A LONG WAY OFF.
Secretary Roots Views of Prospective
Cuban Independence.

Washington. March 21.-Secretary
Root this afternoon gave to President
Mckinley the results of his observa-
tions in affairs in Cuba, during his re-
cent trip to the island. Subsequently
the secretary consented to talk for
publication as to existing conditions
in the island and the possibilities of
the people in the direction of self-gov-
eminent. The secretary expressed him
self as satisfied on the whole with what
he saw. Naturally the question of the
ultimate independence of the island
came up for discussion during the sec
retary'S visit to Cuba, but he was not
prepared to say just when the United
States government would be willing
that it should be q reality. Incidental
to this matter, which is uppermost in
the Cuban mind, are the formative
steps that will bring it about. The
first of these, viz, the holding of the
municipal elections at an early date
was a subject that Secretary Root dis
cussed freely, particularly with the
United States officials on the island.
''These elections" said the secretary,
will be the Cubans' first efforts toward
popular government. Unaccustomed as
they are to these things, they are as
the babe unborn and have everything
to learn. The whole plan for making
effective the scheme of municipal .Suf-
frage has to be very carefully worked
out and the people instructed in all the
details. This involves a vast amount
OF labor ana takes considerable time,
but ultimately the plan win be worked
out and the elections held. I hardly be-
neve, however. that the authorities will
be quite ready for holding the elections
by the first of May
Secretary Root was not prepared to
venture an opinion as to just when he
believed this government would grant
complete independence to Cubans. The
declaration in the joint resolution of
congress, however. granting them full
independence would be carried out He
pointed out how it would be necessary
that the municipal governments should
be firmly established on a working
basis, after which attention would be
given to the selection of a conStitu-
tional convention for the purpose of
framing a constitution for the island
and it's adoption by the people.
Following this and the establishment
of a firm government in the island the
secretary felt would be time for formal
recognition of the independence of the
island and the withdrawal of the as
sistance and supervision of the author
ity of the United States.
Mr.. Root made it a feature of his visit
to talk with the leaders of what has
been known as the revolutionary ele-
ment of the population and those who
are opposed to annexation to the United
States and he says they are not impa-
tient over what are regarded as neceS-
sary and reasona bic delays in the for
nation of a we'll established govern
nent, realizing that these are neces-
Sity.

KISSED AND MADE UP.
A. j. Whetstine Remarries Divorsed
Wife Two Months After Decree.

"a. j. Whetstine to Emily G. Whet-
slime" is an entry made in the mar
riage license record by Probate Judge
Dolman last evening, and thereby hangs
a tale. In the district court docket
there is the same entray, except that the
proposition is from instead of TO"
Mrs Whetstine was granted a divorce
from her husband only two months ago.
The couple had four children, and they
concluded that they could not live apart
after ALL and that is the reason why
Mr.. Whetstine applied to Judge Dol
man last evening for a license to mar
ry his wife over again.
There is a law on the Kansas statute
books which prohibits divorced parties
from marrying within six months from
the date of the decree. When Judge
Dolman asked Mr.. Whetstine if he had
ever been divorced he answered in the
affirmative and explained the circun-
stances. Judge DOlman finally decided
that the law did not keep a man from
marrying the same wife again in less
than six months time and he issued the
license

A SPLENDID IMPROVEMENT
An Unpretentious Organization and
the Good It is Doing.

The members Of the Apostolic Con-
gregation and Divine Healing Home
have at last secured means to purchase
and pay for the large building occupied
by them at the corner Of Fourth and
Jackson streets.
This result is mainly due to the gen.
erOsity Of George Hamaker of Usage
county, who is deeply interested in this
Christian and benevolent work.
Norris L. Gage who sold the property
also contributed 81 10000 of the purchase
money as a tribute to the charitable
work Of this congregation.
These people have no creed, are I'M
denominational and claim only to follow
strictly in the footsteps of Christ and
the Apostles of the early age.
The Rev. Charles F. Parham and the
trustees. who have charge of the work
have assurance that additional funds
can be obtained sufficient to construct
during the coming summer a large ad-
ditton to the present building and con-
sisting Of a spacious audience room for

accommodations
