WIFE BLACKBALLED: MEN FIGHT
Now Court Will Settle Farmers Union
Meeting Fuss.

Grinneu, June 6.-With his wife
holding a lantern so her spouse could
see in the dark night, ]. w. Laurence
whipped Jeff Robinson in a most de-
cisive manner at the close of a Farm
ers' Union meeting at the Cakes school
house, northeast of Grinnell.
That was over six weeks ago, nut
now a warrant asking that Laurence
be placed under a bond to keep the
peace has been secured.
The Farmers Union decided to ad-
NIT the women as members and Laur-
ence proposed his wifes name. When
the vote was taken it was discovered
that she had been blackballed. When
the meeting adjourned Robinson and
Laurence exchanged a few heated
words and Laurence decided to
ayenge what he construed as an IN
suit to his wife. Robinson went to
the ground three times, so witnesses
saw. but rose each time, till the hus7
band shot one to his jaw that put him
down for the count. 1t is said Laur-
ence invited any one else who needed
anv of the big medicine to step out
into the lantern light, but no one re-
soouding. he and his wife went home
and have been pursuing the even ten
or of their ways till the sheriff came.
Neighbors say Laurence is good

GIRL WINS MUSICIANS PRAISE
Bethany Student Is COmpIimented on
Sonata Composed by Her.

Lindsborg, Kan. June ct has been
several years since Bethany college
had a student whose work as a com
poser O. music has been of a suffi-
GENTLY high character to receive ia
vorable comment from the faculty I'M
til this year. Mrs. Elizabeth Gilmore
Fullen, student of the conservatory
and a graduate of the piano depart
ment. has composed a sonata which is
receiving high praise from the music
faculty and from every person who
has the opportunity of studying it.
The high standard of music at Beth
any makes the faculty reluctant about
accepting anything in music unless it
has unusual merit. Mrs. Fullen work
ed seven months on her sonata, and
her teachers are all proud of the effort.
By request of the faculty. Mrs. Fullen
played two movements of her sonata
at her graduation recital this week.
The sonata is composed in A major,
and has three movements; the first. al
1egro moderate; the second, adagio, and
the third. menuettO.

GIRLS WALK FOUR MILES.
PicnicI<ing i'm Hot weather with
Traction Engine TemptS Fate.

Manhattan, Kan, June 6.-Here's
to say it is new except at the state
AGRICULTURAL college. The Franklin
Literary society has been going to its
annual picnic in this fashion for sew
eral years-ever since the college re-
ceived its first traction engine.
OF course the FranklinS don't have
to go picnicking this way. They
could get motor cars or buggies, good
ness knows, but this is a novelty and
it attracts attention and the envy of
the other classes. There were three
coaches this year. You might call
them observation cars, if you please,
because there were no posts or sides
to interfere with the view.
Down the campus and out into the
country over a fine. smooth road, the
picnic train rumbled, the 22-horse-
power engine making enough noise to
let everyone know in advance that
something was coming. 1t had an
electric headlight, too, this engine, fed
from a little contraption especially at
tached. And a whistle, too, that
helped some.
The girls prepared the supper while
the boys guarded the train, some ex-
pressing fear that some smart per-
son might lope along and take it into
town. Then the traction special
started back to the college through
the drizzling night, and the engine got
stalled in the mud-the engineers
fault. not the engine s-and everyone
had to walk four miles! Imagine
those girls,

walls of the Soldiers Home here are as
weak as any other obstacle to love-
And just because a man is bit wink
led after serving in the civil war
that's no sign that his heart does not
beat the faster at the advent of bit
of femininity.
That same enduring tendency to ro-
nance has taken all the young servant
girls out of the homes OF the towns
people and installed them as mattresses
in the Soldiers Home. 1t is almost I'M
possible to get competent maid IN llls

veteran, with a wink gave what ne
said was the true explanation
All ROmeos in the Home.
"Wen." he said, 1--WE wanted the girls

why, Henry, there made a mash the
first day the girls came, didn't. you
Henry? We are the Romeos of this
home. And I'll wager that in another
wear there'n be some matrimony in this
place"
whether or not the wishes of the
veterans of the home had anything to
do with the officials finally deciding to
engage young women as mattresses To
supplant the gang of 'slingers' as
tho were called, has not been learned:
At any rate, the change was made and
seemingly for the better, as the girls
wages at the end of a year hardly ex-
coed the amount represented by bro
ken dishes during the reign of the men,
For many reasons were the girls en-
gagged. any official will tell you. When
You ask the chief reason, with some
coaxing he is liable to say: Well be-
cause the boys wanted them, 1 guess.
At any rate. the girls are waiting
table for the veterans, and all are sat
isfied; the girls, because of the de-
cent wages they get and the compare
tivelv easy life; the veterans, because
they don't stop falling dishes with their
necks because the presence of the wo-
men makes things like home and be-
cause some of them, old as they are

KANsAN's MIND is GONE.
Jacob Beyler Found in Chicago Hos
pital HOpelessly Insane.

Salina, Kan, June 6.-Jacob Bey-
Ter, the Salina man who mysteriously
disappeared in Chicago ten days ago
while on his way to Bremen. Ind, to
attend his mothers funeral, was
found in the Cook county hospital,
Chicago, by Henry Payne of this city.
A week ago last Monday Mr.. Bey-
Ier's suit case was found on a street
car in Chicago, and when Beyler
could not be located it was feared
he had been murdered. The Salina
Masons. Elks, Eagles and other lodges
of which Beyler was member, noti-
searched the city in vain. Neither
could the police or detective forces of
that city find any trace of the missing
man.
Sam Beyler. brother residing in
Kansas City, wired Mr.. Payne ten days
ago to come to that city at once.
Payne is an old-time friend of the
Beyler brothers and he was requested
to go to Chicago and take up the
search, and to spare neither trouole
nor expense to find the missing man.
Mr.. Payne visited all the police
stations and hospitals and carefully
examined their records back to the
date of Beyler's disappearance Bey-
ler's name did not appear on the reg
lister of any of them, but finally on the
register of the Cook county hospital
he found the name &C. NJ. Byers." He
was told that "ByerS' was not the man
he was looking for but he insisted up
on being shown to the ward occupied
by "Byers' and there he found his
missing friend-but in a most pitiful
condition.
Mr. Payne has returned and he says
that Beyler's mind is almost COM
plete blank. He had been in the hos
pital week, but did not know where
he was or how he got there. His
condition was such that he could not
be moved, so Mr.. Payne notified his
relatives and friends and then left for
home.

SQUIRRELS EAT PHONE CABLE
Bell Company Receives Many Chicks"
on Service as Result.

Ottawa, Kan, June 6.-Squirrels
with an appetite for cable and a tend
ency to butt in on private telephone
conversations, put a whole flock Of
Bell phones out of commission here
by breakfasting on the lead covering
of the company's wire and dining off
the paraff1ne coating of the wires
within.
Laugh if you want to, but it's a SOL
emn fact.
When it began to sound like sew
ing circle every time, some of the Bell
subscribers took down their receivers,
the kicks began to come into head
quarters and the line men started out
to see what was up. They followed
all the ordinary clews and finally came
to the big cable. There they found a
dozen or more holes gnawed in the
heavy lead covering of the cable, and
the paraffine insulation inside was
Tapped up.
The theory of the phone men is that
the squirrels gnaw on the cable in
order to sharpen their teeth, and that
when they wear through to the paraf-
fine they like the taste and lick it up
as a palatable morseI

FARMER FAILS IN BEE FIGHT.
Doctor Called for Man Who Is Stung
Until He Paints.

Lincoln, Kan. June 6.-A hard
fight with bees furnished excitement
for this city. T. E. Holt, a bee raiser,
was trying to settle swarm of bees
and notwithstanding the usual netting
and gloves he was stung by SO many
of the bees that he tainted from the
pain and it was necessary to carry
him to the house on a stretcher, the
rescuers getting badly punished also.
DR.. O'Donnel1 was called and came in
his motor car, but he arrived before
the bees were entirely out of their
fighting mood. The doctor and his
chauffeur, Jack O'Donnell, a nephew,
were stung several times before they
could leave the machine. After treat
ing Mr.. Holt and getting him out of
his faint and fairly comfortable, the
doctor and his nephew started back to
the city, both covered with nets and
their hands incased in ee-handling
gloves. Both were stung frequently,
one bee getting under the doctors net
and singing him severely.

fighter and a member of the Mabray

tiary to serve the remainder of his SEN

Mccoy showed the encouragement
he felt at having to return when he
walked through the gates of the
prison. Before he had 'Jollied" the
guards and apparently thought little
of having to spend two years in prison
1t was different this time. He
walked through the gates with his
head down and had nothing to say.
Once when the guard directed him up
stairs to the record clerks office he
half smiled and said he remembered
