TRIED TO KEEP 1T SECRET.
But Dorothy Marshall and Ray Hall
Had Trouble to Get License.

Miss Dorothy Marshall. the 19-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. ]. Mar
shall Of 219 East Eleventh street, and
Ray Hall we're married Thursday after
noon at Valley Falls. TIE marriage
was of the ,;opement variety lnasinUch
as the patents of neither o: The young
folks We're aware of their intentions.
Ray Hall, the groom, who is pro
fessional musician and who has lived in
/ Topeka the greater portion Of his life,
is a Valley Falls at the present time
where he is filling 2n engagement With
carnival company which is playing
thee curing their caua.v far.
The couple planned TO be married
Wednesday and the bride was TO return
to her home n Topeka and the mar
rage was o have been kept secret
t. alize that a mar 'iage hs-ua- could
rot be secured in Valley Falls as mat
is not a county seat and they iii 1T
want to get a license iif this county
tor fear that their friends would hear
! Of it, and this was the reason that the
marriage was postponed for day While
the groom made trip to ,)sklloosa at
/ ter the necessary license.
! Mr.. Hall also feared that as he is but
10 years of age that mis- parents might
! take a hand in the matter and crush his
desire to possess himself Of wife ne-
fore he had become of age Being sue
cessful in securing the license he re-
turned to Valley Falls and d 3 o'clock
they were married by Rev 7. A. Martin,
pastor of the Valley Falls Methodist
/ church.
It was the intention Of the young
| bride to return to Topeka as soon 50
/ the marriage ceremony was performed
and to accompany two of her girl asso-
ciates, Miss Maude House and Miss
Edith Ogden to the circus Wednesday
evening, but the trouble in securing The
/ license caused the plans 10 be changed
/ and led to rumOrS of the marriage
/ reaching the brides mother and caused
her to start an investigation which re-
suited in the story becoming public.
When Miss Marshall did not arrive
! at her home the evening after thr chow
her mother called up Miss House who
/ told her that her daughter had decided
| to stay all night with Miss Ogden ana
occurrence, nothing more was thought
| of the matter until the following day
! when she did not come home for dinner.
| when one OF the girls who works with
and insisted that Miss Marshall was at
her accustomed place all morning and
had just stepped out for lunch.
Evidently the young folks had clev-
erly planned their matrimonial venture
with the single exception of securing
the marriage license and had posted a
number of their friends as to what
would be expected of them.
Miss Marshall has been the cashier
at Crosby Brothers store for the past
year. and the year previous 20 accept
ing that position graduated from the
Topeka high school where the groom
of yesterday was also a student. They
have been almost constant companions
and sweethearts for the past four years
and there was not the least objection
to the marriage on the part OF the
members Of either of their families, ex-
cepting that they wished them to wait
until they were a year or so older.

the defendants-the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, the Union Pacific and
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific

The first suit is one for damages of
$4,000 brought by John Pierson of
Horton against the Rock Island. Pier
son claims that he has been perma-
nently crippled because a building at
the Horton shops which was faulty
constructed fell down upon him. The
railroad got the case transferred to the
United States circuit court.
The second suit is one brought
by Kansas City. Kan. against the
Union Pacific and the Rock Island
Jointly. The city attorney of Kansas

BAILEY AND HIS SPEECHES.
The Ex-Governor Is Talking on Gen
eraI Issues.


Ex-Governor W. J. Bailey was in To-
peka today on his way home from lola,
where he made a political speech. He
Was in conference with some of his old
political friends while in the city.
Governor Bailey's speeches this cam
paign are mostly on general issues. The
following is a quotation from his lola
speech. from the lola Register:
It do not expect to talk on specific
issues but more upon general conditions
that prevail. 1 want to say. to the Re-
publicans. that upon the result of the
campaign in Kansas this fall depends
much. The present fight in this state
between the Democrats and the Repub-
licans is really the first skirmish of the
fight two years hence when we hope to
re-elect a Republican president. Some
of you may not like all of the candidate
upon the county ticket or the state
ticket. but 7 urge you to be loyal to your
own party. All life is a compromise
And for the sake of the party two years
hence. if for nothing else, I urge you
to be loyal to the ticket"

hold that Carr Taylor the attorney. Is
entirely to blame for this waste, claim
ing that he did not draw the petitions
properly
When Carr Taylor was informed
this morning of the amount of the
costs in the two cases. he said:
II did not think the costs would be
so heavy. but I hold that the board Is
entirely to blame for such costs. When
these cases were first brought asked
the board to transfer the hearings to
Ashland. which is right in the center
Of the district Interested. The railroad
attorney objected to this and the
board decided that they would hold
the sessions in Topeka. Had the ses-
sions been held at Ashland. the ex-
pense for witness mileage would have
been very light. There is a petition
on file with the board from the cattle
men asking that the hearing be held
at Ashland, and this, too was disre-
garded when the railroad attorneys OBJ
5ected to going away from Topeka.
The railroad attorneys and the mem
bers of the board have transportation.
and it would have cost them nothing
but their hotel bills to have held the
hearing at Ashland.
Another thing the board might
have done was to send one or more of
its members with me. as attorney, to
take the dispositions of these witnesses
at their homes This is the proper
way to get such testimony"
Mr. Taylor subpOenaed a number Of
the railroad freight agents to come be-
fore the board with their records, and
they appeared, but none of them made
any claim for witness fees or mileage.

An effort is being made to win
the support of the farmer vote for
the Democrats on the ground that
the farmer has no share in the
benefits derived from a protective
tariff. This is one of the specious
pleas of the free trade party, and
one that the farmer listened to in
1892 to his loss and sorrow. The
farmer is one of the largest gain
ers by protective tariff, if not
directly, then indirectly. The
farmers best market, as he knows,
is not the export but the home
market. The home market is de-
pendent upon the purchasing ca
pacity Of the home consumer, and
the home consumer is dependent
upon his labor. II his time is full
ly occupied at good wages he buys
more farm products than when he
is idle, and this demand sustains
high prices for all things that the
farmer produces. Knock out the
protective tariff and the farmer
will land just where he hit the
ground 80 hard after the election
of 1892.

BY returning Congressman
Rhodes to Washington for another
term the people of the Thirteenth
district cannot place their conf
dence amiss. His eminent service
during the time he has held the
seat in Congress from this district
entities him to another term, that
the work he has mapped out for
the benefit of the district may not
lapse, as it must if a Democrat Is
elected in his stead. Let the vOt
ers of Washington county lay
aside all prejudice and give recog-
milton to the worthy talents and
worthy service of an adopted son
of the county. Let them vote for
the man who unequivocally stands
for protection on lead, barytes,

for protection generally. How
greatly our interests are involved
in sending such man to represent
us is shown in the comparison of
prices on lead when the Democrats
last made the tariff laws and the
price today.

Our Prosperity at Stake.

"No nation has ever prospered
as we are prospering now, and we
must see to it that by cur folly we
do not mar this prosperity.' This
was the declaration and deliberate
assertion of President Roosevelt,
given in his speech at the Union
League banquet in Philadelphia
four years ago, and the people
followed his advice thea by elect
ing Republican House OF Repre-
sentatives to continue the policy
under which such prosperity had
come to the American people. The
majority of the people were deter
mined that there should be nc
Democratic folly in changing the
policy of the Government. Fol
the last four years the prosperity
of 1902 has continued and increas-
ed. 1t has doubled the production
of the country in the ten years
since the policy took the place Of
the Democratic policy under the
Cleveland administration.
The situation toda y is just what
it was in 1902, only with more al
stake through the increase Of pros :
perity. The advice which Roosc-
welt gave in 1902 is excellent nd
vice for today. There is no great
personality in the campaign, as in
a presidential election, bat there
is as much at Issue and the con-
tinued success of the President
and his administration is as much
in danger now as it would he in a
presidential campaign. If there is
not Republican House of Repre-
scntatives to work in harmony
with the President and the Senate.
his policies must fail. They can
not 90 forward with a hostile
house to set back in the hree ching
and refuse to CO operate in lcgi@la-
ton, unless it shall be guided by
Democratic folly.
President Roosevelt has said
that it wculd be grave danger to
prosperity today if The people fail
ed to endorse the action uf the
Fifty-uinth Congress in lis first
session, and elect another kapuh-
iican Congress to succeed it and

of the school book publishers by
endeavoring to secure an order
from a majority of the board to
change certain text books now in
use. Mr.. Fox, we are informed
by the Independent, freely admits
that change in these books would
be for the advantage of the pupils.
and his only reason for opposition
was that by holding on to the un-
desirable books less expense would
be incurred by parents having
children at school. Now whatever
the Independent stated in this con-
nection, it took exceeding great
care, apparently, not to say that
MIR. Houston had nothing what
ever to do with the recommended
ton for change of text books.
The recommendation, as the Inde-
pendent must know, originated in
the office of our Democratic state
superintendent of public schools
and were sent to the boards Of ed
ucatlon III every county IN the
state. In most of the counties the
recommendation was acted upon
probably without demur CT fear
that such action was playing into
the hands of the book publishers to
the injury of the public. There is
also nothing in the independent 5
article which sets forth the fact
that there is no legal compulsion
upon the parent to buy any school
book recommended by the state
superintendent Of public schools
or the county board of education.
He can supply his children with
such pooks or not, RS he sees tit,
and is therefore sole arbiter of
this expense. 1lr. Houston in en-
deavoring to follow the recommend
atiou from the state educational
department only did what he con-
ceived to be his duty in the best
interests of the schools of the coun
ty, and the Independent puts Mr..
Fox in q foolish pose by represent
ing him as the champion against a
raid by the text book publishers.
1t should be remembered that the
party which has honored Mr.. Fox
with the nomination for probate
Judge il this county is the same
party which, while dominating the
Legislature some years ago, passed
a law which enabled the book trust
to raid the pockets of the people
of Missouri for Il number Of years.
and which was repealed by the last
legislature. which Was Republican
in the lower house.
