Latest Kansas Events.
Divorced Husband Inherit..

A Topeka man ran away from his
wife with another woman. The
wife brought suit for divorce and it
was granted. The Kansas law pro-
vides that divorced person cannot
remarry within six months of the
granting of the divorce. The divorced
wife died just a few hours before
this six months period elapsed, leav.
ing a will in which she bequeathed
all her property to her two small
children. A little later the children
died and then the divorced husband
appeared claiming the estate of his
wife and alleging that as she died
few hours before the expiration of
the six months period he was still
her legal heir. The court held that
his claim was good and bestowed the
estate upon him.

est colors. These articles emanate
chiefly from bureau in St. Louis.
They are sent out at frequent inter
walls for simultaneous publication. A
writer is employed at high salary
to prepare the matter.
Moreover, statements absolutely at
variance with the truth have lately
been published broad cast. These APP
pear chiefly in what purport to be
letters from persons who are alleged
to have gone to Canada and become
disgusted with it. Only few of such
have been published and they con-
tain statements that are absurd in
their falsity. Whether the parties
whose names appear in connection
with these letters have ever been
in Canada and if so, their history
looked into. The discovery of their
motive, like the discovery of the mo-
tive of the interests who are en-
cheering the opposition, may prove
illumining. In the meantime, however,
it may be pointed out that only few
of such letters have appeared but
since 1897 over $1,000 American set
tiers have gone to the Canadian
West. Can any reasonable person
suppose for a moment that if Cana
de was one-quarter as bad as repre-
scented in these letters the $1,000
Americans now there would remain
in the country; or, if the Canadian
West had not proved the truth of all
that was claimed for it, the papers
of every State in the American North
west would not be filed with letters
saying so? Imagine $1,000 aggressive
Americans deceived and not making
short shift of their deceivers. The
feet is the $1,000 are well satisfied
and are encouraging their friends to
follow them.
Anyone who sees any of these dis
paraging letters should remember
that it is railway and real estate in
terests who have from purely selfish
reasons organized a campaign to
stem the flow to Canada. If Canada
were half as bad as represented there
would be no need of such an organi-
za ton. The fact that such exists is
Of itself magnificent tribute to
Canada. Finally it should not be for
gotten that the letters published are
brinful of falsehoods and that 81, 900
| satisfied Americans in the Canadian
West constitute a living proof that
| such is the case.

SECURE A FREE HOME IN THE
FERTILE WHEAT FIELDS OF
WESTERN CANADA.
To the Editor:


The emigration of well-to-do farm
ers from the United States to the
Canadian Northwest has assumed
such proportions that organized ef-
forts are now being made by inter
ested persons and corporations to
stem the tide. The efforts are being
initiated chiefly by railway and real
estate interests in the States from
which the bulk of the emigration
takes place. The movement of popu-
lation has taken from numerous
states thousands of persons whose
presence along railways in these
states made business for the trans
portation companies. The move
ment has also become so widely
known that it has prevented the set
Element of vacant lands along these
lines, parties who might have locat-
ed there, being attracted to the free
and more fertile lands of Canada.
The result of the movement has been
that the railway companies not only
see the vacant lands along their
lines remain vacant, but they also
see hundreds of substantial farmers
who have helped provide business for
these railways move away and SO
cease their contributions. The
farmers have moved to Canada be-
cause they were convinced that It
would be to their financial interest
to do so. In moving they have been
inconsiderate enough to place their
own financial interests before those
of the financial interests of the rail.
