of Dec. During our stay in Kansas

and acquaintances whom we have
known for more than a quarter of a
century. The old scenes were natural
to us with material exceptions the
progress of time has made. There are
some we once knew whom we did not
see, but there are marks in the bury

Others we met we never knew. We
find that last years corn crop in that
portion Of the state was a complete
failure, but there was a good wheat
crop, and they have out a large acre
age of fall wheat now, which looks
fine and affords splendid pasture for
cattle. The people in general seemed
to be in a prosperous condition and

Court Proceedings.

Monday morning at $3.50 Judge Gel
ger opened court in this city, although
he was protested against opening court
by the ap pointed judge, J. R. Hamil-
ton, he considered all the cases. most
of them being continued until the
next term, by that time it will be de-
cided who the rigEtful judge of the
18th judicial district is.
We believe that Judge Geiger will
be judge of this district until his sue
cessor is elected by the people, and
not appointed by Mother Stanley.
The matter will be taken to the su-
preme court at once where the case
will be decided upon. Both judges
seemed to be honest in their efforts to
hold court here, and it is an outrage
for such a law to be passed as was last
winter, contrary to the constitution
Of the United States.

CUPID HOLDS FULL SWAY.
inEtOn That OverpOwers All
who Sleep in 1t.

4 love-haunted chamber is some
thing new in spook lore, and it is
a departure from conventional stories
of the weird and eeTie to encounter
an experience in which the god of
love, wreathed in smiles and soft
Establishments, takes the place of
sheet-shrouded wrath OF borrid spec
ter.
There is a certain mansion near
Washington that possesses a haunted
apartment, which, however, instead
of being Stunned by visitors, is
eagerly sought by the young and
sometimes designedly inhabited by
persons of uncertain age, but, like
Barkis, willin'. For it is whispered
through the country, says the Wash
ington Star, around that if an un-
married person but stay overnight
in this room matrimonial prospects
will soon thereafter be manifest, and
if the sleeper be inclined that way,
will take definite shape and eventu-
ate at the altar. Indeed, there are
stories of the potency of the charm
that hovers about the room going
further and enthralling unwilling
captives or those who unwittingly
and with no thought of love have
risked themselves within its magic
portals.
1t is large and CHEEKY room,
beautifully decorated in blue and
gold and rose, with rose-tinted cur
tains and carpet. On one wall is a
panel bearing a painting of Cupid
leading a maid through a tangle of
roses, she Misunderstanding yet half
eagerly following her guide. On the
opposite wall another Cupid beckons
an Apollo, who. nothing loath,
presses ioy"usly onward. The room
was once tine bower of a young girl,
the pride of the countryside and the
light of that household, who, before
Cupid could rivet the siIk-incased
chains he was winding about her,
was called away.
For long time the room was
closed and remained just as she had
left it. Then, after a period, when
the hospitab1e old house again
opened its doors, and one night when
there was a press of company, the
daughters room was given over to
occupancy by guest. It happened
that this guest was maiden rela-
tive whom the gods had punished
for her early scorning of their offers
by Withholding opportunities until
anxiety hau begun to take the place

herself between the Iavender-scenCed
linen of the mahogany bed, and be-
fore blowing out the candle by the
bedside admired the decoration of
the walls and noted the harmonious
scheme that was worked out in the
| Cupids riotipg in the carving of the
footboard.
All through the night she was
half aware of delightful dreams. The
Cupids from the walls and the cary
ings seemed to be busy about her
bedside with garlands and ropes OF
flowers, and throughout their weav-
ing game the Apollo on the wall ap-
peared to be active and to stand out
in a strange, soft radiance CT light
Next day she laughingly told her
story, and when a week later she de-
parted, 10, she carried with her the
heart and offer of the hand Of a
member of the house party.
The next coincidence was connect
ed with the visit of a hardened bach
elor, whom Il prayerIul mother bad
wished for years to see safely in the
leading strings of some good woman
This scornful wretch openly fouted
the story of the love-haunted room,
and defantly offered to sleep within
it, betting a basket of Frances best
vintage that he would come off IN
scathed by Cupid's arrows. With
mock ceremony he was escorted to
the haunted chamber, and left by his
host with an earenst wish for a safe
night and sound sleep.
The visitor noted that the bed was
between the two panels, and he
moved it beneath the panel of Apollo
and Cupid, in a very spirit of bra
vado, as if to dare them to 90 their
worst. Then he blew out the candle,
and was soon snoring most unro-
mantically, as the result of the days
hard hunting. What happened before
morning he would never tell. Sure it
was, however, that he was disturbed
enough to cut his visit short and
leave, being ashamed not to sleep in
the room again, and the family would
never have known the result of the
experiment if the hostess had not a
month later received a letter from
the aforesaid prayerful mother, in
which she declared how thankful she
was that her beloved John would be
married before New Year to a woIn-
an noted for her piety and strong
qualities of mind.
There were other strange coinci-
dences connected with the room that
winter, and when spring came the
mansion was fairly beset with vis-
itors- Oddly enough, many of them
sought to occupy the room. Some,
by shameless strategy, protesting in
credulity in the charm and dispo-
sition to defy it, when all knew twas
but eagerness to reap the beneficent
magic. So were other schemes en-
ployed to entrap unsuspecting and
guileless young men into the fatal
circle, they never knowing why fate
had so swiftly overtaken them.
