A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
fWWWWWWWWNWWWWWWWWyUWWW,
Reunited After 10 Years.

Mrs. William Davis. whose husband
left her soon after they were married
at Belleville, Tenn, for the purpose of
eniisting in the confederate army, has
Just been reunited with him at her
home on farm 16 miles west of Par
sons. Mrs. Davis came to Kansas from
Tennessee 30 years ago, purchasing a
farm and hiring n man and his wife
to run it. She lived with them and
remained single. Mr.. Davis was
found to be living at Galesburg, a
small place north of Parsons, and he
stated that his home had been in that
city for Is years years. After the war
he was marked killed, through some
error of the war department, and had
gone home to Belleville only to find
his wife gone and his property sold.
Being told that she had gone to Kan
sas, he set out for this state, but aft
er travelling around in search of her
for many years he gave it up and, pc
culiar as it may seem, located in a
little city not more than 80 miles
from where his long-lost wife was liv-
ing.

An Interesting Marriage.

Mrs. Josephine Blakely. of Topeka.
and George W. Martin, secretary of
the Kansas Historical society, were
married at Topeka recently. This
marriage united two historical char
acters of Kansas. Their residence in
Kansas dates back almost TO the be-
ginning of the states history. Both
came here before the territory became
n state, and lived here through all the
border troubles. Mrs. Josephine
Blakely settled in Geary county in
1858. In 1865 she became the wife of
William S. Blakely, who also settled
in that county in 1853. Her maiden
name was Josephine Morgan. Mr..
Blakely was prominent in business
and political affairs until his death
few years ago. Mr.. Martion also
settled in Junction City in 1858. His
wife died three years ago.

GUARDIANSHIP TO CEASE.
Commissioner Jones Says the Government
Policy Hereafter VIII BE to Make
indians More Self Reliant

Lake MOhonk, n. Y, Oct. 19.-Wil,
liam a. Jones, commissioner of In.
dian affairs, was the principal speak.
er at last evenings session of the
Indian conference. He said that the
most important step taken by his de-
partment during the year was sc.
curing the record of Indian births
marriages and deaths. In working
for Indian reform grave obstacles
were encountered. The indiscriminate
issue of rations, unwise appropriation
of money and the leasing of allot.
ments were some of the obstacles
The schools gave the Indians too
many things, including not few lux.
nries, for little or nothing. Not earn.
ing their education, in too many cases
they failed to appreciate it. The In.
dians were hardly more self-reliant
than they were quarter of century
ago. The time had come to make a
vigorous move to end such guardian
ship, and to throw the Indian on his
own resources.

LABOR PROBLEM SERIOUS
Secretary of Hawaii Says Encour-
agement of Chinese immigration
Is the Only Solution.
FOREIGN W0RKMEN lElVlNG ISLAND.
Natives Will Not Work Although Farm
Hands Are Paid $40 q Month and
Board-Conee Industry Is Languishiug
and Much Stun Is Imported That
Should Re Produced There

Washington, Oct. 19.-Henry E.
Cooper, territorial secretary OF Ha-
waii, has discussed with Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson the conditions in
the territory. He emphasized the Sc
riousness of the labor problem. The
natives are dying off rapidly, the NOR
tality being in the neighborhood of
40 deaths per 900, and foreign labor
ers are getting out of the country
much more rapidly than they are
coming in. The encouragement of
Chinese labor, said he, is regarded as
the most promising solution and the
territorial government is anxious that
large numbers of laborers shall come
in from China. The natives generally
will not work. The coffee industry
is languishing and many things that
should be raised there have to be
bought outside the islands. Secretary
Wilson informed Mr.. Cooper of a re-
port that it costs $26 an acre to fer
tilize the cane crop in Hawaii and
pointed out the big farm wage which
has to be paid to farm laborers, viz:
Forty dollars a month, including
more than in this country. Mr.. Cooper
suggested that the average farm
wage might be even greater

Joint-sma.hins Not Legal.

The Kansas supreme court affirmed
the Judgment of the district court of
Shawnee county in the case of the
state against Balfe Stark. Stark was
one of Carrie Nations assistants In
joint smashing. In one of their raids
they destroyed property which led
TO arrests. Stark was fined $25 and
costs. The whole amount was about
500. He appealed to the supreme
court, claiming among other things
that a saloon, being under the ban
of the law, might be destroyed by any
citizen without violation of law. In
the syllabus the court says: "AH
places where Intoxicating liquors are
sold or kept for sale, or places where
persons are permitted to resort for
the purpose of drinking the same, are
declared by the statute to be common
nuisances. This fact, however, does
not Justify their abatement by any
person or persons without process of
law. They can be abated only by
prosecution instituted in behalf of the
public by the proper officers"

on this subject. The committee on
resolutions reported an affirmation of
the spiritualistic faith and an exposi-

of spiritualism. 1t also declared in
favor of extended education, ''in op-

moral and civil law" and urged that

DREW a BLACK BEAN.
Wharton Golden Tells How the Man Was
Selected to Assassinate the Late
william Goebel.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 19.-F. Whar-
ton Golden was placed on the stand
in the Powers murder trial. Mr.. Owen
moved to exclude Golden because he
was under Indictment as accessory to
the murder. "No man." said he, with
halter around his neck should be
allowed to testify" Judge Cantrill
Overruled the motion. Golden testi-
fed that it was generally understood
among the mountain men that Goebel
was to be killed. Golden told of his
connection with Powers in assembling
the mountain men to Frankfort, and
of conversation he had with Gov.
Taylor. in which Taylor said. "Whart,
it is an awful thing to think of TAX
ing human life, but it looks like Goe-
bel and those fellows must die or we
will be robbed" Golden admitted
that he entered into an agreement
to procure the murder of William
Goebel: that he had offered $500 to
any man who would murder him. and
that he was under Indictment upon
the charge of having entered into
conspiracy to murder GOebel. He said
he heard {. o. Reynolds, at Frankfort,
say he was willing to put on black
bean in Il bottleful of white ones, and
let all hands draw from the bottle.

kill Goebel.
