There is considerable talk
around the state of redistricting
the legislative districts Of the
state and increasing the number
of Representatives and senators.
At this time the Courier wants
to go on record as being opposed
to any more unnecessary expense
being saddled upon the people at
this time, believing that the leg
lslature as at present constituted
is ample for all the needs Of the
state. If they want to redistrict
to more evenly get representa-.
ton according to vote without
an increase of members, that
would be all right. The state is
too heavily hardened with debt
at this time to have additional
and reckless expenditure thrust
upon the people. What is need

A Child is Found Floating in the
River.

River.
Special to the Register.
KEYSER, w. Va, October l3.-Mueh
excitement was created among the citi-
e living heal the big Youghiogheny
river. a short distance from Oakland,
Md. a few days ago, by the discovery
of a deed infant about ten days old. A
boy named Dumire was fishing and no.
ticed a bundle floating in the river. he
called the attention Of some men near
by to the matter ana on investigation
it was found that the bundle contained
the headless body Of a female infant.
Directly beneath the bundle the head
was found. Physicians in attendance
upon the inquest stated that the death
was due to the head having been sever
ed by some sharp instrument when the
child was about ten days old. 1t was
the opinion of the physicians that the
body had been in the river several
weeks. The heavy express paper IN
which the body was wrapped bore the
name of some New York person. The
clothes were of tne finest material and
the child was completely dressed. How
the body came to be in the river is of
course a mystery, and may always re-
main such. The most feasible theory
is that the chilu was thrown from a
moving train into the river, which is
crossed at a point just above where the
body was found, by the B. & o. Ry.
The remains were buried by Undertaken
Briden.

One day. Hastings fell on his knees
with a property declaration OF love and
asked for the hand Of Miss S~tudebaker.
When he has finished pouring out his
love the young lady laughed and said
she would rather have a glass of beer.
Thereupon Hastings made his escape.
Then somebody threw the switch on
the primrose path and McKeown land
ed at San Francisco, with a $500 dea>
mond horseshoe for his bride-to-be,
provided the actors didn't get her. For
another rival had appeared in the per-
son of Eugene Ormonde, who succeed
ed Hastings as leading man at the AL
cazar. This actor was described by the
lady as very gallant and attentive, but
his blood was very much snow BROTH
she Diagnosed IL WOOer.
While Dorothy was thus diagnosing
the blood of the new actor McKeown
eCurne to Los Angeles and worked
overtime at the thurst studios. Later
in the season he was joined there by
Mrs. Studebaker and the girl and they
all visited the Arizona ranch.
McKeown wanted to be married last
June 6 and, the family agreeing, an
Eastern trip was made to purchase the
bridal trousseau. The party reached
New York about March /. Illness COM
PEELED McKeown to remain in Cali
fornia.
Between s. 5000 and $4,000 was ex-
pended on the rousseau, and in the
midst of the two months shopping tour
McKeown turned up. During the first
week of his stay he bought $1,000
worth of r~osebunds for Dorothy. The
young man was introduced to his future
father-in-law and together they viewed
the sights. McKeown won $1,000 from
Studebaker betting on a prize fight.

With the end of the shopping sea-
son Miss Studebaker and the mother
returned to San Francisco and Nc
Keown went to the Arizona ranch for
some rest. On the way West the
mother was taken i'll and the daughter
wired for her iance. He joined her in
San Francisco, where they were mar
ried at St. Paul's church on May 8. His
present to the bride was a $4,000 pearl
necklace. At the wedding breakfast,
which cost $1,000. exclusive of sixty
five quarts of wine, McKeown made
the first and only speech of his life.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said,
Pm glad it's all over"
The bridegroom in his speech was
doubles thinking of the actors. He
built a $4,000 cottage at Los Angeles
and placed his bride therein. Then he
went East to raise some money, he
said. Nothing was said about money
when he came back. One morning last
August the coachman awoke the Nc
Keowns early and said the sheriff had
called for the horses. That was the
beginning OF the end. The sheriff is
still busy, but be has little more to do.
The McKeowns of Franklin, Pa, made
the recreant son an allowance of $3.50
a month. He turned this over to the
wife and retired to the Arizona ranch
to commune with his thirst.
