SHE WANTS A SHARE.
Mrs. Whitmer Takes Divorce Case to
Supreme Court.

Catherine c. Whitmer. aged 70,
plaintiff and John Whitmer, aged so,
defendant, are the dramatic personae
in a highly sensational and saffron
hued divorce suit which was filed to-
day in the supreme court of the state
on appeal from Russell county. The
Whitmers were married April %,
1907, and perhaps the 23 date was
their hoodoo.
Whitmer is a wealthy farmer who
owns lots of land in both Russell and
Ellsworth counties. His wife says he
is worth 100000. Mrs Whitmer, who
before her marriage was Miss
Catherine Fitz-Allen. Ca name. which,
by the way, she assumed through APP
peal to the courts, for no very obvious
reason) lived at Leavenworth and at
Kansas City. She is said to own some
valuable property in Kansas City.
The couple was happy only six
weeks after marriage, and Judging
from the frightful display of vulgar
and profane language in the record,
they certainly said things to each
other. Mrs. Whitmer charged that
her husband abused her. and Mr..
Whitmer said that his wife wouldn't
stay at home but kept gadding about
the country. Mrs. Whitmer sued for
a divorce, and good big slice of
Whitmer's property; Whitmer came
back with a counter petition for
divorce. and no property concessions
The court apparently was willing to
accommodate both parties with the
divorce, but he failed to give Mrs.
Whitmer any of the property. Hence
she appeals to the supreme court.

Anna johnson Forces C. NJ. Cheatwood

That it is dangerous to make remarks

Cheatwood, grocer who runs a store
at Seventh and Chestnut streets
Friday afternoon Cheatwood appear

asking for and receiving a warrant for
a girl named Anna johnson. The girl
was arrested. with the intention of
binding her over to keep the peace, but
When the court calls her case today, it
of age, and out of the Jurisdiction of
the court.
The story, as told by Cheatwood is
probably correct, with the exception of
the details. He says that the mother
of the girl owed him a grocery bill, and
that he had quarreled with her about
it. With this illfeeling on tap, he went
further and told some one that the girl
was not up to the proper moral stand
ard. He says he heard this from some
one, and simply repeated the rumor.
But his talk reached the ears of the
girl herself. Not caring to approach her
stepfather with so delicate a subject,
the girl decided to stop the defama-
tory talk in her own way, SO she took
a nice little revolver, and repaired to
Cheatwood's store. Then, in the YER
nacular, she told him where he got
off at" She emphasized her request
for less loose talk by poking the shiny
little gun under the grocer's nose.
Cheatwood rushed to the court for pro-
threatened his life, and that he fear
ed she would kill him unless restrain

The case will be taken to the probate
court, as the court of Topeka has no
jurisdiction over juvenile cases.

PLACE TO GROW IN.
Position of Private Secretary TO the
President an Important One.

washington. Nov. 21.-Fred W.
CARPENTER will be President Taft's pri-
vate secretary and as such Win De
come an important factor in ashlng-
ton political and social HE during the
next four years.
The office of secretary to the presi-
dent is of the highest Importance, re-
quiring a man of quick declsloh, slro4s
will, smooth diplomacy. He is the onl-
cial mouthp piece of the administrator,
and his remarks are quoted as though
the president had himself spoken A
slip of the tongue may embarrasS the
entire nation. In addition to this, ne
must stand between the president ana
the outside world when the occasion
demands, and must handle the s1tua-
ton in such a way as to not embarrass
his superior. He must live, talk and
act the life of the president.
George B. CorteIyou and William
Loeb, the last two secretaries, nave
made themselves internationally IA
nous through this position. So much
ability was brought out in Secretary
Cortelyou that he was made national
campaign manager during the fight
four years ago, and afterwards was
made part of the presidents official
family by being annexed to the cab
met first as secretary of commerce
and labor as postmaster general, and
later as secretary of the treasury
where his sterling worth was made
evident during the recent financial de-
William Loeb who succeeded Cor
telyou, has shown just. as much ability
and has had many fattering offers
from business concerns who have rec
ognized this. When he leave President
Roosevelt on March 4 it will be to step
into one or the other of the many
lucrative and influential business posi-
tions which have been offered him.
Fred w. Carpenter has been Mr..
Taft's private secretary for many
years and will continue as such when
he is in the White House. Mr.. Car
penter is comparatively little known
at present but he holds the oppor-
tunity of making himself known over
the world, as have his two predeceS-
sors He is young, energetic and pos
sesses all the requirements of a presi-
dents private secretary, for when it
comes to understanding President
elect Taft and his ideas regarding pub
lie affairs and public men there is no
one so we'll qualified as Mr.. Carpenter.

CONNOR MAY EAT DEER.
Kansas Embargo Doesn't Apply to the
Tame Kind.

When the special session of the leg
islature passed a law of the most
stringent character for the protection
of deer IN Kansas, people smiled They
didn't suppose there were any deer in
Kansas, anyway, and they couldn't un-
derstand why Senator w. J. Conner of
Labette introduced the bill, or why
anybody voted for it.
The law which Senator Conner pass
ed was a rock-ribbed, copper bottom
ed affair, setting forth that it is "un-
lawful for any person or persons at
any time in the state of Kansas to
hunt, catch, kill, shoot, pursue. en-
trap, or ensnare" any antelope or
deer.
Now it happens that Senator Con-
nor's interest in deer is due to the fact
that he owns a deer park. The other
day it occurred to Senator Conner that
it would be nice to have some deer
meat for Thanksgiving. He contem-
plated putting one of his tame deer to
death, and serving the venison with
appropriate ceremonies on November
26. Then it happened to occur to him
that he had secured the passage of a
law prohibiting within the state of
Kansas the killing of deer.
For a while Senator ConnOr thought
he had been blown up by his own
petard. His anti-deer killing law had
Conner wrote to Attorney General
jackson and asked him whether there
was any way to dodge the law and kill
one of his own deer.
After looking up Some authorities,
Mr. jackson decided that the courts
had held that such laws as the one
Conner passed applied to wild game,
and that If a man has mind to raise
deer for his own uSe,~ he can do so,
and they cease. being wild game. and
become domestic cattle. So it has
been decided that Mr.. Conner can eat
deer for Thanksgiving.
