Marshall's, Knights and Ladies of Security and a Boy Scouts' band furnished music for the marchers. Many were tired and gave evidence that the long walk on brick pavements hurt their feet by the time Garfield Park -was reached. Following a concert by K. L. of S.

band, George Hughes introduced Gov. Capper who held close attention for possibly fifteen minutes. The The Hughes party arrived on time last Friday and was met at the Union Pacific by a reception committee headed by Gov. Capper and escorted to the north front of the State House. Mr.

Hughes did not speak long as he only had an hour and three minutes at his disposal. The talk seemed to be well received by his hearers but none of the old-time enthusiasm was aroused like existed in the days of Blaine. Logan, MeKinley or Roosevelt. The breaking up of party organizations the past few years has taken the pep out of the men who are partisans by thought and habits hence a feeling of indifference exists in all parties. B.

He was taken sick Sunday forenoon and went to his room and at 11 A. M. was unconscious and passed away about 12:30. None of his folks were with him at the time of his death which was a great care to them all. He was brought to Meriden where the funeral was preached at the Methodist church by Rev.

William M. Stanley from the text in Psalm 90, "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." The interment was in the Meriden cemetery. "Our future is hid we know not where, But if we do well here, we shall do well there!" Robert Browning. A wedding of much interest to the young people of Berry creek was that of Miss Nellie May Tan Ordstrand, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Van Ordstrand, of Richland and Mr. Albert Scott Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith of Richland. The ceremony occurred at 4 'clock Wednesday afternoon, August 23rd, at the home of the bride's parents.

The Rev. Hodson of the Glen-wood United Brethren church read the marriage service. Miss Bessie Van Ordstrand, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Mr. George Land a school friend of Mr. Smith acted as groomsman.

The bride was gowned in white satin made with full skirt. The bodice was trimmed with shadow lace and beading, was cut round neck with puff sleeves. Miss Bessie Van Ordstrand was gowned in pink silk. After the ceremony a luncheon was served. The invited guests were Mr.

and Mrs. Will Land, Mr. and Mrs. Charley Van Ordstrand and daughter Cleo, Mr. and Mrs.

Drovers Telegram. TRANSFER POSTPONED. I C. W. Kouns, general manager of the Santa Fe, died at his home on Topeka Ave.

Sunday morning. He broke down under the strain of work that fell to him before the date set for-the railroad employees strike. He was in New York and Washington and was one of seventeen who handled the deal, for the railroads. Mr. Kouns came up from the ranks and was well liked by the men who worked for his road.

The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon. Many friends from over the Santa Fe system came to pay their last respects to Mr. regulations of the U. S. Public Health Service state i "It is the duty of officers to maintain their physical as well as their professional fitness.

To this end they, shall be allowed time for recreation and study whenever their official duties will permit." If the government regards it as essential that its sanitary experts shall be safeguarded in this way, is it not equally important to every citizen that he; similarly maintain a high standard of physical integrity? The transfer of the Leavenworth and Topeka Railroad to Willard Winner did not take place Sept. 1st as expected. The date has been moved forward to a week from today or the 15th inst. This road is going to be Strike Flattened Out. The big railroad tie up that we expected Monday failed to come as the Adamson bill was rushed through Congress, was signed byxthe President Sunday, again Tuesday, and the brotherhoods accepted its provisions to the point that they revoked the strike order.

As we understand the new law it provides for an 8-hour day on railroad work after January 1st, 1917. Both sides to the controversy will have time to cool off by then and perhaps nQt be so ready for a scrap as they were. The wjiole country felt 'better to dodge the tie up as the embargos on shipping ordered by the railroad managers last week disturbed business badly in a few days. Hog prices jumped up in Kansas City to a high notch but as nobody could ship it didn't matter much what the packers offered. It looked Friday as if potato prices would follow that of hogs up in a ballon.

Post, assistant Secretary of Labor, made the principal address and it was worth hearing too. He is a free lance, says what lie thinks and thinks on his hook. He outlined the origin of Labor Day and its growth to the present time until it is a legal holiday in thirty-two states.

He warned his hearers of the growth of tenants and the danger of land: lords acquiring ownership of so much of our farm land. Advocate the taxing of land and exemption of improvements. If we understood him rightly he approves Henry George's theory of taxation. In the evening Mrs. Post and Marian Wharton of Fort Scott spoke.

The day was a typical fall Kansas one with a high wind and plenty of dust. An immense parade with many floats made it a day to be remembered in this town. The amusement stands and cold drink venders did a rushing business at the park. Special Trains to the Fair. Sept.

Governor Capper has under consideration a plan to require all embezzlers, especially those who loot banks of public funds, to make an accounting as to what became of the money they stole, before giving their applications for parole any consideration.

The suggestion has been made in the John Flack case. Mack embezzled about $100,000 from a bank at Abilene. Mr. -Swift returned home Sunday. PLEASURE AND REST SEEKERS RETURN FROM WEST.

August 15th they were caught in a snow storm stolen money. Five other embezzlers in prison are applying for paroles.

"If it were shown that any of them had money hidden, expecting to get hold- of it when he is released, he would have a hard job securing a parole," said Judge Smith, parole clerk. "It might be well to' require an applicant for parole to show what he did with the money. After he filed his report it could be checked up. Then if it was found that he had lied about it his parole could be denied." Governor Capper has refused to parole O. W.

Jones of Wichita, ex-treasurer of Sedgwick county, from the state penitentiary at Lansing. The board of corrections had recommended Jones' parole, but the governor decided not to act on their recommendation. Jones retired from office in 1914. An audit of his books showed a shortage of $400,000, and Jones was given an indeterminate sentence of four to forty vears. The Rev.

Wooden keys whittled from a broom handle were used by the two men who broke jail here Sunday night about midnight. They escaped without the knowledge of the other prisoners. It is supposed they managed to get an impression of the door lock of the door in the cell room, and whittled out a key to fit that. After unlocking that at some time when they could get to the outer door unobserved, they made an impression of that lock and Avhittled out another key. It was not known that they had knives, in the jail, which was supposed to be proof against any kind of an attempt at escape.

The men are Joe Graves, held on a charge of attempting to hold up a crew and passengers of a Rock Island train, and Fred Doekton. who forgot to turn off the light while he was looting the Citv hardware store. John P. St. John died at his home in Olathe last week.
