POPULAR WILL FORCED THE BILL THROUGH.

The St Louis Republic is of the opinion that in the passage of the bill admitting the territories of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona to statehood the national house of representatives has again testified to the compelling potency of public sentiment as con trolling the action of that American body
 Republican sentiment in the house was against this measure, and, if the leaders of that party had dared, the bill would have been defeated. But SC plainly in evidence was the truth Of disastrous popular resentment in the event of such defeat, that enough Re publicang joined the Democrats to car " the measure. Seeing themselves beaten. the bosses withdrew open hos tilities.
 Nevertheless. there is still peril for the measure. The chafty republican leaders in the house are said to be con fident that the senate will kill the bill wi't hesitation. manifesting a dis reg the will of the people which the % 'th shorter tenure of of flee for it's members, is afraid to dis play
 This truth of the situation should not be lost on the American public. Popular sentiment in favor of the en- actment of the omnibus statehood bill into law should be so distinctly voiced as to force the senate to a definite is- sue of obedience to the people in a matter of vital moment.

The time for the ceremony was set
for eight o'clock in the evening. and
Rayborn went to the Swartz home
with the Lucas county license in his
pocket. The guests were assembled
and the wedding supper was ready.
The pastor who was to perform the
ceremony stood before the happy
couple and as a matter of form called
for the license. John Rayborn pro-
duced it.
"Whoa!" said the parsOn, "this won't

He called the attention of the groom
to the fact that the Lucas county Il
cense could not be used in Wayne coun-
ty. Corydon, the county seat OF
Wayne county, is 16 miles from the
Swartz home. 1t appeared that the
wedding would have TO be postponed,
but one of the guests suggested that
the wedding party could go over the

PRETTY YOUNG GIRL
Becomes a Tramp So That She Can
Be with Her Husband.
Together They walked frsA New

BraVed Hardship.

Ethel Wells, or Mrs. Robert Douglass,
as she prefers to be known, a pretty
young girl, is in Jail in Birmingham,
Ala, having been caught in the garb
of man. She had come all the way
from New York city as tramp, and
Rcr identity was discovered in st.
Vincent's hospital, where she had gone
to have a foot amputated.
The woman of nerve and adventur-
Gus spirit rode on freight trains, left
her footprints on the muddy surface OF
innumerable country roads, counted a
few thousand crossties, accepted lifts
from kindly disposed drivers of farm
wagons, slept on the ground sometimes
and sometimes in barns, begged and
did odd jobs for what she ate, and
reached Birmingham with nothing
worse than an abscess on her foot.
She endured all the hardships OF
hobo life in order TO be with her hus-
band. She says that Douglass could
not get work al his trade Of iron moui-
der in New York, so he resolved to seek
it elsewhere. Her wOman's heart re-
belled at being left alone and she told
him if one must go, two must go. Doug
lass provided her with an outfit Of male
attire. The work-huntiag journey was
begun. At place after place they were
met by the crowded industrial condi-
tions that make the unemployed. CRY
after city, town after town, they have
turned away from with heavy hearts,
till at last they reached Birming gham.
They had been tramping since Octo-
Der 20.
Then followed the visit to the hospi-
tai, the discovery Of her sex, and her ar
rest. Douglass was also hunted up and
placed in jail.
The woman is 20 years old, Of medi-
um build. weighs not more than 1lO
pounds. has brightly colored cheeks
a small, pretty mouth and blue-gray
eyes. She wore a checked suit OF
Clothes. 2 hlael;, eott shirt, no coiIar, a

shoes.
Her voice was gentle, decidedly fem
mime, and her general appearance that
of a well-bred young woman. Wh5ie be-
ing questioned she would often hang
her head and blush; and while the city
physician, DR.. Charles Wheelan, was
dressing the wound. she shed tears be-
cause of the pain.
