Civil Marriages Recognized.
Pope Plus Y. has modified the mar.
riage laws Of the Catholic church so
as TO recognize the validity of n civil
marriage made before two witnesses
without the assistance of a priest.
This decree will go into effect at
Easter, 1908. 1t is return to the
conditions which prevailed before the
council of Trent. In Italy the church
has suffered because of the refusal to
acquiesce in civil marriage, which was
the only marriage authorized under
the laws of united Italy. The result
was to make 1t possible for n man to
have two wives, one under the state
and the other under the church law,
thus virtually encouraging bigamy.

WILL VOTE THE BONDS.
Mission Center Now Anxious to Have
New Railroad.

w. L. Taylor, president of the To-
peka- railway, v. r. Park
hurst, chief engineer, and Peter He'll
went to Mission Center last evening to
attend railroad meeting. Mr.. Taylor
reports that on account of the bad
roads there was not very large at
tendance, but those present were very
enthusiastic and after explaining to
them what the railroad wanted in the
way of bonds, etc, every taxpayer pres
ent signed the petition asking the
county commissioners to call special
election in that township.
1t will be remembered that two years
ago Mission township was the only
township that defeated theb onds. Sc
cret meetings were held and some of
the most influential taxpayers and resi-
dents of the township fought the pro-
position and defeated 1t at the polls
but there is different feeling out
there now. Those who were opposed to
1t before were very enthusiastic at the
meeting last night. Every other town
ship and municipality between Council
Grove and Topeka have sufficient sign
ers upon their petitions to assure that
the bonds will carry Mr.. Taylor de-
the last but from the way it looks now
there will be no trouble in getting suf-
ficient signers and also affirmative
votes to carry the proposition in every
township between Topeka and Council
Grove.
In discussing the voting of bonds in
Topeka Mr.. Taylor says that he be-
lieves that 80 per cent of the votes on
the bonds will vote in favor of them.
THE proposition is surely a fair one
says Mr.. Taylor. THE city does not
have to put up these bonds until the
line IS built and in operation across the
county and in addition to that the rail-
road company must spend the amount
of the bonds within the city limits be-
fore the bonds are delivered, so it can
be seen that the taxes on the railroad
property will be payable to the city
as soon as the interest is payable on
the bonds. The interest on these bonds
will cost the city of Topeka $500 per
year. The taxes that the railroad COM
pany will pay into the city treasury
will be probably three times that
amount, so in addition to getting these
railroad terminals which probably
mean two or three more railroads,
Topeka is making a profitable invest
ment.''

House set newspaper reporters to
speculating. They we're Commission
ers Harland and Prouty of the inter-
state commerce commission who are
about to start for Chicago to hear
additional testimony in the case of the
city of Spokane against various west
ern railroads, the complaint in which
involves an alleged violation of an i'm
.portant provision of the amended in
terstate commerce act. Considerable
testimony already has been taken in
the case in Spokane and other coast
cities.
No information was obtainable at
the executive offices as to the reason
for the call. The commissioners them
selves said their visit was for the pur-
pose of saying goodbye to the presi-
dent. Recently Commissioner Har-
land advanced the opinion that the in
terstate commerce commission has
power to deal with state laws which
result in interference with interstate
traffic. Today he said as he was leav-
ing the White House that he had
nothing to add to this opinion.

KANSAS MISSOURI SUIT.
Ask Supreme Court TO Settle Title to
Goose Island.

The "Goose Islandt case. between
the state of Missouri and the state OF
Kansas. is now in the supreme court
of the United States. This is friend
ly lawsuit brought by Attorney Cen
eral HadIey of Missouri after con-
sultation with ex-Attorney General e
c. Coleman. The object of the case
is to decide whether the state of KAN
sas or the state of Missouri should
drive the crooks, criminals and dives
out of Goose Island.
Forty years ago, Goose Island was
born in the Missouri river few. miles
above the mouth of the Kansas river,
and only a short distance from Kansas
City. At that time 1T was merely
sandbar. 1t has grown and waXed fat
in the course of years, and now 1t is a
vast tract of land surrounded by
water, and worth as real estate many
thousands of dollars. 1t is apparently
fixture in the Missouri river at that
point.
Because there was doubt about the
location of the Kansas Missouri state
line, there has been dispute ABOUT
Jurisdiction over the island. and it has
come to be a resort of all kinds or
criminals. Saloons and gambling
places opened there, and ran under
license from Missouri and through
tribute paid to Kansas officials. it is
claimed. Prize fights were pulled or
there without mo1estatIon- II was
sort of Missouri river Monte Carlo.
Finally the attorney generals of the
two states decided that they had bet
ter find out whose business it should
be to boss the island, and Missouri
brought quit to obtain ruling OF the
court as to its title to the land.
Kansas contends that the state
boundary lies in the center of the
main channel of the river. and that
while the island is further from the
| Kansas than from the Missouri shore,
the real channel of the river IS be
tween the island and Missouri. On
that basis. Kansas expects to gain a
favorable ruling, and to take jurisdic-
ton of the island
Under the law enacted at the recent
the sale of state islands under the

court decides that the island belongs

people to move onto the island. and
purchase it as school land at very

Among the more serious charges pre-

that rebating was practiced with the
railroads, a gambling house and saloon
was maintained in one of the cars and
the employees and performers were lured
to spend their earnings in the dive on
wheels.
Mr.. Sells has gone so far as to retain
counsel with a view to bringing suit to
recover what he claims as his share of
the enterprise which still bears his
name. but from which he has been
forced out.

Nicaraguan government today issued a
decree recognizing the provisional gov

members to be allies of Nicaragua. The

Puerto Cortes, Honduras, March Is
The first actual difficulty between Hon

Manos, a little village, the main street
of which marks the frontier line be-
tween Honduras and Nicaragua. The
Nicaraguans who were encamped on
their side Of the village crossed the line
one night and stole a Hondurean mule
and retired with their capture without
firing a shot. This incident was fol-
lowed by diplomatic correspondence in
which the Nicaraguans were stigmatiz-
ed as cattle lifters." This was resent
ed with counter charges and shortly
after there was a town meeting at
Amapah, Honduras. in which President
Zelaya of NicarS qua, was accused of
violating his promises and fomenting
strife. Nicaragua then demanded that
Honduras punish the municipality of
Amapah but this Honduras refused on
