Incarnation, of New York. who per-
formed the ceremony. and the Rev. Dr.
George L. Nelson took their places and
awaited the arrival of the bridal party.
The organist began the Lohengrin we'd
ding march. and the bride. escorted by
Lieut. Robert Sterling Clark, marched
up the aisle, where they were met by
the bridegroom and his best man, Rev

design. In the place of a bonnet the
bride wore a fichu of point applique
lace. The only iewelry worn by the
bride was a brooch of diamonds. She
carried a shower of lilies of the valley
and white orchids.
A wedding breakfast was served to

REVERSED THEMSELVES.
Makes Difference to commissioners
Whose Ok Is Gored.

The county commissioners reversed
themselves, on a decision they made re-
garding the letting of contracts. Friday
afternoon, by refusing to award the con-
tract for paving the West Sixth street
road.
Bids were submitted by three firms
Watson & Fritz made a bid of 421z
cents a square foot. Ramsey & Ram
sey's bid was SO cents, and Ritchey &
Bradbury made a bid of 1854 cents. The
bids were to be accompanied by GER
titled check on Topeka bank for 5000.
The Watson & Fritz bid was accom-
panied by a personal check instead of
jected, and the board then refused to
receive the bids, and viii advertise for
new bids, which will be opened next
Friday.
Last spring when bids were received
for the Valencia bridge across the Kan
sas river the rules required that the
bids be accompanied by certified checks
Louth. Jefferson county, was the lowest
bidder. His bid was accompanied by q
personal check on the bank in McIsOuth
and not by a certified check on a Topeka
bank. The other bidders objected to the
bid being received on account Of the
irregularity. The board seemed quite
anxious to let Mr.. McIouth have what
he wanted, and went to the trouble of
telephOning the bank at McLouth to find
out if the check was good, delayed the
letting of the contract and finally
awarded it to McLouth. who later
transferred his contract to the Missouri
Valley Bridge company 1t was under
stood before McLouth received the
award that he intended to do this. The
commissioners seem to have queer ways
of doing business. 1t seems to make a
difference who the bidders happen to be.

Brodrick, secretary of war, combatted
the criticisms of the war office uttered
by Sir Michael Hicks Beach, former
chancellor of the exchequer, in his
speech at Bristol September %, when
Sir Michael said the war Office was
chiefly responsible for the increase III
expenditure.
Mr. Brodrick said Sir Michael had
told the people the war office was in
need of drastic reforms, but that one
ought to make allowances for him. The
war Office had not met the degree of i'll
success in carrying on the South AT
rican war which the people were in
eiined to attribute to. it, said Mr.. Brod-
rick. and he characterized the assertion
of the former chancellor that the war
office was subjected to outside infiu-
ence as most unfortunate.
He contended that the army was a
better profession than people generally
thought, but he said the reforms now
lin progress must take time to develop.

RESERVE IS STILL LOW.
Secretary Shaw's Circular Apparently
Has Made Little Difference.

New York. Oct 4-The weekly bank
statement issued today by the clearing
house association apparently showed
that the banks had not taken advan-
tage of Secretary Shaw's ruling that
hereafter the % per cent reserve need
not be held against government de-
posits. The statement as issued gave
the United States deposits as $40. 769 800,

PLEA OF INSANITY
Is Likely to Be Set Up by the STRAIT
ton VIII Breakers.

Colorado Springs, Oct 4.-The fight over
the Stratton millions was renewed today
when the executors named by the late
multi-nnillionaire appeared before Judge
James A. Orr in the county court and Of
fered the will for probating. The battle
in reality centers about whether the court
will accept this instrument as the last will
and testament of the mining king, or
whether as the son and administrators
claim, the will is invalid because its
maker is alleged to have been insane in
August, 1901. when it was drawn. The ad
ninistrators played a game of delay today
and had the court postpone the hearing of
the will until later in the day and init
mated they would attempt to have a post
ponement until some day next week.
