Tells of His Romance.
The expression on the young hus-
bands face changed quickly and often
as he told of the little romance that
had led up to the marriage. Dobson
and Miss Taylor had known each other
Tor more than a year. The two had
gone together up until the time the
girl moved to Kansas City, last De
cember- Since that time they have
written to each other Tuesday Miss
Taylor came to Hutchinson from Kan
sas City and went to the Dobson home.
Arrangements were made for the mar
riage and the license was secured.
Everything went smoothly until the
wedding when in the excitement of
tying the nuptial knot at the probate
judges Office, the bridegroom swoon-
ed in the arms of the bride. She was
surprised and shocked, and leaving
word for those who were attending
her husband to tell him to join her
later, she left the court house. When
Dobson recovered from his faint he
was told of his wifes message and
parents at GIG Second east. Here he
was told that his wife had not been
seen. Dobson Immediately made a
search at all the hotels in the city and
returned to the home of his wife's par
ents for a possible clue

He was told that the girl had pack

Sitting Hen Is a Heroine.

A hen owned by Fred Dennis, son of
Robert T. Dennis, of Ossining, N. Y,
showed remarkable devotion to duty
yesterday morning, when a heavy
washout carried her coop from Dennis
yard down an embankment.
The hen was sitting on fifteen eggs
and stuck to her post. When Dennis
reached the wreck he found a bowlder
within inches of her head. With a
croWbar he pried away the rock. Ehe
hen never stirred. Dennis believes
such devotion will be rewarded and
that the hen will hatch out a full quota
of chickens. AS her danger from the
bowlder may have impressed the hen
deeply, Dennis wonders if the chickens
will be Plymouth Rocks-New York

His death was due to pleurisy, COM
blEed with the weakness of his ad-
vanced age. He had been i'll for pc
Rod of a month and although he had
been remarkably active for his years
up until this time, his condition be-

to retire from the practice of medi-
cine and moved to a ranch near o.
kaloosa, but repeated calls from the
residents of the district drew him back
into his pr pfession.
While a resident of Jefferson county,
he was elected several times to serve
in the state legislature as representa-
tiv and senator. In 1879 he came to
Topeka and formed a partnership with
DR.. D. w. Stormont and had offices at
204 Kansas avenue.
Five years later he was chosen head
of the Santa F7e medical department
and organized the hospital system of
that system and was instrumental in
securing the general hospital for To-
peka. where he was the chief surgeon
for a period of 15 years.
DR. HogebOom was born in Fulton
county, New York, December 8. 1892.
He studied medicine at the Berkshire,
Massachusetts Medical college and
graduated at the age of p. He began

DRAGGED HIM FROM RIVER.

An insane foreigner giving the name
of p. A. Pondo. was rescued from the
chill waters of the Kaw Saturday even
ing after forcing Chief of Police Jen-
kins and Detectives Voiles and An

water chasing him. 1t took the officers
an hour to get their man to land and
all were muddy and wet and cold before
the crazy man gave up his fight.
When the officers, answering a tele-
phone summons, reached the river
bank, Pondo was wading the river.
They pleaded with him to come out but
he lent no ear. Then they tried to
brighten him out by shooting their re-
voivers but he only invited them to
keep on with their practice A boat

of predictions of better weather in the
northwest tended today to make the bulls
in wheat lose heart. World shipments
were larger than expected. The selling
side displayed caution because of reports
that Russia was negotiating with Turkey
regarding the Iatter's alleged intention to
declare grain contraband of war Such
action on the part of OttOmanS would par
alyze the Russian export business. Trad
erss however, gave their attention mainly
to the probable general resumption of

The opening was 1sc lower to 3sc up. De-
cember started at 9712c to 97zzc, the same
difference from Saturday night the
market taken altogether. A decline to
97ssc followed
by a leading house brought about a re-
covery but the effect did not last, the mar
ket sinking because of big visible supply.
The close, however was firm with De-
cember 972zc. a net gain of sc.

Increasing offers from the country led
to additional weakness. The close was
steady, though at 641sc for December, a
net loss of 1s1Ac.
OATS-It was purely a local trade in
oats. The market was inclined to sag
with wheat and corn. December started
a shade off at 471kc and did not display
much power to rally
With the average weight of hogs the

were unchanged to 10c higher with Janu-

lard and $500 for ribs.

STAMP HOG CHOLERA.
j. H. Mercer, Live Stock Commission.
er, Gives Advice to Farmers.

J. H. Mercer, state live stock and
sanitary commissioner, is deeply inter-
ested in that part of his work pertain
in to the stamping out of hogecholera in
the state. The serum cure that was
started a. year OF more ago has proved
successful and the serum department
at the Agricultural college is an i'm
portant branch now of that institution.
Mr.. Mercer, however, declared today
that in order that the serum cure
might have chance to do general
good the stock raisers and farmers
must help by keeping their feed lots
and pens clean and sanitary. Speak
ing further on the subject, the COM
missioner said:
1.-The eradication of hog cholera is
comparatively in it's beginning. as
there has been but little effort made on
the part of the state or any of the otn-
er hog producing states until within
the past year or two to eliminate the
disease. 1t is a big proposition to deal
with 1t seems to be more of an cpl
demic this year than usual OF course,
heretofore, no department in the state
had any knowledge as to the extent of
the disease. Any contagious disease
that there is not an effort made to stop
its spread or clean up, gradually in
creaseS and the farmers and hog
raisers of the state are in measure
to blame for a. considerable amount of
the trouble that now prevails, for the
reason that they have been very care
less in not disposing of the dead car
casses or using any sanitary measures
whatever in disinfecting the infected
premises In the past, no quarantine
measures have been exacted in the
handling OF the diseased hogs of the
state. for the reason that no reliable
remedy was available to handle the
proposition as it should be handled
LAS soon as we have a sufficient
amount of the anti-hog cholera serum

But Anderson held on and effected

Pondo has been given over to the

Miss Virginia DOggett, TOpeka'S Guest
Recently, Receivers Her Property.
Chanute, Kan, Oct 9.=The suit
case which was lost by Miss Virginia
Doggett just as she was starting on
the trip she made to Topeka recently,
when she went to that city as one of
the five young ladies selected in the
Booster clubs pretty girl contest, has
been found. Miss Doggett after her
return to lola wrote to Charles Whar-
ton, a Pullman conductor, asking him
to look for the suit case. Mr. Wharf
on found the suit case in the check
room at the depot.
Now, the question is, how did it get
there?
AS the suit case was in the check
room at Kansas City it had evidently
been checked through, which implies
that the person who checked it had a
ticket to Kansas City. Now, who was
the person. And why did he take
the suit case? And why did he leave it
in the check room?

Salina, Kan, Oct. 9.-Dr. E. 3. Dill
lard, superintendent of the Salina dis
trict Chidren's Home Finding society,
has been given the power by Judge
Ruppenthal to intercept Mrs. Pearl
Trexel and daughter and take the
child from the mother.
Mrs. TBexel lives at Lucas. Some
time ago she brought suit against her
husband for divorce alleging that the
husband, at the point of a revolver,
forced her to sell her person to other
men and turn over the money to him.
Judge Ruppenthal held that neither
father or mother was a fit person to
have the child.
He took the child as a ward of the
court but until he could find the child
a home. he allowed it to remain with
the mother, enjoining her from taking
the child from home. The child is 3
years Old
Now it is learned that the mother
has fled with the child.
