Stubbt Family Reunion. The following from a Fowler, Colo, paper will be of interest to the many friends of the Stubbs family in this part of the country: An interesting reunion is being held at the home of C. S. Stubbs. of the Beaty Stubbs Trading Co.

Four brothers all beyond the allotted age of man have come together to live over childhood days. They are John Jacob, Stephen and Mahlon Stubbs. John Stubbs' home is in Mulvane, Jacob Stubbs' in Loug Beach, Stephen Stubbs, father or C. S. Stubbs, Bark-ley, and Mahlon Smbbs at No 4123 Mitter street, Dever Colo.

J.C. Stubbs, general agent of the Wells Fargo Express Denver, is the sou of Mahlon Stubbs. These brothers have met for the first time in seventeen years. All are hale, hearty, active men. Their average weight is 176 pounds, and heigh 5 feet.

11 inches. They were of a family of thirteen childreu, born in Ohio and Indiana. The maternal grandfather was 97 years old, and the grandmother lived 103 years. They lived together the remarkable period of 79 yeirs. All are strong adherents of the Friends church.

They are thorough- enjoying this occasion, which will doubtless always be remembered as one of the pleasantest of their lives. Willard Raynolds, a former University student who graduated in the law class of 19C0, died Sunday night at Littleton, of consumption. Mr.Reynolds had been pract-ing law at Parsons and about eight months ago went to Colorado for his health. By the University and Lawrence people who knew him he will be remembered as a very quiet.unas-Buming, but bright young man. He worked in Corse's office while attending the University.

Williamson Gires In Her IMvorc I'lea. Julia A. Williamson filed a petition in the district court for absolute divorce from John C. Williamson on the grounds of cruelty. Her tale Is tho usual one with epicy additions.

The couple we married September 15, 1900, and all of the intervening time Julia says Bhe has lived a faithful and loving wife. But the defendant on the other hand has been guilty of all kinds of ungentle-manly language not unknown in martial relations. Among thr pxprs-Bions of his dissatisfaction in his home he told his better half that he was going away where ho could get "cheaper and better board" and that too, when he had the nerve to expect her to provide delicious meals when he wasn't providing her even with the necessaries of life. Sh concluded that somebody else would have to try to satisfy such an Epicure. The fair petitioner further recites that the defendant trifled his time away reading "trashy novels," and loitered around the house when he ought to have been out hustling a decent living for them.

Instead of that he let the work of getting the farm produce oil the farm and car-Tied to the markets all devolve on her. She was also expected to do the out door work and this proved to be the last straw that broke the matrimonial back. The plaintiff filed a similar suit for divorce last Match, hut 6 ays she withdrew it on pleadings of the defendant, who didn't stick to his protestations of loving devotion if she would only come hack to him. This last divorce has got to stick she declares. Dog or Children.

A lady pushing a baby carriage and leading a little child created not a little excitement near the Warren street crossing early Monday evening. A small dacheshund which was following her started the fun. Tho dog seemed amply ablo to ialce care of himself but the woman was badly worried over his safety. The street was crowded and when the bench legge'd pup got knocked over by a bicycle the woman screamed and abandoned both the children to rescue him. The oldr child left alone began to cry and the baby carriage rolled off the sidewalk and spilt the baby and a dozen packages into the street.

Meanwhile the dog had in attempting to get out of the woman; reach been run over by the wheels of a hack. At last she caught him and without ascertaining at all whether either child had been injured placed him with the babj in the buggy which some bystander had set upright and proceeded east on Warren street. Several remaiks were heard from some of those who witnessed the little incident which would make tho lady's ears burn had she heard them.

The following is an extract from the minutes of a called meeting at Head Quarters tent at Camp Lin-coin Monday, Sept. 21, IW6, commander Munk presiding and S. J. Churchill Adjutant. Mrs.

Emma Wall, past national president of the Ladies of the G. A. R. offered the following which was heartily commended and unanimously adopted "The state reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic department of TCunsau of hao oomA and jon and every citizen of the flue, old historic, patriotic and hospitable city of Lawrence is hapfy, because for the past week we have" had encamped within our gates in annual reunion, representatives of the grandest army that has ever been permitted to raiso its standard he- a. neath God's starry dome, the Grand Army of the Repulic.

"These meetings, these revivals of patriotism are good reunions to have in any state, aud conducted as this reunion has been from a high moral, intellectual and patriotic plane, reveals something of the devotion to the unity of the republic, the love of liberty and spirit of Christianity that sent more than of men to put down the rebellion, something of the lofty patriotism that bore the union soldiers bravely through four years of camps and marches, battles, bivouac, and prison pens, from the time the curtain rose at Ft until it was rung down at Appomattox. These meetings reveal something of the appalling price in life and treasure it cost to preserve the union and emancipate the slaves and serves to remind the people of this mighty nation, they can never repay the great old patriots of the civil war for they did for humanity and the republic. "The great events leading up to and culminating in the civil war, the victories of truth and right in the history of this great nation, the con victions that have crushed error and destroyed prejudice; the patriotism that has immortalized our flag, the stupendous influence of the heroic deeds of the men who gave to the air one flag of honor and authority in this governmental! passed in review, as the eloquent speecUes fell from the lips of the speakers upon the great audiences that thronged the mammoth pavilion three times a day, from the dedication Wednes day morning to the closing services Sunday night."

Commander and Ladies and Gentlemen: I desire to offer the follow ing resolution: Resolved, That the people of Lawrence who have enjoyed the moral, intellectual and patriotic entertainment furnished us during this reunion that is now a precious memory and part of the history of the great soldier state of Kansas, as the most profitable and successful reunion ever held in our department, tender to A. W. Smith our esteemed department commander, and through him to the eloquent speakers who have addressed us, and the famed musicians and celebrated vocalists, the Haskell band and the Lawrence chorus, our heartfelt thanks for the matchless program be so wisely prepared and ably executed in the true spirit of the exalted principles of the noble order of which he is the official head, the Grand Army of the Republic.

O. A. Tt. TCso1nl During the last hours of the reunion, and before final adjournment, the following resolutions were passed by a unanimous vote of the organization "The Grand Army of the Republic Department of Kansas, in annual reunion assembled in the city of The Office of the Gazette Is In Danger of Being Pulled for Forgery. It is not often that you can scare a newspaper man, but when he gets stampeded, he falls all over himself.

That io Us. It io uol all loug story, but it may be profitable to other newspapers, and so it is given for their benefit. The Jetfersonian Gazette has a subscriber in Oklahoma. In fact, it has a great many subscribers there, but none other like the one which concerns this storv. She is a woman at least her front name of Susie would indicate that such is the case, as well as the gender.

She has been getting the paper for a loug time, and then took it into her head to refuse it, without saying anything to the home office about it. She did just like other people you know. She told her own postmaster she wouldn't have it. Now it may as well be stated for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with newspaper business that a thing of this kind has two kinds of results. If the editor is young and inexperienced, it breaks his heart to think that any one could be so cruel as to fail to appreciate his so unfeeling as to order it stopped.

But on the seasoned editor it has exactly the opposite effect. He gets hot. And he thinks he has ample justification for it. If you go to a grocery store and order the grocer to send you a pound of butter each week until further orders, you do not expect when he has sent you fifty two pounds of butter, at the end of the year to refuse to pay for all but the first pound. And yet, that is exactly what a great many people try to do with their newspaper.

The fact that they take the paper from the office and read it, cuts no ice; they calmly tell you they didn't order it, as soon as they have taken it as long as they can safely, and as the small amount will seldom justify a law suit, the fellow gets his reading free, and then changes off and plays the same trick with some other paper. But ordinarily the one who gets the paper is content to refuse to pay for it and to give you the horse laugh when you try to collect your bill. This Oklahoma lady, however, is differeat. In order to show the stuff of which she is made we quote a part of her letter in which she makes it plain that she is going to start something. She has evidently imbibed the Oklahoma theory that the thing necessary is to get in your bluff first, and make it go And this is the way she does it.

We quote the part verbatim "You are no one else have a rite to use my name for no purpose without my permission where any one uses my name with out my consent for the purpose of obtaining money from me they lay their selves liable to the law for forgery. Now that would seem to put us in for it, but there is a loophole, and our subscriber very generously gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it. Instead of opening the prison doors after convicting us without benefit of clergy, the letter continues: "The law gives you a right in special cases to continue sending the paper is mine a special I have known of you stoping the paper without the subscription being pade." It would be heartless after that liberal offer to refuse to accept it, and thus throw away a chauca to escape the pen for forgery. And we submit that it would be a mighty mean man who would not be touched with such generosity. Read-Spurgeon.

He said that a large amount of money could be saved by going into Kansas City over some other line. He did not want bonds, but the only question was what the people of Lawrence would do.

"What Was Talked About and Done at the Meeting Yesterday Afternoon. Mr. Dickinson, geneial manager of the Orient railroad, spoke concerning the road, and stated that the road would not come by way of Bald win; that while it was not impossible for the road to be built! through that section of the country, that it was impracticable, and that the purpose of this meeting was to asceitain what the citizens of this town would do towards rendering material aid to the road. That they did not expect the citizens of this community to vote bonds, but that they did expect them to subscribe to the construction stock of the road. He slated, moreover, that if Baldwin city offered the Orient road two hundred thousand dollars, there would be no object in building the road through that country.

The proposed route, as far as could ba ascertained from Mr. Dickinson's tUk, would run parallel with the Union Pacific from Kansas City and cross the river at Eudora and into Douglas county. Judge Eaton was the next speaker. His talk was similar to that of Mr. Dickinson.

Ho stated that it wa- not the purpose of the moating to talk, of voting bonds to help the road; that the Orient railroad did not expect Douglas county people to vot any bonds, but that they did expect the citizens of Lawrence to render tha road some substantial aid that they expected the people to subscribe to the construction stock of tho road. He that it was sure thing that the road would built, and that it would be completed and in full operation from ias i City to the terminal point within two years. He also utated that it was a settled thing that the road would not built by way of Baldwin, and he further stated that it would be an in jury to the business welfare of this town if the road did not run through it, aud would be built three miles south of tho city. Mr. Grimes was the next speaker, 3 Gif S3 Vein This Keystone la the Identifying sign of the best watch case inade no matter what it costs.
