Telephone Companies Want Edison to

A special meeting of the county
commissioners was held today for the
purpose of arranging with the Edison
Light company and the Independent
and Bell Telephone companies to have
the new electric wires to the colored
industrial school, east of the city, fol-
low separate right of way
The telephone companies urged
that the Edison people build their line
along some other route than the Sixth
street extension on the ground that
I high voltage wires for the new lighting
system at the colored institute might
come in contact with the telephone
wires and be extremely dangerous to
their subscribers.
The route proposed for the Edison
people follows Sixth street to Gold en-
avenue and then turns to Seventh
street, continuing out the same To

THEN THEY WERE WE'D.
Judge Carver Presides Over an I'M
promptu Ceremony.

Judge Robert Carver of the court CT
| Topeka made his debut as the agent
( of Dan Cupid at 10 O'Clock this morn
| ing. Many of the high officials Of
| Shawnee county were present in the
| judges chambers where the marriage
ceremony was performed. This fact
did not serve to ease the ordeal for
the officiating link maker and lse tried
to tie a double knot with his victims'
four hands.
Lesley Spiker. a youth of 10 and son
of prominent family of near Llrnoat,
was the unwilling bridegroom ana he
sweat drops of blood as he was showed
onto the altar of love. He did not wear
the conventional black but a suit nf
faded green. His face was not shaved:
his hair was long and parted in the
middle. His tan shoes knew no polish
and his bOiSterOus socks were not such
as one might wear to his wedding. He
was most unhappy groom-and looked
it. He was not altogether to blame for
! his appearance however, for Henry
Bayliss. under sheriff, is sadly deficient
in the role of valet. The bov had
spent his last day of freedom in the
county Jail. To him that seemed free
dom, indeed.
The bride was Lottie McFarran.
formerly of Shorey but whose home
has since changed to a farm near
Perry. She was an attractive looking
girl of 16 summers with great brown
eyes and jet black hair. She was
slender and tastily dressed in pink
and white gown with a suggested mob
Bile. Her hat was a, plain straw with a
plain band. There was nothing ex-
pensive about her trousseau bu- she
had had day to prepare for her mar
riage. No indication Of her feelings IN
the affair could be discerned. Ap-
parently she had been steeled to the
occasion by months of anguish
AS the bride and groom were Ushered
into the chambers by the matchmaker
County Attorney Ernest Simon, Raj
Lee. clerk of the court, played the
Mendelssohn on his typewriter. the
only person not on the verge of tears
seemed to be the girls mother. Mrs
Ella McFarren. She had sent deputy
sheriff to LaHarpe, Ill, during the
month of July to bring her son-1n-law
here and smiled delightedly s he WAS
dragged to his fate
The story of the sordid courtship, she
explained, began a year ago when the
McFarrens lived in Topeka and Spiker
worked here. The wedding had been
postponed from time to time by the
groom's Indifference but repeated
promises. Then he went to Illinois and
was brought back to keep these prom
ises. His father furnished bond for
him but when he was called in yestcT-
{ day and the date for the ceremony set
! for today by County Attorney Simon
and the girl's mother. it was considered
, advisable to keep him over night in
/ the county stronghold.
BY a curious coincidence the cor
! spicious emblem of a, paddock appeared
| in the center of the marriage certifi-
cate which Judge Carver drew from
! his desk. The photographer presen' ec
| two cards. which were to carry the
names of the bride and groom, and
| joined them with the lock. The thing
seemed an ill-omen but the chilli wife
seized the finished document with an
| eager hand and held it securely the
party filed from the chambers.

TWO STAMPS WORTH $4,000.
They Are said to BE the Only spcci-
mems in Existence.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-A resolution ask
ing congress to establish one-cent
postage rate for first class mail was
adopted today by the American Phil
antelic society in session here.
A committee of judges has been ap-
pointed to pass on the different eX-
hibits of stamps which are being dis
played as a feature of the convention.
One of the most interesting exhibits is
that of George Worthington of Cleve-
land, O., which is valued at $260,000-
1t contains two Mauritius stamps of
the issue of 1S47 valued at $4,000 and
said to be the only specimens in eX-
istence.
Mr. Worthington's entire collection,
of which the Chicago exhibit is part,
is said to be valued at 100000. He
employs two secretaries to look after
it and has planned a special building
in Cleveland to house it. When the
structure is completed, he will pre-
sent the collection to the city of Cleve-
land.

commissioned in the navy. The dis
placement of each is 21,S25 tons and

12-inch and 21 5-inch guns. They Will
outclass the Delaware, which excited
much admiration at the coronation of
King George Y. and the North Da-
kota, whose displacement of 10000
tons each has given them the distinc-
ton of being the biggest men of war
afioat al present under the American
flag.
No announcement has yet been made
by the navy department as to the
course it will follow in connection with
the handsome silver service, contain
ing pictures of Brigham Young. which
will be offered by citizens of Utah to
the states namesake In the navy. Nu-
merous protests against its acceptance
have been filed with the department.
It viii probably be offered shortly after
the ship is commissioned.
Secretary Meyer several months ago
informed the protesting delegation
that the department would not deter
mine the matter until the service by
its presentation came within the juris-
diction of the government.
