WEDDINGS WILL BE NUMEROUS
Record This Year Will Probably Beat
That of 1901.

Three hundred couples got married in
Sumter county last year, and while
this seemingly large number of PEG.
pie coolly and deliberately went forth
hunting for trouble there will be even
larger contingent TO wear the double
yokeethis year. Judge Allen, of the
court of ordinary, says that the average
has been we'll maintained thus far, and
he counts upon a multiplicity of marii-
ages from now on through the Christ
mas holidays. Times are better and
this fact usually is conducive to matri-
mouy, though when a couple decide to
go down the pike together the blind
bride is used and financial conditions
cut no ice for them. May last year 8
record in Amerlcus be doubled ere 1902

Tho Leland Plan.

The Hiawatha World which has
been close to Mr.. Leland for years
says:
1.-The candidates and their friends
are working early and late. State
politics hinge on the choice for gov
ernor, the candidates being Bailey,
Troutman, Miller, Richter all good
men. Miller and Richter are old
soldiers and are accredited with the
soldier following. Bailey and Trout
man are younger men and are max
ing strenuous efforts to win. Bailey
has among bis followers Cyrus Le-
land, Morton Albaugh, Gov. Stanley
and Cong. Long. The strongest OF
these two men, Stanley and Long,
will have the vote Of Mr.. Bailey's
representative friends for United
States senator. II the stronger one
wins, the weaker one will 60 to con.
gress 10 the Seventh district, or else
be given good federal appointment.
In the interest Of the Bailey-Long.
Stanley.Leland combination candi-
dates for representative will be
brought out in every district in the
state. Simon Fraser is their legisla-
tive candidate in the Hiawatha dis
trict. II they succeed in electing
him 1t will be bis duty to vote as di.
rected by them and this duty he will
perform as the Curtis men are fully
advised and certainly know. 1t is
the further intention OF the combine
-four years hence to elect Mr..
Bailey as the successor Of Senator

picion that it prefers to have the

To Protect Rural Mail.

A new paragraph in the postoffice
appropriation act for 1903 serves
notice that Uncle Sam intends to put
a stop to the destruction OF roadside
letter boxes on his rural mail routes.
On the old star routes where the resi-
dent along the line puts up any old
soap box as a receptacle for his
daily or weekly mail the government
has nothing to say. These unap.
proved mail boxes may be rihed with
IMMUNITY or shot to pieces by sports
men, miscreants or proving jewellers.
But the moment the postmaster gen.
eral sets the seal Of his approval on a
rural mail box, as will be done on all
the routes established or to be estab-
lished under the rural mail law, that
that moment the box becomes
United States mail box and the pub
lie is subject to the following official
notice served in the appropriation
act mentioned:
Whoever shall hereafter wilfully or
maliciously injure, tear down, or
destroy any letter box or other re.
ceptacle established by order Of the
postmaster general or approved or
designated by him for the receipt or
delivery Of mail matter on any rural
free delivery route, or shall break
open the same, or wilfully or malici.
ously destroy any mail matter de-
posted therein, or shall wilfully take
or steal such matter from or out OF
such letter box, or other receptacle.
or shall wilfully aid or assist in any
Of the aforementioned offences, shall
for every such offence be punished by
a fine Of not more than $1,000, or by
for not more than
three years.
1t would be well for the newspa-
pers Of Kansas to call attention to
this new rule Of the department,
neglect Of which is a serious offense
ind punishable by heavy fine or
Imprisonment.

Hope is a mighty tough place for
a wide awake newspaper man. The
editor Of the Dispatch held back his
paper one day this week to get a sen.
sation and then it failed him. A
spoony young couple had falling
out. The boy refused to be reconciled
and the girl threatened suicide and
told all the other girls that II he did
not make up at once she would be
dead before morning. "Oi course"
says the editor, ave arranged for a
special reporter and delayed writing
locals expecting big item, but the
girl is still eating regularly and the
boy is still able to attend school,"
That is pretty hard luck.
