Judge w. ID. Casey OF Atchison Fails
to Stampede Matrimony.

Atchison, Kas., Jan. 18.-When Judge
W; D: Casey assumed his position as pro-
in the papers that he would marry the
first couple who applied free, and also
give the license. Judge Casey expected
his OFFER to start a regular matrimonial
stampede, but the youth and beauty of
the vicinity failed to take advantage of
the proffer. When the sixth day arrived
and Casey had not taken in one cent, he
threatened to resign. lust as he was
leaving his office however, the janitor of
wanted to take advantage of his offer
w R. Wilson, a gallant groom 81 years
old, appeared with Mrs. Pamela Will
liams, a blushing bride of equal age, and
the free knot was tied. AS Judge Casey's
salary depends upon the emoluments of
his office, there will be no more bargain
offers to the lovelorn.

When it was too late. Miller dis
covered that the ring he had taken
was no diamond, and that the sup
posed stone was nothing but glass.
Then there was something doing in
that vicinity. Miller called an officer
and told him in two or three different
languages how he had been swindled,
and after a short time Alexander was
arrested. Richie was arrested as an
accessory.

diamond r. asked Judge Stanley OF
Miller.

reply. 80,
asked Judge Stanley turning to Alex

'sThat is about the way it was. -
said Alexander. There was nothing
said about a diamond at all. I asked
him how much he would let me have
on the ring and when he said he would
let me have $50. took him at his
word
Judge Stanley, evidently being I'M
able to decide which of the two men
was most deserving of punishment,
continued the case.

WHITE NOT AN EASY MARK.
So Says Tom O'RourIze I'm Discussing
the Britt Match.

New York. Jan. 18.-''Those who
think that Jimmy Britt will have an
easy time with Jabez White says
Tom O. Rourke. reckon without con-
sidering Charley MitchelPs good judg-
ment as to fighters. Mitchell predict
ed that Joe Bowker would beat
Frankie Neil. That was contrary to
what most people thought.
ct know that Mitchell was very
anxious to make a match for White
with Young Corbett before he was
beaten by Battling Nelson. Corbett
preferred to take on Nelson. whom
he had picked as an easy mark, but
with disastrous results. Now Corbett
says he can knock out White in ten
rounds If they fight it might be an
other case of Battling Nelson.
Mitchell will bring White to this
country if he consents to make the
trip. White is in business in Eng
land and may not see his way clear to
come over here to fight At any rate,
Mitchell is a shrewd observer and a
good judge of pugilists. I do not
think it likely that he would bother
with a dead one White is very
clever and a hard hitter. He may not
beat Britt, if they meet, but, banking
on MitchelPs judgment, think the
Englishman will give Britt great
fight"

YANGER TO BOX ATTEL1.
italian and Californian Fighters Agree
to Match in New Orleans.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.=Benny Yanger
and Abe Attell have agreed to sign
articles and meet in the ring at New
Orleans in March. The match was
practically clinched yesterday by Kid
Howard, Chicago representative of the
Young Mems Gymnastic club of the
southern city, and only a slight differ
ence on the weight question remains
to be settled between the boxers.
Attell has asked Yanger to do 1875
pounds at 6 o'clock. This figure looks
a bit low to Benny, who would prefer
12S pounds. The boys have agreed to
compromise figure will be adopted.
The bout is scheduled for ten
rounds and it will be decided during
Mardi Gras week. The club has no
official referee, but in view of the inn
portance of the bout it is possible that
some well known ring official will be
asked to judge the contest.

DIAMOND WAS CHANGED.
Wichita Broker Had a PASTE Game
Worked on Him.

Wichita, Jan. 1S.-Wichita affords
opportunities for investment that are
evidently unknown to some of the
capitalists of the east whose Golfers
are full to running over and who are
glad to get four per cent on their sur
plus cash. If they knew that invest
ments were being made in this city
which figured out 366 z-S per cent.
there would probably be a rush for
this place. and the market would be
overstOcked.
A case in police court this morning
showed very clearly that there is at
least one man in this city who hg-
ures on a percentage that will more
than treble his investment each year
1t also disclosed the fact that there
are other investors who figure on a
percentage of profit even greater than
this and here's the rub
Art Alexander and Ira Richie were
arrested Saturday night at the in
stgation of one Miller, a Jew pawn
broker, who charged them with swind-
ling him out of $50. To Judge Stanley
this morning he said that Alexander
came into his place of business Sat
urday and showing him a diamond
ring asked how much he would loan
him on it for a period of ten days. He
said Alexander represented to him that
he had to make a trip and must have
some money. After examining the
ring, Miller said he would give him
$50 on it At this he said Alexand der
demurred, saying he ought to have
more but that finally ne said he would
go and see a friend and if he would
not let him have the money he would
return and hypothecate the ring for
the sum stipulated. Alexander pre-
sently returned and throwing down the
ring said 1t was the best he could do
and Miller made out a pawn ticket to
show that Alexander was to pay him

Sullivan Given Benefit.

Chicago, Jan. 18.-John L. Sullivan,
who is at present occupying a front
seat on the water wagon, made his ap-
pearance before the Waverly Athletic
club in his lecture, a sort of trave-
logue.
The old fighter was received with
enthusiasm Sullivan spoke well, de-
voting himself to a rambling account
of his travels and experiences and
anecdotes of men he had met. The
hall was packed to the limit.
In honor of the event the city au-
+horities temporarily lifted the ban on
boxing, and there were bouts between

ONE OF BRIsTow7s LAST ACTS.
A Good System OF Rural Delivery fo1
Reno County.

A O0OQ system OF EEuEt&A OCnFCEJ AOA
Reno County.
Hutchinson, Kan.s Jan. 1s.-The
one Of the last official acts of
Joseph l.. Bristow as fourth assistant
postmaster general was to authorize a
county rural mail delivery system for
Reno county. The news came in the
following telegram from Congressman
Murdoch:
Washington, ID. c., Jan. IA.
"W. z. Morgan, Topeka Kas.
Reno county today designated for
county free delivery system
VICTOR MURDOCH
When Mr.. Morgan was in Washing
ton just before Christmas he and Con-
gresham Murdoch called on General
Bristow who had charge of the rural
delivery and asked that Reno county
be given a county system The result
came in the telegram to Mr. Morgan
at Topeka
County delivery means a great deal
for Reno county. The rural mail
routes now cover much of the county
but they were put in one at time and
were usually worked up by postmas-
ters and enterprising farmers who
naturally got the benefits for certain
localities. Under the county system
the routes will be increased in number
and rearranged so as far as practica-
Bile to give daily free mail delivery to
every farmer in the county.

FIGURES ARE AMAZING

New York, Jan. 1s.-In round num-
bers 81, 100000 was won on the Ameri-
can turf in 1904 by only 80 different sta
bles, most of which was competed for
on tracks under the jurisdiction OF the
Jockey club and on race courses al
most wholly within the metropolitan
radius. This sum, large as it is, is not
half the amount competed for through
out the United States last year, nor
does it represent the full amount COM
peted for under Jockey club rules.
The point is that so vast an amount
as the figures above named should
have been placed to the credit of a
comparatively small number of horse
owners, while hundreds of others di-
vided the remainder.
Coming closer to the real issue, near
" every one of the 80 owners is in
racing mainly for the sport that is in
it, and not with any idea of making it
a vehicle of commercial profit.
Appended is list of the 20, together
with their winnings:
