SPENDING HONEYMOON IN
THE COUNTY JAIL

| Hubert Richardson and Mrs. Beu-
lah Richardson, his two-day old bride
are spending their honeymoon at
Huntsville, in the Hotel Milan, not
because they prefer lounging in con-
jugal love behind iron bars to that
Of the easy rockers and couches of the
Radium Hotel, or any other fine hos
telry, but because the law has SO de-
creed. But it is said they are enjoy
ing life and making the best of their
honeymoon under the confning cir
cumstances, and hoping for better and
happier days in the near future.
Hrs. Richardson was a Mrs. Beu-
Ian Scott up to Tuesday last, and re-
sided for while in the northern part
of this county. Her maiden name
was West, and she married Scott
about two years ago, and two child
ren were born to them; one is dead
and the other, little girl of seven
months is living. Mrs. Richardson
is just past eighteen years old. She
END her first husband had separated
] and she had filed suit for divorce in

tried before Judge Walker Monday,
but the Judge took the matter un-
der advisement and did not order a
/ decree. She same to Huntsville on
! Sunday with Hubert Richardson, of
Prairie Hill, Mo. A young bachelor
of 35 years, and they engaged rooms
at the home of Mrs. William Asbell,
claiming to be man an dwife.
Tuesday, following her trial for a
divorce, Mrs. Scott and her lover, Mr..
Richardson, procured licenses from
County Recorder Callie Halliburton,
and were united in marriage by Judge
NJ. A. Finnell, and Wednesday follow
ing the newlyweds left for Charlton
County. When the officers of the law
learned of their action, a state war
rant was sworn out for their arrest,
charging them with unlawful cohabi-
tation and bigamy.
Thursday morning Deputy Sheriff
> Steve Jones, armed with the warrants,
started in pursuit, and overlook them
at Salisbury and placed them under
arrest. Failing to give bond the new
lily married couple was placed in jail
to await the action of court.

Is There a Santa Claus?

From the Sun, New York, Sept 21, 1897
We take pleasure in answering at and thus
prominently the communication below, expressing at
the time our great qualification that it's faithful
author is numbered among the friends of the, Sun:
Dear Editor: I amB years old
'Some of my little friends say there is no Santa

'Papa says, If you 81 i in The Sun, it's So
please tell me the trdthk is there Santa Claus?
"VIISGINIA OHANLON,

Virginia, your little friends wrong. They have
been affected by the sceptcSm of sceptica age They
do not believe except they see They think that moth
ing be which is not comprehensive by their little
minds. All minds Virginia whether they be mems
chlldrens are little. In this great universe of
man is mere insect, ant in his intellect as COM
pared with the boundless world about him. as measured
by the intelligence capable of graspng the whole of
ruth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus He exists
as certainly love and generosity and devotion exist
and you know that they abound and give to your life
its highest beauty and joy Alas, how dreary would be
the world If there were no Santa Claus. 1t would be
as drealy if there no Virginas. There would
he no childlike faith then poetry no romance to
make tolerable this existence. We should have no
enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal
hight with which childhood fills the world would be
eXtinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well
not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to
hire men to watch in all the chmneys on Christmas
Eve to catch Santa Claus but they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? No
sees odItd ClauS, LIaC is no sign That there
is no Santa Claus The most real things in the world
are those that neither children men can see Did
you ever see fairies dancing the lawn? Of course
not, but that's no proof that they not there No
body can conceive imagine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the world
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what
makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest man. nor even

H. N. Arms, conductor of the train,

from his seat by the explosion, but
was not hurt.

Hunts body was found in the cab
of the locomotive $50 feet from

Those who rushed to the scene OF

scene of the explosion.
The body of Fireman Gray was re-
moved from the wreckage within a
few feet of the rails. Three cars
of the train were blown from the
tracks and reduced to kindling wood
The tender was a mass of crushed
and broken steel.
Trains east out of Kansas City were
not delayed, but westbound, trains
were delayed until another locomotive
could be secured to pull the freight
train back to Standish.

merchandise, and left Marceline about
