far off points who apparently had no
concern for superstitions.
The we'll dressed groom, Ernest w.
Cox of Los Angeles, Cal, met his bride,
Miss Irene S. Perkins of Norwalk. O.,
in Topeka today. The state house
seemed to be the biggest thing in
town and they first went there think
ing that must be the place for them,
but they finally found Judge Schoch
in his office in the court house and
were we'll received.
Unruffled by the rain, the groom de-
scended the court house steps with his
arm around the bride. Rude watchers
laughed, but the care free newly

HAYS WILL HAVE SEWERS.
Fort Scott Company Will Put in a
Complete System.

Hays City, Kan, May Grant
Hornaday of Fort Scott has captured
for his company, the Midland Con-
struction company of which he is the
president, a contract for 100000 to
put down through the streets and al
leys of this city a complete system of
sewerage, the work to commence with
in 80 days Ind be completed before
election day. There were five bid
ders.
The city now has electric lights,
telephone and waterworks systems, the
Western State Normal school and the
big state experiment station.
But the serious part of this con-
tract comes in the news that Hornaday
is to come out here himself and look
after putting in the system. AS this
is the only simon pure Democratic
county in the state, it is feared that
Hornaday may have every Democrat
and doubtful Republican working on
the sewer system through July and
until after the August primary and
may swing that county to some Re
publican friend he may have running
for governor.

the state and has a reputation as a

whenever he may be found. He has
held the state championship for three
years and was only beaten by three tar

state championship were announced.
Another Kansas man who will go
with the team is Ed O'Rrien, a pro-
fessional of Florence, who will accom-
pany the team as an instructor, or
coach. He will be assisted by Fred Gill

work. One gang Of Greeks quit yes
terday because it was proposed to d.
vide the force. Owing to the machin-
