The Farmers Need 1t.

Exchange.
Farmers enjoying the benefits OF
rural mail delivery feel the need OF
better means for transportation OF
small sums OF money. At present the
only plan is through the use OF cur
rency or stamps. Small amounts thus
sent are always liable to loss. More
than this, they afford an unusual
temptation for theft. The government
owes it to the farmer to provide more
ADEQUATE means. In his recent report
the postmaster general indicates the
great need Of some better method.
The post-check system, II is oel1eVeo'
would answer the purpose advantage
ously. A bill providing for this was
introduced during the last session, but
time for consideration was too short
During the present session probably
this matter will again come before
Congress. In this event farmers
meetings would do we'll to investigate
the matter and pass resolutions favor

resolutions we're placed in the hands

Excitement.

Excitement
I,eavenworth. Kas, June HI. z.
Farnum a Kansas City man, came 70
this CITY in a vain search for his
daughter Mabel. who according to the
father eloped from Kansas City with
a neighbor named Charles P. Cannon
and came to this city where the
father ascertained that they were
married.
Fhe story is a rather peculiar one
and the romance just as unusual.
Farnum was at police headquarters
Yesterday and stated that he with his
family and Cannon were going TO
Oklahoma in covered wagons on a
summer trip. Cannon had gone up
town in Kansas City for the osten-
sible purpose of buying supplies He
had hardly gone when the eldest
daughter of the Farnum family,
young woman of p years, remem-
bered that her mother needed a pair
of shoes. Her father, suspecting moth
ing, gave the daughter his pocket
book containing about fifteen dollars
and she started for town. She failed
to return and the father at once
suspected that she had eloped with
Cannon.
Farnum somehow found out which
way they had gone and followed
them to this city, but got here too
late. He stated that they had ar
rived here a number of hours ahead
of him, and after being married had
started out on the trip again, leaving
him behind. He thought that they
had started toward Enid, Okla, and
is going there after them as rapidly
as possible in an endeavor to recover
money and daughter.
The second case brought to the at
tention of the police yesterday was
that of the wife of Charles Hamlin, a
resident of South Leavenworth, with
a man named Lee Gurn, formerly a
boarder at the HamIin home. The
husband of the woman was the com
plainant in the case. He says that
Gurn had been paying attention to his
wife for some time, but that he had
expected no such termination of the
matter. He felt certain that the two
had eloped, and thought that they
had gone to the st. Louis fair to-
gether
