HOW ABOUT DIVORCES
Question Whether the Statute of Limb
tations Applies.

A queer kind of a case was nled
in the supreme court yesterday. 1t
involves the question of whether the
statute Of limitations can run on d.
vorce proceedings.
Amanda Cul1ison brought suit in
Stafford county against Joseph Guilt
son for a divorce This was about
FIVE years ago. The suit was not
pressed, and no divorce was granted,
though the parties ceased to live to-
gether A short time ago the suit was
revived. and the lower court held that
the statute of limitations had run on
the charges which were made in the
first suit The case is appealed on
the ground that the statute of Hmita-
lions does not apply to divorce pro-
ceedings.
It would be a funny situation if a
divorce should be rendered impossible
provided the parties to an unhappy
matrimonial affair said nothing about
their troubles until the statute of linn
itations had run against the charges.

WHAT GERMANY WANTS
Preparing a Draft of Her Views OF
Commercial Treaty.

Berlin, June 1O.-The German gov
ernment's draft of it's views on the
proposed commercial treaty with the
United States is in course of prepara-
ton for submission to Washington in
July. It is based upon the reports of
the German chambers of commerce
and other commercial authorities.
The Dusseldorf chamber, one Of
the most influential in the Rhenish
WestphaIian manufacturing district,
sent Prince Won Buelow a memorial in
which these fundamental principles
were laid down:
First, the old Prussian treaty Of
1928 must either be formally can
ceIled or extended to the German en-
pire with binding force for the United
States.
Second, if that treaty be cancelled
it must be replaced by a treaty Of comfy
and navigation between the two coun-
tries. Among other things such a
treaty must regulate general naviga-
ton and commerce between them, de-
fine the rights of the citizens of one
country while stopping in the other
and prepare the way for an extension
of copyright arrangements and the
promotion of postal intercourse
Third, a tariff treaty with the
United States must be sought in which
one concession shall be balanced by
another fully or approximately equal
Section four calls attention to sec
ton four of the Dingley law permit
ting reciprocity concessions for only
two wears and expresses doubt as TO
whether the United States government
is in a position to make a treaty at all
without further legislation and Wheth-
or the United States government could

MUM MEDICAL REFEREE
DR.. L. H. Mum Accepts This Appoint
From The Mutual Life of New York.

Mr.. Zion S. Clark, Manager of the
Kansas agency of The Mutual Life In
surance company of New York, an
nounces the appointment of DR.. L. H.
Mum, of this city as Medical Referee
Tor the Kansas agency and chief Medi-
cal Examiner at Topeka. This ar
rangement has been under considera-
ton for over a year and the doctors
consent was obtained on the occasion
of recent visit to Topeka by Dr. W.
z. Porter, Assistant Medical Director
from the Home Office
In connection with a recent post
graduate course in surgery in New
York city, DR.. Mum spent consider
able time in the medical department
at the Company's home Office, review
ing his new and responsible duties.
This arrangement will greatly facili-
tate the prompt issuance of policies
through the Topeka agency and is a
further indication of the modern
methods employed by this great COM
pany to meet the demands of its rap
idly increasing business.
Mr. Clark mentions a steady in
crease of business during the spring
months, Notwithstanding the unusually
long and severe winter just passed,
and states that 1895 will probably
equal, if not exceed, the production in
1904, which was the banner year of
his agency, with a production of a
new paid-for business slightly in ex-
cess of $2,500,0O0.

CURED.
The engineer of train No. 116 claims
he blew the whistle and that the little
girl apparently paid no attention to
the warning. The engineer says that
when he saw the girl was not going to
leave the track, he attempted to stop
his train. but it was too late. The
pilot of the engine struck her in the
back, knocking her into the ditch be-
side the track. The train was stop
ped in half a train length and she was
brought to the company hospital at
Topeka for medical care.

five years and then demands that in
case the treaty negotiations lead to no
practical purposes that the German
general customs be applied to imports

Section five suggests that some al

each country could be secured by the
United States continuing the lower
rates of duties on German goods IN the
list provided for by the Saratoga
agreement to which Germany would
answer with equivalent compensations
but not with treaty rates throughout

Section six reads:
Whatever arrangements are made
must contain provision for supplying
free of cost information about tariff
matters, for the publication Of official
lists of goods with regular supple
ments and for the settlement of tariff
differences by arbitration. The treaty
must also provide for contesting tariff
decisions through diplomatic channels
and for the free circulation of samples
Of goods and each country must

as to the compensation of food pro-

ANOTHER FLAW IS FOUND.
That Crawford Court Bill Having a
Hard Time.

Senator Martin, of Bourbon coun-
ty. while in Topeka a few days ago,
was looking up the record Of the bill
providing for the creation of a new
judicial district Of Crawford county
and placing Bourbon and Linn coun-
ties in a district by themselves.
Senator Martin claims that the bill
was tempered with after being passed.
He says that the bill as passed pro-
vided that the new court should meet
four times a year in Fort Scott
January. April. June, and October.
An examination of the bill, however,
revealed the fact that the word April
has been scratched out, May substi-
tuted, and June scratched out alto
gether.
However, it is rather doubtful
whether the bill is valid in any way,
because it received only SO votes in
the house instead of the necessary 81.
1t was passed in an omnibus along
with a lot of bills which did not re-
quire a two-thirds vote for passage,
and no one seemed to notice that a
two-thirds vote was necessary.

TWO MEN AFTER THE JOB.
That of StenOgrapner to Board OF

Fred Knapp and William Pitts are
candidates for the job of stenographer

Pitts was reading clerk of the senate
The job of stenographer pays 5000

wants somebody in the position who
is not only a stenographer but who
can keep books as well.
The members of the board called
on Governor Hoch yesterday to find
out what rooms they will have as

TRIED TO SHOOT BLITz
John Rice Snapped the Weapon, but
It Failed to Explode.

John Rice. a bus driver, furnished
some excitement at the Gaskil show
ground last night, and was arrested
by Special Officer Charles Miller on a
charge OF assault.
Rice, who was intoxicated, knocked
down an old man about 20 years of
age, and then attacked I. NJ. Blitz, the
jeweler. Blitz struck Rice. who re-
treated a few steps and drew a re-
volver. He snapped the weapon four
times, but it failed to explode. All
the spectators in the vicinity were en-
dangered by the action, as he waved
the revolver around promiscuously
while pulling the trigger. Special
officer Miller arrested Rice. and then
grabbed VIII Hyde, a friend of Rice,
who interfered and threatened the
officer. The old man who was first
assaulted could not be found after the
arrest was made.
The police raided the "Hoot Owl"
joint at $50 last evening, and arrest
ed Roy Daniels, VIII Briggs and
George Wilson as keepers of the
place. The "Hoot" has been one of
the most persistent Notwithstanding

In the Morton case. and that his
friendship led him astray. A majority
Of the republican press concedethat the
president made grave error. If the
officers OF corporations are to escape

the blame goes on the soulless cor.
poration. little can be achieved. It ID
easy for the corporation to pay a
fine, but it would be very unpleasant
for any of its officers to wear stripes.

SUNDAY.

Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincinnati,
in discussing the different uses of the
Sabbath. said:
A score # years ago in little COL
lege town In Ohio. I remember it was
q mooted question whether or not q
Christian might in good conscience go
walking on Sunday. Sunday was q
day of long sermons and tight shoes
and hushed voices.
Ocoe credulitv was easily played by
men like the Reverend Mr.. Bownd
who had declared to his flock that
there was certain nobleman who
for hunting on the holy day was pun:
ished by having a child with q dogs

Yet noblemen. according to psrson,
were to be allowed some latitude In
the matter of Sabbath observance,
''beoause they represent in some meas:
ure the majesty Of God on earth. In

magniicenca and potssaoce of the

But better reason might have been
urged by the preacher for exempting
an English Lord from the rigour oi
the fourth commandment. The com:
msnd says: Six days shalt thou labor.
Since an English lord does no work on
six..days Of the week, there seems to
be no reason to command him to rest
on the seventh day.
