vas asking for the custody of their baby.
Irene Crone, aged Is months, who is
now kept by Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Young,
who are now living with Mrs. Young's
parents at Great Bend.
In their petition Mrs. Crone says she
was in Omaha at the time of the baby's
birth, and that when the little one was
six days old her brother, r. r. Redden
came and took it away from her against
her wishes, and that she has not seen it
since but that it is at Great Bend. They
claim that the Youngs have no settled
home and have no legal right to the
child.
Mr.. Crone in his affidavit giving his rea-
sons for asking the supreme court to take
jurisdiction of the case, says that Judge
Clark of the district court of Barton coun-
ty is out of the state and that the Youngs
says that Mrs. Young has been talking
to the wife of the probate judge and that
she in turn has talked to the judge to in
f1uence him in favor of letting Mr. and
Mrs. Young keep the baby. Mr.: and Mrs.
Young, too, are we'll acquainted In Great
Bend, while Mr.. and Mrs Crone are not

wants the application heard away from

Justice Smith, to whom the application
was presented, allowed the writ. making

MARRIAGE BY PROXY.
[From the Sheffield Globe.l

The curious custom of marriage by proxy
still exists in Holland. A Dutch gentle
man residing in Batavia was recently uni
ted by proxy to a young lady residing
with her parents at Amsterdam. and in
congruous as it seems to our ideas, the
bridegrooms sister represented him and
toe o the lazy IN his nan name for bet
man was tired of waiting for his love
any longer, but found that she would not
be married unless her mother was present.
Her parents would not go to Batavia and
he could not go home. compromise was
happily possible, as they were both Dutch
subjects, by the lady being married with
her relations around her, and she has now
sailed for Java.

To the Public.

About midnight on Saturday, July 10,
one of the pile bents of our bridge
across the Kansas river was under
mined and washed out, causing the
bridge to become too weak to permit
of it's use. On Sunday morning tele-
grams were sent to various bridge
builders to come to Topeka at once, and
on the first train Monday morning, an
agent was sent to Kansas City instruct
ed to get the piles and other material
for its repair to Topeka in the quickest
possible time. Owing to the floods pre-
vailing at that time the market was
quire and shipments had to be made
from Arkansas.
On Tuesday a contract was made with
the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron
company to raise the bridge and make
the permanent repairs. We had ex-
pected to receive traffic across the
bridge as soon as it was raised, but we
find that some of the temporary piles
which were driven to raise the bridge
have got out of perpendicular and we do
not think it absolutely safe to carry
traffic across it, and therefore have con-
cluded not to ATTEMPT to do so until
the permanent piles are in place.
l have kilograms this morning saying
the material may be expected on Sun
day or Monday and it will take about
three days to complete the repairs after
the material arrives.
We regret exceedingly the inconyeni-
ence this delay causes the public and
have and are using every possible eff
fort to get the work done as quickly as
possible.

It was near night, and he was at a loss

The man seemed to take this as chal-

The First WOMAN.

An Old Eastern Legend That Tells
How She Was Created.
The last. section .sOf Finger Of the
Moon Reddened by the Setting Sum- in
the Sanscrit work called the ''Surging
of the Ocean of Time contains a legend
concerning woman's creation which is
commonly credited throughout India,
and which runs somewhat as follows:
At the beginning of time, Twashtri, the
Vulcan Of Hindoo mythology, created
the world. But when he wished to
create woman he found he had en-
ployed all his materials in the creation
OF man. There did not remain one
solid element. Then Twashtri, per-
picked, fell into a profound meditation.
He reused himself to do as follows:
He took the lightness of the leaf and
the glance of the fawn, the gayety of
the SUMS rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconsistency Of the wind, and the
timidity of the hare, the vanity of the
peacock and the SOftneSS Of the down
on the throat of the swallow, the
harshness of the diamond, the sweet
flavor of honey, the cruelty Of the tiger,
the warmth of fire, the chill of snow,
the chatter of the jay and the cooling
of the turtle dove. He melted all this
and formed woman. Then he made
a present of her to man. Eight days
later the man came to Twashtri and
said:
my lord, the creature you gave me
poisons my existence. She chatters
without rest, she takes all my time,
she laments for nothing at all and is al
ways ILL.," And Twashtri received the
woman again. But eight days later the
man came again to the god and said:
my lord, my life is very solitary
since I returned this creature. 1 re-
member she danced before my singing.
I recall how she glanced at me from
the corner of her eye, that she played
with me, chung to me-" And Twashtri
returned the woman to him. Three
days only passed and Twashtri saw the
man coming to him again.

stand exactly how, but I'm sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure. beg Of you relieve me
of her."
But Twashtri cried. go your way
and do your best!'
And the man cried, II cannot live
with her!'
Neither can you live without her.
replied Twashtri.
And the man went sorrowfully away
murmuring, ''WOe is me; can neither
live with her nor without her."-Col
lier's Weekly.
