Tho editor OF the Concordis (Kas.)

remarks:
ave have been invited to send a
dollar contribution to the REPUBLICAN,
campaign fund that is being raised by
popular subscription and tc which
President Roosevelt recently subscribed.
We would like to have our dollar in
such select company, all right but we We
done all the contributing we intend TO
this year. We recently have completed
building house at Il cost OF something
over S4.00o and for every foot OF lumber,
every pane Cf glnss, every sack Of
ce ment, every pound Of nails and in
fact for nearly every bit OF material TINT
went into it, we made good liberal
contribution through the trusts that
control them, and we guess we have
done our share. II may be treason for
a republican paper to talk this way, but
facts are facts and il sort OF relieves our
conscience TO tell the truth about the
trusts once i'll a while. Well just let

our unwilling tribute in the past year,
pay our dollar Zoe us. We need it and

Georgia Parson Paid $50 To Get Him
Wife


Washington, May 8.-Miss Lucille
Patterson and her pretty niece, Miss
Edna Kirk, both of Lewiston, Pa, are
charged with fraudulent use of the
mails
By means of matrimonial paper
the government secret service agents
say these women collected sums of
money from men all over the United
States who wanted wives.
In the very peaceful community OF
Ashburn, Ca, the Rev. ]. B. Dozier,
read that Mrs. Patterson was seeking
a loving husband, and he forthwith
wrote her.
Several letters were exchanged, the
clergyman proposed and was accepted.
The bride-to-be wrote asking for her
car fare from Lewistown to Georgia.
The pastor sent $50, but the bride was
not forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr.. Dozier grew nervous
and when his letters remained I'M
answered, he appealed to the postal
authorities at Washington.
Other men who had sent money and
received no bride as per agreement
also wanted explanations.
A large number of other victims to
the tune of from $40 to $35 each, have
complained to the postal authorities
of Mrs. Patterson's matrimonial ne
gotiations. Miss Kirk is alleged to
be an accomplice.
