White Man MarrieS NegresS

William F. Petrie and Grace C. Lew.
Is were married in Pratt. Kansas, Janu.
ary 18th. The bride is a colored lady
a daughter Of Charley Lewis and wife
who removed from here to Oklahoma a
month or longer ago.
The Pratt Union, in speaking Of thi.
marriage, makes this sharp comment:
Ashamed Of Kansas" yes, we cer-
talnly have just cause to be ashamed
OF Kansas, state that stands at the head
OF the list in education, christianity, push
enterprise. agriculture, stock raising, tenn
perance, etc, and then permits a negro
and white to marry. We all should
be ashamed Of Kansas until she can rise
to an elevation that will lift her above
the color mixing in marriage.
Petrie applied to Probate Judge Car.
rison Of this county for marriage license
but was promptly turned down. He
claimed to be quarter-blood and Judge
Garrison told him to produce an afida.
WIT from his parents. This he agreed tc
do but that was the last heard from him
The colored people here do not sane.
hon this marriage. Some Of them went
to Judge Garrison. when they heard oI
Petries intentions. and protested against
the issuance Of license.
No respectable community, whether oI
white or colored people, should allow
this couple to live among its citizens. A
law making such marriages impossible
is badly needed.

Former Medicine Lodge Woman Dead

Nancy Chenoweth died at the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. A. H. Mulkey, at
Brownville, Oregon, January 2l. 1908.
She was 50 years, 3 months and lS
days Of age.
Mrs. Chenoweth left Medicine Lodge
in October 1904, soon after the death
Of her husband, the late J. L. Cheno-
weth.
The deceased was born in Indiana
and was married to J. L. Chenoweth in
Ohio January |. 1852. They removed
to Iowa in 1855. coming to Barber coun-
ty in 1873.
Three children, a son and two daush-
tiers, were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Cheno-
weth. The son is dead, leaving on two
daughters to mourn their mothers de-
parture-Mrs. A. H. Mulkey of Ore
gon and Mrs. w. S. Watkins of Sharon
township, this county.
The immediate cause Of Mrs. Cheno-
weth's death was paralysis. She was
stricken four days before her death and
was speechless during her brief sickness
but not unconscious until twelve hours
before her death.
Mrs. Chenoweth was devoted, faith
full member Of the Christian church from
gnlhood. Her Medicine Lodge and
Barber county friends will ever sacredly
remember her for her many motherly
kindnesses, her sweet disposition and her
numberless virtues.

After all, it is queer how people will
go wild" about nothing. We remem-
Der several years ago when there were
some twenty cases in town, business went
on in the same old way. The famiEe.
afflicted were promptly quarantined, but
school went on and business was moi
suspended. People looked at it in a
sensible way. there were no sensational
alarms and no stampedes. But this time
it was different. In the country there
are all kinds Of absurd stories and people
are actually afraid to come to town.
Even some people in the city helped to
spread these foolish reports and actually
believe that their lives are endangered
The scare" started in earnest when
school was closed. The closing was
accomplished by talk, talk, talk, without
a reason for the talk. Had White had
been IN the basement OF the school
house, with his parents, the day before
he took the smallpox, and to this cause
the closing was due. The school house
was thoroughly fumigated on Sunday
before the opening Of school on Monday
but even this extraordinary safeguard
did not allay the closing sentiment and
school closed.
This is the first time in the history ol
Medicine Lodge that people who should
know better, acted so child-Eke. 1t ha:
cost our business men dearly, but let u.
hope that it will teach the extremists a
lesson.

Peckham Dug Up"

Ed. L. Peckham recently settled the
$4,000 SANDER suit brought against him
by ms former stenographer. Miss Sarah
Vance. now Mrs. VIM. ]. Bigger Of
Kansas City. The basis Of settlement Is
not known but letter from Mrs. Bigger
to Barber county friend states that the
plaintiff named the terms and that Mr.
Peckham accepted them without apv
parleying.
lhe suit was based on letter alleged
be slanderous written by Mr.. Peck
ham to MIR. Bigger. the plaintiffs hus-
band, and evidently Mr.. Peckham con-
cluded that he had over-reached himself
and could not substariate all that was
contained In that rather hish-priced
epistle.
The plaintiff made a great manv
friends while she was in Medicine Lodge.
who are delighted to learn of her Mndi-
cation and that her good name and
character are spotless.

A Makeshift Amendment.

The tax law was amended slightly but
not sufficiently to cover the case Of this
city. An amendment was enacted pro-
vidins that the levy Of 1908 shall not be
IN excess Of an amount that will raise over
two per cent more taxes than were raised
in 1907. This was right and proper
had the legislature stopped there, but it
didn't stop. Another proviso was tackled
on. making the ACT not applicable in cases
wherein bonded or other Indebtedness
has become due. And that is lust
where this city was expecting relief.
Our bonded Indebtedness will mature in
one and two years and the people do
not feel able to pay it all at one time.
The legislature was asked to limit the
levy under the new system of valuation,
but the members in their great wisdom
decided to hx-it Otherwise.
However, there will Be another ses-
sion Of the legislature before judgment
time and probably another appeal will
be made.

The "Scare" is Subsiding.

lhe smallpox excitement which had
some OF the nervous people on the run
last week has about passed away and if
there are no new cases during the next
SIX or seven days school will resume on
Wednesday. February 18th, the lid will
be taken off churches and public gather
ings and things will again be running in
the regular channel.
The total number who have contracted
the disease. or are under suspicion, is
nine, including Joe Kuder who brought
1t here. They are: Joe Kuder, Had
White, Carl Rankin, Port Unger, Sher-
man Myers, Louis Springer. J. C. Camp,
OF this city. and Chas. DIETRICH and
Ernest Kennedy Of Sharon. Three Of
these cases were not positively known to
have been smallpox when quarantined.
Camp and DIETRICH were taken to the
county farm and provided with tents
pending developments, but they went into
the pest house Of their own voIition and
the presumption is that they will now
contract the disease. Little Sherman
Myers has been troubled with some sort
OF skin disease for some time and it is
possible that the present trouble is not
smallpox but the family is under quaran-
tine regulation.
All Of the cases are people who have
been directly exposed to Kuder, and
when it is considered that he came in
contact with more than one hundred
people the wonder is that the cases are
so few. The only possible danger now
rs that some cases may develop in people
who were exposed to those who took
sick last week. but as no person except
members Of the families, was exposed to
any OF the patients. it is highly improba-
BILE that there will be any new cases.
The time is now past when any more
persons will come down as a result Of
mingling with Kuder, so that there is no
further cause for alarm on that score.
So far as our knowledge goes, the quar-
antne regulations on the present cases
are strict, although they were said to be
little lax on Monday and Tuesday Of
last week.

Legislative Troubles

The wise ones are still quarreIing ir
the city of Topeka at the expense of the
taxpayers Of the state of. Kansas. The
legislature was to have Adjourned on Sat.
urday but the governor and some mem.
bers of the Legislature got to fighting owe,
bank Legislation and the end is not vet
he principal purpose for which tie
special session was convened was the en-
actment of depositors guarantee law.
ms the senate refused to do, instead
passed what is called a bank insurance
law. lhe house reluctantly concurred
In this law with the understanding that
1t was merely supplemental to a guaran-
tee law that the senate would later
adopt. When the governor learned that
the senate would refuse to pass the guar
antee law. he vetoed the insurance law.
In pointing out the weaknesses Of the
insurance law, Gov. Hoch said in part:
This bill proposes the organization Of
banking insurance companies absolutely
tree from supervision by the banking de-
Partment or insurance department Of the
state. 1t provides no state supervision
except by the charter board, which is
furnished with neither funds nor experts
tor the work of such supervision. 1t pro-
Wdes no limitation upon the rate Of in
surance and leaves that and other vital
matters entirely to the private corpora
ton it proposes to charter. Itwould sub
ject all the banks Of the state to the die.
tatlon OF company of spectators, whose
arbitrary terms the state is given no pow
er whatever to control.
This bill contemplates the organiza-
ton Of a bankers trust which would give
few big bankers an opportunity to ex-
plot small ones. 1t would create DOW
erful political machine, especially for the
control Of legislation, in which nine hum
dred banks would have to participate or
suffer the disfavor Of this powerful COM
bnaton. We have had enough Of this
experience this session. The bill makes
the Secretary Of State an agent to boom
a private corporation organized for profit,
and requires him to solicit from every
bank in the State In this exclusive ccrpor-
alton tetore the company is organized"

Seward |. Field, Secretary.
The Quarantine Law.

There has been considerable specuIa-
ton as to the powers of the county health
officer as regards quarantine measures,
since the smallpox trouble set in, and to
get thorough understanding Mayor
Field wrote to DR.. Crumbine, secretary
of the state board of health, making
inquiry as to the Secretary's construction
OF the statute. DR.. Crumbine, replying,
states that the county physician is en-
powered to quarantine all smallpox
cases, all who have been exposed and
all others whom the physician has reason
to believe are affected.
The statute seems very plain and
there should be no dispute among people
as to what should be done in such cases.
Disease is always stamped out by
quarantine and isolation. The practice
Of paralyzing business is ancient and
ought not to be endorsed in this day and
age.
