Galena and Joplin are in the midst
of a war concerning Joplin 's electric
railway entering the former place
without the consent of the city coun

best thing for Galena to do is to build
a few smelters and reduce her mineral
instead of sending everything to Jop

about eighty per cent of the output,
but looses half the benefit by not
smelting her own ore.
The executive council at Topeka,
has ordered a search to be made for a
missing carpet valued at something
over SI 00. The carpet originally cov
ered the floors of the offices fitted up
for Bank Commissioner Briedenthal,
and had been in use about a year,
when it was taken up for the contract
ors to lit up that part of the state
house for the governor's use. A coup
le of weeks ago, Breidenthal was as
signed to the rooms in the east wing
formerly occupied by the attorney
general. A new carpet was" necessary
an the carpet used in the east wing
was thought of. Then it was discov
ered that the carpet was missing, and
nobody seems to know what has be
come of it.
During the progress of a iury trial
in Labette county the other day Judge
Skidmore left the bench for a mo
ment and stepped to the back part of
the room. While he was gone his
stenographer, Ray Ritter of Columbus,
perched himself in the judge's seat.
While the judge stood talking with an
acquaintance a stranger accosted him
and asked him' if he lived iri the town.
The judge replied that he lived in an
adjoining county. "Here attending
court, I suppose," the man said, and to
which the judge assented. The stran
ger then asked: "How old is that little
red-headed judge on the bench?" "I
don't know," Skidmore replied, "but
during the campaign it was reported
that he was about 40." "Forty! Why
he doesn't look it," exclaimed the
stranger. "No, I don't think myself
he does; but that fellow deceives his
looks in more ways than one."
Judge William Hall of McPherson
connty, has just rendered a most im
portant decision. It was a case where
in James P. Townend held a mortgage
against A. Rostine and others. A
judgment had been rendered in the
district court and an order made to
sell at sheriff's' salel Instead of ad
vertising for sale the plaintiff comes
before Judge Hall and moves the
court to appoint a receiver on the
lands in tuuestion. The cause was
tried on its merits, consuming three
full days and an examination of twen
ty witnesses. . The judge held to the
rule laid down by judge Martin that
if a party came into court asking a re
ceiver they must wave the excess of
interest over 7 per cent where the
mortgage stipulated under certain
conditions that it was to draw 12 per
cent. The next point was the solven
cy of the defendant and the equity of
the law. The judge worked on the
theory that the defendant was solvent
and a personal judgment would be
good. It was proved that the land
was worth what the mortgage called
for with 7 per cent interest on all de
ferred payments. The judge refused
to appoint a receiver.

Every merchant in Lawrence and a
number of other Kansas towns, who
handle D. M. Ferry & Co's seeds have
been served with a garnishment no
tice by a number of Finney county
farmers. Last year the Ferry compa
ny entered into contract with the com
plainants to furnish given quantities
of. certain designated seeds. When
the seeds were ready, the company le
fused to receive them, alleging as an
excuse that the seeds were of inferior
quality. The plaintiffs found out later
that the trouble with the company
was that they were badly overstocked
and straightway the disappointed
farmers brought suit for damages,
hence the garnishment service on
merchants selling Ferry's seeds
F. C. Heckerman who lives on sec
tion ei hteen in Jackson township, in
Sumner county, has found a new spe
cies of worm that is playing havoc
with the wheat in that vicinity.- The
worm is a puzzler to every farmer who
has looked at it. It resembles the
army worm, but those who know the
pest well by sad experience say that it
is not the army worm. It also resem
bles the web worm somewhat but has
no web and is a different species. The
worm is long and slender. The spec
imens are from an inch to an inch and
a half long. They vary in color; some
are nearly white others are a bright
green. It crawls up the stalk to the
head and then eats out the soft wheat
grains cleaning out the rows as it
goes up. A Mr. Fair has examined
the wheat crop on 20 different farms
in his neighborhood and finds them all
similarly affected.
Auditor Cole has set his face against
the seheine of an enterprising Topeka
salesman to cover Axminister, Mo
quette and Brussels carpets which
adorn the new offices of the state
house with rugs. After the carpets
had been laid rugs were thought of,
and straightway the salesman smear
ed them over the floors by the wagon
load. He spread twenty-nine beauties
in the four rooms occupied by the gov
ernor, and as many in the rooms of
the secretory of state, and in additon
a little $23 gem on the polished floor
of Mr. Edward's cosy consultation
room. The offices of the attorney gen
eral and of the treasurer of state were
given their full share, and that Mr.
Cole might not feel bad, his offices,
which had not been adorned with new
carpets, were given a half dozen or
more. When Mr. Cole found the floors
covered with rugs, he ordered them to
be rolled into a bundle and promptly
telephoned the salesman to take them
away.

- C-3 R. AND MRS.
Jonn Schrieber, of
Germantown, Pa.,
fsrTSX 1 1 I have been married
years, yet for 30
years they have
not spoken to each
other. They live
in the same house,
occupying separate
rooms but eating at
the same table, en
tertain company and pursue the ordi
nary avocations of life, with the excep
tion that no word ever passes the lips of
one which is addressed to the other. The
:ause of the rupture has been known to
Ihe neighbors of the Schrieber family
and the sedate residents of German
town for many years. The old couple
ire now both seventy years of age.
They have two sons, John, who lived
with his wife and child in the same
house with his silent parents, and
Charles, who is also happily married,
and who also resides in Germantown.
Then there is a widowed daughter liv
ing under the same roof that shelters
her father and mother, and another
married daughter, who lives about a.
mile from the Schrieber house. These
Tour have grown to manhood and wom
anhood under tho shadow of the cloud
which began to form when they were
children. They are all past their youth
now, and their own children are grow
ing up about them.
John Schrieber, who is now gray
bearded and gray-haired, is still a big,
powerful looking man, though he -is
over 70. He was a very handsome
young man 50 years ago when he took
ais pretty young wife home to the fam
ily residence. She was an Unruh, a
buxom, "pink-cheeked, bright-eyed girl,
with a goodly marriage portion, and
she had many suitors for her hand.
But the big flashing John Schrieber
won her heart and led her home in
triumph as his bride. The Unruhs and
the Schriebers were of good old Dutch
stock, and all were Baptists. The
young couple were well provided for as
matters were considered in those days,
and Schrieber has since amassed con
siderable wealth in his business, which
is now almost entirely in his son's
hands. For 20 years they lived togeth
er with as much happiness as come3 to
ordinary mortals. Their children were
born and grew to youth and maiden
hood, and no special sorrow or suffer
ing seemed to fall upon the family.
It semed as though some special Provi
dence guarded the household. Perhap3
it was this freedom from care and mis
fortune which hastened the breach.
Sorrow often knits family affection in
to a cable so strong that the force of a
world could not break it, and wealth
and happiness often weaken the ties.
The cloud formed in the blue sky
over the stricken home. At first it was
almost imperceptible, then it grew dai
ly and hourly, strengthened by pride
on both sides, by recrimination and
accusation, by tears and angry words.
Then it settled into a great pall of si
lence between husband wife, father and
mother. The two roads joined at the
altar for better or for worse separated,
the two lives that had been made one
were broken asunder, and under one
roof these two people took up their
lives more terribly apart than If they
were divided by leagues of land and
sea.
Life at the Schrieber house goes on
now in a regular routine day after day.
To the outside world it would seem a3

though they were a very happy family,
observing matters from appearances
only. But visitors who join in the plen
tiful dinner that is served each day are
perefectly aware of the state of affairs
which exists In the household and deli
cately endeavor to appear unconscious
of it.
The early breafast sees the entire
family gathered about the table. Mr.
Schrieber occupies the chair at the head
and his wife her place at the foot. The
son and his wife and boy and the wid
owed daughter are present. Each head
is bent while the master of the house
says a few words of grace. The wife
serves the coffee, the husband carves
the meat, and the breakfast proceeds.
There 13 conversation; laughter even.
The children relate their experience;
the women discuss their sewing; the
men talk business; but never by any
chance does a word, a smile or even a
look pass between the two who preside
over the table. After that meal the
men depart for business, as a rule, al
though Mr. Schrieber himself frequent
ly remains at home now. Mrs. Schrieb
er proceeds with various house- wifely
duties, for she is a good mother and a
good housekeeper. Her husband's
clothing as it comes from the laundry
is mended by her hands with the rest
of the household linen. The food he
eats is cooked under her supervision,
much of it by her own hands. He pays
the family bills, but not his wife's per
sonal expenses. This is not through
any lack of generosity on his part, but
because his wife has her own income and
prefers her independence. Bnt she will
not leave her home or children. While
she is obstinate in her silence, she is a
good woman, and she has never been
heard to complain or to speak of the
matter which has occasioned the quar
rel of 30 years ago.
