HE BET WITH HIS WIFE
But He Lost and the Wichita Man Did
HouseWork for a Week.

Wichita, Kan, Nov 13=The set
! ting of the sun was welcomed by no
one one, in Wichita more than it was by
Billy Schnitzler. 1t ended a week Of
arduous work for him. The work was
not hard physical labor, but far more
exacti1s for it was brought on by an
election bet. Listen! For the past
week Mr.. Schnitzler has been doing
the household work, while Mrs.
Schnitzler has been sitting around the
| house occupying herself by reading the
papers.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Schnftzler was
confident that E. E. Enoch would be
elected probate judge in Sedgwick
county. Mrs. Schnitzler was equally
as confident that he would not be
elected. With such difference of
opinion there was a good chance for
a bet. Mr.. Schnitzler was the first to
grasp at the opportunity. One day
easily Judge Enoch would win, and
Mrs. Schnitzler received his boasting
with disregard he offered to make a
wager. This was the wager:
eff Mr.. Enoch did not win he was
to do the housework for one week.
If Enoch did win Mrs. Schnitzler was
to perform the usual tasks of Mr..
Schnitzler.'
Judge Mr.. Schnitzler took up his
duties as woman of the house We'd
nesday. His time of service expired
Tuesday night.

more lenient with her husband than
she would have been with a servant,
she has had occasion to unbraid him
a number of times. His cooking at
times did not suit. Or in doing up the
morning dishes he was very slow. In
fact at all times he was a little slow.
However. Just as he gave up his new
work he was getting real handy
around the house.
Mrs. Sehnitzler stands ready to make
another wager at the next election.

HIS KINDNESS COST $40.
Fortune Teller Tells George Gentry
Sister-in-IaN Got His Money.


Coffeyville, Kan, Nov. 13.-George
Gentry is $40 short on account of be-
ing a good fellow and giving up his
bed to let his sister-in-law have it.
Now George is looking for his relative
with a warrant. He is apparently con-
vinced that she is the guilty party for
a fortune teller told him that she had
his money.
Saturday night about midnight, Re
becca Hill came to Georges house and
said that she was afraid that the po-
lice were after her and wanted to
know whether she could stay there all
night. George told her yes, and Mrs.
Gentry made a bed on the floor, and
she and her husband slept there and
let Rebecca have the bed.
George had his money in his sleeve
and some time during the night the
money was taken. George was sus-
picious. but did lot do anything then.
Instead he drove to Lenapah and con-
suited a fortune teller. The fortune
teller told him that the sister-fn-law
had taken his money during the night.
George was satisfied then for he says
any time you want to know the truth
you should consult this fortune teller,
for she doesn't make mistakes.
A warrant was secured in the city
court on Monday evening, but in the
meantime Rebecca must have gotten
wind of it, for she has not been seen
since Other towns where she is wont
to visit were notified, but up to the
present time nothing has been heard
from her.

APoLoGIzED AFTER YEARS.
Atchison Attorney Pays Fine He Has
Long Owed at Hiawatha.

Hiawatha, Kan, Nov. 13.-When
case No. 40 was called for trial in the
district court here T. A. Moxcey, an
attorney from Atchison county, step
ped up to Clerk Ralph Hicks and
handed him s25. then turning to
Judge w. I. Stuart, made an apology
before the open court.
Eight years ago, when Judge Stuart
had Just been elected in the district
court at Troy, he overruled an objec-
ton made by Moxcey. Moxcey be-
came angry and made a motion for
new trial, stating that Judge Stuart
had interfered with the choosing of
Jury, and giving his client the worst
of the bargain. judge Stuart stated
the law in the case and fined Moxcey
s25 for contempt of court, also de-
rnanding an apology before he would
let Moxcey appear for another client
in the court of this district. Moxcey
escaped naying the fine, and this is
the first case in which he has appeared
in this district since.

TEXAS AND sOONERs TO-DAY.
Both Coaches Are Confident of a De-
cisiVe Victory.

Norman. Ok, Nov. 13.-Coach Met
zenthin of Texas university and his 20
husky Longhorns, whom he expects to
defeat the Sooners Friday, arrived here
over the Santa Fe in their special tour
ist car, and the squad appeared on
Boyd field for signal and kicking prac-
tice. Yesterday was the coolest day
of this season in Norman and the cold
wave had a noticeable effect on the
Texans. The Texans appeared in
heavy sweaters, and it became so cold
that the coach stopped practice early.
Coach Bennie Owens had the Soon
ers out for a long period of hard prac-
tice. The Sooners are not in very good
condition for the game.
There is a great difference in the ap-
pearance of the Texas and Oklahoma
teams, the former is heavy and nearly
every man in the squad is tall and
husky looking; the Oklahoma men are
low, light and more Chunky" than the
Texans. Coach Metzenthin was dis
gusted with the practice. He said that
his men were putting on poor exhibit
ton. However, the coach expects that
the Longhorns will put up hard game
and win by a handsome score.

1900 MILE RUN.
An Electric Machine Is in a
Long Trip.
Is Making Journey From
Lincoln to Washington.
TO MAKE 1T IN 2I DAYS
Jogging Along Across Country
Finds Horrible Roads.
TO ITIN DAYS
Makes About 20 Miles Every
TWenty-FOur Hours.

Chicago. Nov 13.-From Lincoln
| Neb., to New York city and from there
/ to New York city and from there tc
| Washington, D. c., in an electric auto
mobile in the ambitious attempt being
/ made by two Denver men. o. P
Fritchie and w. P Pfaff. who arrived
/ in Chicago Monday night and who re-
sumed their journey yesterday after
noon. They want to make the run
| from Lincoln to New York in Il days,
distance of more than 1,S00 miles,
which will give them a record for dis
tance, they say, such as no other car
of the electric type can show.
Mr.. Fritchie is the manufacturer of
( the Fritchfe, electric and having busi-
ness in Washington. where he intends
establishing a branch, he conceived the
idea of driving overland to demonstrate
the possibilities of his rig in a touring
line. He had before him the long jour
ney of the Woods electric, from Chi
cago to Lincoln, Neb.; the trip of the
Detroit electric. from Detroit to New
York city. and the 1000 mile jaunt
through Illinois of the Babcock. and he
wanted to improve on all these. He
was compelled to ship from Denver to
Lincoln, because of the fact there are
no charging plants between these two
cities and without a charging plant an
electric is as helpless as a gasoline car
without fuel
Leaving Lincoln October 81, the
Fritchie has plugged along at an aver
age of 20 miles a day. striking roads
in Iowa that were so deep in mud that
in one or two places F'ritchie found
gasoline cars laid UP waiting for the
highways to dry up. In one stretch
he did SO miles in a day over roads
that were none too good. The Iowa
highways We're bad. he declares, but
crossing Illinois he found the going
much improved, and he is confident
that he will be able to reach New York
city from here in the IA days still left
him. He is not going the easy way
from Chicago, either. he having chosen
to travel by way of Pittsburg, which
means going over the Allegheny noun
tains.
1.-THE car I am driving is a stock pro-
position said Fritchie. 1T has vic
toria body and is geared lower than
usual because of the bad going. The
maximum speed is IS miles an hour.
The Fritchie, however, can do better
than that. Geared for running on
smooth city streets, my car can do 25
miles an hour. We guarantee 100 miles
on a charge and can do 115 on country
do $50 miles. The Fritchie has a great
been beaten in a hill-climb or in any
other contest and if the Chicago Motor
club sets up test next spring, as its
officers say it will, they can count upon
me as a certain competitor. 1 will
come from Denver to compete On my
way home 1 intend stopping off here
and securing representation in this city,
for 1 believe Chicago is peculiarly
ADAPTED to the electric"

FATE OF A RUNAWAY GIRL.
MeIvina Hathaway, Deserted in Gold
field, Returns to Wellington.


Wellington, Kan, Nov. 13.-The
Mail says:
Miss Melvina Hathaway, the 17-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Hathaway, who eloped with J. c. Cas-
teel married man, some three weeks
ago, arrived home last night from
GOldfeld, Nevada, at which point she
was deserted penniless by J. G. Casteel.
She was taken before County Attor-
ney Herrick by her father this morn
ing and told pitiful story of her hap
penings since leaving home. She said
that she and Casteel were not married
but as the story went he told her that
he would marry her as soon as he
could get a divorce from his wife.
His sudden disappearance from her
at GOldfield, Nevada, left her heart
broken, penniless and far from home
and friends. Some well to do people
at Goldheld, who were appraised of
the unfortunate girls position, gallant
ly came to her aid and furnished the
means whereby she could get home.
It Will be remembered that Castee
drove to Riverdale where they board
ed train for Kansas City. The next
heard of the couple they were seen in
Woodward OKLA, bound for the west.
The next report of their whereabouts
was at Goldfeld, Nevada, when Cas-
teel dropped a card to friend in Wei
ling asking that his mail be forwarded
to that point.
The authorities issued orders to the
authorities at Goldfeld to arrest and
hold the said Casteel. but before they
received the instructions the bird had
flown and the next heard of him he
was held by the officers in San Fran
cisco, Cal, awaiting an officer from
here to bring him back to back to
Wellington.
Sheriff d. E Holiday left on the
noon train for Topeka where he will
secure requisition papers from the gov
ernor and go on from there to San
Francisco after Mr.. Casteel.
