An Object Lesson in Advertising.

There is no advertising quite so prom
nent. just now, in the daily papers, and
many weeklies, as bank advertising.
This fact is noteworthy because only a
few years ago it was considered undigni-
fled, or ,unprofessional, for banking in
situations to solicit business in this way.
Banking was considered in an exclusive
class, which, while having important re-
lations with manufacturing and mercan-
tile interests, yet did not enter openly
into competition for business--did not
advertise for it,.
There was never any sound reason for
banks not to advel tise-only custom
and it is but display Of present bust
ness intelligence for them to recognize
the value of newspaper publicity. There
are still certain classes which pretend to
consider it mot professional to adver-
tise, but we observe that most individ-
uals belonging to such classes are per-
fectly willing, if not anxious, to have
their names mentioned in certain news
items in such way as to give the best
sort of advertising, free of charge.
Banks would not now spend money for
newspaper space, did they not consider
it necessary and profitable to them to do
so. The very life of their business the
gospel of it's to make and save money.
The example, therefore, which they set
in advertising so literally, is the best
possible Endorsement of the value of adj
vertising that it could receive from any
source; it is an object lesson for business
men of all kinds to take note of, as one
which has been carefully thought out by
those most competent to do so. Carroll

Maximum of Legislatures to Re

Other Items of Interest in Rail-

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 25.-The presi-
dents of western railroads are trying
TO bring about the abolition of all re-
duced passenger rates and to make
the legal maximum rate in each state
the minimum rate also. Several con-
ferences have been held upon the
subject, but no decision has been
reached. 1t is understood that nearly
all the chief executives are in favor
of doing away with reduced rates for
special occasions beginning January
! of next year. 1t will take until
then, it is said. to clean up the sit
uation.
Hitherto efforts to do away with
all reduced rates have proven futile
because some of the railroads desired
to continue homeseekers' and colon
lists rates, with a view to building
up various portions of their territory.
The presidents seem to be OF the
opinion that all reduced rates should
go by the board in view of the fact
that the western states have under
taken to fix what the railroad men
think are low maximum rates. Last
year the executive officials of the pas
senger departments tried to abolish
all low rates, but failed signally.

OLD LOVE REVIVED
In 1862 Miles Parks and Martha
HarrOd Were Married.
Twenty Four Years Later They
Agreed to Disagree.
REUNITEDBY LAWSUIT
Divorce Proceedings Pending
When Cupid Made His Call.
Husband and Wife Lived Apart
for Third of Century.
Observation-Disclosures

Wellington, Kan, Aug. 25.-After
33 years cupid again brought the
hearts of Martha Jane Harrod and
Miles Parks together and Judge
Julian issued the parties a license to
wed. Parks is IS years old and Mrs.
Harrod 76.
In 1852 these same people, then
young lovers in Washington county,
Ohio, were married but in 1876 their
love began to wane and Parks started
for Deadwood, South Dakota, to look
up another location. Soon after ar
irving at Deadwood he began divorce
proceedings.
Husband Gets Divorce in Dakota.
But as the divorce laws of the Da-
kotas were very lenient Mrs. Parks
heard nothing of the proceedings, so
in 1873 she started proceedings. While
they were pending she read in the
dispatches that her husband had been
killed in snow slide in Colorado.
Cupid again got busy and she and
Minard Harrod were married in 1884
It being the second time cupid had
visited them both, their children did
not take kindly to the marriage and
only lived with them until they be-
came enamored with the winsome
way of cupid and were married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harro1 came to this
county in the eighties and lived on
years ago they gathered considerable
of the worlds goods and moved to
this city to enjoy the remainder of
the days in comparative ease. In
February Mr.. Harrod died. 1t was
after Mr.. Harrod's death that legal
battle took place to ascertain the
ownership of the Harrod thousands.
Stepdaughters Wrote Miles Parks.
Mrs. Ada Ward and Mrs. Amanda
Masters. daughters of Mr.. Harrod by
the first wife. discovered that their
stepmother's first husband was not
dead, but that he lived in Iowa. The
case was tried in the federal court
at Wichita before Judge Pollock who
decided that inasmuch as she had
lived with Harrod for % years and
had helped to earn the money, as
she believed, his legal wife, she was
entitled to one-third the estate and
so awarded her that portion.
In the meantime Mrs. Harrod to
make sure of her claim to the Har-
rod estate, filed a divorce proceed
ings against Parks and this case is
now pending in the district court.
Herrick & Herrick are her attorneys
in the divorce case and it will of
course be dismissed at the next
term of court.
Through recent correspondence Gu
pid again got busy and 1.-The two
hearts beat as one" And let's hope
that their married life from now on
will not be as ''checkered" as their
former marriage, 81 years ago was.

KANSAS PIGS WE'RE IMMUNE.
Experts Tried to InnocuIate Them
With Hog Cholera.

Ottawa, Kan. Aug. 25.-Six pigs
of a bunch shipped to the Kansas
City market by B. NJ. Elliott of this
county, were selected by government
officials of the animal industry
bureau, with which to experiment for
scientific purposes.
The animals were picked out of a
great number because of their par
ticularly hea1thful appearance, to be
innoculated with hog cholera virus
in a test to determine the virtues of
anti-toxin. To the establishment of
the experts the pigs. proved to be
immune-they were too healthy to
take the cholera even under special
treatment.
