ii with the parents. If the girl is attractive
and the family is congenial the parents of the
young man make overtures to the girls parents.
They are soon on friendly footing and the ques-
fion OF marriage is readily settled. The settlement
to what the girls dot shall be is important
point at issue.
The Chinese, along with the Turks, believe that
a girl is far better off dead than unmarried Though
they exceedingly anxious to have their daugh-
tiers married they believe 1t is beneath their dig
nifty to carry on these negotiations themselves but
leave this work to n professional matchmaker The
gobetween visits the different homes alone. where
she takes note of the age, education, social posi-
tion and wealth OF the different girls She then
gives long and accurate account of the girls fam
lily. One Is selected from this number. and II both
parties satisfied the affair is handed
the necromancer. If the stars say the young peo-
pie selected wisely the betrothal is announced.
But the matchmaker has still part to play.
Shortly before the marriage she brings the young
girl the gifts the groom would send her. These
usually include leg of pork, bag of money, two
bottles of wine and two candles. But the girl is
expected to return part of these offerings. The
Chinese parents do not believe II is necessary for
young persons to love each other SO long the
augur is satisfied The young man rarely sees the
girl until after they are married. When the bride
arrives at the home of the bridegroom he is there
to meet her but when she steps out she is
yelled that her features are hidden. He leads her
into the room where the ceremony will take place.
Then he seats himself high chair to show
his superiority and she prostrates herself before
him until he lifts the veil and for the first
time his future wifes face.
The Russians another people who believe
that marriage is the only natural and rational des-
tiny for woman. Confident that Cupid is a fool
ish and cratic boy whose Judgment is always
the wisest, they make use of matchmaker, called
n svacha. She is most important parsonage, and
when her judgment. which is excellent, fails her
she can call the stars, diamonds hearts and clubs
to her aid.
But the marriage ceremonies even more COM
plicated. On the day before the wedding the bride
is conducted to her bath. There her friends spend
long hours combing her hair and while away the
time singing and talking of what her daily life will
be after she is married The ceremony is performed
with the rites of the eastern church and takes
place eight days before the marriage. The service
is divided into three parts The first is where the
gold rings exchanged Then the bride and
bridegroom crowned with crowns of silver fill.

Oil Stove Exploded

A scene out of the ordinary, III
which two young ladies We're the

Friday at the Holly hotel
1t seems that hitherto reliable

exploded, throwing Miss Nina

We Employ Five People

Agreeable to the principles laid
down by the present editor of The
Cheftain last January, we employ
just as many people from home as

newspaper for Holly.
The Chieftain's S modern printing
plant is the subject of comment
from every visitor coming to the
town, as the average plant for a
town Holly's size throughout Col
orado and Kansas is far behind
that of this Office, but we cannot

MAKING EXCELLENT HEADWAY
EAEsA

Gratifying headway is being
made by the projectors of the Kan
sas-Colorado Railroad and Power
company. The Pueblo city coun-
Gil recently gave them u right-of-
way through that city by unani-
nous vote and the favorable action
taken by Kearny county, Kansas,
in voting bonds goes to show that
the sentiment is the same at both
ends of the line.
The completion of this road and
the power pumping project will be
of inestimable value to the valley
andwilf help to increase the wealth
and population of this portion of
the state as nothing else would.
Instead of pooh.poohing the en-
terprise, as some have don! Mr..
Hulit and his, associates are de-
serving of all credit possible in
putting through scheme of such
gigantic scope as this will be.
The railroad will prove of great
value as carrier of freight and
passengers at rate no doubt lower
than at present charged and We
all know that competition means
more business. By means of the
power plants to be installed at va.
rious points along the line. cheap
water will be available for irriga-
ton purposes, which means more
land to be brought under cultiva-
ton, the farmer will be enabled to
raise greater abundance of crops.
thus adding to his income, and a.
great impetus will be given toward
populating the valley.
We might say that no great pub
lie works have ever been under
taken, either by the government
or by private enterprise but what
aroused comment or criticism. and
probably it will always be SO, but
certainly no project has ever been
launched concerning the improve
ment ard bettermento of the Arkan-
sas valley that is more deserving
OF public support than the Kan
sas-Colorado railroad and Power
company.

Washington, D. c., Oct 6.-S. A
D. Puter made two unsuccessful at
tempts to see Secretary Garfield yes
terday with reference to prosecution
of alleged fraudulent timber land
cases in Linn and Lane counties, Ore
gOn. Puter came to Washington to
impress upon the Government au-
thorities the Importance of winning
these cases, for he asserts that on
the Is sections of land involved is
timber worth $1,500,0O0. Title to
this land, according to Puter, was il
legally obtained by C. M. Smith, OF
Minneapolis. Puter wants the Gov
eminent to engage Francis ]. Heney
to take charge of the Government S
case, believing that he alone can have
Smiths titles set aside.
Discussing his mission to Wash
ington, Puter said:
Smith. who is worth about $751;
100000, is resisting suits filed a
short time ago and has employed
some of the ablest attorneys on the
Coast. l think it would be better
to delay trial than to go into court
only half prepared. If it is impos-
sible to secure Heney's services, it
would be advisable to secure other

REVENGE CUTTER TAHOMA
TO BE LAUNCHED SATURDAY

Washington, Oct. 5.-The revenue
cutter 'rahoma, named in honor OF
the City of Tacoma, will be launched
at the yard of the New York Ship
Building Company, Camden, N. j.,
Saturday, October 10. Miss Grace
Clark Kahler. of Tacoma, will act
as sponsor of the vessel. The event
will be especially notable as it will
form a part of the Founders week
celebration at Philadelphia. The
Tahoma takes the Indian name in
stead of the present spelling of the
City of Destiny. because naval
cruiser has already been named in
honor of Tacoma and it was neces-
sary to avoid a confusion of names.
The Tahoma will be one of the
crack vessels of the revenue cutter
service, especially for long distance
cruising, as she has coal capacity
of 225 tons and a fresh water ca
pacity of SIS tons.

FLEET IN HEAVY GALE
Hurricane Sweeps Over Manila Bay
and Much Damage Done Ashore.

Manila, Oct. 5.-The Atlantic bat
tleship fleet outrode hurricane
which swept Manila Bay for IL hours
and did much damage ashore.
Typhoon signals were displayed
early Sunday morning. but the storm
broke over the bay suddenly and un-
expectedly at noon. At 8 o'clock at
night the storm had reached its
height, and it then gradually tapered
down until at midnight it was COM
paratively calm, although heavy seas
swung across the harbor. During the
storm the battleships had steam up
ready for an emergency. The vessels
steamed down close to Cavite, where
they anchored. At times the wind
blew at the rate of 100 miles an
hour. and all communication ashore
was cut of.
On shore it was dangerous to go
about. Several carriages were over
turned by the wind. trees were blown
down, electric wires were Frustrated
and several buildings were unroofed.
Among these was the depot commits
sary.
