o A GOLDEN WEDDING.

On last Fiday occurred an even
Of no little importance, as it wai
the occurrence Of the 5Oth b wedding
anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Danie
Miller, Of northwest Of town. %
Many people live to be over the
Biblical three score and ten years
but the couples who live together
through fifty years of happily welded
LIE are IN the minority, and the
community owes its respects to this,
as well as other couples, who have
blazed the way for civilization and
made the path easy for the younger
generation.
Il Mr.. and Mrs. Miller were totally
unaware of anything unusual about tc
happen Friday morning, until about
noon when their children, who live
In different parts Of the county, be-
gan to gather at the home with well
filled baskets and goodly abundance
Of filial love and cheer, prepared for
a day Of feasting and enjoyment. AT.
ter Sumptuous. dinner the sell in
yited guests spent the afternoon in
delightful "reminiscences of the days
gone by, and all departed In the even.
ing feeling that they had attended a
most worthy and notable event and
wishing for Mr.. and Mrs. Miller many
more happy anniversaries. And in
these thoughts the wishes Of the chill.
dren and grandchildren who assem-.
bled On this occasion are not alone,
for they are joined in by every per.
son with whom this worthy couple Is
acquainted. They are among the best
Known and most highly respected of
the older citizens Of the county. and
their many friends rejoice with them
that they have lived SO long and so
we'll, and hope that the future may
have in store for them many more
years Of united happiness.

Buddy Bryan Boxwelll, the sage
OF Democracy Of Barton county, was
here from Hoisington Tuesday TO lool
after some matters Of business and
for a visit with his hosts of Great
Bend friends. Buddy is still as chock
full Of Simon-pure Jeffersonian Dem.
ocracy as he was some twenty odd
years ago when he made the promise
that he would never again have his
hair cut until a Democrat was elect
ed as president Of the United States.
And he made good on the prom se,
too, and his long, wavy hair, the envy
OF many a woman, has achieved for
him fame all over the United States
and more especially when Woodrow
Wilson was inauguated into Office.
But he decided that after associating
with his troublesome locks for so
long they had somewhat endeared
thenselvs to him and he has still
fought shy OF the BARRIERS shears.
Mr.. Boxwell is a conspicuous person
at any time, but with his flowing
tresses over his shoulders he presents
a dignifed appearance that would put
Buffalo Bill Cody to shame.

JAPANESE ENDS LIFE
WITH A ROPE AT THE
s. INTER ISLAND BUNkERS

8 a. bridegroom of but week. the
bride being an exceedingly comely
young girl, a recent arrived from ia.
pan, F. Fukuda, a japanese, quarter
master in the Inter-Island steamer
Mauna Kea, knotted a rope to his neck
and swung off the elevated tracks at
the Inter-Island coal bunkers, where
his lifeless body was discovered this
morning suspended forty feet above
the floor of the structure.
Judging from the condition of the
remains, the Japanese took his life
late yesterday afternoon or last night.
S. Mahi, foreman at the plant was on
duty Sunday who visited the wharf
several times during the day, stated
that he first noted tine body as he.
patrolled the wharf at an early hour
this morning, as ne prepared for the.
mooring of the British freighter Eccle-
STA. Deputy Sheriff and Coroner Rose
empanelled a jury which visited the
wharf, and the morgue. Fukuda is
said to have left brief note in which
he arranged for the final disposition
of his personal effects. He intimated
that he proposed to make an end of
his life as he was extremely unhappy.
The missive was discovered yesterday
and caused number of his friends
to institute search for his remains.

GEN. CARTER MAY
NOT COME TO OAHU
Is ARMY RUM0R NOW

According TO the Coast papers, there
is a chance that Major general VIM.
III. Carter may be made chief of staff
of the army, in which event a new
commanding general for the Hawai-
ian department would have to be Sc
lected. This rumor, however, is not
given much eredence in local army
circles.
The San Francisco Chronicle of re-
cent date, says: f. >
No intimation has been received in
this city as to who will be appointed
chief of staff to succeed ssiaio r-gen-
eral Leonard Wood, who soon COM
pletes his four years assignment at
such duty and goes TO GoVerno: S isis
and, N. Y, to assume command of
the eastern department. While Gem
eral w. w. Wotherspoon has been
mentioned, there have been serious
objections advanced against his APP
rointment, as it is argued ti.at some
officer who has had much experience
inS active command Of troops should
have the post. General Wotherspoon
retires next November, anyway.
Major General Thomas III. Barry is
under orders to sail from San Fran
cisco to Manila March 5th, so 1t would
seem that he is not slated for the post,
although, of course, hrs orders TO go
tc the Philippines could be counter
handed at any time Major-general
William H. Carter is talked Of as a
probability and there is : rumor that
the president is even considering ap-
pointing d chief of staff from among
the Is acknowledgements, although
this is not generally credited in the
service.
MajoEseneral 8rthn Murray, com
handing the western department,
would make an ideal selection, judg-
ing from the statements of local
army officers, but it is definitely
known that he does not seek the ap-
pointment, preferring to remain in
commanded the department through.
the Panama Pacifie international Ex-s
position, Of which he has been a
staunch friend, Even at that he can.
not be. in command throughout the
exposition, as; he reaches retiring age
in April of next year.
