RIcKN1AN IS ARRESTED.
Man Who stole Employers Daughter
Must Answer for Perjury.

Jasper Hickman was arrested yes
terday on a warrant sworn out by his
father-in-law who accuses him of per
jury in securing a marriage license
when he married Miss Winkerwink.
On the Fourth Of last July Jasper
Hickman and his sweetheart Miss
Edna Winkerwink, came to Topeka to
celebrate the day and along IN the
afternoon, having spent the first por-
ton of the day in discussing the situa-
ton went to the Office of the probate
Judge and secured a marriage license.
Later on in the evening they went to
the Methodist parsonage where they
were married by DR.. w. c. Evans and
then returned to their homes near
Willard where they have been since
that time.
The suit for the hand of his daughter
was discouraged by the elder Wink
erwink and Jasper Hickman had even
more difficulty in seeing his wife than
he had when she was his sWeeth cart

for her family had not been Informed
of the marriage.
He finally informed his wife's father
that they had been married on the
fourth of last July and then a scene
ensued and last night the irate father
in-law came to Topeka and after in
vestigating the truth of the statements
of his son-in-law had him arrested
charged with perjury.
Winkerwink claims that his daugh-
ter is not of age and that Hickman
committed perjury when he swore that
she was over eighteen. This is a case
similar to two or three that have been
started in this county and dismissed
when they reached the city court. as
the license in each case was issued by
George Flanders. an office deputy and
notary public. Judge McCabe has held
in each of the other cases that unless
the certificate has been issued by the
probate judge that perjury can not be
committed. This case will be tried
before Justice williams of Oakland.

Selecting Volunteers,

Whenever the United States has
been at war with any other country 1t
has always been matter for serious
complaint on the other side that the
Americans take accurate aim before
fring-with extremely fatal results.
How excellent was the craftsmanship
Of the volunteers on Bunker Hill is a
matter of record. There is an inter
esting entry in the diary of John Har-
rover, an indentured schoolmaster of
Virginia.
Colonel Washington, Of this col.
ony," he wrote, being appointed gen.
eralissimo Of all the American forces
raised and to be raised, made a de
mand of five hundred riflemen from
the frontiers of this colony. But those
that insisted on going far exceeded
the number wanted, when, in order tC
avoid giving offense, the Commanding
officer chuse his company by the fol
| lowing method.
He took a board of foot square
and with chalk drew the shape of q
| moderate nose in the centre and nailed
1t up to a tree at one hundred and
fifty yards distance and those who
came highest the mark with a single
ball was to go. But by the first forty
or fifty that fired the nose was al
blown out of the board, and by the
time his Company was up the whole
board had shared the same fate.

Arts. zone must choose between the
married and the intellectual life,"
maintains a woman official of the Uni
versity Of Chicago. There would be
no sound if there were no ears to hear,
and likewise art and literature would
be without value If there was no pos
terity which had Inherited literary and
artistic appreciation. Mans work is
but half done if be gives only art and
no artists, only books and no writers
to the world Intellectual strength
and artistic temperament must be per-
petuated In blood as well as on paper
and canvas. No muse, however allur-
great effort as the clinging dependence
and loving faith of wife and children.
He works best who works for someone
else that loves him. Love is the great
source of power throughout all the
universe. Harriet Beecher Stowe
rocked the cradle or made bread be-
tween the lines of Uncle Toms Cab
in" yet it stirred a nation as few
books have. What artist may decide
that his art has reached the highest
point Of perfection; that 1t is the ex-
ponent Of highest inspiration and
greatest possible skill? Mountains do
not rise abruptly from the plains. He
may be only one of the foothills in a
chain, which, If unbroken, will at last
blend with the sky That glorious
crown Of horticultural art-the Amer
lean beauty rose-did not bloom in the
fullness Of its deep-hearted loveliness
on the humble parent wild bush. Gen
erations Of patient pruning and trim
ming, of preserving the best and cast
ing out the worst, of combining and
thus strengthening the fine qualities,

rose and the mature, perfect American
Beauty. And the end may not yet be.
SO it is with men. 1t took seven gen
erations Of ministers to produce an
Emerson, and it Is written of Ra-
phael's father that he might rank as a
great artist had he not been so unfor-
tunate as to have a son who outclassed
him. The vital truth is larger than
literature and art alone. Goethe sound
ed the deeper and broader worth of a
man when he said: Whoever has
best served his own people in his time,
he has lived for all time" Men be-
come immortal through their children
more often than through their work.

brary," a department Of the Legisla-
ture in charge Of experts In finance,
law, economics, history. Its function
is to furnish to the Legislators impair
tial information bearing upon any
bills, enactments or measures which
the lawmakers have under considera-
ton. If a legislative committee is con-
sidering a bill, the librarian finds out
what has been done In other States
and other nations, discovers all the le-
gal relations Of the problem, and helps
to phrase the bill so that it will work
if it becomes law Thus much blum
dering, much unnecessary legislation,
many evils that result from hasty, in
experienced legislation will be checked.
The courts are always struggling with
ill-phrased, ambiguous, contradictory
laws. Indeed, the judiciary depart
ments waste much time gathering up
loose ends left by the legislative bodies.
The idea of the reference library Is not
to interfere with or influence legisla-
ton, but to assist 1t, clarity 1T, and re-
late it at its inception to the legal ex-
perience of the world which 1t must

Bad water Is said to kill more sol
diers than are slain by bullets, and it
is not improbable that If statistics
were obtainable they would show that
more sailors perish in accident Of one
kind Of Notwithstanding shipwreck
than are lost in battle. Disasters
like that which overlook the Bennlng-
ton are by no means rare and their
victims aggregate great number of
men. When the hazards Of the sea
are added to the peril Of explosion Of
magazines and steam boilers the sailor
takes almost as many chances In peace
as in war.

have come to stay. Only the other day

New York refused to weaken one of

 New York, Oct. 26.--A protracted meeting of the intercollegiate football rules committee was held tonight at the Murray Hill hotel, as the result of a conference of football officials two weeks ago when the new rules were discussed.

Hartford. Oct. 26.-A new crusade slo- gan of the Women's Christian Temper- ance union was born here to-day at the opening of the national convention of that body. It emanated from criti- cism made during the worlds conven- tion in Boston, that the organization was weak in it's plauditory outbreaks, but after to-day's demonstration such a claim will have no basis in fact. This new cry, say the delegates, is destined to echo round the world.
