A STRANGE case of rapid transition
was unearthed in the Richland Probate
Court last week. The case was that of
tho estate of Thos. Morris. His wife's
maiden name was Ardilla Freeman.
She first married VIM. Manor, who died
March 81, 1901, and was buried on the
22d. On the 23d Morris proposed mar
riage, and was promptly accepted, and
on the Oath the marriage took place.
Both must have believed that "delays are
dangerous"

STILL AFTER THEM.
City Council Continues to Per-
secute Expressmen.

During short discussion of the ex-
pressmen's stand ordinance, which made
IT'S regular appearance before the coun-
Gil last night City Attorney Spencer
made suggestion about framing the
ordinance. which may be followed. The
members of the council have thrown up
their hands in despair of making city
ordinance on this subject that will not
get some one of them into dire trouble
with his constituency. Having legislated
the draymen off of East Sixth avenue
Councilman Nellis proposed to bar them
from the privileges of West Sixth
Mayor Bergundthal entered his protest
about permitting the wagons to stand
upon Seventh street and the other coun-
cilmen were preparing to boost them
off of any other street they happened
to light upon.
After having had the ordinance be-
fore it several times the committee on
streets and walks made the ingenious
recommendation that City Attorney
Spencer be instructed to draw up an
ordinance satisfactory to all the bus
mess men, It's not my place to legis-
late for you gentlemen" said Mr..
Spencer. when the recommendation was
read, but / can draw up the kind of an
ordinance I think you ought to have.
It's my idea that these wagons ought to
be given the use of every street in the
city with the provision that not more
than two of them shall stand upon the
same side of the street in any block
Isn't all this hullabaloo about the ex-
pressmen unreasonable and foolish? As
a rule the expressmen are men who at
tend to their own business. They are
orderly and have no record for making
themselves obnoxious. They are men
with families who usually make a liv-
ing and that is all. Why should the city
icouncilmen cudgel their brains to drive
these people from pillar to post. They
have already levied a burdensome tax
upon them and now they would drive
them off the streets entirely. No one
has heard of the council going after any
banks or wealthy corporations. It is
so much easier to prosecute the poor ex-
preSSmen.

BELTS IN THE RACE.
He Will Be Candidate for State
Senator

J. B. Belts, who has represented the
north district of Shawnee county in the
last two legislatures, has made official
announcement of his candidacy for the
state senate next year. AS Mr.. Belts
ambition in this direction has been
known for some time. the announcement
is no surprise. He says:
Il have served two terms as represen-
tative from the North side district and
would like very much to round out
my legislative career with a term in the
senate My candidacy is not in the in
terest of any candidate for United States
senator or any other office. 1 have
made no promise to any one so far as
senatorial or other matters and do not
expect to. l think I can do good work
in the senate and if | am elected I will
give my very best efforts toward fur
thering the interests of this county,
Mr.. Belts is the gentleman who a few
weeks ago kindly gave the flood relief
fund what he thought was due from
Cyrus Leland, yet Notwithstanding his
kindness towards Mr.. Leland there
seems to be considera BILE doubt as to
whether Mr.. Leland's friends in Shaw
nee county win give MIR. Belts a very
enthusiastic support.
The north side of the river will doubt
less give Mr. Belts a strong support
He was a heavy sufferer in the flood and
his interests are common with those of
the people of the North side, and he is
besides an enterprising and energetic
citizen.

Death of Miss Grathwole Is No Long
or q Mystery.

Santa Barbara, Cal. Aug. 1S.-An in
quest held today over the remains of
Miss Katherine Grathwole. who died
on the mountain trail developed the fact
that the young woman's death was
caused by heart failure brought about
by exhaustion. The corOner's deputies,
who went after the remains returned
early this morning after a most difficult
and hazardous trip. The body had to
be tied on the back of a horse and
brought over the narrow trail in the
darkness.
Miss Grathwole had requested the
friends with whom she was making the
ascent on horseback to proceed without
her, after half the distance had been
covered, saying that she would remain
until their return. The party went only
couple of miles and then returned Not
finding Miss Grathwole where she had
been left. they proceeded a short dis
lance along the trail and found her
PROSTATE body lying in the sun. Eff
forts to revive her were futile and she
died half an hour later. Miss Grathwole
came to Santa Barbara five months ago
from st. Paul, accompanied by her
mother, hoping to regain her health.
The other members of the party have
returned uniniured.

afterwards they got happy.
The fun commenced when it came

like sardines and about 200 people on
top of the coaches. Officer Lewis PoWell
and Night Marshal E1llerman. OIL the
Emporia police force were on the train,
and Conductor Howard sought them
for aid. There were drunken fights in
every car. Women tainted, beer bottles

conductor and policemen waded through
the crowd and put out the lights in all
