REPLIES TO EUGENE F. WARE.
John Stowell of Seneca Writes of
Ironquill VS.. Old IrOnsides.

Iron has entered into the soul and
the "Ironquill' seams to have pierced
the heart of the Poet Laureate of Kan
sas; for he has roasted Brown to
turn, in his new book and so strong
is the language and coming from so
famous a man as Ware. it must of
necessity caused Old Ironsides and his
admirers to halt in the perpetual
march. .
All. Missouri, Missouri why didst
thou contaminate our beloved Iron
quill with the doubling Thomas
malady, typical of your people, who
must be shown" Is it because the
Missouri is the longest river, that it
should become the modern Styx and
has Eugene crossed it to get into
hades as of yOre?
OF course John Brown was lawless
and an egotistic and for argument
sake admit ambitious: how was it pos
sible for human being to go through
what he did without all these in
delibly imprinted upon his very be-
ing? Did he live by lying or cheating,
did he oppose what was enobling :?
And even when he undertook the fool
hardy task of taking Harper's Ferry
1t was not for plumber, but in the in
terest of humanity. Because the old
fellow was a common bull whacker
and pioneer, is that any reason why
he and those who assisted him should
be called unkind names. Did the rich
come to Kansas for the purpose of
dedicating their lives to hardship and
toll, so as to establish the custom of
free homes? Those who know the
early settlers are fully aware of the
fact that most of them were mo
bodies" but when it comes to doing
things that was their forte and their
poetry was of the soul and their
rhymes were Gee Buck and "Haw
Bill' with interpretations that must not
be repeated, but which assisted in i'm
pelling the teams that turned over the
virgin soil. which made it possible for
Kansas to have an IronQuill
The redeemer of men and the
gullible dozen fishermen who banded
themselves together in His cause,
were nobodies, lawless, and ambitious
to promulgate the great principles of
life and because He was not the pro-
geny of some great potentate and lived
in a palace how the dominant race,
(Jews) condemned him and executed
him.
Ye gods. please hover over our dear
Ironquill and direct his astute and YER
satile brain from becoming contami-
mated by the miasma of the Styx

ONE YEAR ENOUGH FOR HER.
Divorce Suit Filed by Mrs. Matte
Morrow, farmers Wife.

A divorce suit was filed with the clerk
of the district court this morning by
Matte Morrow, who wishes to be for
ever separated from Sill Morrow, whom
she married November %, 1906. Here
are some of her allegations, boiled
down:
First: Defendant frequently wound
ed the feelings of plaintiff in a grievous
manner by the use of profanity.
Second: That he is an habitual
drunkard and spends all his earnings
in coming to town and getting on a
tear or a jag The vital difference in
these terms is not set forth. In con-
nection with these features she cites
that on one occasion he came to town
with her on Sunday to attend church,
and got bowling drunk before the re-
turn trip.
Third: He was guilty of gross
neglect of duty and he failed to provide
anything toward the support of the
plaintiff, who, with her 16-year-old son
by former marriage. supported them
selves.
The victim of these unfortunate
martial relations resides on a fagm 10
miles southwest of the city of Topeka.

$4,000 a Year for Teeth

The Berlin branch of the German
Imperial Insurance company has set
aside $4,000 year to provide Dem
tai Institute for working men holding
their policies. The Institute will pro-
vide artificial teeth for all working
men needing them. 1t has been found
by the company. talkin statistics, that
men who have good natural teeth or
first class substitutes have better
health and live longer than those who
are unable to mastieate their food
properly.
Therefore the Insurance company
figures that it can give $4,000 a year
towar dthe care of it's policy holders
teeth and still save much money to
the company in the course of few
years. If a financial institution con-
siders it a good investment to spend
this amount of money upon the teeth
of people from whom it derives it's
profits would it not be wise for you to
take a personal interest in your own
teeth?

Miss Minnie Sullivan sings Illustrated songs. Popular prices.
