claim to discover in it rotten state

1.-THE truth is that American women
are the purest in the world. They
come nearer demanding of their hus-

the women of any other country.
Hence in America, where divorce

sacred and more faithfully maintain

Big week at Topeka!
Hasn't it been grand2
Standing on a corner,
Umbrella in hand.
Waiting for the big show
Rarading up the street:
Rain UP in our hat rim,
Mud down at our feet;
Little rain drops dancing
On a fellows nose;
Little mud spots flying
On his Sunday clothes;
Everybody looking
For a spot that's dry;
Everybody rubbering
To see the sights go by.
When parade is over
Every body hike
What matter if it's pouring,
Got to do the pike.
Big brown bear a-prancing,
Ferris wheel turns round;
Ladies doing dancing
Rather scantily gowned;
Mouth filled with confetti
By those who wander past,
If you pike it proper
You. have to move I'D fast
Sorry show s a-leaving.
Can't guess how I like
To see the people hiking,
Hiking down the pike.

GILLETTE CASE MOL PRossED.
Young Man Accused of Robblng Flor
 ence Safe Discharged.

The charge of grand larceny against George S. Gullette was mol pressed yes- terday afternoon in the first division of the criminal court. The defendant was charged with robbing the safe at the Flor ence hotel one night during the past sum mer and taking therefrom $500, the prop
 erty of Abner Powell manager of the Att
 lanta baseball team, who was in Birming-
 ham at the time.
 The case was mol pressed by consent of
 Assistant Solicitor J. B. Aird the officers
 who worked up the case against young Gullette and R. H. Forman. proprietor of the Florence hotel.
 Assistant Solicitor Ard addressed the court, saying that he understood that the
 matter had been settled between Gullette
 and MT. Forman and moved that the case be mol pressed Attorney John B. Weak ley spoke briefly in behalf of the young man, saying that one of tho causes for settling the matter with the proprietor was for the reason to save possible civil action against the defendant. Mr. Forman then asked for the case to | be mol pressed, saying that settlement agreeable to all parties concerned had been entered into. Gullette was not in the court room at the time. He has been in the city, however for the past few days He now resides in St. Louis.
