WANT TAXES REDUCED.
Western Union Telegraph Company
Calls on State Assessors.

The Western Union Telegraph company
wants to have its taxes reduced. too.
Some Of its officials appeared before the
State Board of Telegraph and Telephone
assessors which is the same as the Board
of Railroad assessors, and asked that its
assessment be cut down from $50 to $50 a
mile for the pole line and first wire This
would be q big reduction in the state as
a whole
ductfon is that the telephone toll lines
have greatly cut down the local telegraph
business. This is undoubtedly true For
merly people used to do q great deal Of
telegraphing to towns from 20 to 10 miles
distant but there is little telegraph bust
ness Of that class now and it is constantly
decreasing. Now when the people want to
reach neighboring towns they use the long
distance telephones and the use of the
telephone is growing wider each year.

A marriage was solemnized at Hoyt

by the separation of husband and
wife in terror of the law. The prin-
cipals were Charles Bevins and Bessie
Hanline. They were married at the
home of the bride in the midst of a
company by Rev. G. 81. Clarke. An
hour after the ceremony the preach
er found out that the groom and
bride were first cousins, a degree of
consanguinity that is forbidden in
marriage by the Kansas law. He
hurried around town hunting for the
happy young couple. He found them
at the depot, just starting on their
bridal tour. He told them they were
not legally married and that they
must separate. There were tears
and protestations, but the bride re-
turned to her fathers house and the
groom went his way-Kansas City
