A
MatrimoniialAd.
By ESTHER VANDEvEER

Anna Trowbridge was apparently
destined TO a life of toll. Her father
bad never got on in the world. and II
was evident as she grew to woman
| hood that she would have to work for
! her living When she was seventeen
she had love affair with young fell
| low who was still in college and with
| three or -four more years of study be-
fore attaining his profession. Both
were too young for serious affair, and
the young man never spoke to his par
ents of the girl be fancied.
Anna studied stenography and type
writing and at twenty went to work.
But that kind of work did not please
her. She pinned for home and all that
home brings. She was attractive and
doubtless might have married, but ev-
cry year she grew more particular as to
the man she should choose.
There are persons who believe in go
ing forward. even if one goes wrong in
stead of right. while their opposites
are always fearful of striking into new
paths. Anna belonged to the former
class. The firm for which she worked
was a large advertiser. and she had
ample opportunity to observe the re-
markable results that accrue from adj
vertising. One day the subject of mat
rlinonal advertisements occurred to
her. She was aware that the results
of such were not in keeping with those
pertaining TO business. Why should
they not be available? She had read
that in certain cities abroad marriage
brokers are in constant requisltion and
the marriages they effect are as liable
to turn out we'll as those made in other |
ways.
Some months after this idea occurred |
to her she came home one evening /
tired and sick at heart In fit of des-
peration she took an advertisement she
had written long before from writ

TO DISCUSS
RATE INCREASE
Railway Men Will Gather in
Washington for the
Purpose
TO CONFER WITH
COMMERCE BOARD
Rea Tells Why More Reve-
nue. Is Needed by the
Railroads

Washington, May ia conference
between the interstate commerce com
mission aud representatives OF the east
en railroads will be held here Wednes-
day to consider informally proposed
advance of five per cent. in freight rates.
1t has been suggested that the advance
be uniform throughout what is known
as eastern territory that part of the
country lying east of the Mississippi
and north OF the Ohio rivers.
Announcement was made recently by
President Willard of the Baltimore &
Ohio that application would be made to
the commission by the 81 eastern roads
for permission to increase their freight
rates five pen cent. Precisely the form
the application, ii made, may take, has
not been determined. That question
probably will be settled at Wednesdays
conference.

WOULD ELIMINATE HIM.
Senator Kenyon Wishes to Bar Medical
Expert Witness.

Chicago, May l3.-Legislation which
twill prevent the indiscriminate barter
of expert medical testimony viii be
sought by Senator w. 5. Kenyon of
Iowa, he told physicians of Chicago at
a dinner Sunday night. He asserted he
would seek to have the American Bar
association recommend to its affiliated
state organizations the enactment of
laws which will put an end to the medi-
cal expert as witness in court.
Il believe there should be a law TO
provide for the appointment by the
court, in cases where medical testimony
may be a factor, OF doctor referee
to assist judge and jury" said Senator
kenyon.
This referee could confer with medi-
cal experts of plaintiff and defendant
and see that they eonfine themselves to
the facts in the case. Such laws would
be particularly beneficial to the poor
man seeking compensation from large
eorportions for injuries. Under the pres
ent system, the poor man has little
chance against the experts of the cor
poration."

Chicago, May l3.-When the state

CATION of immortality against Lieutenant
Governor Barratt O'Hara resumed its
hearing yesterday, William L. 0'Connell,
treasurer of Cook county, took the wit
ness stand. 1t was through O'Connell
that 0'Hara received his first definite in
formation of the Maud Robinson affida-
Wit. 0'Connell said he was visited by
Deputy Sheriff Sullivan of Sangamon
county, friend of Samuel Davis, a hq-
uor dealer of Springfield, ILL.,, with in
formation of the existence of the aft
dayit. In effect, Sullivan's communica-
tion was that unless 0'Hara curbed the
vice investigation at Springfield the af-
fidavit would be made the basis of public
charges. O'Connell said after talking
the matter over with 0'Hara he advised
O'Hara to let the alleged "frame-up'
against him run its course.

In the correspondence that ensued
Anna discovered In the writer's letters

But she had not seen him. Her heart
sank within her at remembering that
he might write lovely letters and still
be unattractive in appearance and he
might be the latter and villain. She
proposed an exchange of photographs.
Her correspondent wrote that such
likenesses often gave a very different
impression from the real being and he
would prefer to see and be seen in the

without any qualms or regrets. but a

MARRIED

Karl johnson, manager Of the
Golden Rule, in Elko, pulled of a
stunt on his friends the other day.
which made them think that April
Fool was the real thing. OF all the
men in town he was the last, one
would have suspected of entertain
ing Thoughts of matrimony. One of
our "jollY bachelor" business men
had gone SO far as tc wager a
champagne dinner that Karl would
never marry.
Now the joke is ON one of Elko's
sports and he is called upon to pay
the wager.
Last night Karl and his bride,
Miss Forbes, a charming young
lady from Ogden came in on No 5.
The news soon became current
around town and the many friends
of the groom gave him a royal
reception at the Commercial hotel.
In fact, their attentions were so
persistent and their enthusiasm SO
unbonnded as to be, to say the least,
just a little unwelcome. The
things they done in his suite of
rooms, before the bride and groom
had receded to the privacy Of their
sleeping apartments, would not
look we'll in print Karl never
realized before just how many
friends he had or just how strong
the bond of friendship. He knows
now and may be heard to mutter
under his breath, "Save me from
my friends" almost every hour Of
the day.

To westward the mountains, and

THIS ISNO BLUFF

Some people seem to forget, or
else they never knew, that it costs
money to run a newspaper. They
seem to take it for granted that
newspaper space is free as the air.
The Independent will make a bar
gain if agreeable to all parties
concerned. The Editor of this
papea will work for nothing, if
the teachers will teach and the
preachers will preach for nothing.
That's fair, isn't it? The paper is
furnished free to all clergymen in
the county and to all teachers at
half price. This is only a small
part of our contribution to the
cause of education, religion and
morality, and it is gladly given,
but if our friends have any regard
for fair play, we hope they will not
be too prolific with their requests
for column after column of flee
space.
