c0mpanied a Man.

Scranton, Kan. Dec. GA man and
woman supposed to be notorious horse
thieves were captured here this morn
ing. The woman was dressed in mems
clothes and the couple had horse sup

Ryan at Emporia Sunday.

track when they reached Scranton and
they were easily captured. The man

Emporia during the past two months.

MEXICAN RECIPROCITY.

In today's preliminary conference of
the business men of Kansas for the
purpose of laying plans to develop
closer commercial relations with Mex
ico Governor Stanley is starting a
movement that will benefit the state
for years. provided the meeting results
favorably in that direction. If these
men act with unanimity, there is no
reason why they should not establish
such conditions as shall last Indefinitely
and bring much money into this part
of the country.
Kansas should not hesitate to culti-
vate more intimate business friendship
with the republic on the south. She is
in the market place just the same as
other states and nations looking for
customers for her wares: and what she
has to sell is as good many times better
than the same class of goods from other
countries. A reason for further pushing
her claims is that this state Is so adj
vantageously situated that much of the
stuff which Mexico does not produce is
grown here and could be placed on their
markets with a comparatively small ex-
pense. Already within a few years
there have been cases in which fat
stock for slaughter has been shipped
from here to the capital of Mexico.
There are a number of strong reasons
why Mexico must patronize the outside
world for much OF the goods which it
consumes. This partially because of the
disposition of the inhabitants who take
but little future care in laying up store
for the morrow. Climatic conditions do
not favor life of toll even though it
is warm and pleasant, and though the
soil is SO rich that it responds readily
and amply to cultivation. There are 9TH
err circumstances too which will proba-
bly, render that nation more less
dependent upon those about it, especial
ly the United States.

endeavoring to initiate the customs of
European capitals. In doing this of
course money goes freely The richer
and better class of Mexicans are not
noted for frugality. They buy many
of their coach horses in the states, ana
a few dollars on an animal makes but
little difference with them If they can
only be suited. That is only an exam
pie of the way in which they do patron
lie US and might patronize us more ex-
tensively.

complish. 1t can be had almost for the
asking. The Mexicans manifest much
friendship for the people of the United
States as was shown by their favorable
attitude during the late war. President
Diaz is a statesman of exceotiona1
ability and forethought, and is wise
enough to wish for further infusion of
American enterprise and commercial
ism among his own people
Somebody is going to get the profits
of trade with the republic of Mexico
and better Kansas than any other state

out of the possibility of war with Chilli

now that the Argentine minister has
been recalled from Santiago. An editor
ial article in the Pals says the inter-
ruption in the relations between the
two countries must necessarily be or
short duration, as they are mobilizing
their reserves and could not afford to
support them under arms were a long
period to elapse before diplomatic re-
lationS can be resumed. Therefore TINS
state of affairs can not be prolonged as,
otherwise, bot&s countries would be

bitration of friendly nation would be
unable to remedy the evil DONE 1t was
possible sometime ago to submit the
whole matter to arbitration but such a
course is now impossible. The decision
of the arbitrator could not be given be-
fore two more years have elapsed and
the countries could not remain all that
time on war footing. Therefore,
radical solution of the question is nee

Judge Hazen will hear the motion in
the George K1auer case Tuesday after
noon and upon the decision of that mo-
ton will be decided whether the city
has liquor ordinance left and whether
the city council can pass search AMI
seizure ordinance.
The motion in three cases against
Klauer is that the liquors seized and
held by the police be returned to Klauer
for the reason that the search and seiz-
ure ordinance is invalid because it was
passed last November after the court
of appeals had decided q former ordf-

Attorney Spencer said this morning:

whether the city has any liquor ordi-

Once. far back in the buried years,
When life was young and gay.
There came a maid with sunny hair
And eyes like sapphires, bright and
rare,
And manners blithe and dubonnaire,
Who stole my heart away.
Those happy times with hurrying feet
Went flying all too fast
As DER the meadows sweet with hay
We often took our wistful way
And sworc TO love. come what, come
may.
In VOWS that did not last.
We will not blame each other, dear
Nay, nay, we both we're wrong
And now we both are old and free,
Love once more findsus out, you see
And warns our heart with melody.
And sings his old sweet song.
So, now we two are one again.
Wen thank our happy lot,
And let the gloom Of weary years,
With all their sorrows and their
fears.
Their carking cares and binding tears
Forever be forgot.
