From the window OF the chapel Toffly

When We gathered in the parlor In th.

Where the hairclofh chairs and sofas stooS :

Where each queer OF portrait watched Us
with countenence OF wooc.
And the shells upon the vhatnot IN a dust

Then the quaint old rsriOr organ. with the
ouaver an It's tongue.
eeemed TO .trembie IN lts fervor as the
sacred songs were sung.
As We sang the homely anthems. sang the
glad revival hymes
OF the glory of the story and the light no
sorrow ciras-
While the dusk grew ever deeper and the
evening settled down.
And the lsmp-nt windows tvinkied in the
crowsy little town.
Oto and young we sang the chorus and the
echoes told II DER
In the dear familiar voices hushco or

And the picture IA the dreiiEht fades before

A RlRamy Case.

The April term Of the district court
will have a bigamy case to dispose OF,
What is more, it is quite a remarkable
one, The defendant Is one Samuel X,
Hutchinson who at various times has
been resident Of this city. Several
years ago he was in the second hand
business here, He is about filty-six, an
old soldier, and prominent Grand Army
man, But he is a gay old Lotharlo,
nevertheless, The information alleges,
and that part does not seem to be dis
puted, that in January, 1866, at Frank
fort in Clinton county, Indiana, he was
married to his first wife, On October
TO- 1900, the court sitting in Hutchinson,
granted him a decree Of divorce from
this woman on the ground OF cruelty.
His case was not very strong and he
had some trouble to get 1t, But the de-
cree was granted and under the statute
would take effect in six months. But it
seems he could not wait, In December
of the same year he married little six.
teen year old girl, Bessie M, Gale who
was then living at Newkirk, Oklahoma
where the ceremony was performed.
They moved to this city where her par
ents alterward moved and have been
living since, But in February 1900 he
abandoned her and as il was aiterward
learned went to Indiana, Last week
the young wife swore out an informa-
ton charging HIM with bigamy for marry
ing her before his divorce had become
effective, A requistion was asked from
the governor and granted by him for his
extradition from Indiana, and about
the middle Of the week Sheriff Long left
for his prisoner.
When he arrived there he found that
his prisoner had got the officers there
guessing, He had shown them his de-
cree of divorce, and they had no infor-
nation about the case Of Miss Gale.
Therefore when he married Miss Tin
sler in Indiana a short time ago they
supposed he had perfect legal right to
do so, When Sheriff Long arrived and
explained about the case of the girl in
this city Of course it was readily under
stood. 1t seems that the wife here
knew nothing about the new Indiana
wife and new Indiana wife knew nothing
about the Kansas wife, He was living
with the wife in Indiana when arrested
and had it seems made no effort to Sc
cure divorce from the young lady here
He was keeping the little matter Of that
marriage very quiet. When arrested he
denied all knowlege Of any such woman.
1t seems a pretty sure proposition that
he will see the inside Of either the Kan
sas or Indiana State penitentiary,

Besides brief presentation Of the

THE EMPIRE MAKER.

The republican politician who thinks
he 10 max ing capital hit with a bit of
unanswerable ridicule by referring to
the coronation" and the first year of
the empire should manage in some
way to muzzle his friends across the
water. People who live under an em.
pire know what 1t is; know what con-
stitutes Imperialism. They know it is
the policies of government, not crowns
and scepters, and titles. The Pail
Mall Gazette OF London speaking Of
the inaugural address says "the speech
with its strong note of empire contains
a lesson for British pro- Beers" In
other words the Boer sympathizers
among the English should read the
"note of empire" in the presidents
message and learn something. Further
on in its article the Gazette says "a
true empire maker spoke on the sub
ject of Cuba"

Show Your Patriotism Now,

ollOW Oil TdlIlOklolll NOW'
On Tuesday morning a trim, straight
laced young officer of the American
army with a corset on, and brilliant
new uniform, blew into town and COM
menced posting bills and announce
ments to the effect that Uncle Sam
wants men Of a certain described sort to
enlist in the army, cavalry, infantry or
almost any old place, The notices were
posted conspicuously in various parts
of the town with the pictures Of the
gaudy uniforms Of the officers as an
alurement. They also contained the
announcement that whomsoever will
may come TO this city and the recruit
ing officer will be here TO accept him
1t is too early for many to show
up for enlistment yet, but the prophecy
may be very safely made that the num-
Der to enlist will be many smaller than
the number that enlisted the last time
the recruiting station was opened at this
place, this Notwithstanding the great
display of patriotism that was made
during the campaign, The fellows that
howled the loudest about copperheads
and traitors, will they now shoulder
their guns? WE'LL they will not break
any bones tumbling over themselves to
get to the recruiting office.

VOL. II.

IT seems to be little difficult to find
out exactly what was the outcome OF the
claim that Judge Theodocius Botkin was
pushing in the Legislature for three
thousand dollars to reimburse him for
expenses incurred in his impeachment
trial OF ten years ago. The senate
treated 1t as II did every other grab and
passed the bill, 1t went 10 the house
and It was voted down once squarely.
Afterward 1t seems 10 have been taken
up and while we have no record aeces-
sable on the point, the belief seems to
be that 1t passed and he got the
money. Comment seems to be
needless on the matter II he was
entitled TO this appropriation, then every
man in Reno county who has been tried
for stealing within ten years and ac-
quilted Is entitled to good fat allowance
TO reimburse him for his expense, and
trouble, In the case OF citizen Botkin,
it is but fair TO say that the State should
have filed counter claim against him
for $4,000 for improvement to his char.
acter The impeachment trial made a
man out OF him. Since then for the
most part he has been very good cit
izen, We cannot say what his trip to
Utah did for him, AS it is said he Is
about to remove there the indications
seem TO be that it may have undone
something Of what the impeachment
trial did.
