BELIEVE LEXINGTON
MAN IS MURDERED
SECOND DAYS SEARCH REVEALS
CLEW AS TO WHERE
ABOUTS.

Lexington, KY, March AFTER
searching for two days to find some
trace of Sam w. Bedford, Lexington
insurance man and former clerk OF
Daviess county who mysteriously dis
appeared on February 1S,members of
the party which has been securing
every foot of ground around High
Bridge, where he was last seen, have
come to the conclusion that Bedford
must have been murdered. Accord
ing to the station agent at High
Bridge, with whom Bedford left his
travelling bag just before he started
to walk to Shakertown, the Lexing-
ton man took a wallet out of the bag
and placed 1t in his pocket. 1t is
known that the wallet contained cur
rency and negotiable papers.
The searchers who left here yes
terday in autos, under the direction
of James Stewart, a detective, traced
Bedford as far as the road leading
to the ferry landing on the bank of
the Kentucky river. His trail was
lost at this point, for the ferryman
was confident that Bedford had never
reached the ferry landing. After
searching the woods along the road,
the party returned to Lexington last
night. They resumed the search to-
day. The Kentucky river was drag
ged by men in boats. while others
continued the search in the woods.
A reward of 5000 has been offered
for anyone who can give informa-
ton leading to the discovery of Bed
ford or of his dead body.

.CONVICTS FREE IN II
STATES IF WIVES wed
CLAUSE IN KANSAS ANTI-AFFIN-
ITY LAW WHICH UNLOCKs
PRISON DOORS.

Topeka, Kans., March kansas
has discovered that 1t has law by
which marriage will automatically
unlock the doors of the Kansas peni-
Tertiary.
1t is asserted by state officials that
no other state has a criminal statute
which let's men out of prison when
their wives get married.
1t is the Kansas anti-affinity law.
This statute was the first one to pass
such a statute. Frank l.. Travis of
lola, was the author of the law. 1t
took him two sessions of the legisla-
ture to get the bill passed. Since
then it has been copied in effect in
II states.
1t is probably that the rule which
automatically releases men from pri-
son when there is wedding in Kan
sas also will apply in the other states
which have followed the Kansas anti
affinity law.
The law provides that when a man
or a woman either, deserts his wife
or her husband and children, they are
guilty of a felony and may be sent
to prison for terms Of two years
The popularity of the Law, whereby
wedding automatically unlocks the
doors of the prison, was discovered
by Gov. Capper last week when the
case Of e. 1. Conkle was presented to
him.
Conkle was farmer living near
Great Bend. He became tired of his
wife and children and skipped out.
After long hunt Conkle was ar
rested and brought back to Kansas.
He was tried and convicted and sem
fenced to four years in prison, two
years for deserving and failing to
support his wife and two years for
deserving and failing to support his
children. '.s's'
The two terms ran consecutively.
Conkle has just completed his first
term and started on the second sem
tence. His father discovered that
Mrs. Conkle was married about, the
first of the year and wrote to the
government about it, suggesting that
since Mrs. Conkle now had another
husband, who was supporting her,
that his son should not be longer
punished for the crime as he was not
now responsible.
The governor turned the matter
over to the attorney general and the
attorneys connected with the prison,
and a ruling has Just been submitted
to the governor that the father is
right and that Conkle should be re-
leased from prison.
Under the Kansas law, and also
under the laws of most states, when
a man begins serving a prison sem
tence his wife is free and may marry
again. I'd

Short-Sighted People.
(Text. 2. Pet. 1:9.)
P" There are many people who. be-
lieve that Jesus is the Christ the Son
of God, and who accept the doctorines
of the Christian religion as of Devine
origin. but who do not live the higher
Spiritual life. Against this practice,
Peter seems to address this letter.
Right at the beginning of the letter,
he gives his great spiritual addition
table in which he tells his readers
what they should add to their faith.

or patients. To your endurance. God

They were short-sighted people.
They accepted the Gospel when it was
first preached, but had never taken
religion seriously. They had not
given diligence to add to their faith
full anything.
Like some of our own people I
have met In different places. II have
not lost my faith" they say. Maybe
not. but they have added nothing to
1t. and in that particular, they are
not very for ahead of the devils, for
they believe, and tremble." They
had not made any effort to pluck up.
root out, and cast forth the pleasant
vices to which they had once been
addicted. They had never made any
effort at the daily self-denial. and
the daily bearings of the cross, and
the daily publication.
