LEWIS STOPS HIM
Puts Insurance Man Who Made
Loans Out of Business.
Claims C. E. WOOdeIl Fleeced
Farmers in Western Kansas.

Ike Lewis, superintendent OF insur-
ance. has cancelled the license Of c. E.
Woodell of Hutchinson, as an insurance
agent for Kansas. There is story
back of this cancellation that viii in
terest a lot of people in western kan
sas. Woodsll, some time ago. organized
realty company in Hutchinson. Sc
cured an agency from reputable IN
surance company and started out TO
write insurance. But he employed
unique methods, according to Superin-
tendent Lewis.
He went TO western Kansas men who
owned land in that section Of the state
and offered to secure loans for them on
their western Kansas lana. AS con-
dition for getting the loan Wooden de-
manded that the man take an insur-
ance policy in his company. If he fall
ed to make the loan the insurance prem
ium was to be paid back. The scheme
worked like a charm. WOOdell and his
company associates wrote thousands Of
dollars worth of premiums, but they
made no loans. The protests begun to
come in to the superintendent OF in
surance.
Supt. Lewis notified the insurance
company of Woodell's operations. The
company spared for wind. Woodells
methods, according to Lewis were re-
prehenSible. He was writing insurance
under false pretenses- His license has
been cancelled and all the premiums
he secured will have to be paid back
to the men who were duped by prom
ises of loans on their land.
superintendent Lewis viii hold the
insurance company and the Woodell
company liable. one or the other viii
have to make good. He says there is
not a bit of need for the victims to
hire legal counsel to get their pre-
rniuns back. His department Will act
quickly and surely in this plain case
of fraud, unintentional on the part Of
the insurance company, but perpe-
trated with malice aforethought by
one of it's authorized agents.

A WINTER SUNSET.

A WINTER SUNSET.
All the valley vaguely lies
Mist and shadows, milky blue;
Flames the splendor of the skies,
Climbing to wider view.
Like some mighty roses heart,
Orange, scarlet, crimson flames
All the vivid colors start,
Every westward cloud the same.
Wave on wave of glowing fire,
Tipped with molten gold each crest
Mounting skyward ever higher
In the palpitating west
AT their utmost color fail,
Flag, grow ashen from red gold,
Slowly splendors sink and pale,
All the fiery heart lies cold.
While the shadows ghostly creep,
Shroud the world with vapors gray
Color visions fading sleep,
Only in the mind to stay.

POSTSCRIPT
FACES A CRISIS
City CrematOry Is Not Paying
Its Way.
Commission Must Either Raise
Rates or Close Down.
PRICES ARE TO GO UP
New Schedule Will Be Arranged
by City.
Now Running Nine Thousand
Dollars Behind.
PRICES ARE TO GO UP

No indications are in sight for an
end to this budget-political squabble
at the city hall. 1t has been discov-
cred now that the city crematory is
losing more than $4,000 a year to the
taxpayers of the city on account of a
lack of patronage. In order to make
the plant pay the estimated receipts
of $1,000 a year and not cause a dehcit
in the budget for 1912 it has been de-
cided that the patrons Of the garoage
plant Will have to pay more LOT the
hauling of their kitchen refuse.
Commissioner Bone is authority for
the statement that immediate action
must be taken to revive the business
at the crematory or the city will face
another shortage in accounts next year
at the close Of the books. Bone is
working on plan to increase the
price of garbage privileges.
Unless this is done and the city in
tends to run the plant for the year
1912 without a shortage it will be
necessary to shake the CRATES and shut
down the crematory. The crematory
has been a municipal success as far as
city would have a difficult job trying
to close the doors.
Commissioner Stotts says there will
be no deficit in his budget no matter
what happens.
In the year 1911 it cost the city SILL
900 to keep the crematory in operation.
The receipts for this year amounted
to only $4,000. In the budget for 49,
the commissioners figured that the re-
ceipts would amount to $4,000 and the
means of providing for the remainder
of the cost was included in the taxes
Now it is brought to light that I'M
less a reformation takes place there Is
no way in the world for the city tc
extract more than $4,000 from the in
cinerator receipts and an emergency
step is taken in an attempt to make II
a paying proposition to the city.
At this time the city is supporting
/ 100 customers of the plant. In order
to make the receipts pay it will b'
necessary to nearly double this mum
Der of patrons. This seems imposs1
Bile and an increase in the price is thu
result.
The prices now in effect;
Tens gallon can a month, so cents.
| Twenty-gallon can a month, so cents
| Horse or COW, % cents.
Two horses or cows, 90 cents.
Wagon load manure, rs cents.

year 1911 are: Receipts, $3,1S7.96; ex'
penditures. 81, SAL.

erty and Alimony.

For the abuse and humiliation which
Teresa c. Murphy has suffered at the
hands of a drunken husband, Judge Dana
today gave the woman a divorce, custody
of the children. all of the $1,000 worth of
personal property and judgment for $500
additional alimony. She told the court
that for three years John E. Murphy, a
Menoken farmer, had spent weeks in a

On several occasions Murphy was so
drunk that the wife found it necessary
to brave the zero weather and care for
the stock Assisted only by her 14-year-
old son, - practically ran the farm and
Murphy remained drunk a week at a
time. One neighbor said that Murphy
was drunk for ten days in the winter of
l91O-11 and that he did all the farm work
for the family in Mrs. Murphys absence.
While intoxicated Murphy struck his
wife and son with his fist. knocked the
dishes Off the table and caused a general
rough house. The family has about 81, 600

4 SATURDAY SERMON.
And forgive us our debts. as we forgive
our debtors St. Matthew vi H.


AS is well known, the words re-
peated above, form one Of the petit
tions in the Lords prayer, prayer
that is an important part in the
fabric Of all Christian religions It's
the PRAYER that was handed down by
Jesus of Nazareth in his remarkable
utterances which are popularity re-
ferred to as his sermon on the mount.
Since then it has reverberated with
ever increasing intensity down through
the ages until now, when it is daily
supplication of millions of people.
It's significance is momentous, per-
haps of more far-reaching import
than many persons, who use it inces-
sanity, realize. OF the highest perfec-
ton are the sentiments which 1t eX-
presses. None of them are more So
than the words: And forgive US our
debts. as we forgive our debtors
Thev make I'D what is called the fifth
petition in the prayer And they
comprise a confession of all the frail-
ties of human nature. Almost every
man recognizes the fact that he is.
sinner. subject to daily weaknesses,
transgressions and trespasses- Many
of them are of the thoughtless sort,
and of insignificant proportions, for
which it is perfectly reasonable TO
asl, q Dardon. No matter how ser1-
ous a mans offense may be, there is
ALWAYS a feeling in his own heart that
he should be forgiven for 1t, especially
if he honestly purposes not to trans
press in that direction again.
Rl1t-and here comes the rub-ls
every man who would be forgiven Tor
his own r,lisdeeds, his mistakes, trivial
or great, Of mind to forgive as
readily the offenses of others which
may have been committed against
him That's the test which every man
should apply to himself before ne
asks for his own pardon for anything
Of an overt act he may have done
This is really nothing more than the
observance Of the golden rule, to DO
INFO others as you would be done by.
It is a condition, also, that is laid
down in the great prayer of Christian
itv No man can expect to gain the
pardon of his fellow men and his God
! for anything he may do if he IS not
sincerely willing to extend the same
sort of forgiveness to others. This Is
nointed out clearly by Christ in his
/ elucidation of the Lords prayer
where he says: "But if We forgive not
men their trespasses, neither VIII your
Father forgive your trespasses-
And it is more than likely that many
persons forget this most importan1
fact when they are making their sup
plications for the forgiveness OF such
wrongs as they have done.

KNOCKS OUT A LAW
Judge Whitcomb Holds Stable Statute
Is Unconstitutional.

Judge Whitcomb today held that
the law prohibiting the maintenance
of a barn in rs feet of residence
within the fire limits of city is IN
constitutional and refused to enforce
the Judgment against the Topeka
Transfer & Storage company a jury
found the transfer company guilty OF
maintaining a nuisance at their barns
on East Sixth avenue and Carr Taylor,
for the defense, raised question as
the constitutionality of the law
It was held by the cort that the law
was discriminatory and classified Ger
tain restricted districts and for this
reason could not be enforced Had
the law been upheld, the transfer
company would have been liable for
the payment of a heavy fine for the
maintenance of their barns at the
present location
evidence in the trial of the case
last September showed that at the
time the barns were built, there were
no houses within the distance pro-
hibited by law. The ma man built a
house in three feet of the barn. Later
he complained to the county attor-
news office concerning the fould odor
from the stables and asked to have
them removed. The transfer COM
many refused to vacate and a COM
pIaint was issued for maintaining a
nuisance.
