G. Orvis and wife, of Mil.

"A. CT. Orvis and wife, of Mil
waukee, are guests at the r. II.
Richardson home in this city. Mrs.
Richardson and Mrs. Orvis are sisters.
Mr.. Orvis bears the distinction Of
having been the oldest engineer in
the employ of the Milwaukee railroad
at the time of quitting the work about
four years ago. For forty one years
he presided at the throttle. He has
seen railroading grow from an "infant
industry" to its present gigantic pro-
portions. In his early experience a
coal burning locomotive was unknown.
Locomotives in those times weighed
about twenty tons. about one-fifth
the weight of the ordinary engine of
these times. In the early days, said
Mr.. Orvis a steam gage such as is
now in use was unknown. A locomo-
tive was provided with a sort of scale,
and, said Mr.. Orvis, "if it lifted hard
we threw in more word" In his forty
first year as engineer Mr.. Orvis was
the victim of an accident, caused by
the carelessness of another, which
cost him his left leg.

ssMOLLY BAWN"

A dramatization of "Molly Bawn," a
novel by the Duchess, was given at
the Girard Avenue Theatre yesterday
afternoon for the first time on any
stage. Beulah Poynter, who drama
tized the novel, appeared in the title
role and gave a very creditable per-
Torrance. The play is filled with in
teresting episodes and there are v
al love stories, As III ali w~eii-feguiat-
ed plays, there is a happy ending
That the piece will strike popular
favor was indicated by the laughter
and applause that were frequently
heard during the performance. Miss
Poynter's popularity was shown in
the passing over the footlights of
many floral tributes. In her support
the work of Sylvia Starr, M. j. Loring
and T. V. Armand was specially COM
mendable. Saturday, Oct. 23rd at

The Gang VS. The Dads.

The celebrated game of ball be-
tween the City Dads and Court House
Gang came off on schedule time
Thursday afternoon last, and, as ex-
pected, it was a wonder. AT the start
it looked like the Dads had been bad
ly outclassed. They couldn't hit
Dillon's balls, except occasionally,
and then to foul them. The Gang
when they came to bat had no trouble
hitting Cannon and the Dads appear
ed equally as bad at catching or stop
ping the ball, as they did at batting.
The Gang made 8 scores without in
terruption, when Wyatt made a
double play on End. From then on
the sun Of the Gang set and for the
Dads steadily rose, until it appeared
to the onlookers that maybe Cannon
and Ray had been having fun and
jollying the Gang. After a heated
contest at the seventh inning the score
stood IL to IL and the game was call.

Harry Thaw is Sent Back to In
sane Asylum.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug.-Harry
Kendall Thaw was sent back to Mat
teawan to be held an insane man, and
a menace to the public if at liberty.
Justice Isaac N. Mills filed his de-
cision denying Thaw's application for
release and ordering him returned to
the madhouse from which he has
been fighting for his freedom ever
since he was committed there by
Justice Downing, at the end Of his
second murder trial, when he was ac-
quilted on the grounds of insanity.
Justice Mills decision was a vol
luminous document, reviewing all the
testimony taken at the three weeks
trial which ended last Saturday.
Justice Mills had authority to free
Thaw, return him to Matteawan or
send him to some other State institu-
ton for observation. He also could
have given Thaw into the custody Of
a keeper during a term of probation.
After reviewing the testimony, the
decision announces Justice Mills con.
illusions as follows:
"First-The insanity with which
Harry X. Thaw was afflicted on June
Is, 1905, when he killed Sanford
White, was of the kind known as
chronic delusive insanity, or paranoia
''Second-Harry X. Thaw has no
recovered from his insanity"

Times have greatly changed since
grandma was a girl. In that slower
and duller day certain old-faShioned
notions regarding matrimonial eligi-
bility held sway, and among them
was the idea that a knowledge of
household duties was highly credit
able to the bride, and some steady
occupation of a breadwinning char
acter was equally creditable to the
bridegroom. But society has largely
done away with these primitive requi-
sites for home-n king. In the an
nouncement of looming marriage
of two young e whose families
are of social y ,nence in the East
we are told tn ne prospective bride
is an expert ,er and whip and a
good amateur actress. OF course,
these are admirable accomplishments
for a young woman contemplating
matrimony, but they would not have
been considered as of first impor'
lance in grandma's day. And the
prospective bridegroom is described
in a general way as college gradu
ate and a good ball player, having
been a member of the varsity nine

teresting young persons appear to b.
entirely overshadowed by these ath
letic distinctions at least, no attemp

After Tax Dodgers.

There is more or less complaint
over the county that many holders of
notes, moneys and other personal
property, fail to give in to the asses
sor correct list of their holdings,
thus evading payment of their just
share of the revenue, without which
no government can exist. When one
taxpayer neglects or refuses to give
in the full amount of his or her prop
erty to the assessor it is not only
stealing from the government, but is
putting an unjust and increased bur-
den on the honest taxpayer who does
return to the assessor a correct list.
For the correction of this rapidly
growing evil, there can be nothing
better than publicity of the returns
made to the assessors of the different
townships.
The Progress will endeavor to in.
augurate publicity movement in this
county by publishing the complete
personal property assessment list of
Richland township as soon as the as
SCISSOR has completed his work, and
hopes to see other papers in the coun-
ty and state adopt the same policy:
There should be a law compelling the
publication of the tax list in every
county, but every effort to enact such
a law has so far been defeated

DRAINAGE IN KANSAS.
Preparations Being Made to EN-.
ulate Bates County. Willing
to Spend SIS Per Acre.

W 1PNAto VAO Il u HhNANs
Mr.. j. F. Kern, Butler, Mo.
Dear Sir:-I am sending you some
copies of our paper containing vari-
GUS flood information, including an
estimate of the acreage and crop area
covered by the flood in this county.
This basis of loss does not include
that done in the city, which might
easily be estimated at $50 900, but for
which there is scarcely any definite
guide.
Senator Bristow's secretary, who
had the signal system proposition up
with the weather bureau at Washing.
ton, says the department seemed
much interested, and willing to dc
whatever was practical, and thought
there was a possibility of installing
some stations this fall.
We are now waiting on the govern
ment engineers, who are overdue, to
begin the new survey of the valley.
Our drainage organization is deter
mined TO push the work along, and
the big majority Of landowners have
no prejudice against spending SIS or so
an acre. Many of them are going to
work out neighborhood dixie plans
this fall and winter, as an auxiliary to
the main work, which il is hoped to
put through the entire width of the
county, The Santa Fe railroad has
shown large interest in the discus
sion, and its engineers heartily en-.
dorse the drainage ditch idea. From
what hear, Linn and Miami counties
will join with us.
should be very glad to hear OF
any activities in your section, either
from engineering parties or in any
other way.
With much appreciation of your in
terest, am, Yours,
A. L. Miller.
The above letter to j. F. Kern by
A. l.. Miller, editor of the Ottawa
Herald, shows that our neighbors
across the line have confidence in the
ditch project, as inaugurated by the
Bates County Drainage Ditch District
andare willing to spend at least$l5pel
acre on the project. He also says the
Santa Fe railroad is showing much
interest and its engineers endorse the
Drainage Ditch idea. OF course, the
citizens of that District, the railroad
and its engineers have not yet consult
ed the Pleasanton Herald and Hume
Telephone. In view of the flood re
suits, the above should be gratifying
to and encourage the people of the
Drainage District, who are pioneers il
the project in this state and mus
abide the result.

Distinguished Citizens Met as
Travelling Companions.

AAoHCAhS companions
Governor John A. Johnson, of Min
neSota, and William j. Bryan met by
accident at the Union Station in ST.
Louis, on Sunday and took the same
train to travel together as far as Des
Moines, Iowa. Their greetings were
most cordial and each expressed sat
isfaction at the others company. They
both condemned the new tariff law.
To a Republic reporter Gov. john
said:
1T is a woeful disappointment to
the people out in my section of the
country" "The feeling is general
that it is betrayal Of promises made
and failure of the Republicans to
keep the pledges for downward re-
vision made in the last campaign.
Cove Johnson said the sentiment
regarding the tariff in Minnesota was
best expressed by the fact that eight
of the nine Congressman from that
State and the two United States Sem
ators voted against the bill"
There is not Republican newspa-
per in the twin cities-Minneapolis
and st. Paul-that has not criticised
the tariff bill. Democrats and Re-
publicans are quite unanimous in
their denunciation of the measure.
''If the Democratic party in the
next congressional and national cam
paigns assumes the proper attitude on
the tariff and emphasizes its position
with sufficient force, we will stand an
excellent chance to win, added the
Minnesota Governor.
