Must be Sound.

A bill has passed the house,
and there is little doubt but that
it will pass the senate, which
provides that in the state of Kan
sas persons who desire to get
married must make affidavit that
they are sound and we'll; that
they have no infectious disease;
that they have never been insane,
or have any fear of being so,
aside from desiring into a mat
rimonial career. Besides max
ing this sort of an affidavit they
must procure a certificate from a
registered reputable physician.
The law is a good one, but
won't it have some effect on elope-
ments and other sorts of hurry
up marriages.

Strange Freaks.

The water supply of this sec
ton is cutting queer capers.
Many of the wells out north and
west of town have gone dry this
winter, and most of the farmers
have had to haul water. But a
few weeks ago a spring at the
head of Tar creek began to run,
and has filled up a greas many
of the pools in Tar creek as far
down as Tom Towards. Out
on the place formerly owned by
E. H. 'Schloeman a spring has
burst forth from the side of a
small hill. Down in Reunion
park one spring which went dry
early in the fall has commenced
flowing again.
Old timers say such proceed
ings are a sign of coming rain,
but up to this time not much
rain has fallen.

made, which were not loaded Out
this week, but will show up in
next weeks shipments. The
production of this ore is also
growing, but the purchases are
keeping down any accumulation
of stocks.
The metal markets have made
some interesting changes. Spelt-
er advanced strongly and regis
tered at $5.37 IL, East St. Louis
a rise of twelve and a half cents
over the week before. The whole
market was much better. Lead
was nominal at $4.35.
The Good Luck is running
steadily, and at this writing has
about $50 tons of ore in the bins.
The dirt is very rich, and the
mill is turning out about ten tons
of clean zinc concentrates per
shift.
The belts have been frightened
on the machinery at the new
Petersburg mill, and now the
production of ore will begin. The
mill it is believed is going to
work off all right, and if no un.
foreseen accident happens the
property will be a steady pro-
Queer from now on.
The Mission Is now unwatered,
and we expect to be able to note
heavy production from this prop
erty. The mill was overhauled
and put in good condition, and
some new rolls were put in, and
under the management of M. M.
Kersh, who is a practical man,
the property should do well.
Down in the Miami camp there
are about three thousand tons of
ore in the bins, and the produc-
tion is not being curtailed. The
dirt from every mine in that
camp is good, and the percent
age of lead in the dirt is quite
heavy. In fact at most of the
plants the lead production is
large enough to pay the operat-
ing expenses, leaving the zinc
for velvet.

with the pork barrel agree
ment will 60 an agreement to
defeat the Republican platform
pledges. The idea is to raise
taxes, cut down the educational
institutions, except the three un-
necessary normal schools, and
discredit the progressive wing of
the Republican party. Unless
the conscience and manhood of
the senate asserts itself, this
plan will be contaminated.
There is yet other recourse.
The people of Kansas should let
the standpat senators who are
planning this raid upon. the state
treasury and this rape upon pro-
gress know just what the people
think. The fight for progress
sive principles was fairly made
and honestly won in the late
campaign. The people of Kansas
voted in the primaries and at the
election, and there can be no ex-
cuse that there is not a good
working majority of the people
of both parties for these things;
for a public utilities bill; for the
Oregon plan of electing senators;
for an employers liability law
and working mans compensation
act; for the initiative and refer
endum, for good roads, and for a
recall.
"Yet, to throttle this legisla-
ton, to cut down the State Ag-
ricultural college and cripple the
University, to check progress
now and muddy its spring, that
is the object of the reactionaries
in the Kansas Senate who, by a
pork barrel, are making the tax
payers of Kansas pay the bills of
the bribery that shall hogtie the
voters of Kansas.
isn't it time for Kansas peo-
pie to let that stand pat Senate
know what is coming to it?"

$I,ss4,sIo.oO

While the top price Tor zinC
ores was no higher than the week
previous, the general level Of
prices for the weeks shipment
was somewhat higher, due to the
better feeling in the market and
the evident belief that the spell.
ter market had started to much
higher level. The base range
for ores this week in car load
lots has been $37 to $41.50.
Smaller lots have sold down, but
a. a whole producers have been
loath to consider any offers be-
low $40, and held in every in
stance where they could do so.
The highest price reported paid
for any lot was $44.5O. The con.
tract price for ore the past week
was 1929.
Calamine ores have been very
weak, and producers have COM
planned more about prices for
this commodity than for any
blend or lead ore prices for some
time. Lots of this ore have been
sold as low as $14 per ton and as
high as $21.50 the past week.
Production has increased to its
old figure and fully $500 tons OF
zinc concentrates were produced
last week. The surplus stocks
have also increased in the hands
Of the strong holders until there
Is IN excess of $500 tons in the
bins Of the producers. The sur
plus stocks are for the most part
distributed in Miami, Galens,
Oronogo, Prosperity, Joplin,
Neck City, and with scattered
lots elsewhere, there is an aggre-
gate of between $500 and 5000
tons. Yet this is very strongly
held, the strongest financial OPP
orators having it in hand. More
than that, having passed beyond
the tenth of the month, there is
nov no pressure to sell this tom
mage for another thirty days.
Il Is therefore not the menace to
tie market that would ordinarily
be supposed when there was such
sd accnmulatiOn. II should be
remembered also that it has &C
camuuIated during a decreased
production period, and has been
snstained until the spelter mar
kst started upward. There has

On Monday of this week Gov
ernor Stubs caused to be intro
duced bill in the Legislature
providing for a tax on mortgages
of fifty cents per thousand, pay
able yearly, and if not paid when
due the mortgage to be void.
Very innocent sounding thing,
indeed, but do you suppose for
a moment, gentle reader, that
outside money is going to rush
to Kansas for investment if that
bill should become a law? For
instance, the Empire District
Electric Company is planning to
build another big power plant.
Do you suppose for a fraction of
a minute the new plant will be
built in Kansas If that bill be.
comes a law? No, indeed. Those
sort of things are built on bor-
rowed money, secured by first
mortgage bonds, and if Kansas,
fool as it is, should pass that
sort of law, you can just bet your
boots that. the new plant will be
built over in Missouri. Coal can
be shipped to Joplin, for instance,
as cheaply as it can to RiYertou.
Railroads are built on borrowed
money, and the security given Is
first mortgage bonds. Do you
think outside money is going to
rush to Kansas where it will be
jeopardized by such laws as Mr..
Stubs is trying to have passed.
Fact of the matter is just this:
Stubs is playing a losing game
politically, but if he can not win
out along gentlemanly lines in
politics, if there is such thing
in politics, he desires to en-
barrass his party to the extent Of
