MUST BE HEALTHY
Diseased Persons Are Not
Allowed to Marry
LEGISLATURE PASSED LAW
First Couple Compiled With
Law Yesterday

Upon marriage affidavit in Judge VIII
sons office yesterday appeared the words.
we swear that the above named parties
are both possessed of good health and
sound minds and that neither is diseased
in any way" This statement was out
of the ordinary and led TO a number of
queries from persons who looked over
the affidavits during the day.
The parties who signed the affidavit
were Z. j. Johnson and Miss c. E. SUIT
ton. both of Newton, who were the first
to comply with a law enacted by the last
session of the legislature. -nlch pro-
vides that no diseased person eitnfr OF
mind or body shall be allowed to marry.
The law refers particularly 10 hereditary
diseases and mental disorders, but in the
future every couple applying for mar
riage license must nave good health and
good minds in order TO secure Judge
Wilson's consent 10 marry. Although
the law has been in force for some time
il was never enforced in this city until
yesterday, when the above named couple
made application. The new affidavit
books have not been received in the pro-
bate judges office and the old ones have
no provision for such i stateI3lA Wich-
ita parties who wish TO marry at present
have to be pretty well qualified. If either
party is a minor he must swear that he
has the consent OF his parents; if either
party has been divorced he must swear
that he has not been divorced within the
past six months; and now the law steps
in and says thar he must be sound of
mind and body if he wishes TO enter the
bonds of ma trimony. The judge has had
no cause yet 10 refuse 10 grant license
because OF the new law but he has the
statute book containing the section
opened up at the proper place and the
first person filing the hill who makes
application will be INTRODUCED to that
Darticnlar section.

WOULD GIVE $1,000
6. Gehring Wants Gas Well
Drilled Here
TO BE $500 FEET DEEP
Dexter Wants to Pipe Gas to
Wichita

Yesterday Mr.. G. Gehring announced
that he would head a subscription paper
with $1,000 TO secure a fund to drill one
well near this city to a depth of $500 feet
to ascertain whether there is gas or oil
near Wichita. Mr. Gehring is greatly
interested in getting oil or gas near this
city He has attempted to secure an
outfit and drill On his farm southeast Of
town but has been unable to get an out
tit 10 move here. He wants TO have il
demonstrated, however. that there is gas
ard oil near here or not. lie desires 10
have this city use gas for fuel and light
and the only way to secure this is 70 find
whether there is gas to be found within
a few miles Of Wichita, n II there is
none TO be found there il lumber of
companies ready TO b2gi laying pipe
lines from points in the ga. U5lt TO Wich-
tia Mr. Behring's offer h-- been sub
nitted to the Chamber of Commerce and
Mr. e T. Allen, who has charge of the
work expects to start his work today
TO see what can be done TO have a well
drilled Mr.. Allen has secured leases on
a large number Of farms near Wichita,
on any one OF which this well may be
drilled.
DR.. NJ. A Mcclellan has received sew
eral letters from the Gas. Oil and Devel-
oping company Of Dexter, who desire ii
lay pipe line to Wichita. This company
owns leases on 1900 acres of gas and oil
rands southeast Of this city and well OF
5000 900 900 cubic feet was shot a few days
ago and the drillers are now putting
down a second yell. This company has
a Capitalization Of 81. 900, 90 and is push
ing the work on its properties as rapidly
as possible and will open new wells as
fast as the drills can get into the gas
sand. Mr. J. H BagnelI. the vice presi-
dent and manager of the company. has
asked for information regarding the STU
alton in and around Wichita. This COM
panv has the wells and wants same place
to dispose Of the product, and Wichita
is the nearest point. it is sixty miles
from Dexter to Wichita and the gas
could be brought here at no great expense
and sold at 25 cents per 1000 cubic feet
with good profit to the company. The
only thing that keeps a pipe line fcDA
coming here is that they have no assur-
ance that gas will not be found within
p few miles of Wichita. IN that event
their line would be worthless.

CUDAHY TEAM WON.
They Defeated Semi-ProfessionaIs by
Score of 2 TO O.

League baseball In Wichita was usher
ed in Sunday afternoon at the fair
grounds by the fastest and one of the
best played games ever seen on a local
diamond. the game being played in the
unusually short time of fifty-five min
utes and the attendance was big and all
expectations of the managers of either
team. the grand stand being nearly filled.
The article of base ball that was put up
is one that will draw larger crowds than
ever attended any game in Wichita.
Both teams were on their mettle and
played the game for all it was worth,
the Cudahy team carrying off the honors.
Murphy. who handed up the twisters for
the Cudahy's was invincible. having
tightening speed and perfectcontrcI
There were a few errors made behind
him, but they were not Of the costly
kind. coming at times when there was no
one on the bases. King, who was in the
box for the leaguers pitched an excellent
game. keeping the hits that were made
off him well scattered. the two runs that
were made coming in on a hit in short
left by Jones. the ball falling in some
tall grass where the fielders had some
trouble finding it. He kept the Cudahy
boys close to the bases not allowing one
TO get off. Huffman and Price. both
made some fine running catches of foul
hits. Lightner who made two errors at
short redeemed himself by making
sensation running catch Of a fly of
Kings bat in the eighth inning
The scSring was done in the fifth in
n'ng IN tits way: Cleary was first up
and wcnt out. King TO Porter and Motifs
struck ont. Haser was next up and
hard groun5cr which got through Jack
man. reaching FIST safe. Jones who came
next hit n fly just out of reach Of Jack
man falling beyond short a few feet
landing in the grass. and before it could
be recovered. Hager and he had crossed
the plate with the first and only runs Of
the game. winning the game for the Gu
dahy's. After this there was nothing
doing in the scoring line. although the
bases were filed by the Cudahv team
in the seventh inning. but the league
team got out Of the hole by some hard
work. The teams win play again next
Sunday at the fair grounds and an in
teresting struggle is promised. Managers
Marcum and Quigg say they will have
theim full team i nthe field by that time
and they will do their best to redeem
themselves from the defeat OF .today At
