Bill to Prevent Marriage of I'm
beetles May Pass
House Aflxes Its Q. 4. in Com
mittee of Whole.
ONLY OPENING WEDGE.
DR.. O'DOnnelI Says 1t Is Start
for Similar Legislation.
One Legislator Said It Should
Include Cigarette Smokers.

DR.. O'Donnell's bill to prohibit the
marriage of persons afflicted with inl-
becility. feeble-mindedness, epilepsy Or
insanity came near falling by the way
in the house committee Of the whole.
Representative Staveiy started its
troubles by moving that scrofulous and
consumptive persons be included in il
He said he was opposed to the bill, bug
if there was to be legislation of that
kind he was in favor of including con-
sumptives in the list.
DR.. O'Donnell said his was meant TO
be only an opening wedge in legislation
of this kind. but he did not think il
best to go too far at first.
Kramer suggested that cigarette
smokers ought to be included in the list,
and was roundly ~applauded.
StaveIy's amendment was defeated,
and the bill was recommended by a
vote of 20 to 26. but this vote would in
dictate that it may have a hard time
getting through on final passage. The
bill IS as follows:
Section 1. No woman under the age
of forty-fve years or man of any age.
except he marry a woman over the agt
of f~orty-hve years. either of whom is

unlawful for any person to marry any
such feeble-minded. imbecile or epileptie
person or any one afflicted with in

been so afflicted. Children born after a
parent was insane shall not marry ex-
ceDt under the abOve-named conditions.
Sec. 2 No officer authorized by law
to issue marriage licenses in his state
shall hereafter issue such a license to
any person either of whom is afflicted
with any of the diseases mentioned in
section l of this act. knowing them to
be so afflicted. unless the female party
to such marriage is over the g of As
years.

male party to such marriage is over the
age of As years.
Sec. 4. Any person knowingly violat-
ing any of the provisions of this act

FUSS OVER A ROUTE.
This May Prevent Building of Pro-
posed Convict-Made Road.

Representatives Ballard and HoIlen-
beck, of L"eavenworth county. are at
loggerheads Owe the question of a state
road between L-eavenworth and Topeka.
When the legislature first convened
Ballard introduced a bill for a state
macadamized road to be built by convict
labor, running west from Leavenworth
to Oskaloosa and then southwest to To-
peka, and from Topeka to Kansas City
by way of Lawrence. A day or two
ago Hollenbeck introduced a bill of the
same kind, except that it starts from
Lansing, five miles south of Leaven-
worth, and comes by way of Tonga
noxie to Topeka.
MI Ballard says that he spent a great
deal of time and about $50 in money
in collecting the data necessary for him
to prepare his bill, and that Mr. HoI-
Ienbeck has copied it. except as to the
route. He says the route he proposes
goes through a territory without all
road facilities. and through a county
seat. while Hollenbeck's route parallels
railroad lines and touches no county
seat between Lansing and Topeka.
Ballard has been working up senti-
ment in favor of his bill for several
weeks and he expects to get it through.

A TOPEKA OPPORTUNITY.
A Good Thing That Should Be Looked
Into, by Men of Money.

A Topeka gentleman has a fortune
within his grasp, but lacks the money
to put it before the people. It is de-
clared better than oil land.
There are a large number of citizens
in Topeka and Kansas, who are famil-
lar with the wonderful discoveries by
DR. T. MacFarland, of certain cheap
chemicals used in his patent portable
furnace for the killing Of prairie dogs.
gophers, chinch bugs. Canker worms
and all other insects that destroy small
vegetables and fruits, but there are
very few who are aware that there is
a great fortune awaiting this doctor in
Texas for the destruction of the cotton
boil WeeVil. which is destroying millions
of dollars worth of cotton every year.
The doctor has spent a large fortune
in procuring his patents, making ex-
periments and tests in many sections
of western Kansas. He has spent most
all of his money in proving that his
chemicals will actually do the work,
and he has in his possession letters
from the field agent of the State Agri-
cultural college, county clerks and 9TH
erS who haV witnessed the destructive
ness of this wonderful invention on
killing prairie dogs, bugs and insects.
Now that the experimental stage has
passed n the machines should be put
on the market in large quantities.. the
doctor is confronted by the hardship
of all wonderful discoveries and is not
financially able to go ahead so as to
reap the great wealth hat is in store
! for him.
Every inventor of great things al
ways think of more, some come by
accident while experimenting with 9TH
ers, and others com by hard work.
The prairie dog and gopher extermina-
tor was discovered by years of hard
work. While working with certain
chemicals he had the assistance Of am
! other gentleman who had a very Sc
we're case of catarrh, and by inhaling
the gas from these chemicals he was
entirely cured of catarrh. That set the
doctor to thinking, so he started to
work upon a certain chemical COM
revelutionizing the cure of this most
dreaded disease. as well as curing cases
of hay fever, asthma, colds in the head
and all bronchial affections in a re-
markabIy short time. A great many
citizens Will remember how the doctor
invited all people to visit his home in
the evening last summer and receive
free treatment for their catarrh
No person in Topeka has any bright
er prospects, providing he had money
to bring his discoveries before the pub
lie. He has been having both machines
manufactured and is selling them, and
they are giving perfect satisfaction but
on account of lack of funds. can only
have a few made at a time, which nee
essariiy makes them cost a great deal
more than they would If they could be
made and handled in large lots.
DR.. F. MacFarland lives at 613 Bran
ner street in a small house, and was at
one time quite wealthy, owning and
operating q sanitarium in western Kan
sas before coming to Topeka.
Some of Topeka's business men
should investigate this matter. for it
might be the means of opening m a
great business enterprise for Topeka,

AppOrtiOnment Troubles Have
Already Commenced.
New Problems Are Arising
Every Day.
OBEENLARGED
Its Population Is Not Up to
Requirements.
More Talk About KaW River
District.

The committee on congressional ap~
D-ortionment in the house is beginning
on its troubles. 1t has to face the
problem Of dividing the state into eight
congressional districts as nearly equal
in population as possible and still pleaso
everybody.
So far the committee has had two
preliminary meetings and has discussed
the apportionment proposition. Chair
man jerks has also written to all the
Kansas congressman to ascertain their
wishes in the matter.
Each district is supposed to have nor
less than 10000 population, but the
Sixth district is already down to 1853, 600,
Sc it is probable that one county will
have to be added to it from the Fifth,
or perhaps more than one from the
northwest corner of the Seventh. This
is a problem that has never been COL
sidered before.
Another problem is how to get sum
Gent population for the new Eighth dis
trict without seriously disturbing the
present arrangement. Considerable ter
ritory can be taken from both h Sew
enth and Third districts, bat it Will also
be necessary to take some from the
Fourth. The Fourth has only 14S,00v
population now. so it cannot spare any
territory without receiving from SOME
other as much as it gives the new
Eighth. If Butler is given to the Eighth
the natural thing would be to put Shaw
nee county back in the Fourth, but
this will make trouble in both Shawnee
county and the Fourth district.
There is a considerable sentiment in
favor of a KaW river district consisting
of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, and
Shawnee counties, as outlined in the
State Journal some time ago, but this
VIII cause a complete Encouragement OF
several districts and will meet with OPP
position from some of the present con
gressmen.
The house committee on congressional
apportionment is made I'd of the fol-
lowing; jerks of Franklin. chairman;
Lewis of Crawford, Watkins of Reno,
Campbell of Bourbon, Taylor of Os-
borne, Bowman of Morris, Hale of
Rush, Emmons of Riley. Brandon of
Butler, BevingtOn of Jewell, Jones OF
Trego, Hayden of Nemaha, Keith OF
Montgomery.
NEW FELLOW SERVANT BILL.
The fellow servant bill. one of the
measures asked for by the labor unions
mittee some time ago, is again in tn,
house. It was introduced by Bale Wag-
gener, but it didn't 90 to the judiciary
committee this time. Instead it was re-
ferred to the committee on state affairs
and it is expected that the committee vii
repor faVorably on the bill. The bill vii
doubtless start a fight on the floor of the
house, but it may be passed if made ap.
plicable to corporations instead of to al
