LEAVENWoRTH ROMANCE.
Girl Chooses Between Rivals, Gets Di-
vorce and Marries Other.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 12.-The
marriage in Kansas City of Lieutenant
Claremont A. Donaldson, Twenty-third
infantry. and Miss Mabel c. Roth of
Leavenworth, is the elimination of a
romantic attachment existing between
the young people for more than three
years The wedding, however, was a
surprise to most of the relatives and
friends of the bride. 1t was known that
an engagement existed but the marriage
was expected to take place early the
coming winter.
Lieutenant Donaldson first met Miss
Roth in the summer of 1902, when he
came here and attended q candidates
school, preparatory to taking an ex-
animation for second lieutenant in the
regular army. He was a corporal at
that time. Lieutenant Donaldson court
ed Miss Roth and it is said that they
were engaged in the summer of 1902. He
had a rival for her hand in the person
OF George Kimmel. son of Peter Kim
mel, proprietor of the Chicago Dye
Works here. Young Kimmel is a ste
nographer and is now holding a govern
ment position, which he secured by
passing civil service examination.
1t is said that rivalry for the hand of
Miss Roth between Lieutenant Donald
son and Mr.. Kimmel was spirited, and
at that time the influence of the rela-
tlVes of the young lady was in favor of
the young army officer and somewhat

influence on a girl often reacts the
wrong way, and it did in this case. The
rivalry for the hand of Miss Roth end
ed in Mr.. Kimmel winning her for a
bride
The married life of Mr.. and Mrs. KIM
mel did not prove happy and before the
first year ended they had serious domes-
tic troubles. which ended in decree of
divorce for the wife, granted in the dis
triet court of Geary county, Kansas
Her petition accused her husband of
neglect and cruelty. He accused her of
extravaganza, but did not contest the
divorce suit. Mrs. KimmeIs maiden
name was restored
After the divorce was granted Lieu
tenant Donaldson returned with his
regiment from the Philippines and learn
ing of it renewed his suit for the hand
OF Miss Roth and the sequel was their
marriage.

With an energy almost inconceivable
Mrs. Drouin spent hours of each day
writing letters to prominent people in
this city, warning them of attempts

The apartments were found to contain
vast quantities of mineral and medicinal
waters, designed to destroy the efforts
of the people with the electric fluid.

That's what it was and don't you

The following is from the Atchison

What might have eliminated in a
serious encounter between Cyrus Lee

politician, and his bFother-in-Iaw,
Albert Perry, of Troy. Kas., was avert
ed by the interference of friends in
the Wathena Chautauqua yesterday
afternoon. Both men were in att
tendance at the old settlers day cele-
speakers on the platform in the taber-
nacle. Leland had been CHOSEN chair
man, and was the first to speak
Perry is a prominent Democrat, and
was called upon to give a short ad-
dress during the programme at the
request of the pioneers. During his
remarks he referred to the issuance
and sale of some railroad bonds by
the commissioners of Doniphan coun-
ty in the sixties. Perry declared that
the Troy Chief had recently misrepre-
sented the facts regarding the issue
always had a different opinion re-
garding this issue ana seemingly re-
sented this reference by informing
Perry that his time was up.
my time is not up" replied the
speaker. Your time is up. and you
will have to quit retorted Leland.
my time is not up. This is an old
settlers meeting, and I'll talk as long
as I want to-" the angry brother-in-
law responded in a passion. At this
point Leland jumped to his feet and
pushed Perry aside, when James N.
Gibbins, an old settler on the plat
form, who later spoke, persuaded
Perry to be seated. While Gibbins
was arguing with Perry. Jack Pry, a
pioneer, stepped forward and was in
troduced by Leland as the next speak
er. and the meeting went on without
further interruption.

The above four grades of coal will
be used this winter by the city. Last
winter no slack was burned and a
steam nut coal was used in place of
the straight nut; it is a lower grade
coal.
The slack is used at the electric
light plant and in cases of emergency
when it is difficult to get a sup
ply of steam mill coal on demand. 1t
will also be used to supplement the
steam mill coal, though not considered
so economical Units steam producing
qualities.
From October of 1904 until the end
of May, 1905, 54.6 tons of coal were
consumed at the city prison. The coal
burned was the Usage City shaft at
$3.50 and the total cost amounted to
$193.96. At the city building and
Auditorium the cost of heating with
steam nut coal at $2.S2 amounted to
$2S1.63 or 99.S tons. This was from
the month of November to April.
The city electric light plant consumed
S2,SS1.45 of the steam mill coal at 80 az
per ton from the month of November
1904, until the end of July, 1905 This
represented total of 1881 tons of coal
The average per month represents

WHERE THE WORK is DONE.
The Kansas VIII Float First in the
Delaware River.

The Kansas VIII Float First in the
Delaware River.
Camden, n. j., Aug. 1.-THE yards
of the New York Ship Building COM
pany, where the Kansas is being built,
are at the southern end of Camden and
on the Delaware river, opposite Phila-
delphia. They comprise 141 acres
with water frontage of $500 feet on
the east bank of the river. Extensive
dredging has given the company a
depth of forty feet of water at low
tide along the entire water front.
All of the other shipyards in this
country are the result of many years
growth and development. A few have
built steel ships from the first, but
even these were not thoroughly equip
ped, and machinery and tools for
handling large work were only sup
piled in after years. The yards at
Camden were established in 1898. The
officers of the company are: DeCourcy
May, president; Charles S. Hall, gen
eral manager; S. NJ. Knox, secretary
and treasurer, and w. G. Randle,
marine superintendent In addition to
the Kansas the company is now build
ing the battleship New Hampshire
and the armored cruiser Washington.
The Kansas is being built under the
direction of Captain Joseph H. Linnard,
naval constructor. Some of the largest
warships in the navy have been con-
structed under the eye of Captain Lin
nard and he is considered one of the
most efficient officers in the naval con-
struction corps. He has charge of gov
eminent work at the shipyards of the
New York Shipbuilding company,
Cramp & Sons and Neafie & Levy, all
in the vicinity of Philadelphia. He is a
Pennsylvania and graduated from the
Annapolis academy in 1877. He was the
constructor in charge of the building of
the battleships Mississippi and Idaho,
the armored cruisers Colorado and Ten
nessee and the protected cruiser st.
Louis.
