WoMAN's MONEY HER OWN.
Arkansas Court Holds That Legal
Rights Of Wives Make Property
Subject to Larceny.

It mas been held by the lower courts at
times that q man could not steal from
bis wife and vice versa The supreme
court Of Arkansas has recently handed
down a decision which declares that a
man may steal from his wife.
The case in which this decision was
rendered was that Of the state versus J.
r. Hunt
Hunt, q saloon keeper, married Miss
Maud NeVills, who had q bank account
Of about six hundred dollars. Almost
Immediately after their marriage he be-
gan to Try to get possession Of IT,
Mrs. Hunt, while willing enough to
share with him whatever income It
might bring, would not give It to him alb
solutely. He prevailed upon her at last
to give him a check for the amount, with
the understanding that he was not to use
Il, but invest It in q piece Of property for
her. Hunt obtained the money and lost
no time in leaving the state with another
woman. They went TO St. Louis, and
were finally tracked to Los Angeles. BE
was brought back 10 Arkansas to stand
trial
Hunt was indicted and convicted IN
circuit court for grand larceny and sen
fenced to Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for I've years From this be ap-
pealed 70 the supreme court
On the appeal the main question raised
by the attorneys for Hunt was that 3
man could not be technically guilty Of
larceny q his Wifs's goods. because the
law regards them IS one person, and q
nan may not steal his own.
In an opinion delivered By Chief Jus
tee Bum the court declined to adopt
this view, holding that. While At con-
mon law the legal unity of the husband
and wife made Il Impossible for the one

It's great importance first under Speak
er Reed with the adoption Of the new
rules Of the house, under which all the
most important legislation was enacted

mittee was kept busy all the time. In

When Reed came back to the speak

that matter. Cannon himself was out.

his powerful individuality and his DO
sition as chairman of the apprOpria-

That Results IN Disturbances.


Prof James =. Kemp. Of the chair OF
geology at Columbia university, had this
explanation to give Of the New England
earthquake:
The earth tends to 60 more and more
slowly as Il rsvolVes. on account Of the
baekdrag Of the atmosphere, 80 Il tends
to become more and more nearly q per-
feet sphere and less aattened at the
poles.
ALSO there is q kind Of interior
shrinkage due 70 loss Of heat, and this
produces a shrinkage ct the surface
which may produce the disturbances.
The original place Of the disturbance
was probably under the sea. and 1t com
munlcated itself to the land"
A. W. Grabau, professor Of paleon-I
tology. said: I do not believe that the
disturbance was Of volcanic origin
There have been none such in this part
Of the world for fair number OF years. %
Prof. Graham was asked what he
meant BY a fair number Of years.
Say about 1900. 900 years" he con-
tinued, gravely.
The last volcanic eruption here
abOuts was the one that made the pali-
sades on the Hudson, and that
was back in the triassic period. In New
England we are positive there has been
no serious disturbance for thousands Of
years, because there are powders there
which have not been disturbed within
that period"

Number Of White Buffalo Surprised

Found an Explanation

Old buRalo-hunters Of the western
Kansas prairies used TO ten Of having
seen and pursued white buffalo. There
were white buffalo, albinos, such as are
found at rare intervals In all the fami-
lies Of the animal kingdom; but the
number Of those which existed in fact
and Of those which existed purely In the

In 1873 old Ben Garfield, who roamed

companion, followed q herd Of buhalO

Oklahoma TO the sand-hills Of Nebraska,
thinking to kin a big white bull which
he had seen IN the herd. After three
weeks Of patient stalking Can6eld did

ness Of its appearance was due 70 a coat

An explanation Of this phenomenon
would not be needed by people familiar
with the natural lime beds Of western
Kansas. The habit Of the bufalo Is to
roll or WsllOW in every pool Of water or

Playing on Boom OF Logs and Fell In the

The bodies Of Percy Harris and
Kenneth Wiley, the two little boys
who were drowned in the lake Sun
day night at Ham ison, we're recovered
Monday morning at o'clock. The
bodies we're found near each other,
and the supposition is that when one
boy fell In, the other tried to help
him out and was himself pulled In.
No one witnessed the accident. 1t
was some time before the boys were
missed, and on account Of night
coming on no systematic search could
be made until the next morning.
The funerals we're held jointly from
the Methodist church Tuesday at 2
O'Clock under the auspices Of tho
Maccabees and Rebekah logdes, Of
which the parents Of both boys are
prominent members. Schools and
all business houses we're closed dur
ing the funeral hour and the attend
ance was very large.
