Popular Magazine: The young man was told that the ranches of the West were fine places in which alec hol and rum could be worked out or the human system. He journeyed forth. and accosted a ranch owner with this:
 I'm the swiftest fellow you ever saw. I was known as the swittest thing on Broadway Give me Job
 The ranch owner looked him over had a it of mysteries and decided to get rid of him by giving him JoD big enough to kill him.

 Republican senators are in open revolt over the Canadian reciprocity measure, and are threatening to join with the democrats in an effort 70 pull down the entire protective struc- ture. But talk is cheap. even in the United States senate. and leyel-head- ed men do not usually sacrifice prin- ciple in the appeasement of spite. These recalcitrant republican sena- tors win be just as loyal 10 their party and its protective principles when the reciprocity measure Is passed as they were before.

GLOBES BRIGHT FUTURE.
lDaiIy Globel


 The Daily Globe has never believ- ed in trying to create an air or feel ing of false prosperity, but it has every reason to believe that the out look for the Globe district and par dcularly the City of Globe is bright CT at this time than it has been for several years. There is every indication that the end of summer will see Globe in better condition in dustrially than it has ever been; and this means that business in all branches will flourish in unprece. dented prosperity.
 The movement toward better con. ditions has already begun. From au. thentic sources, it is learned that the Old Dominion company's payroll is heavier at this time than it has been for over a year. It is very probable that this company will spend about a half million in new construction work before the begin ming of the fall months Report. from the eastern offices of the co pany show that even with the con paratively low price of copper tL, old Dominion is earning more than ever before in its history. | The future looks bright for Gloss and the pessimist of today vii greatly wonder in the months tc come. why he could not foresee tho inevitable.

A NEW ORATOR.

1t is the habit of some of those who decry the present and point to the good old days" to lament the passing Of the orator. We have no more Henrys, or Clays, or Websters. These materialistic times have starv- ed out their species and the feeble efforts of the Chautauqua circuits to breed another race of spellbinders only make conspicuous our forensic .degeneracy. So think the pessimists.
 But let them take heart, says the Los Angeles Herald A flash O. genius the other day in the house .of representatives gives hope that the prestige of our beloved country may not be hopelessly lost Hon. H. Robert Fowler of Illinois made his maiden speech Note the beauty and profundity of this statesman $ diction and thought and answer us if the caviler has not been too hasty 1 in assuming that the orator has gone the way of the dodo and dipiodocus. Speaking on the right of Arizona to statehood Mir. Fowler delivered this gem of forensic beauty and con vincing logic:
 T believe, Mir. Chairman, that that sacred emblem. which was first un furied to the breezes of heaven or tue banks of the beautiful Brandy wine. and which lowered over the bloody tracks of barefoot soldiers from Valley Forge to Yorktown, il order to witness the palsied hand O imperial power surrender the scep ter of authority to the hand of lib Ierty: l believe, Mir. Chairman, tha that flag. which was with Jackson at New Orleans and witnessed Pack lenham's legions vanish like thu
 "children of the mist" and mad, us mistress of the high seas; I be llieve that that flag. which sealed thu
 walls of MonteEuma and forced Mex lico to acknowledge our territoria rights: l believe that that flag, wi1ici trailed through blood from Bull Rul to AppomattoK, tore off the mask O slavery has ample virtue in iti folds to lift the heavy hand of op lpression from the heads of the op pressed in every country and fl every cline"

PUBLIC DRINklNG-cuP IS RAPIDLY PASSING.


 The cup of death" is rather grue somely pictured in the Cup-Cam- paigner as a skull. with its top saw ed off as in autopsies. a handle fast ened to the occipUt, a chain attach ed the handle. the other end being fastened to a drinking fountain. A campaign against the public cup is now being conducted throughout the union. Several states have already taken action, Kansas being the first to abolish the common drinking-cup; Michigan, Wisconsin. Mississippi, New Jersey and New York, however, have fallen in line. Pennsylvania, through the secretary of her state board of health. warns her people that the cup used in common in public places must inevitably be the constant medium Of communication of diseases such as tuberculosis, diph- theria and other infections" In Hi Aois 1t is declared by the American Medical Journal that the public drinkng-cup is as antiquated as the ducking stool and the inquisition; people never think of eating from public plates or wearing public clothes or smoking public cigars.
 Illinois has just passed a bill abolishing the use of the public drinking cup. Chicago, through its health department supported by the newspapers. has waged an active campaign against it. The city bacteri- o!ugists have collected drinking-cGps from various school buildings, hotels. railway stations and stores in the city of Chicago and have made micro sco,lc examinations and bacterial cui- tures from these cups The most frequent varieties of germs found are various pus germs, also, speci- mens of pneumonia and diphtheria hscciiu have been found Guinea pigs have been inoculated with these cultures and the results of these tests, according to the city bacteriol- ogists, prove the deadly nature oi these bacteria All the pigs inoculat- ed with the bacteria of the pus in- factions developed fatal abscesses. The tests with the diphtheria culture were also positive. as proved by the occurrence of the disease.
 In Connecticut, as also in other states, private banking houses, hotel managers, department stores and other corporations are cooperating with the health authorities for the protection of their employees and their patrons and for the instaila. ton of the bubbling drinking foun- tzins in railway trains and stations, in parks and other places. Many efties are moving iA the same direc- ton. New York City. after October [. will make Illegal the use of the public drinking cup in any public institution, hotel, theater, factory, hall school, railway station or ferry house; already some of the public schools of New York City have been equipped with a jet apparatus, SO arranged that the ehild's lips do not touch any part of the machinery.

No dis turbance is reported from any To- cality. except the reports regarding restlessness among the Yaqui In diaDs, who have made demand that the lands which they were deprived of by those in charge of the govern ment under President Diaz, be re-

CAN NOT MARRY IN KANSAS.
Aunt Who Wishes to Wed Nephew
Must Move On.

From Yarrow, Mo-, comes an anx-
ious communication from Ina Atte-
berry-evidently much in love-who
wants to marry under the Kansas stat
utes if possible. In her letter lima
states the case thus: Can a half
aunt marry half nephew in Topeka %
Judge SchOch replies, 'fShe can not -
So lima must go elsewhere.
1t is one of the inevitable, heartless
ano crushing processes of legal ma
chlnery that says lima Atteberry can
not marry the man she loves-al-
though they are a bit related. A few
days ago a similar letter was received
b. Judge Schoch from an anxious man
in Springfield, Mo. Perhaps ne is the
anxious prospective bridegroom.
In almost every state the marriage
and divorce laws are a bit different
Consequently when a simon pure love
affair breaks out in a community, the
laws of the state seldom stop the pro-
ceedingS. For this reason Ina con-
c!uded to spend her $3.50 for mar
cause the wicked old laws of Missouri
won't let her marry the man she loves
Judge Schoch looked up the statutes
and found that an aunt could not mar
ry a nephew and vice versa. But the
Kansas statutes didn't put the lid on
however, decided that the law intend
ed to go all the way. For this reason
he declined the job.
As in most every case, there is a
division of sentiment concerning mat
ters of law. Perhaps somewhere in
Kansas a probate judge may read the
session acts with an entirely different
Interpretation. Then, after arriving at
this conclusion, if the P. J. is anxious
for an increase in matrimonial bust
ness, there is a breathless, loving couple
awaiting his services. A letter to Ina
Atteberry, Yarrow, Mo-, will not only
increase the receipts of his Office $3.50,
but will enable two hearts to beat as
one in the years to come.

DELINQUENT PARENT IS FINED
David Parks Convicted for Failure to
support His Family.

The first conviction of a delinquent
parent under the vagrancy act occurred
Saturday in the court of Topeka when
David Parks was convicted for refus-
ing to provide for his family. The case
was tried several weeks ago and has
been under advisement since that time.
According to the present statutes a
husband who refuses and neglects to
provide for his family, may be pros
ecuted under a VACANCY clause. On
conviction he may be fined not to ex-
coed $500 and sentenced to the county
Jail for a term not exceeding one year.
Parks, however, being the first victim
under the act, will get the minimum
punishment. He was assessed 81 and
costs
Since the delinquent parent law went
out of business, the county attorneys
office has been forced to draw a line
betWeenDrOsecution of derelict husbands
under the vagrancy act, which makes
the offense misdemeanor; or to elect
to prosecute under the affinity" bill,
which takes the case before the district
court as a felony. Thus far no prose-
cutions of obstreperous husbands have
been tried under the felony clause

FOR CHURCH UNITY.
Three Great Branches of Methodism
Will Try to Get Together.

Chattanooga, May S.-Envoys from
the three great branches of MethoolSm
met here today to lay a foundation LOT
the unification of the divisions. Plans
for the federation begun II years ago
are shaping into complete form. me
three branches are the Methodlst
Protestant, the Methodist Episcopal
and the Methodist Episcopal church
south. The joint commission consists
of 81 members of each church, being
represented by nine commissioners and
its first session will be held to receive
and act upon the report of a subcom-
mittee which met here today.
The federal movement was begun at
the general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church south at Memphis,
Tenn. in 1894 when the commission
representing that denomination was
created. Later similar commissions
were appointed by the two other
churches and the three held meeting
at Baltimore in December, 1910. At that
time a subcommittee of three from
each commission was appointed to in
ouire into causes of the alienation of
the three branches of Methodism and
to formulate and present plan for
unification

FIRE AT CREIGHTON.
Jesuit College at Omaha Sustains
Damage of 100000.

Omaha, Neb.. May 8.-A stubborn
fire which startd in the elevator shaft
of Creighton college at o'clock this
morning did damage exceeding 100000
and will cause the suspension of class
es of 500 students in the building for
some time. Twenty-four members of
the faculty, all of whom belong to the
Jesuit order. were summarily aroused
by the alarm and appeared in their
night clothes when the firemen arrived.
The fire started on the third floor
and despite the efforts of nearly the
entire fire department was not under
control for two hours. All the mem
bers of the faculty ESCAPED injury but
one fireman. Joseph Flanagan, was
hurt by falling ceiling.
The financial loss is covered by in
surance. Creighton college was estab-
lished and is maintained by a $4,000
0OG endowment of the late Count John
A. Creighton, and is conducted by the
Jesuit order. 1t is the largest institu-
ton of the kind in the west

CIGAR STORES OPEN SUNDAY.
Dawson's Assistant had ordered Them
CIosed-Military Rule Threatened.

Pittsburg, Kan, May S.-That mill
tary rule will be established in Pitts
burg and Crawford county within the
next ten days unless the prohibitory
law is rigidly enforced by the local au-
thorities was the declaration made here
Sunday afternoon at mass meeting
by John S. Dawson, attorney general.
81 have the assurance of Governor
Stubs that the militia will be sent into
this county at my request if I believe
such drastic action is necessary for the
strict carrying out of my orders" Cen
eraI Dawson said. 'And 1 want to as
sure the people of Pittsburg and Craw-
ford county that the lid must be put
on here within ten days or I shall call
upon the governor for troops"
The order against the opening of the
theaters was obeyed. Not a house was
open. Cigar stores, soda fountains and
confectionery stands, however, did a
fiourishing business. Mr.. Mutton de-
clared that every violator of the Sun
day labor law will be arrested. The
slot machines, which have decorated
the cigar stores here for several years,
are absent.

DEADLOCK UNBROKEN.
Colorado Legislature Adjourns With
out Electing a Senator.

Denver, Colo. May s.-The joint as
sembly of the Colorado legislature was
dissolved Saturday night, after taking
seven ballots for United States sena-
tor, without breaking the deadlock
which has continued since the conyen-
ing of the legislature early in January.
The result will be that Colorado will
be represented by only one senator, a.
Republican, for two years.
A personal fight waged against Rob-
ert w. Speer of Denver, the leading
candidate whose final strength of SO
votes in the balloting was exactly one
half of the Democratic majority in the
Legislature, is held responsible for the
failure to elect a senator.
The lieutenant governor dropped his
gavel with the words. "I am ringing

GAGE ESTATE MUST PAY.
State Tax on Benefciaries Amounts to
Over Three Hundred Dollars.

Recipients of legacies under the pro-
visions of the will of the late Mrs. G..
G. Gage must this year turn over to
the state $369.98 under the provisions
of the inheritance tax law. This sum
is payable on $9,599.75, which Mrs
Gage bequeathed to relatives and init
mate friends.
But the larger per cent of the estate
will escape taxation. The entire es-
tate, which is valued at about $4,000,
was given largely to Topeka charities
and is not subject to taxation under
the provisions of the inheritance tax
law. Among the larger interests which
escape are included Stormont hospital
$36,500 and residue from certain
properties; Topeka Young Women's
Christian association, $4,000; IngIe-
side association, $4,000, and l. L.
Better, as trustee, $4,000.
There will be no contest over the
payment of the inheritance tax. Final
settlement of the estate has not been
made and the property is still in
charge of the trustee. The first notice
of the amount payable was received
today in a statement filed with Judge
Schoch of the probate court. 1t is
probable that in few days check
for the amount will be issued to the
tax commission by the trustee.

While the young man was cashier.

EARNED ~ the county attorney was
asked.
Not a Bit" he replied.
However, it is known there has been
a sort of inquistion on the past week
In connection with this case, and sew
eral witnesses were called in 20 testify.
1t is thought that this testimony is re-
sponsible for the rearrest of Maxwell
Church. and the additional counts
charged against him.
