Erudition's Sacrifice.

'Tis sad to be so Wondrous wise
That you may not appreciate
The flower whose tints reflect the sllie:
Unless you're competent to state
The number of its petals fair
And the arrangement of its leaves
It must be classified with care
Ere wisdom true its worth perceive
In vain it lifts its radiant smile
And breathes its perfume like a sigh
is Establishments cannot beguile
The scholar who is passing by.
Small wonder that as il in pain
The blossom fades. Twas ne'er sc

BiGAMY.

Wife No. 2, Tells How Railroad
Detective Managed to De-
ceive Two Women.

KANSAS CITY, May ia tale of

sas farmer lies behind a warrant is
sued recently by Justice James B.
Shoemaker for Oliver P. Golay on

having at the time wife living in

According to Mrs. Stanberry's story
Golay is 6 feet inches tall, weighs
217 pounds and is 80 years of age
Added to this, he has a handsome
face and winning ways. He was
reared near Salina, Kas., and lived on
a farm until few years ago. His
parents were wealthy and four years
ago, Mrs. Stanberry alleges, he mar
ried Miss Lola May Fraser, daughter
of a. well-to-do widow of Salina. Two
children were born, one now and the
other years of age.

A year ago. it is claimed, he sole
his farm for $4,000 and moved to Sa-
lima. Not long afterwards he an
nounced to his wife that he had OBJ
tanned employment as detective for
the Union Pacific railway, and she
soon discovered that his work fire.
quently kept him away from home,
sometimes for weeks.
While in Kansas City last fall Golay
met Mrs Stanberry, whose vivacity
and cleverness fascinated him. Mrs.
Stanberry and her husband were di
vorced about five years ago. When
she met Golay she was travelling
trimmer for a wholesale millinery firm.
Her divorced husband, she said, came
from the family for which the town of
Stanberry, Mo, was named, and which
is still prominent in that part Of the
state
Last February Mrs. Stanberry and
Golay were married in Omaha, ac-
cording to Mrs. Stanberry's statement.
After a week he told her he must go
to Kansas on an important railway
case and. it is alleged. went to Salina
to tell wife No. L about his unaVold-
able detention on a big railway case
Part of his time Golay is said to have
passed with Mrs. Stanberry in TINS
city living at the Orient hotel, and
part in Salina with his first wife and
their children.

ROBBED OF WATCH
Is Wade Wolfe, of Mt. Glare,
BY Highwaymen at
Night Here.

Wade Wolfe, of Mt. Clare, was the
victim Monday night Of highway
robbers. Wolfe was enroute to the
Capitol hotel from the central part
OF the city to stay all night. When
he awoke Tuesday morning he found
a new gold watch gone,
Wolfe states that on the way to
the hotel he met two men, who asked
him to show them the town. One
of them became quite affectionate
placing an arm around him. Wolfe
told them they had approached the
wrong man and they permitted him
to proceed on the way to the hotel,
He thought no more of the incident
until he arose Tuesday morning and
found that he had been divested of
his watch. The supposition is the
watch was taken at the time the man
placed his arm around him. Wolfe
is on futile search for the watch.
