i NO EFFORT MADE. On account of the death of Elder D. T. of the Falkirk place, were exultant GOING INTO PARTNERSHIP. M.

"Four hundred pounds and a mortgage for the balance is very well," said Mr. Sangster, but they had had another offer this morning of cash down! And they had considered it their duty to Mr. Falkirk to close with it.

Very sorry, but perhaps they might suit Mr. Nottingham with some other piece of property." Mr. Nottingham went home sadly disappointed. "What's the use of trying to save money?" said he. "I am going to give up after this!" "I don't agree with you there, dear." said Mrs.

Nottingham. "I've been saving money for the last three years, and I've" found it pays." "You have?" said her husband. "Of course I have. Do you suppose I spent all the money? Not a bit of it. I put the best part of it out at interest, always following Uncle Wetherbee's advice in my investments, and I've bought a house with it." "What house?" Mr.

Nottingham's eyes opened wider and wider. "The Falkirk house," said his wife, her lips and cheeks dimpled all over with satisfaction. "I com pleted the bargain to-day. My dear" stealing one arm around her husband's neck "how do you think I have held up my end of the busi ness partnership? "Better than I have done myself, Phoebe," said Mr. Nottingham, a curious moisture coming into his eyes.

"My plucky little wife, 1 am proud of you!" "It was your money, Nicholas," said the wife in a faltering voice. "But it was you prudence and economy that stored it up, Phoebe." "Then you don't regret the terms and articles of our partnership?" So the young couple moved into the Falkirk house when the first of May came around, and the cosiest room in the house, with a south window and an open fireplace for a wood fire, was reserved for Uncle Wetherbee. And Mr. Nottingham is never tired of telling his friends that his wife bought the place with her share of the partnership profits. "The most charming woman in the world," says Mr.

Nottingham. Woman at Work: lie Wanted No Store. Chicago Post: "I tell you, sir," said the solemn man, "woman's suffrage is bound to come soon. Women will have all the political rights and privileges of men. "Possibly, possibly," sighed the baldheaded man, wearily.

"But when they do you will never find me working in a convention city." "Indeed! Pray, what is your business?" "I am a hotel clerk just from Philadelphia."

Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them.

Jlrs. Nottingham, being unable to get the means from her husband to supply her necessities, at last informed him that she should resume htr profession of teaching, so as to be independent as she was before she was married. "You're not in earnest, my dear?" said Mr. Nottingham. "Of course I'm in earnest.

Why not? Do you suppose I intend to go on in this way, begging and praying for every farthing I spend? I've been independent once, and I can be so again." "But look here" Mr. Nottingham had arisen; and was pacing up and down rather uneasily "my wife can't go to teaching! What is it that you waa't?" "What I earn!" proudly retorted his wife. "But put into words." "Well, then, look here. I have always clone my own work and sewing. Considered as a cook, I demand three pounds a month; as a seamstress, one pound; as your wife and the lawful mother of your children, at least ten pounds more.

And then I shall not consider myself properly compensated." "Whew-w-w! Let me see it's nearly twenty pounds a month." "I consider my services worth that, at least," said Mrs. Nottingham with dignity; "but if you would rather hire a housekeeper, I will prosecute my original idea of opening a select school." Mr. Nottingham walked up and down the room once more, rumpling his hair into porcupine fashion with his fingers. "I'll consult Uncle Wetherbee," he said. "Very well." said Mrs.

Nottingham, "I am quite willing to abide by his decision." Uncle Wetherbee, a bronze visaged ex-sailor, who was comfortably smoking his meerschaum up-stairs, was summoned at once. lie came down rather slowly, on account of a wooden leg and listened to the pleading on either side with the utmost gravity. "D'ye want my opinion?" said Un cle Wetherbee, when they both had finished. "Certainly," said Mr. Nottingham.

"Of course," said his wife. "Then look here," said Uncle Wetherbee. "Matrimony is a copartnership of joys and sorrows, and it ought to be of money as well. My advice is, Nephew Nicholas, that you divide even with your wife." "Divide even!" blankly repeated Mr. Nottingham.

"Or, better still," went on Uncle Wetherbee, "take one-third of vour money yourself, lay aside one-third for vour household expenses, and give the other third to Phoebe." "Yes, but uncle" "You asked my advice." said Un cle Wetherbee. "There it is and I have nothing more to say." And off he stumped up-stairs again. Mr. Nottingham looked at his wife. His wife looked back again at him.

"Well," said Phcebe. "I will try it," said Mr. Nottingham. "It seems like a wild idea, but Uncle Wetherbee is a remarkably sensible man. Yes, I'll try it." And for the next three years Mr.

Nottingham remained in partnership with his wife on these unusual financial conditions. "Though for the life of me I don't see what you do with all your money," said he to his wife. "The very idea that has often suggested itself to me in regard to your money," retorted his wife laughingly. "I had intended buying a house for you, if it hadn't been for this unexpected appropriation of my funds," said Mr. N.

"I can wait, dear," said his wife serenely. "All in good time." But one afternoon Mr. Nottingham came home early from his business an rushed up to Uncle Weth-erbee's room. "My dear uncle, that house of Falkirk's is in thernnrketat forced sale. Such a bargain! Only six hundred!" "Why don't you buy it, then?" said Mr.

Wetherbee, scooping fresh tobacco out of his jar. "Because I've only been able to lay up four hundred out of that deuc-edly small allowance of mine.

II. Martin, formerly editor of tin Parsons Independent, litis been appointed chief clerk at tho Kansas penitential' v. Dr. Price's Cream unking Powder World Fair Highest Medal anil The Rock Island Train Still Ruunins Through Strip Towns Unmolested. The proposed effort to enforce the ordioiince compelling the Rock Island railroad company to stop its trains at the government towns in the Strip was not made this morning as announced.

The trains are all running through as usual today, the onlj noticeable differ ence being a little more alertness on the part of the authorities. Just why the effort was not made is not known, but it is suspected by tbe taciturn disposition of those in a position to know that there will be more trouble either tonight or tomorrow. A press report from Xorth Enid, dated the 20th, says. "Acting Governor Lowe of the territory served injunctions on 150 citizens of Enid today, restraining them from in any way participating in mob violence. The injunctions are so sweeping that they restrain those upon whom they were served from talking over the situation in the streets or in crowds.

Editor Isenberg of the Daily Wave was also enjoined from publishing any article in his paper tending to increase the bit terness of the citizens against the Rock Island road or calculated to incite mob violence or a disorderly spirit. Governor Lowe left for his home at Guthrie tonight. He passed through here and stated that he would restore peace at Enid if he was compelled to arrest every man in the town. The feeling is very high and the people of South Enid naturally think that the assistant governor is assisting the Rock Island road not only to humil iate them but to crush the spirit that prompts them to tight for what they consider their rights." following memorial, signed by all the leading citizens of Enid, will be sent to the United States senate today. Omitting the date line, it says: "We, the undersigned property owners and citizens of the city ot Enid, and county of desire by this petition to express our denunciation of the malic ious and wholly false newspaper reports published in the Kansas City Star and other papers, which were sent out by the Associated Press correspondent of North Enid, purporting to give an account of the various disasters and wrecks on the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway through this territory and ascribing to the cities of Pond Creek and Enid the odious epithet of outlaw, and declaring that we have no civil law in our cities.

"This city is, and always has been since its organization, quiet and peaceful and in perfect civil order; we have no public demonstrations or riots and have had none; no railroad property has ever been molested or destroyed within the corporate limits of this city. No wrecks of trains have occurred here, and no delay to the Unitad States mail service by reason of any unlawful act of our citizens. "No United States troops are here or have been here for the purpose of main taining peace and order; no citizen has ever been forced to leave this city by threats or intimidation, except those who were continuously disturbing the peace and agitating dissension among our citizens. No citizen of this county or elsewhere has ever betn detained or interfered with in the transacting of his business before any of the county officers or 'Jnited States land office, and all re ports, dispatches, or newspaper articles containing such allegations are untrue and without foundation. "The city has sufficient police force to maintain peace and protect property and life, but we apprehend that the railroad, the Chicago, Eock Island and Pacilic company, through their local employes, have circulated these false reports, with a view of prejudicing the public mind, and especially the senators, in order to prevent the passage oi house bill giving relief and rights to an outraged people." County Commissioner.

The county commissioners let the pauper practice of Wellington city and township to Dr. W. Morgan for one year at The bonds of the Welling ton National and Sumner National banks as depositories of county funds were approved.

Tbe suit will effect every county in the state through which the road passes. Some erroneous assessments were corrected and C. B. McMahon, Mason's abscond ing barber, was ordered released from jail.
