The changing is building bridge
across Fourteen Mile creek at the

been a want long felt as in time Of

and work the Spring Hill and l'ewle-

work other roads in the Fork. The
gang is small in point of numbers
but it is doing excellent work, if
slow.

and furnishing power for manufac-

room for such an enterprise.

GLIMPSE OF MIR. HALE.

The Kansas whisker is evidently go
ing out of style among legislative bodies.
The present list of members has not
been classified as to whiskers, but It is
easy to see that they run more to
shaver faces than in days of yore. This
is in keeping with the fact that the first
bald faced governor of the great state
of Kansas has but recently been elected.
Ten years ago both the house and SEN
ate wore more hair on its face than it
did on its head. In '93 D. McTaggart
and Ed O'Bryan were the only two
faces in the senate without whiskers
The same year nine representatives got
along somehow without hair on their
faces.

Silver Republican. The laws of evolu

wearing any claim to Republicanism IN
even its mildest forms Mr.. Hale does
not look much older than the picture
of him taken ten years ago when he
was a member of the Republican con-
tingent A few more wrinkles, maybe
an occasional gray hair, is the only diff
ference. He wears that same Abe Lin
cOlnish face he had with him in SO, and
the change of political faith does not
seem to have rested heavily on his
shoulders. He is the recognized leader of
candidate for speaker. During the cam
paign Webb McNaH playfuiIy told Hale
that he would go down to Rush county
and instruct him in the art of how to
be elected but McNall must have been
a trif1e careless for he went down to de-
feat while Hale came out of the ba tile
with the flag of victory at his masthead.
Webb McNaH didn't even congratulate
him on his election. Hale has one ac-
compIishment which is entirely outside

case of habitual divorce came before
his notice. He learned that a certain
" oman in the state had three living
husbands and four absolute divorces to
her credit and learned from further in
estigati0n that this much married
female was contemplating a fifth ven
ture as soon as she could find the man
who wanted to be No. 6 and advance
the costs of the case! Although Repre-
sentative Pralle insists that he has not
