Near to a Tragedy

A rambuncious kid residing on Pious
Hill, on the Idaho side of town, nearly
caused tragedy on Tuesday. Three OF
his companions were sitting on fence
when he ordered them to get down. The
boys refused. He told them the second
time that unless they obeyed him he
would shoot them. Still the kids re-
manned on the fence. The kid then went
into the house and securing a rifle re-
turned and again commanded them to
obey with the same results. The COM
mand was not obeyed and the kid took
a shot at the rail birds. His aim was
close, but luckily not quite close enough.
NeighbOrs ran out of doors to see what
the commotion was and quickly dis
armed the kid.
That kid needs looking after.

The Turkey Shoot

The turkey shoot given by Louia
kirchan on Tuesday afternoon was a
great success. In addition to the 50
turkeys that were used for prizes there
were number of ducks and geese.
After the main shoot was off number
OF the fowls were turned loose and there
was wild scramble for the birds by the
bystanders. The man who caught the
bird was the owner of it. This portion
of the affair created great deal of mer-
riment.
Some of the best shots in this locality
made miserable scores, while a few
novices made remarkable records.
Nearly 100 different parties participated
in the shoot. Dallas O'Harra won the
largest number of birds, obtaining nine
of them. DR.. Hughes was close second
with seven, and Jim Culbertson secured
six.
The scrubs took an inning at the tur-
key shoot on Wednesday. The exhibit
ton was something wonderful. But few
OF the shots hit the target or the stump
on which it was placed. If one OF the
parties was lucky enough to hit inside
the charmed circle he was sure to get
the turkey. The interest manifested in
the shoots may lead to the formation of
a gun club in Newport. There are a
number of fine shots in this locality
and many new ones might be developed.
Nearly all of the surrounding towns
have clubs and interesting Journeys
could be arranged for the winter.

There is as much interest in Topeka in
the personality of Mrs. Walter Roscoe
Stubs, of Lawrence, who will proba-
bly, be the next mistress of the Gov
ernor's House as in the policies Of her
husband, the next governor. The lat
ter, however, are pretty well known,
the former not so familiar to the pub
lie. Although Mrs. Stubs has been in
Topeka a great deal since her hus-
band-frst began taking an interest in
politics and many Topeka people have
met her, she is not the sort of woman
who dominates Copeland county, So
cially during the legislative sessions.
nor whose clothes and manners and
fads attract attention and comment.
Mrs. Stubs is the kind of woman seen
Oftener with her children than with
her dogs (although the Stubs family
have a fine thoroughbred English bull
dog to which they are all devoted) and
ofteneSt not seen at all, for she is the
quiet, retiring domestic type of wom-
anly woman who finds her chief inter
ests and her greatest happiness in her
home.
This sounds like the usual mice"
stuff written about women whose hus-
bands have attained prominence, but
what is one to say? Mrs. Stubs is
undeniably that kind of a woman-the
kind everybody admires. gentle and
amiable and thoroughly nkable, devo-
ted wife and mother. When her hus-
band was a poor man she shared his
burdens; since he became independent
ly rich and achieved success in politics,
she has rejoiced in his triumphs and
enjoyed his prosperity. But it will not
be claimed that she made her hus-
band" There is a sneaking suspicion
in the unprecedented mind that Walter
Roscoe Stubs Is the sort of man who
would have made himself under any
sort OF circumstances and even if his
choice of a wife had not been a wise
one and his domestic life happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stubs have four chill
dren. two girls and two boys. The old
est Is Miss Leonora Stubs, a young
girl still in school The next is Walter
Roscoe, Junior, known as Roscoe, who
is about IL years old. Then comes the
second son, Paul, and then the younger
daughter, Margaret. Miss Leonora
Stubs has been attending high school
In Lawrence. She has not yet gradua-
ted and she may enter high school
here, or go to Washburn or the College
OF the Sisters of Bethany. The other
children will probably go to the public
schools, as they do in Lawrence.
The Stubs family attend the
Quaker church in Lawrence. There is
no Quaker society in Topeka but the
presence of Quaker family in the
Governors House may awaken local
interest in that denomination which
formerly held regular services in To-
peka. Everybody is asking whether
the Governors House will be gayer
during the next administration than il

A pretty feature of the Campbell
Davis wedding Thursday was the cut
ting of the wedding cake at the home
OF the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs
j. A. Campbell, la Clay street, after
the ceremony at Grace cathedral. An
old scotch custom which provides that
the bride put the dirk" in the cake
and the maid of honor cut 1t, was fol-
lowed. Miss Campbell had no attend
ants but she chose Miss Reita Upde-
graft to act as maid of honor for this
ceremony. The dirk used was an old
heirloom, dating back to the year
1900 and which has been in the pos
session OF Mr.: Campbelfs family ever
since that time 1t is a beautiful
knife with a handle of curiously
wrought silver in an emblematic de-
sign. richly set with the favorite

Campbell is a member of a famous old
Scotch family, the Campbells of In
verneill and Ross, distinguished both in
peace and war. His nephew, Mr.
Duncan Campbell. the young laird of
Inverneill and Ross, and Mrs Camp
bell were here from Scotland last
spring on visit, and Miss Jessie
Campbell. who Thursday became Mrs
Edwin w. Davis of Leavenworth, spent
year with her Scotch and English
relatives shortly after she finished
school.
A smart coat and skirt costume of

model being especially worthy of notice
