SAYS HE FENCED LAND.
Farmer Tower Arrested by Members
of SherifR's Force.

p o. Tower, an eastern farmer with
the alleged short grass habit of fencing
up what land he needs, was called to
task by the sheriff last night and
placed under a 500 bond. Meanwhile
the road overseer to tear the fence out.
Tower purchased a farm just south
of town lying along the Kansas avenue
road. The road has had its present
course for about 40 years but Tower
seems to have found shat the road en-
croaches on his farm. He has suit
pending to determine whether that is
so or not. A lawsuit is a slow thing,
however, so Mr.. Tower used the early
day method of fencing, running fence
down the middle of the road. This was
held as endangering the lives of travel
ers by County Attorney Schenck and a
warrant issued The attorney ordered
the road overseer to tear the fenct out.
Tower has made an agreement not to
rebuild it and it is likely his case will
be dismissed this evening.

sponded and saved the ties.
Last evening at 1880, the one-story
frame dwelling owned and occupied by
William Mallory, at 400 Van Buren,
street, took fire. A clothes closet was
burning f1ercely when the fire COM
panies arrived. The bed room was
scorched slightly apd the loss will

discovered in a small barn. 1917 Clay
street. owned by ]. r. Moneypenny. 1t
was caused by a spreading bonfire.
Damage was very sTnall-about 81 .65.
While the noon whistles and bells
were sounding quitting time over the

IS SHE REALLY HIS WIFE
Woman Arrested With Counterfeiters
In Doubt About Marriage.

Not knowing whether she is mar
ried to the last and third man with
whom she went through the marriage
service, Mrs. Emily Smalley, the wom-
an arrested with the Wichita Hutchin-
son counterfefters, says she is waiting
and that if the man returns she will
live with him. Such was her state
ment to Charles Briggs, assistant
United States district attorney, who
returned last night from Wichita
where he represented the government
in the preliminary hearing against the
counterfeiters. Seven counterfeiters
and their associates were bound over
to await the action of the grand jury.
Mr.. Briggs declares the woman to
be the most abandoned woman he ever
met in connection with his duties as
legal representative of the federal gov
ernment. She was housekeeper for the
Hageman brothers, at whose home
most of the work is alleged to have
been done. The Hagemans were
scavengers at the Hutchinson stock
yards and are declared to be a bad
lot. Petty tnieving, bootlegging and
other charges are laid up against them.
The woman will not say a word

commensurate in strength with
Great Britain and France. This
is one of the pricipaI conclusions ex-
pressed in the report of the American
committee to Liberia Transmitted to
congress today by President Taft with
a special message.
After reviewing the internal dangers
which threaten Liberia as well as those
crowding from the outside, the COM
mission has made the following recon-
mendations:
THAT the United States extend its
aid to Liberia in the prompt settlement
of her boundary disputes.
2-That the United States enable Ii
IBERIA to refund its debt by assuming
as guarantee for the payment of OBJ
legations under such an arrangement,
the control and collection of Liberian
customs.
3-That the United States lend its
assistance to the reform of the internal
finances.
4-That this nation aid in organizing
and drilling a competent constabulary
OF frontier police.
5-That the United States establish
and maintain a reserach station there
6-That the United States reopen the
question of establishing a naval coaling
station in Liberia.

about the counterfeiting charge. The
men, when they learned they were to
be bound over. began at once to make
arrangements to plead guilty and dis
cussed, with more or less freedom,
their work as counterfeiters. But the
woman would not talk of it.
The dies and moulos at the Hage-
man place were of the best. according
to Mr.. Briggs. but were incomplete.
For instance there was nothing to put
the rough edge on the dollar This
was done with q knife. and was a crude
job. The metal was bad, exceptionally
so. Hundreds of dollars of the queer
have been passed upon people as a
result of the Hutchinson manufacture
ing concern, one man having passed,
according to the knowledge of the Of
ficers, $3.50 worth. The money was
made by Warner and was sold by him
for % cents on the dollar.

Calling Card Styles.

To possess always visiting cards OF cor
rect size and quality requires close OBJ
servation, for SO slight is the difference
from season to season that a woman
who is Indifferent to such matters may
easily continue to use the same she Or
dered three or four years ago. This
spring, for instance, visiting cards have
undergone a trifling change and are the
merest shade smaller than those which
were the ne plus ultra last winter. This
difference is noticeable in mems cards,
which have shrunk about one-half an
inch in width. At present they are a
fraction under three inches long and one
and one-half inches wide. Anything
larger than that for a man should be
avoided.
Cards for married women are almost
square, being three by two inches. Paste
boards bearing the names Of both Mr.
and Mrs. are half an inch larger each
way the proportion remaining the same

thickness. without being actually stiff. 1t
is pasteboard, however, and not bits Of
paper.
Old-fashioned script has been super
seeded by old English and block. The
script is permissible now only for elderly
women. the theory being that they prefer
to continue with that to which they are
accustomed.
The two styles now in vogue are more
expensive than the script, and English
costs little more than block. For that
reason it is not used as much, and is more
elegant.
An address Of some kind should always
be in the lower left-hand corner, save
when the day also is used. In the latter
case the address should be placed in the
right corner, the other being used for the
day.

and all her friends know the exact spot
where her house is located an address is
still imperative. This is obvious when one
remembers that women go away to visit.

discover that green striped seersucker
for hangings, bedspreads, etc, is smart

hard to find. Moreover. this fabric does
