BAD WEATHER FOR WEDDINGS
Records Show Decided slump in
Topeka.

Dan Cupid has probably gone on a
vacation and the marriage record in
Shawnee county has shown a decided
slump in tie last few weeks. In three
dsvs this week, just one license was
issued by !he probate court.
People who watch the matrimonial
record say it is the hot weather. Dams
business is always slow in July and
August and this year the probate court
and the Topeka preachers have suffer
ed more than usual. Not for six weeks,
it is said, viii the matrimonial affairs
become normal.
In the meantime, the hot weather
has stirred up domestic strife and the
petitions for divorce outnumber the
marriage record. Almost every day
from one to four Shawnee county fam
lies drag their troubles to the court
of justice, while there seems to be a
general pOstponement of matrimonial
plans.
This fall. it is claimed, people will be
buster, will forget their sorrows and
troubles and complaints and there VIII
be a drop in the number of divorce
petitions. At the same time, when bus
mess activity revives, people will make
plans for tie future-aEd some of these
plans viii include life contracts. Then
it is-and not till then-that Dan Cupid
viii be found on the job in the probate
court six days in the week

MUST LEARN TO SHOOT.
Dummy Prisoners to Be Used as Tar
gets at Leavenworth.


Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 2.-Guards
at the federal prison will have to learn
how to shoot. if plans of the authori-
ties are carried into effect. 1t is ex-
pected an order will be issued this
week closing the workshops Saturday
afternoons and sending officers and
guards to the new target range, near
the quarry.
Many of the officers and guards are
unfamiliar with the handling of fire
arms and it is the intention of Attor-
ney General Wickersham that each
become an expert shot, if practice can
make him one. The plans call for
both revolver and rife practice, tar
gets to be moving dummy convicts.
This system has been in vogue at
the Atlanta federal prison for some
time and has the approval of the attor-
ney general It is believed that if the
prisoners are aware that guards and
officers are proficient with the gun,
there will be less danger of mutiny in
the future

ARCHER CASE GOES OVER.
Claimed That Evidence Is Not Suffi-
cient to Hold Him.

Following the Introduction of the
states testimony in the preliminary
hearing of Harry Archer, charged
with the murder of William Murphy,
a continuance in the case was granted
by Judge Carver until 9 O'Clock Mon
day morning. This was allowed by
the court to enable the defense to
prepare arguments in support of a
demurrer to the states evidence.
Attorneys for the state sprung a
surprise at the morning session when
they suddenly announced that they
had made their case so far as the pre-
l1minary was concerned Several of
their more important witnesses had
not gone to the stand. These were
withheld in order to prevent a miS-up
in the testimony at the trial in the
district court.
The few witnesses used told merely
of the manner in which Murphy had
been shot by Archer and of his death.

the defense interposed a demurrer to
the evidence and asked for a special

court next Monday
