The Principals In the Barrtun Affair are Arretted Charged With Adultery. County Attorney H. O. Bowman re ceived a letter yesterday from the marshal at Burrton, informing him that it would be well to take some action in the Austen matter, as the oase was becoming serious, and ths residents in the vioinity of the Austen horns were making threats of burning the house and various and sundry other things! In compliance with the request, Sher iff Masters went to Burrton last night, and arrested Mrs. Austen and young Goldsmith, oharging adultery, They were arrested on three oounts.

Mrs. Austen gave bond for her appearanoe next Thursday, but Goldsmith did not fare so well. He failed to provide a bond, and is now in jail in this oity, Sheriff Masters oould not find Gold smith last evening, as the latter had gotten wind of the faot that a warrant was out for him, and fled forthwith He was looated in Reno oounty, how ever, and aooompanied Mr. Masters to Newton this noon. The outcome of the oase will be watched with interest.

If the charges alleged are true, the oase wil! oertainly be a sensational one. Score Another For Newton Water. Superintendent Glover of the water works takes muoh oomfort in the faot that while other towns are suffering from a soaroity of water, Newton has a great plenty, and of the best that oan be found in the If anythihg, there is more water now than there has been at any time in the history of the plant. Several days ago, a representative of at. eastern firm who is oompiliaga report of the condition of the water works systems in Kansas, was here and did not hesitate to say that Newton had the best plant, the bBit system, and the best water of any plaoe he had visited.

This is a eouroe of muoh gratification to Mr. Glover, the oity oounoil, and to all olti zens of Newton who have the oity's welfare at heart. A Beautiful Decoration. While C. S.

Bowman was in New York City reoently he purchased, one of the most beautiful deoorations we were ever permitted to look upon.

It rests upon an ease! and has been plaoed upon the grave of his daughter, Mrs. W.M, Ray mond, who died about a month ago. It is oertainly a very beautiful deooration, and at a distanoe of a few feet one would think it was a wreath just from the greenhouse, so natural does it seem, For rent Three room house, in good oondition, on West 7th street.

One saloon at Caldwell has been selling a oar load of beer a day einoe the rush at El Reno began. All trains stop at Caldwell twenty minutes for meal, ar the brakemen on the passenger trains aonounoe that beeroan be bad at a saloon "two blooks west of the depot, and plenty of time to go there." One day there were two continuous streams of people from the depot to the saloon. One string of thirsty denizens went up town on the north side of the blook and the other went on the south side, both lines meeting at the joint. Each mm bought from one to a half dozen bottles of beer and took it baok to the train. Another Heparator Burned.

Yesterday afternoon while threshing at the farm of Mr. Leonard east of the oity, a fine new separator was burned, a spark from the engine setting fire to the straw staok, and before the orew oould remove the separator, everything was a mass of flames.

Ferguson. The Only Thing That The Story It the Pact That the Do. ain't Had. There was quite a little exoitemeni on Main street this morning. A dog was supposed to have the rabies, or something similar, as this is the time of the year when every dog is said to have bis day, and one of the 'popular railroad boys attempted to put it out of misery by the pistol route, The dog was evidently from the rural districts, and had oome to town to spend the day with bis oity oousins.

Having made the trip afoot, with the thermometer something like 105 in the shade, his dogship was over come by heat and fell in a fit near the Santa Fe station. The aforementioned railroad man was standing near. Whip ping out a gun from bis hip pooket he Bred three shots at his dogship, one of them making a flesh wound. The dog, having reoovered from biB indisposition ran down the street with bis intended slayer after him. When in front of Grove's grocery store, the canine stopped, and two more shots were fired at the poor beast, with the same result a mere flesh wound.

The dog then ran north a little further 'and stopped in front of the Newton Musio oompany's establishment, where it was quiokly surrounded by a large crowd of men, who offered all kinds of suggestions as to the manner in whioh its life should beended. Marshal Ainsworth happened along about that time, and pioking the dog up by the nape of the neok, threw it in a dray standing near, and instructed the dog oatoher to take it outside the oity limits, where its misery was ended. It has since been said the dog was simply dry and was in searoh of something to quenoh its thirst. It might have known Newton was a prohibition town. POLITICAL GOSSIP Prom Present Indication.

Judge Greene Hay Have Some Opposition, The following bit of politioal gossip appeared in a reoent issue of the Topeka Journal. It is pleasing to Mr. Green's many friends in this vioinity to know that he is considered the favorite in the raoe for assooiate justioe: "From all indications there will be a pretty fight in the Seventh distriot next year to see who shall wear the wig and gown as the member from that distriot on the supreme beoob. Henry Mason of Garden City, where the thermometer has been up to 110 and the lawyers have had nothing to do but figure on the future, is to be a oandidate for associate justice. It didn't take him long to de-oide that way even in the midst of the hot weather.

He will bs a oandidate for Justioe Green's There are seven justioes and by oommon oonseot they will be divided among the seven congressional districts. The fight in the First district as well as Shawnee oounty's low standing in the politioal thermometer when it oomes to appointments made by Governor Stanley last winter to Chief Justico Doster's distriot the Fourth, and left the fight in the First distriot to be fought out in the convention in 1902. The Greene and Mason foroes are already lining up and as it is very unlikely that both' can re- oeive a nomination a warm oontest may be expeoted. The "ins" have written Greene at the top of the board as the favorite." YOUNG PEOPLE WED. Hill Mary Colton United la Marriage to Mr.

M. Drnea. Mr. Charles M. Druoe and Miss Mary 0, Colton were married yesterday after noon at the home of the groom's parents, 227 East Seoond street, the Rev.

The Hansen joins with their many friends in extending ongratulations. To Onr Friends, We would like to give a parting word, as time and the hot weather will not permit of us seeing but few, and' will say that although the peouliar guidance of the band of fate, has made it necessary in our battle of life, to leave New ton after a residence of twenty-two and one-half years, we feel that there is no spot on earth that will be as much like horns to us.
