Last bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to cross continent February 16 to 18, warm wave 15 to 17, cool wave 18 to 22. Next disturbance will reach Pacific coast about February 22, cross west of Rockies by close of 23, great central valleys 24 to 26, eastern states 27. I expect this to be a radical disturbance of large dimension and that it will pass along mid-latitudes affecting all of the North American continent. The temperature will go high about the time the storm center is on your meridian but the high 9 J-'i Steinkirchner-Stein. Miss Agnes Stelnklrchner and Mr.

John Stein were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. aud Mrs. Henry Stelnklrchner, on West Eighth street, Wed.evening, the Rev. Father McGuire the Catholic church officiating. There were a large number of the more intimate friends of the contracting couple invited, who attended the ceremony.

Every room in the spacious residence was a bower of beautiful flowers, and similar The hallway was decorated with Alabama emilax alone, and both parlors were strung with the smilax, carnations and roses being used In profusion, which together presented a most pleasing appearance. The mantel in the front- parlor wa transformed into a beautiful bank, with the aid of pa'ms and ferns, with a huge bunch of oppolos at the top. The sideboard in the west dining room was also made into a pleasing bank of beauty, by a liberal use of palms and ferns, while all over the hous were strung fes toons of Alabama smilax, which brought the other flowers into very pleasing contrast with its pretty green. In the reception hall Miss Eva Steinkirchner and Miss Juliette Roff dispensed refreshing frappe to We all sound forth the loud hosannah when prosperity comes to us individually or collectively. This Is as It should be.

This Is In accordance with a universally accepted axiom, and acknowledgement, that prosperity Is a good thing and that as a material proposition we can't have too much of It. Then too there is a contention on the part of some that the prosperity of an Individual must of necessity favorably affect the entire community. But is this always susceptible of verification? Then, again, are high prices an Infallible evidence ot prosperity? Do the high prices of meats, for Instance, furnish indisputable evidence Of the prosperity of the butcher? To the layman It would seem so when taken at this time In connection with the low price of cattle, but then the high price of hogs Is a contemporaneous factor that must be reckoned with. Prices of all necessaries of life are admittedly high, but can we truly say that the stream of prosperity is on the rampage and sweeping everything along with It into the expansive sea of prosperity, where every craft sails majestically before kindly trade winds? Are not some of the smaller vessels liable to be run down by the stronger ones? For Instance: How Is the increase of the price of flour ten cents on the sack, which went Into effect last Saturday morning, goin' to contrib. ute to the consumer's prosperity? Admittedly the increase will benefit the miller and may even represent Just the narrow margin in price that insures a profit In his business.

To the average consumer the 10 cent Increase in the price of a sack of flour is Inconsequential, but to the lndl- Erpiit it ts of co n8iuerabu mo- The millers have a periecc rigni, morally and commercially, to set a price on their products that will return them a reasonable profit, but Is it. a defendable proposition that their prosperity benefits the entire community? Do high prices presuppose prosperity? High prices of the necessaries of life benefit the manufacturer and the middle man, but are inimical to the interest of the poor man the wage aerner. Expensive living is not consonant with the poor man's estate. His earning capacity, under the most favorable conditions, is limited. The outlay for food and clothing comprises substantially all of the poor man's expenses, but to the rich man these expenditures are comparatively insignificant.

Hence we must conclude that the poor man's salvation lies In low prices for food supplies and clothing aud tfrti, i BARNES" AGAIN Fred BaSom. of Joplin. One Xived in Newton Under an Assumed Name A Checkered Career, The Associated dispatches Wed. morning gave an account of a fistic scrimmage In the court room at the trial of a case In Joplin, Mo. In which a formerly pi Newton man was a participant.

The telegram states that Fred BaSorn and Wil liam Andrews, lawyers, engaged in a fierce ficrht in 1 Judge Potter's court there yesterday. Besides sev eral bad cuts and bruises the men were not seriously injured. Andrews accused BaSom of leading a double life and had witnesses to swear that he lived under the name of Barnes in Newton, Kansas. BaSom was prosecuting and Andrews defending in a lawsuit when the trouble arose. BaSom Is one of the wealthiest men In Joplin.

This fellow BaSom, alias Barnes, is well remembered by most of the older residents of Newton. He came here in 1877 and associated himself with the late Joseph W. Ady in the practice of the law, the firm name being Ady Barnes. In 1878 he was married to a Miss Gage, of this city, and soon thereafter his wife by a previous marriage appeared upon the scene and had the gay Lothario arrested for bigamy, Judge C. S.

Bowman being her at torney. His past exploits were thus brought to light, which showed that just prior to his coming here from Michigan he had collected the Insurance on his burned resi dence, had fled the country and located here under tiia name of "Barnes." The wife (Number 1) seems to have settled the case out of court and returned to her home in Michigan, carrying with her the In-insurance money for the burned dwelling. The agreement between the two was, without doubt, that she would not return to prosecute him. When the case was due to come up In court, the county attorney (Reed) was unable tp produce the prosecuting witness. The case was continued from term to term until at the end of two years it became barred by the sta tu te of limitations.

Following the exposure of past life, there was a dissolution of the firm of Ady Barnes, and "Fred BaSom" commenced the practice of law on "his own hook." At a later date be took Wm. Shaver into partnership with him, the firm name being Ba Som Shaver. This partnership, however, was soon dissolved and BaSom removed to Columbus, taking with him his bigamous wife, and so far as known in this community she Is still consorting with him. From Columbus he drifted into Joplin, and engaged in mining speculations, amassing a great fortune. The checkered career of Fred BaSom would furnish data for a book of romance founded on fact.

He was a young man of splendid attainments and resourceful to a remarkable degree, but as publicity has from time to time been thrown on his conduct he has been shown to be unprincipled in most of his transactions wherein morality was Involved. G. A. It. Entertainment.

But If you want to know the truth and hear It presented so Intelligibly and winuingly that your attention is at once arrested and held from beginning to end of the discourse, then you should attend the services conducted by this schol arly and consecrated man of God Dr. Wells dealt with the moralist Mon. night and answered the ques tion. "Can Morality Alone Save a Soul?" Text: Rom.

3:20 "There fore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified In his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin." "Morality is a good thing In Its place," said the speaker, "but not a good life preserver." And he illus trated this statement by the case of passenger on a ship-wrecked steamer who filled his pockets with gold coin in order to save It, but in stepping aboard the life boat missed his foot ing and was sunk instantly by the weight of gold In his pockets. A conversation with a brilliant young lawyer in a 1'ennsylvania town, to whose home the. evangelist was once invited, was also relatea at some length. This lawyer claimed to be a moralist, that is, to be living up to all the requirements of the moral law. Dr.

Wells entered into a friendly conversation with him In his own parlor, In the course of which the lawyer frankly admitted that be stole, lied, swore, broke the Sabbath and did other immoral things. He blushed and perspired under the humiliating confession as he saw what a poor moralist he was after all. The heads of Dr. Well's sermon last night were as follows: A moralist cannot be saved for: I. Personal obedience to God's aw falls far short of its require ments.

II. Obedience for a time, though perfect, could not satisfy for sins that are past. III. If salvation could be obtained under the moral law the death of Christ would be in vain. IV.

Salvation by obedience to moral law would be an act of justice on God's part, not of mercy. If saved by morality salvation would be occasion for boasting on the part of the creature. VI. Because the mission of the moral law is not to justify and save, but to condemn the guilty and sen tence him to death. All these points were made clear as sunlight by the lucid statements, apt illustrations and earnest manner of the speaker; each was buttressed and proved by pertinent quotations from Scripture.

Not a man was there on the large jury of hearers last night who went away without being convinced that the moralist stands absolutely no chance of being saved If he depends on his morality. Is "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us by the washing of regeneration and renew ing of the Holy Ghost." per cent To Loan on Farm Property.

Last month the Lackawanna railroad entered the seventy-fifth year of its existence, for In January, 1828, the Ithaca and Oswego rail road, now a part of the Lacka wanna system, received its charter. The Lackawanna officials recently came across an old time table which is a queer looking bit of printed pa per with a picture of an old-fashioned locomotive with two freight cars, it was published July, lbas, and announced a new arrange which proves that it took over ten years to complete the first twenty nine miles, the length of the com pleted Ithaca and Oswego road. The train was called a "Transpor tation train," and left Ithaca daily at 4 p.

m. except Sundays It stopped at "Howe's Turnout, Whitcomb's and Wilsey's Mills to take aud dis charge loading and receive cars" that might be "in readiness to join the train." The train from Ithaca went only as far as Gridley's where it arrived at 8 p. taking four hours for the trip. From there an other train left at 4 a. m.

for Oswego, arriving in that town at 7 a. Freight cars were called "burden cars," and only those registered In the Secretary's office were permitted to run on the road. Such cars had to have a certificate of fitness from an "engineer. Cars not belonging to the company were hauled on condi tion that they carry a "way bill of loading" and "pay toll at the gates at the rate of 3 cents per ton per mile." It was no uncommon thing to see a norse trader sitting in tne last car holding the halter of his horse, the animal trotting along the track be hind. Today the Lackawanna loco motives are among the most power- ul in the East.

The rails of the early days consisted of flat bars of Iron, two and one-half Inches wide, five-eighths of an inch thick, and were laid dn timber running length wise. Across the car floor was. an iron sneatnlng, to prevent loos ened rails from flying up and Injur ing passengers. As engines had no whistles, the only warning the engineer could give was to raise the valve balance and let the steam blow off. Trains would stop for passengers anywhere along the line; all the passenger had to do was to stand by the rails and wave his hand, and often the trains slowed down to allow the fireman to jump off and chase chickens from the track.

Today the Lackawanna has a double track system from the Great Lake to the sea, aud modern methods have done away with the time tables for trains of "burden" care combined with passenger cars.

With the present Installment of snow, the opportunities for sleighing in this section are put far in ad vance of any season within the memory of the oldest Inhabitant. If like conditions should obtain each recurring winter season greater preparations would no doubt be made and a greater number of handsome turnouts would be in evidence.

As it is now, we have a number of elegant sleighs, but the hastily improvised, and necessarily crude contraptions are woefully in the majority. Perhaps, though, the enjoyment extracted from a spin be hind a high-stepping roadster is juBt as keenly enjoyed in the latter as It would be In the more elegantly appointed and costly rigs.

If the storm center passes north of you It will cause hot weather and the cool wave follow ing will not go to very low temperatures. If It passes south of you the warm wave will not go to very high degrees while the cool wave will go to lower temperatures than usual. If the storm center passes over you the warm wave will be very warm and the cool wave very cool.

Warm wave will cross west of the Rockies about February 22, great central valleys 24, eastern states 26. Cool wave will cross west of Rockies about February 25, great central val leys 27, eastern states 29. This warm wave and the cool wave following will go to greatest extremes along parallel 40. The above elements of a storm wave, that Is the warm wave first, the storm center following and the cold wave following that will prob ably be a compound disturbance, ra ATft uary and the first days of February aud which was repeatedly announced In these bulletins. These great disturbances usually begin with a warm wave, a storm center and a cold wave passing along the boundary line between the United States and Canada, A few days later another complete set of storm elements pass eastward about 500 miles south of the former set.

Then comes the third set passing about one thousand miles south of the first. In these compound or complex storm disturbances the first set of elements will be a day or two earlier than my forecasts indicate, the second set about on time and the third set a day or two behind the dates ndlcated.

In fact we believe the railroad blameworthy, although they may be acting in a justifiable manner, in the recent order that millers shipping beyond the lines on which they are located, must either reload at connecting points or wait until "foreign" cars may be secured.

That Is, a Newton miller having a consignment to Europe must wait until a carfrpm. some sea board line New Yor Central, Pennsylvania or can be secured, or pay reloading charges at the terminus of the Santa Fe line at Chicago, or the Mo.

It has positively no equal in that regard.

Tor eighteen years I suffered from heart trouble. The least excitement caused severe fluttering and palpitation and at night smothering spells would frequently cause me to sit up in bed for breath. Beside the frequent physical pains I was constantly in an agony or apprehension lest it might bring about my sudden end.

After a beautiful solo by Mrs. Cat-lin, "I Love Thee," to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Roff, the bridal party entered the back parlor, aud were met there by the groom and his best man, Mr. George Smith. The ring bearer was Little Miss Louise Steinkirchner, a sister of the bride, who was dressed in pure white; she was followed by Little Miss Dorothy Somers, prettily dressed in blue, who strewed flowers in the path of the bride.

Then came the maid of honor, Miss Anna Steinkirchner, who was very becomingly gowned In white silk mull trimmed with applique, and the bridesmaid, Miss lieezer, who was very prettily dressed in white Paris mullen. The bride's attendants both carried pink carnations and roses. Then catac the bride leaning on her fathers arm. She was beautifully gowned in a charming creation of white china siik, trimmed with point lace. The party advanced to the bow window in the rear pallor, where they took their station In front of Rev.

Father McGuire, who then spoke the words that joined for life these young people, the beautiful and impressive ring ceremony being used. After the ceremony the assembled company pressed forward to offer congratulations to the happy couple. After the congratulations the guests partook of a buffed lunch, the gentlemen being eerved In the north dining room, and the ladies in the west. The bridal party was then driven to the Arcade, where dinner was served, and the bride and groom then took No. 7 for Las Vegas, where, after a days visit, they wl'i start for California, for an ex tended tour.

They will be at home to their many friends after April 1st, in their homa in Las Vegas. Many costly and beautiful presents, both useful and ornamental, too numerous to be enumerated, were received. Cut glass, silver, and little presents, all of which go to make the home comfortable, will undoubtedly be fully appreciated by Mr. and Mrs. Stein.

The bride Is one of Newton's most charming and cultured young society ladies. She spent the major portion of her life here, and her many estimable traits of character have endeared her to the many who claim 1 the favor of her friendship. The groom Mr. John Stein, while not being a resident of this city, is well known here, and highly respected. He has been with the Fred Harvey system for twenty-three years, and has rapidly risen to the present position which he now enjoys, that of Superintendent of the hotels from Kansas City to Albuquerque and south.

Those who are intimately acquainted with him speak highly of his personal character.
