Mosof the mines are working and mak ing new strikes, thus developing new ground. The price of ore is more satisfactory than for some time, and will go higher. At least that is the" opinion of men who have made a study of min ing conditions. The Baxter Springs camp is fast becoming recognized as a tamp which is going to last long after lots of the other camps are cut out and forgotten, the reason being that ore in this camp is found in sheet or blanket formation, thus insur ing a lasting quantity to work on. The outlook for the camp is very bright, indeed. By The Way. The state had on deposit in the Ft. Scott bank which suspended the other day something over ten thousand dollars. It is to be hoped that every depositor will be paid in full and.it is confident ly asserted that such will be the case. But in the meantime the state officials are testing easy tl.ere are cn deposit in the state treasury more than enough' mu nicipal bonds to f ecure every dol lar of the state's deposit. The federal goverptnent also has money on deposit in the suspend ed bank and every dollar of this is also amply secured. By the way, what is your ex planation of the reason the nation and the state are entitled to abso lute securitv while the individual who has gathered together a few hundred dollars by hard work and careful saving is not entitled to equal security? Governor Hocii. Card Parties Lotteries Bridge parties, when prizes are offered, are lotteries, according to a ruling of the Postoffice de partment. According to a decision made to-day by the Postoffice depart ment at Washington, it is illegal to send invitations through the mail to bridge parties or to any card parties where prizes are given. A conscientious man has been reading in the papers about card parties at which prizes were awarded and money had been won and lost at bridge. He wrote to the Postmaster General and received a reply from E. P. Goodwin, assistant attorney general, saying card parties are regarded as lotteries when prizes are given and that matter relating to them is un mailable. ' For Quick Cash.

The Married Man, Before' a man is married, he is considered a fit companion for any woman, but as soon as he is married he is thought to be dan gerous except when his wife is along to wither him. A man may travel, .the world over, and come back all right, but at home he is considered a savage unless his wife is along to control him. Young women are allowed to spend a great deal of their time with unmarried men, but if a married-man. walks along the sidewalk, the older members of the family rush out and bring the girls in. The married man must have been guilty of some great wickedness in the past; otherwise they would not be looked . upon with so much suspicion.

' CHRONIC DISEASES A SPECIALTY. cent amusements are platuied for all sorts of people except married men; it is generally believed that married men are so wickedthat they only enjoy swearing, drink ing whiskey jand chewing plug tobacco. A great deal is done by young women to entertain un married men, but a married man particularly if he has children, is a wretch if he wants to be en tertained beyond allowing the children to climb over him. Mar ried women have their afternoon parties, and enjoy themselves, but a married man is not trusted in the sacred precincts of his own home when there is company; it is feared that even his wife may fail Jo keep him from acting up, and possibly shooting some of the guests. No More Drinking On Trains Frank Ryan, railroad commis sioner, believes that the railroad board has authority now to for bid passengers drinking liquor on trains and he will urge that board to issue such an order. If he has his way the order will be directed to the railroads to pre vent passengers from drinking liquoron trains and if the passen gers refuse to do so to put them off. Kansas has no specific law on that subject now. Representative .Mitchell of Lawrence proposes to push one through this winter. In discuss ing his plan Commissioner Ryan today said: "A passenger on the trains of Kansas is entitled to ride from his starting point to. destination, if he purchases a ticket, and should not be forced to partake of a drink against his will from the bottle of his fellow passenger who has partaken, so muck of. the contents o"f the bottle that he doe not know how to conduct himsell in the presence f ladies and chil dren. If a man must drink beet andwhiskey, that does aot givr him the right to annoy others, who prefer that he should poison himself and let others a'one. Coaldnt Face The Charge.
