compromise
W. Y. Morgan said: Il believe we
ought to have a conference committee
which will represent the sentiment of
this house and if possible carry out
the ideas of the gentleman from Wyan-

Mr.. Stubbs said: 1T seems to me we
not only got a primary DILL from the
senate but we got baby with it in the
shape Of an antipass law
s. H Brandon: The senate has en-
bodied in the primary law a sort of
Policy antipass law. 1t is absurd. We
should never consent to anything of
that sort. We don't want that kind of
an abortion when 10 per cent of the
counties of this state have declared for

is not the time to get into a bitter

itself. Florida and Sumatra are un-

ORATOR OF THE DAY.

Chicago. Feb. 22.-The anniversary OF
the birth of George Washington was
generally observed here today The
majority of the downtown business
houses were closed during the greater
part of the day. and the board Of trade

club house at which Mr.. Cleveland.
President Finley and Richard Watson
Glider will be the chief speakers
Mr.. Cleveland addressed an audience
which filed the great auditorium and
his grafton was greeted with every
manifestation of approval. He dwelt
less upon the history and achievements
of washington than upon the soundness
of his political faith. and the accuracy
of his economic wisdom. The prospect
ty and glory of the country will be. ac-
cording to the speaker, unbounded and
imperisha bic if the precepts of Wash
ington are actively recalled and in gen
eral closely followed.
Americans as a rule, Mr. Cleveland
declared. are too prone to lose sight of
the significance of the proper observ-
ance of holidays The Fourth of July,
he asserted has ''degenerated to n

soNDEGARD CASE Is ON.
Suit Against DIR. F. III. Martin for
Alternating Affections of Wife.

The second trial of the case of Peter
Sondegard of Manhattan against Dr.
F. H. Martin, formerly of this city
but now of lola, is being heard by
Judge Dana of the district court 1t
has been just a year since the case
was first heard ard at this time the
Jury returned a verdict of $1,000 for
the plaintiff though a new trial of the
case was granted on account of the
discovery of error in the trial.
Mr.. Sondegard was formerly an en-
pIove of the Union Pacific railroad but
lost an arm in an accident at Salina
about twelve years ago ana SINCE ina Ei
time has been in the insurance bust
ness and on the road most of the time
Affairs in the Sondegard family had
not moved smoothly for some time
and Mrs Sondegard came to Topeka
and took a position as nurse in one of
the HOSPITALS and it was here that she
met DR. Martin Gossip soon con-
nected the names of the doctor with
that of the nurse and family troubles
arose in each of the families and Mrs
Sondegard left the hospital and be-
came a private nurse in the employ of
DR.. Martin.
At this time DR.. Martins first wife
was alive but in poor health and died
within a short time. but the trouble
he had caused his wife was of such
nature as to turn his daughter against
him and she has been one of the most
active in the prosecution of her father
AT the request ana on the showing
made by the daughter of DR.. Martin.
now Mrs Vera sykes. Mr.. Sondegard
filed a suit for divorce against his wife
which was afterwards granted. Then
followed the suit for $15,0 900 against
DR. Martin for alternating the affec-
tions of Mrs. Sondegard and the sub
seQuent verdict of $1,000.
After six months elapsed from the
time of the divorce was obtained By
Sondegard which is the time required
by law DR.. Martin and the former
nurse who was divorced from Peter
Sondegard were married and they
moved to lola where they nave since
resided. At the first trial of the case
there was more than ordinary interest
manifested and the court room was
crowded throughout the trial.
But few of the witnesses who testi-
fed at the former trial of the case are
present and their testimony taken at
the former trial by the court stenog-
rapher, Charles Bower. is read from
the records OF the court Mr.. Sonde-
gard was on the stand a portion of
the morning and told the story of his
domestic troubles and the finding Of
letters containing terms of enfearment
written by DR.. Martin to his wife.
Then came stories directly from the
Martin household carried by DR.. Mar
tins daughter who took the side of
her mother and against her father and
Mrs. Sondegard.
