The Expected Happens.

The successive flurries in Wall street
have eliminated in financial panic of
no small dimensions. 1t is a disaster
that was inevitable. 1t has been threat
ened time and again, but through heroic
efforts has been postponed At last
conditions were such that the break
could not be prevented and the crash
came.
1t is the fruit of frenzied finance-of
''unexampled prosperity" There has
been an era of wild financiering-of
combining properties and capitalizing
them at double and treble their true
worth. Actual values have been ig-
nored. The result is that the financial
institutions of New Yorkrhave been
loaded down with these speculative
Securities-watered stocks-as eollat-
eral for loans. So long as the market
value of these securities was maintained
at a fictitious level, the collateral was
sufficient. The banking institutions
that made loans on ii were prospecting
as never before. The spectators were
paying higher rates of interest than le-
climate business enterprises could afford
TO pay. But when the slump came
when the maintaining of prices became
burden that the Morgans and Rookie
fe,lers and the allied groups of tinanciers
no longer could bear without involving
themselves in ruin-fctitious values
faded away and the collateral no longer
secured the loans The "undigested
securities" of which j p Morgan COM
| planned several years ago now have be-
| come Sickening reality.
With the slump in fictitious values
with the squeezing out of water in the
stocks and bonds of the inflated cor
porations-there is bound to come dis
tress TO legitimate business. Vast
amounts of capital that should be avail
able for use have been diverted 10 the
pockets of the financial geniuses that
have been engaged in combining cor
porations and by the mere process of
making two and two add no to eight
have flooded the market 1ith their
worthless shares. And while the frenzy
has been on, ii has been vastly profit
able to the banking concerns that have
been used TO finance them. Commits
sions running up into the millions have
not been unusual. Why, then, should
the slower and surer methods be pur-
sued when fortunes could be made by
the short cut.
Fortunately for the country. the con-
ditions that have resulted in the New
York crisis have been apparent to its
bankers and business men and they
have prepared against the day of reck-
| oning. The conditions throughout the
country are not what they were in 1892
when every community was up TO its
ears in speculation and debt. needing
| only the starting of the foundation to
bring the whole ediface down with a
crash. There may be check to indus
trial aetivity-a tightening of money
I but there will be no repetition of the
former disaster. Fcr-this condition of
affairs we owe nothing to the great
/ leaders in finance and industry, but to
the conservatism of the farmers, the
wage earners, the business men and
bankers removed from the gambling
| frenzy of Wall street and content with
moderate profits and safe Investments.

Prominent Couple Welded.

Edward G. Williams and Carrie Hes
ter Dotson Of this city were united in
marriage at the hone Of DR.. and Mrs.
c. E. Burgson, at kiowa, Kansas. Sum
day, September q. 1907, at 7:3O a. m.
Rev. Frank c. Ward. pastor Of the
Baptist church Of this city, was the off,
ciating minister. The ceremony was wit
messed by only few of the most init
mate friends Of the couple, and few
hours aftes the words were spoken that
consummated the new relation, Mr.. and
Mrs. Williams departed for Alva, Okla
homa, where they visited with friends.
They are expected to return to this city
probably today.
Mr.. Williams came to Medicine Lodge
from Council Grove, Kansas, in the early
spring Of the present year. He owns or
controls practically all Of the Colonial &
y. S. Mtg. Co., land in Barber county
and great portion Of it in Comanche
county and is also interested in other
land in this section Of the State. He has
been engaged in the real estate business
In Kansas for many years in which call
ing he has no superiors. Since his con-
nection with the business in Barber coun-
ty he has brought new land seekers
among us and has been the direct means
Of Strengthening the demand for Barber
county soil and adding to the impetus of
immigration. Personally he is a cordial,
genial and ikeable gentleman and though
his residence among us dates only few
months into the past he already has
wide acquaintanceship among our peo-
pie and enjoys the confidence Of all with
whom he has come in contact.
Mrs. Williams is lady Of charming
personality. She is a daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. II. G. Alexander and has re-
sided here about eight years, having
formerly resided in the city Of Wichita.
Aside from her prominence in social af-
fairs, she is one Of the city's most earnest
and untiring church and club laborers.
Without saying word Of disparagement
Of other Of the city's public spirited ladies
land they are legion, Mrs. Williams has
ever been one Of the first to give her
time to those matters Of public concern,
such as improving the city library, devis-
ing ways and means to create a library
bsa!mg fad. promoting the welfare af
the Monday Afternoon Club. attending
to church duties, and countless other
things that go to build up a city and
make it desirable place to live. Her
refinement, her cheerful, friendly disposi-
ton and literary culture have won her
the lasting esteem Of her innumerable
friends. -
Mr.. Williams and bride will be at home
to their friends in H. A. Tedrow's new
house on fremont avenue October | 9th.

Suit for Divorce.

Emma Cora Brown, by her attorneys,
Seward |. Field and Noble & Tincher
filed suit in the district court yesterday
praying for an absolute decree of divorce
from her husband, James B. Brown
The petition contains some startling allie
cations. Extreme cruelty, non-support,
dessrhon, physical violence and other un-
memorable charges are preferred. 1t is
also alleged that the defendant, James
Brown. conveyed his land to one ]. H.
Downs, and by deception induced the
plaintiff to sign the deed. She asks tha,
the deed be set aside. The further
charge is made that the defendant dis
posed Of all his Barber county property,
taking mostly notes, and left the state
with the intention Of depriving her of her
lawful share Of it. In addition to the
prayer for divorce and aEmony. Mrs.
Brown asks for the care and custody Of
the baby girl FIVE months of age, and for
the restoration Of her maiden name. MIR.
and Mrs. Brown were married May %,
1906. The petition states that their
joint accumulations aggregate $4,000.
Mrs. Brown is a daughter ]. T. and

existence when the cowboy, the joint and
the harlot held complete sway. On tha,
memorable day Judge McCague was
seized by number Of ruGans and car
ried to mud-hole and thrown in. He
sustained no bodily injury but it was moi
especially delightful. The Journal says
the Judge had come to the town to make
prohibition speech and for that reason
was the victim of the mob for to talk
prohibition In that city at that time wa:
an objectionable ofense IN the eyes Of
the fontiersmen who had undisputed
possession Of the entire country. But here
the journal errs. Judge McCague, in
speaking Of the incident, stated, when
his attention was called to the article,
that he did not go to kowa to talk pro-
hibition; he knew better than to espouse
the cause in that day in such surround
ings. but since the matter has been re-
hashed, he volunteered to say that he
had gone to kiowa in his capacity as a
lawyer, to proceed against creditor ol
one Of his clients. He compelled the cred
itor to come across and that Stirred his
wrath which in turn led to the orsaniza-
ton Of the mob. After the bath, Judge
McCague went to his room in the hoteI
where he was met by the good citizens
Of the town who by this time had heard
ct the outrage and expressed emphatic
condemnation Of the mob, and later mos
Of the participants apologized and the
matter was dropped. This correction j:
made in justice to MIR. McCague who
desires that the true facts be known.

The Revival.

Several notable services were held IN
connection with the revival meetings the
past week. The all day service which
was held last Friday was out Of the or
dmary in interest and effect. The as
sistance which the business men and the
school gave was most gratifying to the
promoters Of the revival. The attend
ance at the morning service from ten to
twelve was perhaps the largest day meet
ing between Sundays that has been held
in Medicine Lodge for some years.
Then there was a mems meeting on
Sunday afternoon which attracted large
number Of men; Mr.. Runyan delivered
an address on Purpose and Destiny" Ii
was clear, sane and direct message to
men and the men who heard that ad-
dress will long retain its impression.
The meeting Sunday night was grea,
one. Every seat IN the tabernacle was
occupied and many stood on the outside
to listen to the sermon wh, c, had a mos
serious effect upon the audience.
A large number have signi6ed thei
intention Of living christian life. The
meetings will continue through this week
and probably come to a close next Sun
day night.
This meeting is proving that the church
es can work together to secure a com
mon end.
