Pennypaci1er Calls Meeting for Phila-
delphia Next Month

Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 1s.-The
second national congress on uniform
divorce laws. which it was originally
planned to hold at Washington, will
assemble in Philadelphia next month.
Washington was the choice when the
first convention adjourned last Feb
ruary after an exciting session. but
Governor Pennypacker, president OF
the congress, has decided on this city
and the date and has so notified Judge
w Il Stake secretary of the con-
vention.
If a draft Of the proposed statute
which IS being drafted by a committee
appointed at the last congress becomes
come a thing Of the past Delegates
are determined that when a man or
woman wishes to secure a divorce they
must stay at home to get it and that
every state shall have Identical regu-
lations.
Among the delegates appointed by
the governors Of the various states to
this congress are many women. These
with other women who attended the
last session as delegates have an
nounced that they viii try to induce
the governors throughout the union
to appoint more women to attend the
session here.
Judge Stake said today that there
was little doubt that the congress
would be lively, as there must be some
hard fighting done before the final draft
of the statutes which it is proposed to
OFFER before the legislature of every
state is adopted
Divorce is a somewhat delicate
subject to handle before a large audi
ence, said Judge Stake, "and last
February the men were afraid that in
treating the question they might say
something that would offend the wom-
en- delegates
1--WE will not be afraid of that this
time" he continued, "for after we had
listened to one address made by one of
the women delegates seven months ago
we all felt that the room was no place
for simple men
The address to which the judge had
reference was delivel red by DR.. Fanny
Leake Cummings of Washington, who
called hearts, hearts and spades. spades
with capital letters and without fear.
DR.. Cummings VIII be a delegate to the
Philadelphia meeting.
There is no sane man in the coun-
try today who cares for the welfare of
the nation" said the Judge today who
viii not admit the great importance of
the coming congress upon uniform di-
vorce laws.
The meetings are certain to be most
interesting. There viii be about 400
delegates in all"
Since the first congress a subcommit-
tee has been busily engaged in prepar-
ing what viii be offered In all states as
the uniform divorce law. passed upon
the resolutions Of the last congress.
According to these the proposed
uniform laws will absolutely restrict
the right OF divorce in each state to
citizens Of that state; that no divorce
will be granted to persons upon
grounds that would not have been
valid in the states where the supposed
offense was committed: at least three
years required to establish a residence:
trial in open court in every case. and

maintained a post at that point. is the
central figure in a romantic episode
which is about to take place In the
city of New York
He is about to be remarked to his
former wife, Monie Delahay, from
whom he has been divorced for %
years. The marriage will take place
in the city of New York where both
parties live. Col. Hesselberger is now
20 years of age. and the bride is SIS.
Mark ". Delahay, the father of the
woman in the case. is one of the we'll
known Kansans of the early days. He
was among the first settlers at Leav-
enworth, and started the publication
there of The Herald of Freedom"
one OF the first papers published in
the state. subsequently he held Of
fetal positions, and was finally United
States judge for Kansas, preceding
Cassius G. Foster in that office. His
wife was a member of the Hanks
family. and a niece of Nancy Hanks.
the mother of President Abraham
Lincoln.
This relationship resulted in a visit
which Mollie Delahay paid to the Lin
coins at the White House when she
was girl of about 20 years.
MoIlie Delahap's sister married ex-
Governor Osborn, and Ned Osborn of
Topeka is therefore a nephew of Mol
lie Delahay.
While Judge Delahay was living at
Ellsworth the military post at Fort
Ellsworth was abandoned, and the
troops moved to Fort Leavenworth.

berger was a very attractive looking
man, and was reDuted to be Ger

money, and his marriage to Mollie
Delahay was looked upon with ap-
proval by everyone.
Mr. and Mrs Hesselberger lived happily
FOR number Of years and then Col Hes

of quartermaster, got into trouble about
his accounts and was cashiered from the
army This greatly discouraged him. H

he had been accustomed to live. and took

DIDN'T WANT TO MARCH
Soldier Took Train and Is Arrested
In Topeka.

John Wise, though the name does
not seem right is pacing up and down
the corridor of the city Jail bordering
on the troubles OF a soldiers life, and
trusting that the captain of his COM
pany has not booked him as de-
serter. He arrived in the city late
last night and had hardly alighted
from the train until he was arrested
by OFFICER Anderson and rushed to the
police station and booked as a de-
serter.
He is in full Uniform and is absent
from his company without leave and
told a number of disconnected stories
when arrested which resulted in his
being held as a deserter. This morn

SANTA FE NOTES.
Items Chiefly Personal Concern
ing RaiIroad Men.

Owing to the heavy washout on the
main line of the Arkansas river all the
trains for the last twenty-four hours
have been very late The river just
east of Kinsley is way out of its banks
and the water is about two miles wide.
The track has not yet been washed
away. but is very slow and trains are
running a great risk in going over the
track as it now is. The trains for
awhile found that the track on the
cutoff from KinsIey to Hutchinson
through st. John was much better but
since this morning after several of the
trains got through in this manner the
track has been covered with water for
a long distance and in places it is re-
ported to have washed away. Train

Reformed
Spelling

This store has used the reformed
spelling in it's advertising for over
three weeks. Reformed spelling is
not phonetic spelling. We have
found that very few words of those
used by this store need be changed.
The changes that are necessary we
have found are much better than
the old way of spelling. Such words
as thorough, though. through, etc.
are changed to thoro. thru. tho. etc
Words like marked, clipped, finish
ed, etc. are changed to markt.
clipt, hnisht, etc. Watch closely
and you'll find words thru-out our
advertisements spelled the new
way. We have learned to like the
reformed spelling during the three
weeks we have used it.
