A Matrimonial Mistake.

Henry Schaefer, one of the cham
pions Of the North American Skat as
ISOLATION, lives in Milwaukee, and at
Milwaukee wedding breakfast he
said, appropos of rice, the other day:
'"The bridegroom is fond of rice. At
least hope he is fond of rice Other
wise he will be displeased tonight, to-
morrow, next week, next month, when
rice comes falling out of his umbrella,
his hat, his slippers, his gloves. Some
husbands, year after their marriage,
still find rice in unexpected places.
$50 I hope the bridegroom is fond
OF rice. | hope he will never be called
on to say when rice is offered to him
at table what I once heard a sour
looking man say.
"This man refused the proffered rice
with gesture of disgust, muttering:
No, indeed. Oh, no, indeed
"'You don't seem to like rice much.
said the hostess.
"'No,' the man replied. 1T is asso-
ciated with one Of the most distress
ing mistakes was ever guilty Of"

GIRLS DEFY OLD-TIME HOCDOo,

0OlO bdfHSGlS.
Thirteen young women in another
city openly defed superstition the
other day in a room decorated with
skulls and cross-bOnes. about which
stalked two black cats, while open UNI
brellas and ladders made the situa-
ton still more critical. For the last
two years twelve of these women
have been looking for a thirteenth
who should be willing to pledge her
self to become member and follow
the club in it's vagaries. A week or
two ago Con Friday, as luck would
have it) they found her in the person
of schoolm am. On the strength of
this important find the Thirteen club
was organized (of course on Friday
and proceeded to pass thirteen by
laws (secret ones). The next thirteen
minutes were given to the serving of
refreshments, the menus being shaped
like collins, with appropriate decora-
tons of the skull and cross-bones
kind. Thirteen games of euchre were
played, and, as if to give the lie to
yet another venerable superstition, the
winning couple were both married
women, when everybody knows that
luck at cards is unlucky at love-"

A salesman in department store
who possesses considerable wit en-
tered restaurant in the central sec
ton of the city the other day, and
finding the waiter to have been a re
cent arrival from Ireland, told him he
wanted two fried eggs.
Il want one egg fried on one side

salesman added.

II haven't got time. Be quick,

Zone fried egg fried on both sides
and the other fried egg fried On the
other side," muttered the Irishman as
he was leaving the table.
In a few minutes the salesman
heard much commotion in the kitchen
There were loud words and they were
punctuated with sounds which seemed
like blows.
Presently the waiter appeared much
excited, and, rushing up to the sales
man, exclaimed:

in while and are willing to trust the
children to a spinster aunt or d cOlOred
nanny nurse and Providence, while
they take it. The meetings Of the
Congress have been very interesting
and the speakers have been men of
National reputation. Professor Stanley
Hall addressed the mothers Saturday
and Senator Dubois of Utah spoke
tuesday on the menace of Mormonism
and won the sympathy Of the delegates
one of whom replied by thanking the
Senator and sending cold chills down
the spine of mormonism by declaring
that s'we women can never fold our
hands since we have heard what Sen
ator Dubois has told u.s.
The delegates and members of the
congress are thoroughly satisfied of
the benefit to the world of their organ
ization and the least sanguine person
cannot but admit that a great good
has been accomplished by the address
of President Roosevelt which was de-
livered to the congress and about three
thousand outsiders Monday night. 1t
was one of the most eloquent and
striking speeches that the president
has ever made and was delivered with
no less honesty and pleasure than he
manifested when he took the oath of
office. He omitted to pay any compli-
ments to the Mothers Congress and he
specified that work outside the home
for women was an exceptional and de-
plorable necessity but he made an
honest and effective appeal for the
honely virtues, for the cooperation of
parents in the teaching and rearing of
children and for the adjustment of the
modern artificial and pseudo-intellect-
ual life Of women. He paid a glowing
tribute to mothers as mothers (not as
club delegates or presidents) saying
Your duty is hard. your responsibility
great but greatest of all your reward.
[ do not pity you in the least. On the
contrary [ feel respect and admiration
for you" His address was 3 plea for
honest men, virtuous women, parents
who assumed with pleasure the re-
sponsibilities and cares of children and
for happy homes built and maintained
for the good of the children.
The speech is unique as the advice
Of chief executive but that it is one
of the themes nearest the presidents
heart no one can doubt. 1t is a sub
ject upon which he has just begun and
it is probable that we shall hear much
of 1T during the next four years and
read books upon it when he is no
longer president. The president has
said himself that if he could awaken a

The above is good likeness OF
Honorable Judge Grimm, the popular
County Judge of jefferson county, who
is sure Of receiving another term next
April.
Mr.. Grimm was first appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the death Of
Judge Colonius in 1896 10 1897 and
1901 Mr.. Grimm was re elected with
out opposition, which goes to show his
popularity throughout the county
Judge Grimm has proven himself a
most able and satisfactory official and
especially has he stood ready at all
times with advice for widows and
orphans who had dealings in his court
Mr.. Grimm is native of Jefferson
County. He was born on farm near
jefferson on September II, 1859 After
completing his studies in the parochiai
and public schools he took a two-year
course In the jefferson Liberal Insti
tute after which the late Elk Gov.
Francis A Hoffman gave him private
instruction. Then followed a year at
the Northwestern University, Water
town.
It was in 1877 that he took up
the study of law, in the State Univers-
ity of Michigan and was graduated
from this institution in 1879. He then
studied one year in the law school of
Markham & Smith, Milwaukee, and
completed his studies in Col. George
w, Birds Office.
In 1885 Mr.. Grimm began practic-
ing at Jefferson, where he soon built
up a most successful business, until
appointed county Judge in 1896.
There can be no doubt that the peo-
pie of our county desire Mr.. Grimm's
services for another term and he will
again be elected without opposition,

compEshed more for the good of his
country than he could ever effect
through congress, treaties. war or

The senate will probably adjourn this
week without taking a vote on the San
DOMINICAN treaty. If it came to vote
there is little doubt that the treaty
would be defeated and it is thought bv
many of the senators to be more grace
full toward the president if majority
for ratification cannot be secured, and
the deliberations are concluded with
out vote. A suggestion has been
made by the democrats that com
mission be appointed and sent to Santo
Domingo to Investigate the character
of the claims and the stability of the
government and it is likely that the
republicans will accede to this sugees
ton, having as it does q precedent in
the commission set out during Grants
administration. The responsibility
fer the defeat of the treaty is attributed
| to both the friends and opponents of
the administration. 1t is assured that
Senator German has drawn the party
| lines close but the Democrats are no
less positive in placing part of the
blame on the republicans who, they
say have been half hearted in working
for it, in fact desiring to go on record
as voting with the administration while
they in reality opposed the treaty.

WASHINGTON LETTER..
from our Regular Correspondents

The Mothers Congress is still in
session in Washington and has up to
this time discussed all known subjects
that can possibly bear upon the good
of the family, the state, nation or the
cosmos. Designed originally for the
good of children and as an aid to
mothers who are rearing children it
has gradually extended It's work to in
clude legislation on divorce polygamy,
juvenile courts, purity of the press,
patriotism, compulsory education and
host Of other more or less alien sub
jects. The convention in Washington
has been highly successful both as to
numbers and the amount of talking
done and there is every reason to be-
formed during the next three years
and many more subjects for discussion
and debate thought of. Four hundred
out of town members have come as
delegates to the convention and though
there is a model kindergarten and
nursery connected with the congress
there seems to be considerable trouble
to scare up enough children to keep it
going Children which are drug on
the market in other sections seem to
have cut out the mothers altogether
This may be only typical of the race
suicide with which the nation is
threatened or it may be that mothers
of the Mothers club are just like ordin-
airy mothers who want holiday once

ORIENT OPENS UP A LINE.
Trains Are Now Being Run Between
Wichita and Canton.

Trains are now running on the Kan
sas City, Mexico & Orient between
Wichita and Canton, the fine between
Fairview and Canton, having been OPP
ened up for traffic on Sunday last, when
the first regular passenger train was
run from Wichita to that place.
The line between Wichita and Milton
is in a bad condition owing to the
great amount of rainfall the last month.
The grade is one of the best in the
state, but the line is across a very fiat
country, the soil of which is composed
of a very gummy substance and when
one of the Orient's big engines goes
over the track after rain, they sink
into the mud, thus causing low joints
and placing speed out of the question.
To overcome this trouble the Orient has
decided to use rock ballast and in fur
therance of this decision ballasting will
be commenced upon this part of the
road at once, ballast cars now being
loaded for the purpose.
The track from Milton south is in
good shape, especially from Horner and
when the road is ballasted this side,
the Orient will have as good a roadbed
as any out of Wichita or for that mat
ter in the state.

Santa Fe Improvement at
Springer Under Way.
Line Laid Out to Place Tracks
Above Water.
IT WILL COST $685. 900.
Several Residences Needed for a
Right of Way.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

For number of years the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe has been consider
ing the proposition to change its tracks
through Springer in order that they
may be placed above high water marks
and also to avoid the heavy grades out
of that city. A number of SURVEYS
have been made, many maps and pro-
hles have been prepared of routes on
both sides of the Cimarron. Several
thousand dollars have been spent on
maps and surveys alone, but it is now
probable that the work of changing
these tracks will begin soon.
a few weeks ago Woodbury. Howe,
the final locating engineer of the road,
went to Springer and ran a line that
would destroy as little of the town
property as possible and one that will
not require the building of much more
new railroad line. Mr.. Howe located
this line on the east side of the Cimar-
town. 1t takes in quite a number of
residences and other improvements
but not any more than several other of
the proposed routes.
The length of the new line will be
about three miles. and it is estimated
that it will cost about $4,000. 1t will
require five months to complete it, and
a force of fully 200 men will be en-
ployed. The road has been ballasted
above and below the city and two
temporary bridges have been put on
the route to be changed, SO it is under
stood that the actual work of making
the change will begin soon.
Col. Ed r. Bartlett, who has been
employed as right of way agent by
the Santa Fe for many years, went to
Springer a few days ago to secure the
property necessary for the right OF
way along the line laid out by MI.
Howe. He has not had much trouble
in getting property owners on The line
to convey their property to the road.

Missouri Pacific Says They Were Di-
visional Rates Between Roads.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept, Elf the
Hutchinson & Arkansas railroad is the
Hutchinson, Kan, Salt company, the
Missouri Pacific railroad does not
know it. According to the complaint
| filed by United States District Attorney
| Van ValkenblIrg a month ago the
Hutchinson & Arkansas railroad does
/ not own a single wheel under an en-
gine or a car, and all its 1000 feet of
tracks amount to are side tracks, and
every one of its owners is an owner in
| the Hutchinson Salt company, but, for
all that the Missouri Pacific does not
know it. and it does not believe the
two companies are one and the same
concern.
After six weeks preparation the
Missouri Pacific has filed its reply in
tempt proceedings brought by the
United States district attorney for an
alleged violation of an order of the
supreme court granted three years
shippers. The government alleged
| that the Missouri Pacific had been
paying % per cent rebates on all
freight charges on freight originating
on the Hutchinson & Arkansas rail-
road. In its reply the Missouri Pacific
admits having made the rebate up to
December, 1903, but it contends that
the rebate was traffic arrangement
between two railroads, in which the
salt company was not known. Ac-
cording to the reply filed by Elijah
Robinson yesterday, the secretly re-
duced rate to the Hutchinson & Ar
kansas railroad was merely "a proper
divisional rate
The Burlington has not filed its an
swer to a similar suit for contempt
brought against it, in company with
eight other trunk lines.
The railroads may have a tough
time of it to prove they are not in con-
tempt of the supreme court order, but
| the Missouri lines are having a good
laugh over the law which the legis-
lature passed last March reducing
freight charges 80 per cent, in round
figures. The day the new law was to
| have become operative every railroad
| in the state joined in suit enjoining
! the state board of railroad commits
sioners from putting the law in effect,
| alleging that it would mean confisca-
ton of property and ruin the rail-
roads. Instead of the Injunction suit
being pushed, the attorney general
filed a demurrer. The railroad at
torneys are juggling with this de-
bnurrer. 4ssz5@ assts

alone. Time is flying, and the ole
