Great Northern railroad circles
are all torn up by the action OF
the bonding company which
bonds the passenger conductors
in causing the suspension from
service yesterday Of thirteen
conductors working outof Grand

The bonding company is re-

Pinkerton detectives who were
sent over the line and recently
reported are said to have secured
evidence that a number of well
known railroad men are taking
more than a working interest in
the welfares Of the road.
Several discharges it is said
will result but some of the men
who are under suspension will

back.
The bond company which has
the bonding Of the Great North

"MARRY-oR BE TAXED"
A Kansas Experiment to BE Tried BIZ
the Mayor of Severance.

A Kansas Experiment to Be Tried by
the Mayor Of Severance.
Mayor Wyncoop Of Severance, Kan,
has issued a proclamation warning all
bachelors within the corporate limits
that if they shall persist in bachelor
hood the present leap year they will be
subject to a tax which the city coun-
Gil. with his sanction, will Impose. says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The mayor of Severance in taking
this action, however, does not refrain
content with merely warning the eligi-
BILE men of that town that they must
prepare to face the alternative. matri-
mony CT taxation. He is willing to do
his part toward solving the problem
for them-that is. he has in his Off
cial capacity requested the young wo-
men of the town to improve all OF their
leap year opportunities. In his judg-
ment, it is their duty first of all to Sc
lect among the bachelors the mel they
wan for husbands, and, having made
their selection, it is then their duty, as
he views it, to go after them-to pur-
sue them persistently, remorselessly
and everlastingly until they surrender
Internationally. "a man." says the
mayor Of Severance, who will not
marry and support a wife is not much
Of a citizen"
Every rule has it's exceptions. and no
doubt Mayor Wyncoop lays down this
dogma with certain mental reserva-
lions. There have been good citizens,
many of them. who married or
supported a wife. Doubtless there are
many bachelors today, and confirmed
bachelors at that, who are regarded
by their neighbors as fairly good citi-
zens. But as a general proposition a
mans good citizenship is always more
or less in peril until he meets all Of its
obligations. even though some OF them
may seem unjust and even cruel.
The country in general will watch
the Severance experiment with great
interest. Universal curiosity will be
aroused over the outcome of a proposal
which will determine in a measure
how much some men are willing to
submit to in the way Of an odious
taxation rather then run the risks Of
matrimony.
