SWAIN OF Sc LACKS HANDS.
He Takes His Bride to His Woode,
Arms

PROVIDENCE, r. l., January 1S-Ac-
companed by his betrothed, who buried her
husband last Thursday, George Francis
Johnson, who has no hands, went to the
Office of the city registrar yesterday after
noon and procured marriage license.
Johnson is sixty-six years old and for
the past twenty years has been a street
peddler. When he went to the city hall
lie was equipped with portable counter
which he carries by means of straps sus-
pended from his shoulders.
When asked to sign his name he poked
out his left arm, which was a wooden
peg with knife and fork attached. Selling
the pen, he deXterously inserted it between
the prongs of the fork and wrote his name
in a egible hand.
He said his native town was Augusta
Me. The woman gave her age as forty
two
Have you ever been married before? %
asked the clerk.
Yes she replied, and burst into tears
looking appealingly at Johnson. The latter
placed one of his wooden arms tenderly
about her and sought to comfort her.
II buried my husband last Thursday, a
week ago today she said when her grief
had subsidized.
They were granted the license and went
to clergyman, by whom they were mar
ried.
The woman's first husband and her pres
ent one were close friends.

wealthy and prominent, Mr. Futch having
left more than $oOOG9o at his death tAree
years ago. The apparent absence of mo-
tive makes the case most mysterious. The
family is not known to have an enemy.
The general opinion now is that a white
man is responsible, possibly a rejected
sutton for Mrs. Futchs hand.
An armed guard has been employed and
patrols the yard, but despite the guards
the murderous attempts continue.

PRESSURE INCREASE
MORE POWER FOR WATER SERV.
ICE IN THE DISTRICT.
Comparative Statement Compiled for
the Commissioners-Some of
the Changes.

A comparative statement has been COM
showing the increase in the water service
pressure in the District from 1897 to 1907.
and, according to Col Biddle, Engineer
Commissioner, the pressure has reached
almost a standard. At any rate he says, 1t
Will not be necessary in the future to in
crease the pressure except in a few indiyid-
ual cases during the next ten years The
statement was prepared for the Commits
sioners' own information and for presenta-
ton TO Congress at an opportune time when
1t Is deslrous, to show just what the water
service pressure is in the District
While this high standard was being
reached the pressure has been, on an av-
erage, almost doubled This has been
brought about by persistent and continual
changing and putting in of new and add-
tloal water mains of more modern type and
OIL certain larger pumping facilities.
Average Pressure of the Service.
The average pressure of the service in
1897 was 25.1 pounds per square inch. This
figure signifies that the pressure of water
was only sufficient to throw a stream q
feet in the air. The pressure, Col Biddle
says, would have been all right if the
houses and buildings in the District were
not very high, but such a stream would be
practically OF little use at the present time
IN the event of fire in big office build
Ing, or large house, or other tall bu!luing
On January l last the average pressure in
the city was 453 pounds, an increase of
DID feet almost twice as much as ten
years ago Such increase in the pressure
from 1897 to the present time represents an
increase of 962 per cent. and with the III. 8
pounds of pressure a stream 80 feet high
Is possible.
One of the largest individual increases,
according to the statement furnished the
Commissioners, is at 9th and streets
Ten years ago the pressure there was only
sufficient to throw a stream of water % feet
high. Now the pressure is strong enough
to reach almost 100 feet, which is an in
crease of 33 pounds, or 2.'9 per cent. There
is 2}2 per cent increase in the Pre- sure
at 10Th and L streets.
Ten Years Ago.
Ten years ago the pressure was only %
feet, and now it is % feet an increase Of
32.5 pounds. The pressure at 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue southeast has un-
dergone a great Improvement. In 1897 the
pressure was only 30 feet, now 1t is 10
feet, which is an increase of 263 per cent
The service at East Capitol street hs peen
increased from % feet to % feet, and the
pressure at Sd and E streets southeast
from rs feet to 112 feet. and at I'd street
and Maryland avenue northeast from IS
feet to 100 feet.
The only decrease in the pressure is at
33d and Water streets. Georgetown. In
1897 the pressure at this point was
pounds, or % feet. 1t is now 81 feet, de-
crease of feet. There was only a very
small increase at 18th street and Columbia
road northwest. In 1897 it was 76 feet
pressure, and now it is 81 feet. There was
only 5 per cent increase at 22d and o
streets.

WILL MOVE TO BARBER COUNTY.

John T. Samuel of Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, was here last week
and closed a deal with Miss Mary
Best purchasing the 28o-acre tract
of land southeast of this city now
occupied by John Reeves. Mr..
Samuel came here by reason of his
meeting with w. L. Coryell who is
now at Excelsior Springs taking
treatment for rheumatism. He
came to look at Mr.. Coryell's land
but in his rounds found the Miss
Best land which suited him bet
ter. He expects to move here next
August and in the meantime will
contract for the building of good
house and other substantial i'm.
provements. Next fall or the fol.
lowing spring he will seed a good
portion of the farm to alfalfa. The
price paid for the land was Sal
per acre. We extend a hearty well
come to this prospective citizen.
He looks all right, talks all right
and we believe he is all right, and
being from Missouri, it is now up
to our people to 'show him" that
Barber county, Kansas, is all right.
Mr.. Samuel is one of Excelsior
Springs aldermen and a half broth
er of the once notorious Frank and
Jesse James, but he doesn't look
like a shooter. He's one of those
whole -souled, kindhearted, keen
business men that it's pleasure to
meet.

TIE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

1t is the intention of the B oard
of Education of this city to re-or-
ganize the Medicine Lodge High
School, in June, in conformity with
the Barnes High School Act which
was adopted in this county last
November.
AS has been set forth in former
issues of this paper, the tuition in
such high school will be free to
resident pupils of Barber county
who are qualified to do high school
work. Graduates of the common
school course and holders of third
grade certificates will be admitted
to the high school without further
examinations. Other pupils may
be admitted upon examination in
the common branches.
The common school examination
will be held this year in certain
districts, designated by the county
superintendent, in the latter part of
this month and the first part of
April. All pupils who contemplate
entering the county high school
next September should, if possible,
take these examinations. Or, pu-
pills may come to Medicine Lodge
the third week in May and take the
examination with the eighth grade
in our city schools.
In order that the benefits of the
new County High School may be
extended to all parts of the county
it is hoped that the boards of edu-
cation in the country districts will
urge their teachers to make special
efforts to prepare such pupils as
may wish to attend the county high
school, to pass the coming exami-
nations.
The hearty cooperation of the
county teachers, boards of educa-
ton and all lovers of higher edu-
cation is most earnestly desired.

PRESTON C. PATTON DEAD.

Preston c. Patton died at his
home in this city at 4 o'clock Sum-
day morning, March 10, 1907, after
suffering with paralysis three
months. When he was first strick.
en- very little hopes for his recov-
cry were entertained but in the
course of week he improved be-
yond expectations and continued
to get better until about two weeks
ago when he was attacked with
the grip which, added to his para
lytic trouble, was directly respon-
sible for his death. Yet is was not
expected. A week before his death
he was able to be up town and
walk about. On Saturday evening
he had a stroke, but seemed to raj
ly and held his own until about 2
o'clock Sunday morning, when he
began to sink and it was plain to
the attending physician, DR.. Cole
man, that the end was near.
The funeral was held at the NJ.
E. church Monday, at ; o'clock,
conducted by Rev. w. H. Moore.
A large congregation of sympa-
thizlng friends attended the service
to pay tribute to a respected and
beloved friend and neighbor.
Mr.. Patton was 81 years, II
months and 10 days of age. He
is survived by a wife, who was
formerly Miss Carrie Gibson, and
two little girls. aged 3 years and 4
months respectively. Besides the
immediate family he Z is survived
by his parents, a brother and seven
sisters, all residing in Woods coun-
ty Ok, excepting one sister in Cal.
ifornia. All were in attendance at
the funeral except two sisters. He
was member Of the Methodist
Episcopal church and lived his pro-
fession in his daily life. Words
could not pay a greater compli-
ment. We have known the de.
ceased since his early boyhood and
always found him generous, COM
panionable and of irreproachable
character. His friends are panied
at his death but are consoled that
his brief time On earth has beer
we'll spent.
To those who mourn the sympa.
thy OF their numerous friends i:
rendered, in the realization thai
the community as we'll as the fam
lily has sustained a loss.
Mr.. Patton carried $4,000 insur.
ance in the New York Life.

TIE LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN.

The legislature will probably ad-
journ today and outside of the vast
sums of money expended, there is
nothing to indicate that there was
a session, so far as results are con-
cerned. The appropriations exceed
those of two years ago by over a
million. Among the gratis were
the allowance of ex-State Treasur-
er kelly's costs in his last law suit
with the state, and the amount paid
for his surety bond, and ex- Govern
or Bailey's old grocery bill, all of
which amounted to more than
$4,000: Many other similar gratis
were put through.
Not a single reform promised in
last falls campaign has been enact.
ed. The only makeshift bills that
got through were the anti-pass and
freight bills.
These are such miserable com
promise measures that they are
practically worthless. The anti
pass law contains so many excep.
tions that it can scarcely be identi-
fed and even at that, will not take
effect until 1908. The freight rate
law makes the mere reduction of
IS per cent on grain and grain pro-
ducts alone. The house bill pro.
vided for reduction of IS per cent
on grain, cattle, hogs, coal-in fact
all products bought and sold by the
public, but the senate cut out every
thing but grain and even on that
went three per cent lower than the
house. The house finally adopted
the senate bill, feeling thatit was
that or nothing. The primary bill
fell by the wayside. The house
passed bill providing for direct
primary elections, state, county and
township. The senate cut out the
clause providing for direct nomina-
tions above congressman, which
would really have been no direct
primary at all, and the house re-
fused to accept it.
The 2-cent fare law also "went
glimmering' and there is nothing
new on the statutes except the us
ual list of local laws. The meas
ures that the people needed werede-
feated by the paid lobby of corpo-
rations.
If the people of Kansas endorse
this action two years hence, they
are more densely ignorant than
dumb animals, for even the, brutes
of the field have some idea of their
individual rights.
