The Matrimonial College.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Professor Morgan of RuslSin university
believes that divorces are caused by wo-
men being unable to understand husbands.
He has therefore decided to establish
department which will teach them how to
do So Mathematics. foreign and dead
languages are discarded as unnecessary
in the bridal course. A working lxnowl-
edge of reading, writing and spelling is
considered sufficient. Special attention is
to be devoted to the housewivery class, in
which the student will be instructed so
that she will know round steak from ham
and eggs, be able to raise bread without
a derrick, to tell when enough prunes are
sufficient and to vary the daily menu
without hash. But although this knowl-
edge Is not as universal as might be
wished 1t is sufficiently general to pre-
vent the lack of 1t being the chief cause
for divorce. The novelty of Professor
Morgan's course will be the psychological
studies designed to fit the graduates to
select a compatible husband. A mans
conduct before marriage, the faculty
holds is no criterion of his fitness; but by
the psychological course the expectant
brides will be trained to study his dlspo-
sition and read his mind. In other words.
the idea at RuslSin is that the proper study
of womanlind is man. But 1t cannot be
pursued by text book

Complimentary Farewell Party.

In honor of Mrs. Morris, who
has been so pleasantly asso-
ciated with the Jolly Twelve
Club this winter, but who has
lately moved to Lead, S. d.,
Mrs. Blackburn entertained a
number of friends at whist at
her pleasant home, corner 9th
and Huron, on Saturday even
ing. The decorations were car
nations, ferns and palms. Miss
Ella Withrow and Willie Black
burn gave a delightful musical
program. The lady winning
the highest score at whist was
Miss Kinks, who was presented
with an Easter rabbit. Mr.. w.
H. Withrow won the gentle
mans prize and received the
chanticleer which crowed at
the last democratic defeat. The
friends of Mrs. Morris pres
ented her with a lovely Havi-
land chop plate in token of
their esteem. Mr.. w. r. Jones
made some happy hits in a neat
presentation speech. Mrs. Nor
ris was very much touched
with this expression of good
will and although entirely taken
by surprise, she very happily
responded. Choice light re-
freshments were served at the
close of the evening. About
twenty guests were present
and all had a gay time during
the entire evening.

TWO.YsAG Old TOT
SERIOUSLY SCALDED
Pan Full Of Scalding Water Psurs
Over Child.

The two-year-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hill, liv-
ing on West street, was the
victim of a most unfortunate
mishap early this morning.
About 8 o'clock Mrs. Hill was
preparing to do the weeks
washing and had just removed
a pan full of boiling water
from the stove and was in the
act of carrying it to a tub
a ross the room. Unnoticed by
the mother, the little tot started
and ran across the room, collid-
ing with her. The painful of
scalding water was overturned
and almost the entire contents
poured onto the baby. The
child is almost entirely covered
with scalds and burns, but DR..
Tamisiea, who is in attendance,
thinks no permanent injury is
liable to result.
The mishap is doubly unfor-
tunate inasmuch as Mr.. ard
Mrs. George Arp, grandparents
of the child, are now in Chi
cago, called thereby the serious
if not fatal injury to their son,
Sherman.

Opportunities
In the South

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veioped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are gradual
ly advancing, as they will for
years to come. Work is plen-
tiful and poverty practically
unknown. Alabama is supply
ing coal and iron to all the
world. More money can be made
and with less labor in the raising
of small fruits and berries and
in truck patching on the Gulf
Coast thai in any other state in

DEFECTIVE MACHINERY
CAUSED INJURY
Facts Surrounding Shcrm Arp's
Eniury Rev Kncwn

George Arp, who has been in
Chicago Tor the past few days
called there by the serious in
jury of his son Sherm Arp has
succeeded in learning the cir
camstances attending the young
mans injury:
At the time of the mishap,
which occurred in the plant of
t h e Allis-Chalmers concern,
young Arp was busy boring a
5-inch hole in a piece of steel
eighteen inches long. No prop
err machinery was provided for
the work, and he first wrapped
a piece OF emery paper around
a block of wood, and then, hold
ing it in his right hand, he start
ed to smooth up the hole in the
steel which was revolving very
rapidly at the time. Suddenly
the block of wood became
wedged and, catching his han1 !,
literally tore it from the wrist.
Only one workman saw the ac-
cident, and before he could stop
the machine the rapidly revolv-
ing steel struck young Arp
across the head, fracturing the
skull.
The latest advices from Chi
cago are to the effect the in
jured boy is now making favor
able progress.
p. A. Cope, of Omaha, treas
urer of the Updike Grain COM
pany, was a Valley visitor to-

Miss Carrie Thompson re-

The Nye Schneider Fowler
Company, of California juno
ton, made a proposition Satur-
day to the Farmers Grain and
Lumber Company to sell to
them their entire interests in
California junction, including,
elevator, cribs and lumber, at
cost, thereby settling the trou-
BILE at that place. 1t is thought
this will close the fight at Cal
ifornia junction.

TWO hlGHwAYMEN BOLD
ROB COUNTER TILL
Robbers Visit Dunn's Lunch
Counter and are Repaid
Well.

With both hands pointing to-
wards the stars and his face
directly adjacent to the wall,
Ross Thomas, night clerk at
Dunn's lunch counter at the
North Western station in this
city, this morning shortly after
three o'clock put in about five
of the most interesting minutes
of his life.
About $3.50 a. m. two men
moderately we'll dressed, en-
tered the eating house, each
with his face covered with a
black mask. Walking directly
to the lunch counter behind
which young Thomas was stand
ing, they covered him with two
revolvers. One of the robbers
then took him in charge and re-
lnforcing his requests with a
revolver stood the luckless
youth up in the corner with
both hands elevated. While all
this was going on the other
robber opened the cash register
and removed the contents,
amounting to about $780,.
They then searched Thomas
and secured a few dollars, after
which they departed into the
stiffness of the night. The po-
lice were soon on the scene of
the robbery but as yet have
made no arrests.

afternoon there was a lively

heated by gasoline is used, AND
Through some defect the gaso-

ling gasoline soon set fire to the
table, and but for the timely
application of several buckets
of water there might have beer
a serious fire.

The tests of the wireless telc-
graph between Washington
City and Annapolis last week
proved successful. Five years
from now the fight for the
right of way to set telegraph
poles along the highway will he
q thing of the past. When the
flying machine is perfected
there will be no more use fer
good or lad roads. A great
age, this.
"Pawnee Bill' has bought a
big tract of land up in Wiscor.-
sin on which TO raise buffalo
for the eastern market. He
says that a good fat buffalo,
when cut up into roasts and
steaks, will sell for $1,000.
Then there is the native stock
you can work onto the effete
fastener for buffalo meat. Big
profit in the business.
Andrew Carnegie has pre-
.sented the skeleton of a Diplo-
deus to King Edward. The
Diplodicus was a gentle little
animal over GO feet long and
fifteen feet high, and weighed
about IS tons, that used to live
out in Wyoming about eleven
million years ago. King Ed
has chad 'em" many a time, but
he never got hold of a brand of
old rye that ever made him
''see' anything like this. There
are but three specimens of the
Dip. in the world and Carnegie
has two of them.
Cornelieus Vanderbilt said to
a friend just before he died:

mine, | can't eat it, | can't
spend it, in fact, never saw it,
and never had it in my hands a
m ment. | dress no better
than my private secretary and
cannot eat as much as my
eoachman, | live in a big serv-
ants boarding house, am both
e:ed to death by beggars, have
dyspepsia, and my money is in
the hands of others who use it
mainly for their benefit"
Carter Harrison was elected
mayor of Chicago yesterday by
about 5000 majority. The cleo
ton proves that poll lists are a
failure. The republican poll of
the city showed that the repub-
lican candidate would be elected
by 10000 majority, and the
democratic poll showed Harri-
son would be elected by 10000.
Every year each party in the
United States spends millions
of dollars taking a poll of the
township, county and state. It
is money thrown away, and
could be saved without doing
damage to either party. The
only place that ballots count is
when they come out of the bal
lot box after election. The poll
before election is a fraud and a
fake and ought to be relegated
to the rear.
