Married life Of United States Senator
Thomas C. Plat and wife, formerly
Mrs. Lillian Janeway, Is about 10 emu

have reached the point where she may
strike the first blow. While the senator
has hesitated about bringing suit, IL

that the suit has already been brought.

who sprang into fame by virtue OF her
conspicuously beautiful figure in the
days of living pictures. This actress,
Mrs. Plat alleges, has been ire

CHAPTER II.

In the shadows about the door, yet
outlined with sufficient clearness against
the black oak of the wainscot. a face
stared in upon us. Around the head,
crowned with a black skull-cap, fell a
thick growth of white hair that was
saint-like in length and beauty; the
beard was Of the like venerable purity.
In a man of his apparent age the
cheeks were curiously rosy, while the
hand that held open the door was small
as a woman's and delicate as old ivory.
For a moment 1 thought that the eyes,
exaggerated by the convex pebbles OF
great gold glasses, turned upon me with
an expression of malicious satisfaction

NEW KANSAS RAILWAY MAPS.
Topeka State Journall

The first installment of the cor
rected railroad maps of Kansas
have been received by the state
board of railroad commissioners.
These maps for 1906 were made by
a Buffalo concern and the first ones
turned out were found to be incor-
rect, SO they were returned and
new and correct ones were made.
The new maps show several new
lines OF railroad completed and pro-
posed. One of the new lines is the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient ex-
tension from Wichita to hatfield
Green, in Chase county. When the
last map was put out the Orient
had just reached Wichita. An
other new line is the Kansas, Den
yer & Gulf, running from Spring
vale, Pratt county, to Kiowa, by
way of Medicine Lodge. The I'm
ion Pacific line from Topeka to
Onaga is also shown. One of the
proposed lines is the Great Bend,
Enid & Gulf. According to the
new map this line is to run from
Hays in Ellis county, southeast
through Hoisington, Great Bend,
st. John, Pratt and Harper to Ar
kansas City. The Orient from
Matheld Green to Kansas City is
also shown among the proposed
lines as is the Union Pacific from
Onaga on to Marysville. The new
map is very much like the map put
out by the railroad commission a
year ago, but the colors are better
and the lines are more distinct.

WRECK NEAR ISABEL.

The east bound Santa Fe passen.
ger on the Englewood branch was
wrecked three miles west of Isabel
last Thursday afternoon but no.
body was injured. Spreading rails
was responsible for the mishap.
The two coaches and the mail and
baggage car left the track and
rocked over the ties a distance of
about 200 feet before the engine
could be brought to a standstill.
The tender was turned over on one
side and one side of the engine left
the track. A freight extra happen
ed to be at Isabel and it went out
and brought the passengers. The
cars were put on the track the fol-
lowing day, the track repaired an d
traffic renewed. J.. D. Mathews of
this city was on the wrecked train
and he says it was the toughest
ride he ever had although he escap-
ed without the slightest injury. He
says the passengers were thro wn
around very hard and it was al
most a miracle that no one was
hurt.

A WHEAT SPECIAL.

The Santa Fe railroad will run
a wheat special through the Kan
sas wheat belt two weeks, begin
ming next Monday, August 13th.
The faculty of the State Agricu1-
tural College have volunteered to
give two weeks Of their time an d
make a tour of the Kansas wheat
country on this special and talk to
the farmers at every station on
live agricultural subjects, giving
information on how to select a nd
obtain better and purer seed, how
to prepare ground to grow better
crops of all kinds, how to improve
the herds and such general infor-
nation that their years of study
and research has given them. Of
course, 1t is not presumed that
these learned gentlemen know it
Fall' but they can and will tell the
farmers some things that will be
of great benefit to them.
The gentlemen who will accom-
pany the train are Profs. Ten
Eycke, Miller, Willard, Brown and
Shoesmith, all of whom are we'll
versed and have had much actual
and experimental experience. The
train is scheduled to arrive in Med
icine Lodge at AS P. NJ, Monday,
August 18th, and willremain about
a half hour. Every farmer who
can do so should be at the Santa
Fe depot promptly at that time to
hear these speakers. The train
will make schedule time all along
the route and it is therefore nee
essary for those who desire to meet
the special to be certain to be on
hand at the appointed hour.

nent members of the Medicine

G. Q, ,P. CONVENTION SEPTEMBER sTH.

The Barber county republican
central committee met in this city
On Saturday and set Saturday,Sep-
tember 9Th, as the day to hold the
county convention. The primaries
were set for the previous Thursday
the 9th. All of the aspirants were
present but aside from the pie eat
ers and the pie smellers the enthu.
! siasm was in the neighborhood of
zero.
The ticket has been practically
agreed upon. In the sheriff race
Hugh Rankin, Tom Kenny and DIR.
VanNess have been entered. Van
Ness is already out of the running
and unless he can make deal with
one OF the Others he will not even
be a factor. Kenney and his friends
claim they have everything by the
appendage and down hill pull
but 1t appears to us that that omi-
nous funnel-shaped cloud which
destroyed his prospects at SO many
slttings just as he was about to
walk away with the goods, is be-
ginning to creep up on the western
horlzen again and he will lack lust
a few votes of making it at the
home stretch. Tom is good start
er and a fair quarter hoss but he
can't finish. From the standpoint
I of party service he is entitled to the
| nomination and he is by far the
strongest man of the three. If
nominated, the democrats will try
to defeat him but they would much
| rather chuck" either of the other
candidates.
Bill Gesner has the nomination
for representative in his vest pocket
and no other has license to butt in.
Clark Rackley for clerk of the
district court and Frank Warren.
treasurer, are on easy street. Their
nomination is conceded.
]. F. Thomas of Turkey creek
and Frank Frame of Elm Mills
want to be superintendent. Thorn
as was brought out by the machine
because they didn't want Frame.
If Frame wins it, it will be a single
handed victory. In republican
convention that is next to ;.npcs-
sible. as.- x ....
| c. E. Thompson and G. F. Guth.
rie of this city and Murray Davis
of Lake, are out for register of deeds.
| The candidacy of Thomas in the
| Third district for superintendent
has put out Murray's glim, Thomp-
son has fighting chance but Guth-
rie has the machine.
1t is hosS and hoss between lake
Walstad and Steve Ireland for coun-
ty clerk, but if it is true that r. S.
Crane of Deerhead is flirting with
the brethren he is quite liable to
stop both of their clocks.
w. I. Collins is nominated for
probate judge now and Sam Griffin
will be drafted again for county
attorney although he says he will
not stand hitched.
E. G. Davis will take the nomi-
nation for surveyor if no other pa
trlot can be found and DR.. Moore
will have a hard time to get away
from the nomination for coroner.
b. E. Wadsworth says he will not
take the nomination for commits
sloner of this, the first, district and
some of them who seem to have a
grudge against Capt. ]. N. Titus
want to add to his troubles by
making a commissioner out of him.
