He wants to borrow few hundred dol

the city brother who receives a salary

KANSAS A HORSE CENTER.
Some of the Fastest on the Turf Are
by Sundower Sires.

To the Editor of the State JOurnals
The recent sale of the great PAGER
Dan Patch G:591a) for the cash sum of
$50 600 has naturally brought the whole
harness horse world to its feet in an
ticipation of big boom for the best Of
such horses.
Perhaps occasionally some of US make
a little fun OF sunny and breezy Kan
sas, but there is something in the air
or condition that leads to distinction OF
both man and beast, so it was quite in
order that the sire of the great Dan
Patch was bred and raised IN this state,
as we'll as that the sire of the champion
CreSceus was raised and developed
here. While we note with admiriug
glances the great performances which
Oflen bring small fortunes and much no
toriety to the iAmQBous nillionaires Of
the effete east, we sometimes forget that
some of these very champions have been
as it were a part Of us. Maxine, the
fastest 4-year-old trotter in 1902 and for
whom $1,000 was refused last September,
only recently left her Topeka owner, W.
H. Bradbury, and this leads the memory
back to the long list of distinguished
sires that have held their court in this
vicinity. Those now remem bered in

HIS MARITAL TROUBLES.
Wealthy Richard ROesner Must
Think They Are Endless.

Because Richard Roesner, of NcPher-
son county. refused to marry her after
she had come all the way from Germany
to become his better half, Mrs. Ernes-
tina Schwerdtfeger sued Roesner for
breach of promise. and she won her
case. Now Roesner has brought an APP
peal to the supreme court
This is not the first time ROesner has
been in the supreme court recently, and
woman was the cause of his other
case. Roesner used to have a wife Of
his own but she became enamored of a
neighb0r and got a divorce from ROes-
ner. ROesner brought a suit for dam
ages against the other man for alien
aLing his Wife's affections This case
was fought through the supreme court,
and finally decided against Roesner.
After the first Mrs. Roesner secured q
divorce R0esner began to cast around
for another wife. He told his friends he
wanted good German woman to be-
come Mrs. Roesner No. ,. At length one
of them told him of a widow over IL
Georgendorf, Germany. who might
marry him. and Roesner wrote to her.
Their correspondence ended by R0esneI
sending the Widow Schwerdtfeger trans
DOrtatiOn for herself and her son to
come to Mcpherson county. She came
to the home of their mutual friends. and
her his 700 acres of rich Mcpherson
county land. his horses and cattle and
hogs, and the Widow Schwerdtfeger
was duly impressed with them and got
ready for the wedding.
But Roesner said nothing further
about getting married and when the
buxom widow preached the subject to
him he said he had made up his mind
not to marry her During his courtship
of the widow across the sea the court
had decided that Roesner should pay his
first wife SIS a month for the support
of their child. This, he explained to the
widow, was all he could stand notwith-
standing his wealth. and the next morn
ing he sent the Widow Schwerdtfeger
back to her friends.
The widow said she wasn't used to
such treatment vet already, and would
Mt stand it still. She said it was M
way to treat a lady who had come ali
the way from Germany to get married
already
Accordingly she consulted P. J. Gale,
