Fort Scott. April 15-The Tribune
says:
Mayor Goodlander is in receipt of a
very interesting letter from what is
called The Journal of Health Society
in Cleveland, Ohio, on the question of
swapping some of the men of the state
for people of the opposite sex in the
eastern states.
The society advertises itself as one
for the betterment of health and the
prosperity of the west and offers to
make this city headquarters for
matchmaking enterprise. or to ex-
change the male for the female sexes.
The letter is rather unique and is as
follows:
Dear Sir: The recent census re-
veals great deficiency of females in
your state as compared to males, and
a great excess of the same in the east.
This unequal distribution of the sexes
constitutes a social evil at both ends
of the country and a great obstacle to
the DEVELOPMENT and prosperity of the
west, While in the east there is a con-
gestiOn of handsome and worthy young
women wearing out their lives in fac
tories at low wages. who would make
the happiness of men as housewives a
position for which they are better fitted
and naturally destined. To remedy this
odd situation this company has UNDER
taken to publish book album in which
viii be printed photographs and partia-
ulars of all men in your state willing to
marry eastern ladies and who can offer
them homes This book is to circulate
in the east. so that the ladies intent on
matrimony may make themselves known

dence. Very numerous are the spinsteFs

collected for the county and failed to
turn over. claiming it as commission.

county attorney for years, was arrest
ed for the robbery, in addition to hav-
ing the case against him and his bonds
men. Wilson was convicted and SEN
fenced to seven years in the peniten-
tiary, but he hopes to secure a reversal
