SENSATIONAL MARITAL FELICITY
A sensational case of marital feli-
city appears in New York, wh«re a
man. after thirty-six years of mar-
riage, informs the world that hie wife
is absolutely perfect, that he would
not take $10,000,000 for her or give 10
cent« for any other woman that ever
lived. For the wife's part she says
that no one could help but be a per-
fect wife with such a perfect husband.
The awe-striking qualities of a
ruby, a pearl or a diamond lie in its
peculiar and individual beauty, but
the most sensational feature of this
beautiful marriage is its resemblance
to a happiness that is as common as
clam shells. Most women have to bo
perfect in order to put up with hus
bands at all, and that is half the bat
tie. Most husbands gradually iin
prove by contract with the example
until they attain a pretty fair stand-
ing at home.
For the sake of silencing rain
crows who croak divorce statistics,
we wish that the census takers would
count up all the cases of marital feli-
city that have happened in the last
fifty years. Against this sum total,
infelicity would not make a drop in
the bucket.—St. Louis Republic.
A RIDICULOUS CHARGE.

John R. Walsh, through the kind-
ness of a prison warden and the
generosity of the attorney general
anil the president, was permited to
die in his own home, surrounded by
loving relatives, instead of in the
grim confines of a prison. Now
comes his son-in-law, before the body
is cold, and declares that "Wlcker-
shani and Taft wanted the last
ounce of blood." It is to be hoped
this son-in-law will not be taken seri-
ously. The president and all under
him connected with "the department of
Justice and the prison, Invited public
censure when they released John R.
Walsh. The general public Insists
that a banker is entitled to 110 more
consideration when he sins, than is
the half-breed who sells liquor to
Indians and gets ten years for it,
«a>8 the Leavenworth Post.
Undoubtedly Walsh would have
been sufficiently punished by fifteen
minutes' confinement In prison. But
the public doeBii't look at It that way
and, after all, It Is the public that
la supposed to rule. There are plen-
ty of Instances where men who were
rvlng much longer sentences in pri-
son for lesser crimes than those of
Walsh, have died in prison. They,
too, had living and loving wives and
children, who, however, were not even
permitted to brighten the lust mo-
J menu of those who died in felons'
cells. Why should the relatives of
Walsh censure those who Bet aside
precedent and custom and Invited the
censure of the public by permitting
John Walsh to go home to die?
Oklahoma city, Oct. 27.—Nick M.
Ellis, formerly cashier of the Plant
era and Mechanics' Bank, was not
tried Thursday under any of the in
dlctments returned agaliiBt him by
the recent grand Jury, for Judge J
J. Carney of the District Court bus
tained the defendant's objection to
the introduction of evidence In the
Reed note case, and as three of the
retraining indictments were based
on the same proposition, they were
dismissed. This leaves only one of
the original Indictments standing
against Ellis, one that involves a
charge of the misapplication of 1117
from the funds of the Planters and
Mechanics bank, which was stricken
from the docket at the request of
Assistant County Attorney A. F, Moss
and will not be tried until next term.
Moss stated Thursday night that
he would file information In Justice
of the peace court against Ellis on
each of these charges.
Judge Carney's decision came bb
a complete surprise to the prosecu-
tion, as the point upon which he de-
cided the cases had been argued to
Judge W. R, Taylor on a demurrer
and overruled by him. The indict-
ments knocked out fbursday charge
Ellis with the transfer of forged in-
struments to the bank, of which he
was cashier. The first 12 men called
were selected as the Jury to try the
case, something unusual in such an
important case, and every juror was
closely examined by E. G. McAdams
and Sam Harris, representing Ellis,
and Assistant County Attorneys A.
F. Moss and Herbert M. Peck on the
part of the State.
After the Jurors had been selected
the defense objected to the Introduc-
tion of evidence on the ground that
no offenBe was charged in the In-
dictment. The contention was that
it was impossible for Ellis to have
sold, conveyed or delivered a forged
or counterfeit note to the bank be-
cause he was the cashier of the
bank, and Nick M. Ellis, the man,
could not deliver a forged note to
himself as cashier and thus be guilty
of the crime, which is second de-
gree forgery. This contention had
previously been overruled by Judge
Taylor on the presentation of the
demurrers, but Judge Carney held
differently and decided in favor of
the defense.
The indictment, which caused so
much comment on account of an ap-
parent alteration, which, it was
claimed, was made after the indict-
ment waB returned, was thrown out
on demurrer. District Judge W. R.
Taylor was a witness on this propo-
sition, testifying that he had seen tho
Indictment after It had been returned
and that at the time he saw it no
change had been made. The Indict-
ment also contained the feature ob-
jected to in the other three, and was
consequently thrown out also.
GIRL HFLD AFTER
$1,440 IS' STOLEN
FROM "MR. EASY"
Muskogee, Okla.. Oct. 27.—A. Rhea,
an Implement dealer and stockbuyer,
with business headquarters at Dal
las and Denison, Tex., claims to have
been robbed of $1,440 in Muskogee
Wednesday night. A prepossessing
young woman is being held in jail
here while the police Investigate the
caBe.
She is supposed to have been with
Rhea when he was robbed, but no
money was found on her. Rhea, who
is said to have been drinking heavily,
has not been able to give a clear
account of how or when he was
robbed. The money, he claims, was
stolen from his coat pocket while
he waB in a room at his hotel. The
police found $600 more on his per-
son and also found his pockets were
full of holes.
Rhea came here Wednesday from
Okmulgee, where he visited a brother
who Is in business there.
This brother stated over the tele-
phone that Rhea had $3,000 when
he left Okmulgee for Muskogee. The
police are working on a theory that
Rhea came here and bit at some sort
of a "sure-thing" game and lo6t hia
"roll."

LONGER MILITARY TERM.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 26.—A tem-
porary order increasing tho term of
Philippine military service from two
years to two years and six months
has been made permanent. When the
Mexican trouble became serious, army
officials did not care to dispatch
troops from the States to the Phil-
ippines, as it was felt they were
needed nearer home. Accordingly,
the term of service of Philippine
regiments was increased by six
months. When it was found that this
increase caused no friction It was de-
cided to make the practice perma-j
nent.
