No 1 Lost Out

The claims of Sarah Mcbride of
St. Paul, Kansas, who was at one
time the wife of the late John Fra
Itch of this county, were tried out
in probate court in this city last
Wednesday. The claimant was
allowed nothing by Judge Garrison,
after listening attentively to the
evidence in the case and carefully
examining the law relating there
to.
Mrs. Mcbride testified that she
had been married four times. ALI
of her ex husbands, excepting Mr..
Fralich, are living. Mr.. Fralich
was her first husband. They were
married in 1874 and she secured a
divorce on the ground of desertion
in 1876. Her second husband as
sisted her to secure divorce from
husband No. I, but it did not >ap-
pear in evidence that husband No.
3 assisted her in getting unhitched
from husband No. 2.
The woman claimed $4,000 all=
mony against the Fralich estate
and interest at six per cent since
1892. This claim is based on sup
port for son who died in 1892.
She wants $500 a year for support
of the child from the time of the
divorce until the date of death, and
interest on the whole amount from
the date of the sons death up to
this time.
1t did not appear that at the
time of the divorce she asked for
anything of this kind nor was she
granted alimony. There are other
matters connected with the divorce
that were irregular and everything
seemed to show bad faith on her
part. Judge Garrison's decision,
therefore, seems only simple justice
to the present Mrs. Fralich who
seems legally and morally entitled
to come into possession of the pro-
ceeds of the estate.
Mrs. Mcbride, accompanied by
Attorney E. l.. Burton of Parsons,
Kansas, arrived on Tuesday of last
week and departed on Wednesday
afternoon. w. H. McCague is her
Barber county attorney and prob
ably did more real work in the case
than the Parsons lawyer. They
announce that they will appeal the
case to the district court and ap-
parently are confident Of succeed
ing, but on what they base this be-
lief they decline to say.
Seward |. Field and A. L. Noble
of this city are taking care of Mrs.
Fralich's interests AMI do not ap-
pear to be at all concerned over the
threatened appeal.

Kansas Richer This Year

There is $47.o52,762 worth OF
property IN Kansas that is legally
exempted from taxation. It has
been estimated that there is close
to so million dollars in property
which is not listed for taxation at
all or is under.valued so that the
state loses the taxes on at least 100
million dollars in property on
which no taxes are paid. The ex-
emptlons are those allowed the
head OF a family. This amounts
to 5000 for each person who is the
head of family. There are about
two hundred and forty thousand
families in the state that obtain
the exemptions. In addition to
this sum there is considerable ex-
emptlon allowed to each family
for Libraries and scientific books.
There are I,o42.424 horses, 1885,
I52 mules and 2,76S,o33 cattle of
all ages in the state, or this was the
number listed for taxation March I.
Butler County has the largest
number of cattle and work horses,
Jewell County has the largest num-
Der OF horses except the work ami
mails, Mitchell County has the larg-
est number of sheep and Jewell
the largest number of hogs. Reno
County has the largest amount in
vested in farm implements, Shaw
nee the largest amount in farm
wagons, Sedgwick : the largest
amount in pleasure carriges, Shaw
nee the largest sum in motor cars
and pianos. Wyandotte County
has the most wheat on hand, due
to the large elevators there.
March the people of the state
had A million dollars in cash, as
compared with 81 million dollars
a year ago. In mortgages they
own 81 million dollars worth this
year, as compared with AZ millions
a year ago. Farm property bears
48.211 per cent of the tax burden
of the state. This was decreased
slightly from last year and the
personal property burden was in
creased to 2o.o88 per cent. There
was also slight increase in the
burden of taxes assessed against the
public service corporations.

Leans Defeat Fats

The leans defeated the fats in-the
base ball game Tuesday of last
week. Both, sides got about all
they wanted in four innings but a
small cloud and very light sprink-
lie gave them good excuse to
quit, therefore it is good form to
say that the game was interrupted
by a dashing rain.
To use an awkward and homely
expression, ''it was voted" that the
leans defeated the fats in a score of
10 to s although the official score
keeper is non est inventus. The
fats, however, admit their defeat
and there is no controversy. The
special features of the game not
ed by an eye witness, are published
in another column. The players
were as follows:

Accident at Anthony Fair

The 2:I7 pacing race of Tuesday
was marred by a bad accident oc-
curing in the second heat. The
horses had gone around once and
were we'll on the second lap, and
at the west part of the track when
one of the horses, Rhodes, owned
and driven by Vennum of Anthony,
stumbled and fell to its knees.
Other horses were just behind and
went into the mix-up, three horses
and Sulkies going down in a heap.
1t was an awful moment and the
crowd in the grandstand shuddered
and was still. Some of the horses
lay quiet for a little while and it
was thought they might be dead
and that the drivers were also dead.
A crowd of tenders and spectators
rushed to the spot and united the
terrible knot of human and horse
flesh. Three of the horses, Foot
Star, Harry Bowere and Melba, were
drawn because of injuries received.
All the drivers, save one escaped
with slight bruises and scars. Dill
lenbeck, driver of Mebla, was badly
hurt and had to be taken to hos.
pital. While no bones seem to be
broken he was injured about the
face and breast and there may be
some internal trouble. He is at
the Cleveland.Mills sanitarium
and receiving every attention. 1t
seems a miracle that some of the
drivers were not killed.-Anthony

Bygone Days

l should like to know how many
of the old residents of the county
remember the first session of court
held here and also the county COM
missionerS meeting preceding it,
and the guards that were posted
on the street at the time. One
stood in front of the small build
ing that stood where the brick are
being unloaded for a new two
story building now. This guard
had a peculiar looking rifle. He
said it was "Chase To- rifle.
During court the upper floor of
the old log hotel was covered with
beds and >even then Father and
Mother Updegraf did not have
near sufficient bed room for their
boarders. Is there anyone who re-
members the organization of a
company to hang May Bowless,
chairman of the board of county
commissioners? Do you remember
the old we'll that many of us sat by
and drank from that used to be in
the street In front of where the
postofhce now is?
The Judge who presided at the
first term of court here was Judge
Brown. J.V. F.

An Early Day Reminiscence

"We notice in the Kansas CITY
Star of Sunday that the annual
convention of the Christian church
es of Jackson county, is on at Blue
Springs. Two former Medicine
Lodge ministers are prominent in
the convention, Lee H Barnum and
w. H. Embry. The latter will be
remembered as the early day min
lister whose burro was executed by
hanging on Elm Creek brid ye.
Col. Bill Horn was said to have
been the executioner.
The above, which we clip from
the Barber County Index, interests
US only in its reference to the exc
cution of the burro.
The tragedy occurred in the sum.
mer of 1888, during the session of
the Barber county teachers insti-
tute, when Harry Lands, ex-war-
den of the Kansas penitentiary,
was county superintendent.
The editor of the Record attend
ed the institute and boarded at
Mrs. McKinney's in Medicine
Lodge, with Luther Martin and
two other teachers. The parsons
burro was picketed on some vacant
lots in front of our boarding place.
The burro was of the masculine
persuasion and braying bounteously
throughout the Silly night. At
the end of the first week we moved
our boarding place to the opposite
side of the city, as we were not fond
of music anyhow. About the mid
die of the next week, something
happened. The burro was found
one morning hanging from the Elm
Creek bridge, a few rods away, by
his own picket rope.
The boys of the institute unani-
mously agreed that it was case
of justihable homicide, and the
lynchers were never apprehended.
We always accused Luther Mar.
tin, who was afterwards county
attorney of Woods county, of hav-
ing inside information concerning
the affair, but he always declared
that he could prove an alibi, which
we never required him to do. At
this time Jerry Simpson was living
quietly on his farm near Medicine
Lodge, unknown to fame, and
Chester |. Long and Tom McNeal
were struggling young lawyers,
scarcely known outside of the linn
its of the classic old town.
We believe that Reverend Embry
was succeeded as pastor of the
Christian church at Medicine Lodge
by Elder David Nation, the hus-
band of the now famous Carrie; at
any rate we know that Mrs. Nation
attended the entire session of the
teachers institute the following
summer, and that Elder Nation
was then pastor of the church,

Barber's Population Increases

Secretary Coburn's report on the
population of Kansas for 1900
shows an increase in the state of
25,46o. Sedgwick county has the
largest per cent of increase, Conan
che county, second, and Barber
county third. Barber countv's in

Odds and Ends

he people OF China are being
ruled by an emperor three years
old. Some of the laws enacted by
recent sessions of the Kansas legis.
lature have all the appearance OF
having been conceived by small
boys even younger than three years,
Don't be too harsh with the 3 year
old boys.
In the United States women pos
seSS suffrage upon equal terms with
men at all elections in four states:
In Wyoming, since 1869; in Colo
rado, since 1893; in Utah since 1896,
and in Idaho, since 1896. Women
in Kansas who can't possibly wait
for that auspicious day to dawn
here can crafty their ambition by
migrating to any of those states.
The republican senators who
voted against the tariff hold-up
were Bristow, Clapp, Cummins
Dolliver, LaFollette, Beveridge
and Nelson. There is no question
about their voting right, but it will
be hard for party suckers to figure
it,out that the republican senators
and representatives who voted for
the e-robbery were just as right.
And the political fakir continues
to be happy.
New definition for the word, hos
pital: A hospital is a place ce-
signed to separate the sick from
their money. Things generally
look nice in hospital but patients
should not expect any attention
there unless their friends go with
them and attend them, although
the hospital owners are paid to
furnish nurses. Hospital doctors
are not supposed to treat sick peo-
pie. Their business is to cut and
slash. If they can't do this they
lose interest in the patient. Brief
ly summed up, therefore, a hospi-
tai is a place without human sym.
pathy or kindness.
1t IS the custom in this glorious
country of ours, when a girl of bad
reputation comes to town, for the
entire population to lambast the
poor, unfortunate girl and excuse
the other individual who is equally
deep in disgrace A case in point
occurred here last week when two
demons, who have the shapes of
men but have lost all of the i'm
pulses of humanity, came to town
from somewhere accompanied by
female characters who were doubt
less very low, though not nearly as
low as their male escorts. They
were endured in the town from
Sunday until Thursday when they
were ordered to depart. Our idea
of the proper punishment of such a
quartet would be to put the ignor
ant girls IN a rescue home and as.
sign the male brutes to the coal
mines of the state penitentiary foI
life. There is hope for the girls
but the men have become such a
low type of animal life that there
is no chance for redemption.
