Queen Elena demands at once how much

OBITUARY..
James M. Rhoades Gone to His Last
Rest.

On last Monday morning the COM
munity were shocked to hear of the
death of Mr.. james NJ. Rhoades. Mr..
Rhoades has been in failing health
for many months. but death came
sooner than expected.
The funeral was held at the Baptist
church Wednesday morning at 1880
O'Clock, Rev. Clemens conducting the
service. A large congregation was
present thus showing their sympathy
for the bereaved family.
James Manning Rhoades was born
in Elbridge, Onondoga county, N. Y,
in 1s47, and in 1869 was united in mar
riage to Miss L. Cory. To this union
were born eight children, five sons
and three daughters, all of whom sur
vive him.
He came to Kansas in 1856 and has
been resident here ever since
We can truthfully say Mr. Rhoades
had his ups and downs so well known
to the man that starts home in the
West, but prosperity smiled on him
and at his death he was one of our
most prosperous citizens.
The deceased was a man of high
moral standard, a good citizen, and
liked and trusted by all who knew
him. His word was without reproach.
Honesty and integrity were his at
tributes toward all with whom lie
dealt. His faith was calm and clear
to the end; he believed his religion
and lived it also.
Mr. and Mrs Amos McCollum of
Topeka, also relatives from Missouri,
attended the funeral
To this estimable and bereaved fam
lily the WORLD and many friends ex-
tend sincere sympathy.

Tuesday Probate Judge Calvert is
sued a marriage license to Asher Tay-
Tor Wargar and Viola Burlington, and
united them in marriage. The con-
tracing parties were travelling over
the country in prairie schooner, and
hail from North Platte, Neb. The at
tractive feature of the match resides
in their ages. The age of the man
was 81, while his bride has only seen
10 summers. The great disparity in
their ages was cause for the Probate
Judge examining the general statutes
on minimum age of marriage in Kan
saS and found to his surprise and
perhaps to the surprise of the great
majority of the people generally, that
the law now requires that the male
be only Is and the female II, without
consent of parent or guardian, and
the probate judge cannot refuse Ii
cense and right to marry. Up to 1867
the legal age at when parties could
marry was 81 years for males and Is
for the female, without consent of
parents or guardian. News.

All Christmas Gifts Being De-
 IiVered Promptly
SANTA CLAUS UP 10 DAEE
Registered Mail Was Dispatched On Schedule, and Postal Carriers Were Working Overtime Yes
 terday-Express Business.

Yesterday was Santa Claus busiest day. He worked the postoffee, the Ex- press company and the railroads to their limit but when midnight came old Santa reported everything in good order.
 Postmaster Hughes was busy on Mon day; he was busier on Tuesday, but the rush at the postoffice yesterday amount ed in volume to more business than that of Monday and Tuesday combined.
 The registered mail was 60 per cent greater than 1t was on Christmas Eve of 1901, and the general mail was much lar ger than ever before.
 At noon yesterday the incoming mail was piled up almost to the ceiling, but the carriers worked overtime and before o'clock last night all the Christmas gifts had been delivered.
 At the express office there was general clearing up before night.
 The express freight dispatched from Birmingham this week was larger by 50 per cent than that of the same week last year. And 1t is a noteworthy fact that the congestion in 1901 was greater than it was this. Notwithstanding the larger traffic this Christmas 1t was han dled more easily than ever before. When the rush started last Monday the in creased clerical force was equal to 1t, and on yesterday the express business was moving smoothly
 The express deliveries were larger yes terday than ever before. Many extra wagons were in service and it was re- ported at midnight that every package remaining in the office would be de- livered before 10 o'clock today.
