age worth noting. On one
day six licenses were issued, and all the
to-be brides were aged Is except one,
who was 10. while the young men varied
in age but two years from youngest 10

will comphcate affairs somewhat It will
not only mean a new alignment Of forces
in Kansas, but will also cut some figure
in the First district congressional fight
It is well known that Broderick is to re-
ceive the support Of Leland for congress-
man-at-large in return for Broderick's
support Of Bailey for district congressman.
Hornaday has heretofore been counted
upon as one Of the Leland-Bailey combi-
nation. Coming out now for congress
man-at-large, in the face of the fact that
his oldtime running mates have tied
themselves up to Broderick, will cause
comment among the hxers.
The Hornaday candidacy will also cut
some figure in the senatorial contest. The
Burton men around the state house are
all backing Hornaday

ABOUT The ONLY WAY
Slot Machines Beaten by a
Gang Who Have Hammers.
ANOTHER HAUL YESTERDAY
Robbers Give Boy an Axe and
Boost Him Over TranSoms.
ANOTHER HAUL YESTERDAY

At an early hour yesterday morning
thieves forced an entrance into W. A.
Folks place on North Main street. The
cash register was robbed OF S in cash
and the slot machine was rifed OF a
quantity Of nickles. The robbery is sup
posed to have taken place about o'clock
between the time Of the rounds made by
Officer Osborn. The latter discovered that
the robbery had been committed, about
$50 O'Clock.
This is the second time that Folks
place has been robbed in the past two
weeks. In neither case is there any direct
clue to the theft. Whoever the guilty
party is. he has displayed considerable
nerve and an accurate knowledge Of the
movements OF the officer on the beat. as
the robbery has been committed each
time when the officer was at the other
end OF his round.
About O'Clock yesterday morning
someone attempted to force an entrance
into Murphy's place at the Occidental
hotel. officer Syl Anderson was walking
up the alley back of the hotel at the time
and heard the noise. He started for the
plsce and man darted out and ran
around the corner of the hotel Anderson
gave chase, but the fellow was too quick
and disappeared before Anderson could
get a shot at him. It is supposed that
the same party robbed Polk's place.
Logan Casad, a young boy, was arrested
last night by Officer James Fox on sus-
picion of being implicated in the rob-
berries. He has been associating with
some suspicious characters who are now
in Jail on the charge Of vagrancy, but
who are thought to be connected with
some of the recent petty robberies.
One of the men, named Charles Rath-
burn, claimed to be cousin to the boy
1t was thought the boy had been used by
the gang and had been lifted over tran
SONS and committed the robberies, while
the other men remained on guard about
the building.
The boy came here about a year ago
from Chanute, where his father, it is said,
lives. He has supported himself by peddl-
ing hot tamalas. He was sweated last
evening by the police but told such
straight story that it is probable that he
Will be released this morning. 1t is now
thought he had no connection with the
robbery
The police are engaged in working up
evidence against Charles Rathburn,
George Walker and George Varney. the
men who are in Jail, as they are convinced
that they had hand in some of the
slot machine robberies
