Exit Two-cent Fares.

The United States federal court has
just handed down decision annulling
the 2-cent passenger law and the maxi
mum freight rate law IN the state Of Mis-
SCUM. The decision is likely to affect all
states having 2-cent or maximum freight
rate limit. but. Of course. it is too early
to say as to that. Kansas at no time
had compulsory 2-cent rate. The rail-
roads and the railroad commissioners
merely had patched up agreement to
put such rate into effect until the courts
pass on the constitutionality Of the law
as enforced in other states. Now that
the law has been declared unconshtuton-
al in Missouri it is more than probable
that the old 3-cent rate will be restored
in Kansas.
Gov. Hadley Of Missouri says the
case will be carried up to the higher courts
but that is little consolation. The people
have little reason to hope for relief from
such action.
Courts, after all, are human and the
popular vote Of last fall in favor of rail-
roads and corporations generally had
probably more or less influence on the
decision.

 J Miss Future May Bloom daughter fof NJ. F. Bloom, cashier of the Citizens ! Bank, of this city, and Dr. H. E. Will Hams, a popular and promising young physician of this city, son of l;r. II. E.. Williams Sr4, coroner of Jefferson county, were inarriejl in St. Louis Sat urday evening :a [ clock by Reverend Stark. pastor of the Presbyterian church in that city. 7 The ceremony was a quiet affair and was an agree able surprise to their. many friends in this city. Mrs. Laura I-andon, of Chi cago, mother of the bride, was the only attendant. She accompanied Miss Bloom from Chicago to St. Louis, where they met Dr. Williams by ap- point 5nent. Miss Bloom hadN been visiting her mother in the windy Stity. After the Ceremony Dr. and Mrs. Will iiams left for Pine Bluff~ard arrived here Sunday. They are ''at home" to their many friends at the Hotel Jeffer- son. but will soon occupy a handsome cottage on West Fifth avenue. which has been given them as 2 wedding gist by M. E. Bloom.
 \ rather singular coincidence was the fact that two hours after the cere- mony was performed that made Dr. Williams and Miss Bloom husband and wife, M F. Bloom, father of the bride, was married to Miss Ida NJ. DreyfuS, in this city The two cere- monies were unexpected by the princi- pals in the two weddings and although it was known that both were to wed. the date for either wedding had not been previously announced. Miss Bloom is one of Pine Bluffs sweetest and most charming young ladies. She is daughter of one of the States best financiers and has many endearin@ 2 qualities. Dr. Williams is one of Pine Bluffs youngest and best physicians. He enjoys a large practice here anr is man of fine ability and sterling worth He is a member of one of the best families in this section of the state.
