REPUBLICANS ANGRY.
Do Not Like the Action of House
Democrats In Kentucky.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 4.-The Republi-
can leaders are exercised over the ac-
ton of the Democrats in the house
Wednesday refusing to vote the ap-
pointment of committees to be COM
posed of two members from each party
to inspect the boxes and assist the
clerks in preparing the ballots from
which the contest committees are to be
drawn. This matter was made the
cause of holding a caucus of the Repub-
lican members and leaders last night at
which it was determined to insist today
on the appointment of the committees
and to take other steps to protect rights
which they suspect might be encroach-
ed upon.

NO LICENSE NECESSARY.

Formality.

Whether Quakers are required to pro-
cure a marriage license in Kansas is a
legal question which the attorney gen.
eral has been asked to decide.
The question was raised by a Quaker
minister in one of the western counties
of the state who says that a young cou-
pie were recently married according to
the rules of the church, but without a
license from the probate judge. He now
desires to know if the marriage is a
legal one.
The investigation made today by the
assistant attorneys in the department
has not disclosed a complete answer to

business of Station B.

Station B, the Washburn college sub
station of the Topeka postofice, sold
stamps to the amount of $293.07 during
the month of December, besides Is
money orders. This, of course, includes
the business of the Mission township
rural delivery route. The business of
Station B. is extremely large, consider
ing the fact that the territory tribu-
tary to it is nearly all residence dis
trict. If it was an independent postof-
flee it would be a presidential office and
its postmaster would receive a salary Of
81, 400 a year.
